Thanks...that was awesome! I haven't listened to those guys for nearly 20 years.

I use to have that on vinyl but recently put it on CD. (Fire down under) Kicks ass!

That rocks!

My first concert ever (1982) was Riot opening for Rush at the Meadowlands, NJ.

Very cool. We used to play that tape through the PA on our breaks, many years ago.

Man, that brings me back too.....1st year of college....where did the time go! I bought that album when it came out too! Loved it. Forgot I still have it! I forgot they were from Long Island like me. Where was that recorded I wonder????

I listen to Riot all the time. I never stopped. First heard them was I was 16 or so. I love Fire Down Under but was also a big fan of Rhett Forrester too.

I've got this whole concert on VHS!!
One of those bootleg vids that you can buy at a guitar show.
They play mostly songs from "Fire down under" and "Narita" with one or two earlier ones thrown in there as well. Great show and preformance!!
They really have a tendencey to play all the songs at break neck speed live also!! LOL!!
I think the only thing that bothers me about the vid is the "Copyright 1981" and the flashing "For Preveiw Only" is on the screen for the whole concert!
That's all I listen to any more is 70's and 80's hard rock/ metal and Riot is one of those bands I listen to quite freqently!

Rick Ventura.... maybe a distant cousin of mine

OK, I have every single cd of theirs except for this new one..their last "Through the storm" was a little weak.

I heard this one is back on track from a friend who really digs Riot...I'll grab it eventually, especially if it's on Metal Blade.

I prefer Thundersteel thru Son of Society...the earlier stuff sounds a dated, but classic..such as Saxon.

[mattsmusiccenter]

Sweet! I love that song.

Just heard this song on XM today. Koool!
