Saw them again without him circa 1981 in Nottingham and I was left cold; not the same without him. Bit like when Dio replaced Ozzy in Black Sabbath the first time. I left their concert half way through as I couldn't stand it. Now if Tony came out of retirement and could do the job I know I would be up for an original line-up tour!

Guts ripped through the speakers 2 minutes later and that was it, I was hooked. Many many pleasurable hours of musical bliss over more years than i care to admit too. Budgie have always done it for me, Especially the first four riff laden albums. It took till 2005 and 06 too actually get to see them, Burke , Simon and Steve gave me one of my best musical appreciating nights of my life and a long ambition fulfilled. Sadly Simon left the band shortly afterwards, All i can hope for is another reformation and an English tour but hey, If it doesnt happen, At least i got my memories of those two great nights. Thankyou Burke and Co for some real rock. Mick.

I am currently a freshman in college, and I would definitely have to rank Budgie as my second favorite band, right behind the holy triumvirate: Rush. I've driven so many of my less rock-inclined friends (a.k.a. idiots) out of my dorm room by blasting obscure Budgie songs that I've lost count. I really hope I get the chance to see them perform live someday. I just want to say that great music such as Budgie’s isn’t completely lost on today’s generation.

I found it on ebay with no sound track, and with help from Ray Phillips getting the sound rein(stated it's there for all to enjoy. Ray loved it. He had never seen the footage until I sent him the silent video. Budgie management were not interested when I offered them the film @2002. Funny how it got included on the remaster of NTYBOAF once Ray and myself had done all the hard work.... Tezza Glad you like the Breadfan clip.
