Hey Maggie

House work should be done while listening to the CD. Gives you the energy to get things done. If this doesn't work then there is no hope for you, therefore get a cleaner in !!!

Am on my 14th listen of the CD since receiving it at 6pm on Thursday evening.

Need to order another copy for the car !

Am soooooooooooooo happy with it !

Did I mention that I love it ?!

Zippy loves ATF

Absolutely fabulous CD! I never heard the 1979 concert before, but LOVED the other two and wore out my cassette bootlegs years ago. What strikes me from hearing this CD is how much the band developed over the time from the first show to the last..you can hear the changing sound (the increasing importance of the lead guitar particularly) and the impact of all those gigs on an already very tight band amking them even tighter...

This is a great CD that brings back so many memories of a simpler time... many thanks guys!!!!!!!!

Is there any members in this group who can claim to have been chanting ATF at these gigs?

I was at the nottingham one and remember the chanting but was being very quiet as I was only just 16 and therefore under age for the gig and didn't want to draw attention to me.

Got my copy this afternoon, and am currently playing through at high volume for the nth time. It just takes me higher! Was playing the remixed Starflight on the way to work last night with the windows open and volume to the max - this cd has all that energy - and it finishes with a brilliant version of - Starflight! I know, I'm rambling; I'm going to sing along and dance round the room now while moving my fingers in a vain attempt to "air-synth" Mr Bank's solos...

Hey Radiant, you ramble all you like, you are not alone, I have done quite a few circuits of the kitchen. Lost track of how many times I have played it, in the car, at work, at home. Still on now, Billy Billy currently playing.

Lots of ATF fans excited about this CD.

Dominion, only got to chant ' ATF' at the Dominion (have I confused you!) in Tottenham Court Road. Was the only show I got to finally go to, and their last.

Found a photo of me the other day standing in front of the ATF poster from that show that I had on my bedroom wall at the time ('82).

Still love the CD, still playing the CD, Zippy still loves ATF.

Absolutely fantastic! Love it, love it , love it.

Had some previous unofficial recordings but this means I can throw all the old stuff away and listen with pleasure. Great quality. Memories flood back. The atmosphere & scent of those gigs are right with me again.

A wonderful cd. Ipod/Car/PC - lovely!

Am I happy about this cd? Thank you Peter & the band members involved!

Got my copies this past week and after the first listen, I was totally
surprised as to how good the audio was. Sounds even better when
turned up, lol. I also noticed the addition of "Suspended Animation" on
the 1979 concert which was not originally broadcast (as confirmed by
"Spider" earlier in this thread).

This CD captures the true ATF, full of energy and excitement and you
can hear how the band grew from year to year. Even though I've had all
the concerts on tape for years and I've listened to them over and over,
this CD is refreshing. It's like I'm listening to these songs the very first
time!

Thank you for a wonderful CD and booklet. Pete King was the backbone
of ATF. I remember I read that on one of the tours, he had to fill in for
ELO's drummer on less than 24 hours notice, and he pulled it off.
That's how Pete was, he didn't have to rehearse, he was that good!

Now we await the infamous Rainbow concert...
