What gets me most looking back at this from my 50s, is how polite all the interviewees are. They all so well spoken, on their best behaviour and being so modest, true ambassadors for rock and metal.
Couldn't go to these in those days but now having flashbacks of sitting in my room with headphones on listening to the full day. This was literally a couple of weeks before I started college, best time I ever had, great days, and stuff like this was my soundtrack to it. And between leaving school and starting college I was in hospital for two months, that was quite a year lol
Great band. If you mean you wish you had a copy of the gig, it's on the 2nd CD with their Powertrippin album (not the 2021 deluxe reissue, just out, that has other good stuff on it - check out earlier version).
Remember this day like it was yesterday, 92 fuck sake . Was a great day very wet on and off , and Remember getting clouted on the head by a flying bottle of funny looking yellowish liquid , convinced myself it was apple juice . Loved it though .
I saw them plenty of times, Marquee, Town and Country Club and saw them lean their craft on the small circuit supporting Crazyhead, Fields of the Nephilim. Halcyon days. The last I saw them was at this gig at Donnington hitting their peak.
It’s a legendary performance at this stage. Awesome. I remember watching it on MTV as the footage rolled in, savage stuff. I read years after in an interview with Ricky Warwick that after Donington and their rise they toured America playing small venue’s opening for a Metallica Tribute 🤷♂️
yeah there is actually an argument for having it condensed into a one-dayer again. There is so much shit at Download these days, I reckon a lot of people would prefer no camping, in-and-out, and see massive bands just in one day. There's enough camping fests out there already, Bloodstock, Reading etc
Now my boy....Those were the days!!🤘🤗✌Fk...Feel old...I woz there! Nostalgia@itsbest.👍Still got "Soul Destruction" album cover painted on my leather !Oh yeah and back in the day when Tattoos were statements 🤔
Ricky told in the interview that they played a week before in Mannheim and i saw them there. What a awesome gig they played. It was a great opener for Super Rock Mannheim.
Me and The Almighty were as you say, brilliant! My son & I saw Ricky and Co play at the Forum in Kentish Town 2 days ago. They are still as loud, tight and totally awesome as ever. Where did those 31 years go? Feel truly blessed to have now seen The Almighty with my son.
@@seagullpoet First three albums were great. Powertrippin' is dynamite. Didn't think much of the production on the first album though. Sounded nasaly and thin to me, but the songs were great.
Before the shit music started hitting the festival, everything changed like grunge crap started, kerrang magazine forgot about the hair bands, download started to split stages, Donnington monsters of rock was the ultimate festival, now it's just noise
Wow how great it was back in the day watching/ dancing/moshing to a band without a mobile phone in sight
Can't wait for their reunion gigs in a few weeks time!
What A Day to Remember and I've still got the t- shirt and it's still fits🤘🤘🤘
i was there (apparantly), what a great time to be alive...................rock on brothers & sisters 🤟
I remember being there, think it was such a great line up that year.

Great Rock and Roll band here. Sold their soul to Grunge directly after this though.
Yes

Hands up who were there? Me! I was probably standing at the back, around the racetrack barrier. Tacking in the awesomeness!
Wow the Almighty can rock fuck they sound awesome live WOW love it 👍🫶🤘
Well "Stump Munroe" certainly lives up to the name!
2:04 cutie pie !
Best Scottish band of all time !!
That debut release was absolutely superb. The sound. Production. Vibe.
Too bad they went downhill....Ricky went into Country and Western ?
@@seagullpoet First three albums were great. Powertrippin' is dynamite. Didn't think much of the production on the first album though. Sounded nasaly and thin to me, but the songs were great.
Cool ! That’ll be my next CD purchase - for Summer cruisin’ 🇺🇸

Powertrippin (3rd album) and Crank (4th album) are both great.

Roll The Dice - Wild Boyz
Does anyone know the name of the song at the beginning of the video, not Free'N'Easy but the intro song before that.
Roll The Dice - Wildboyz
@@patavium7646 thank you!
It's only taken me 31 years to find that out, lol.
all fuckin almighty class
Before the shit music started hitting the festival, everything changed like grunge crap started, kerrang magazine forgot about the hair bands, download started to split stages, Donnington monsters of rock was the ultimate festival, now it's just noise
They had the same vibe as the Wildhearts back in the day....
Good call, even The Wildhearts crossed with The Cult, all 3 are kick ass bands! 🤘
Headbangers Balls
1:55

Free and Easy
@@PaddyLaPoint sorry bro i mean 0:00 song's name
shout at the devil cover
@@paulmoon2670 who plays?
Roll The Dice - Wild Boyz
what ever happened to vanessa warwick ?
Left journalism and got in the property game the last I heard. That was 20 odd years ago though.
@@Hallionuk wow, thats diffeerent
The best band from that Donnigton edition
Wasp was my fave back then, but The Almighty, Thunder and Skid Row was a top line up for me.
2:03 :D
Slayer blew every band of the stage
oh look, vanessa's hubby
nroks lucky girl xxxx
She was then, not now.
@@Rockchicbitch lucky guy
That band fizzled out fast!This whole vid was dedicated to them?
Goes to show what connections & money will do for you...
What? The Almighty were active for nearly ten years and were very popular in their day.
And he's kicking ass with Black Star Riders and Lizzy now while you're sat on your ass getting fat xx
@@Syklonus They were heavily pushed in the "Alternative era" which was about 1991 - 1996, after that nobody really gave a fuck about them.
Loved the Almighty was at every tour from 89 to Crank tour then lost touch Went to this just for The Almighty everybody else a fuckin bonus.
@@Easun36 Oh wow, then 30 years ago I must have hallucinated everything.
The almighty fae strathaven yeargh
As good as GnR
Kinda like... a slightly shitter version of the Wildhearts...... Hmmmm.....
They sound more like Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction.
Lame in the 90s, lame today.
Great live band mate fuckin great shows they put on
Don't talk daft, mint band... 🤘🤣🤣
