That first clip with the Taxing coming at you... and then it goes by on the tight. Terrifying. And then I remember its a UK video...

Ha ha Carl, you should come over to blighty one day and we'll go for a ride on the left of course to cure you of your right lane dependence!

I was living in Scarborogh, had a green and white Daytona, probably the best Triumph ive ever had and it was a hot summer. We ought to start a "where were you when ?" feature.

Spedding was also part of John Cale's band in the mid 70's. Definitely the most deranged live act I came across in the pre punk era. I was 16 at the time.

Hi Paul, good to hear from you. Didn't realise that Spedding played with Cale. I listened to the link,it reminds me a lot of The Birthday Party and Nick cave kind of stuff. I love punk but the stuff just before it that spawned it is just as fascinating..
