    One of the most criminally under rated American Hard Rock / metal bands of all time!!! Fire Down Under is without a doubt the best American Hard Rock / Metal album of all time and this is one of my all time fave live clips on all of TH-cam!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    along with Rainbow Rising Krokus One vice at a time Iron Maiden Killers
    Motorhead Ace of Spades Judas Priest Point of Entry and ACDC Back in
    Black and of course MONTROSE first album. What a great time for rock!
    I saw them a few times open for KISS but only once with Guy Sperenza
    and he had such a great voice. This version of the band was the best.
    This concert is so great so rare and they play mostly FDU! and Narita!
    I listen to this once a week at least. RIP GUY and Mark! rock legends!

      According to the band Guy quit because he was not getting the money that was rightfully his by the band's shitty management that fucked them over. I can imagine that Guy was just too frustrated to the music business to the point where he had enough of it. If Guy got the money that is rightfully his it would have a different outcome either Guy stay in Riot or be joining other bands like Anthrax for instance. Witch by the way I do agree it would be interesting.

    Ridiculously tight performance. These guys knew what the hell they were doing. It's like they were separated at birth from "On Through The Night"-era Def Leppard. (And we know where DL went from there...) Hard to believe Guy left a band this hot, not long after this gig.

    What I've learned over the years is that the record label they were signed to really didn't promote them like they should have. RIP Mark Reale one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. His solos were lengthy and yet he had an uncanny knack for keeping them fresh and inspiring

    Classic and the most very underrated band of all time! I bought Fire Down Under back in 1981 and it's still one of my favorite albums of all time.

  • @mikeengel6526
    @mikeengel6526 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I watch this video at least once a month here. One of my favorite bands of all time. Hands down FDU is one of the greatest hard rock/metal albums of all time. I was lucky enough to see this tour in Chicago just weeks before Guy quit. 39 yrs later, still one of the best concerts I have ever seen

    • @rangerrick222
      @rangerrick222 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I missed it but glad you did! Unlike that you watch it that often because I do too. Can't not watch Guy. He is just such a singer! Voice and charisma! Such POWER!!!

  • @josephharper3714
    @josephharper3714 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I still don’t know how the hell I missed these guys back in the day. Must be because I grew up on the west coast. I heard Eddie Trunk talking about them over the last couple of years and finally gave them a listen. I just added a vintage copy of Fire Down Below to my vinyl collection. I can’t stop listening to it! Gotta be one of the best rock albums ever, start to finish.

  • @mitchslotnick1850
    @mitchslotnick1850 9 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Fuckin great. Always were, always will be. Remembering my own teenage band daze in the late 70's when we would basically sneak into the Rock Palace or Zappa's to see a set or 2. At that time, Riot was a local band (on the rise) that we tried to emulate by covering their songs and copying their stage presence. Well trying to anyway! Fire Down Under was difficult (to say the least) for a bunch of tenderfoots! I was only playing bass for a few years back then so we did the best we could. Ever hear the phrase, "fake it until you make it"? lol- Good times. RIP Mark & Guy.

    @milesneedham 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I had tix in either 81 or 82... Saxon was the headliner, then Riot. Joe Perry Project was third, then Randy Hansen. Opening the show? Some up and comers called Motley Crue .... Biff, Saxons singer had a sore throat so they scrapped the whole show... Concord Pavillion was the facility. Great place to see a gig. I never saw Motley Crue or Riot, but saw the other 3 at various times... RIP Guy and Mark...

    • @chuckfischer2891
      @chuckfischer2891 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had a ticket to this show too! I will never forget- third row center stage... and it got cancelled! The Concord Pavillion offered our money back for unused tickets but I didn’t want it, I just wanted to go to the show- Noooooo!!! I remember the singer from Saxon got sick, but I had no idea who Joe Perry & Motley Crue we’re at the time (high school freshman). Still have Fire Down Under album today in 2021. Thanks for the memories...

    Criminally underrated band. What a voice Speranza had. Live he sounded close to LP quality. Saw them live at The Heavy Metal Holocaust festival in the UK in '81.
    An amazing blend of melody and metal.

    I first heard of Riot in 1981 at the tender age of 21 and fuckin loved my one and only cassette tape of Fire Down Under! I thought swords and Tequila was the best hardest rockin song for the longest time. Now at 60 I’m revisiting them and wondering what I missed! Still get my old blood pumping!

    Hope the publishing is owned by the writers; which would include estates of those dynamic, creative, amazing members who have gone on to play at their Father's Place in the sky. Long time fan after purchasing the FDU album, searched for any & all material Riot recorded. When Guy departed he took the soul of the band (IMO). I am grateful for this live footage post and the power of technology so that Guy & the band can be seen & heard forever.

    Waaaay ahead of their time in 1981! Amazing performance. Fire Down Under is one of the greatest Hard Rock / Metal albums of all time - a masterpiece. Too bad Quiet Riot had to come along and cause confusion. Sadly Guy and Mark are no longer with us - R.I.P.
