Rare live footage of Rip Rig & Panic

Personally I'm still waiting for the change. Damn they were such a great live band. Footage of my old nemesis Jez on sax (knew him when he played in The Method in what...78/9). Also HOW many times did I climb up those LMC stairs in Camden? Especially difficult after copious pints in The Engineers opposite and I won't even mention lugging the PA up and down after my band played their first gig there back in 81...

Oh the fun to have been had back in the day being a fly on the wall in a crash pad full of hippies all tripping out of their gourds after I spiked their chai tea...
Wonder how many differences they would have come up with then...

One of the greatest live bands. So many memories...solo Springer performance in York Cathedral, bunny hopping in a van being driven by Neneh around a Manchester car park, the night of the souped up speedy brain cells at the Primatarium in Kings X. The late and very lamented Sean Oliver (and our endless conversation about which jazz album was the best: he went for 'A Love Supreme' while I could never get past 'Spiritual Unity'...just wish that I still had all those live recordings I made of them. Oh well!
If you don't know them go out and buy the remastered and expanded editions of their three albums out now.
