Hanoi Rocks Reading Festival 1983 / Part1 of 4

[@kevinblake839]

I loved these guys and saw them several times around this time (blistering show at Surrey University in Guildford especially stands out in my memory). I had the pleasure of bumping into Sami Yaffa at Gatwick recently, what a super nice guy. He was quoted once as saying Hanoi weren't a hair band, they were a hat band, and that was certainly the case on this day!

[@brendamccormack287]

They need to be in the rock n roll hall of fame they still play under the Michael monroe band still very good look them up and listen still doing shows

[@mjh5437]

@@brendamccormack287 I think only the bass guitarist Sam Yaffa from Hanoi is in Mike`s band

[@Tolbiny]

I was at Guildford too, five days after my 19th birthday. I saw them so many times, but that was a standout gig.

[@LaepsynPaepsyn]

@@mjh5437 Correct. Andy has sadly been battling with addiction for years.

[@gbckayd]

I never thought that I would cry over a recording from about 40 years ago with Hanoi Rocks in it. (im not even 13).

[@stevekaye5536]

Thanks for posting Justin - Razzle was worshipped on The isle Of Wight where I live & that initial drumming was still cool to here. Umfortunately a month later he was dead:

[@likkidixx]

Read that Razzle book, i don't know if it's even published in english. Ari Väntänen wrote it, good read.

[@uetzayolttepilzinzamora286]

😢😢😢😢😢

[@garycraig1465]

This was one of my first Hanoi Rocks gigs. I still remember it well.30 odd years later I still love them.

My Pleasure Anna. Did you see the book i brought out last year? "Hanoi Rocks '82-'84", published by Like, in Finnish AND English. My travels with the band to India, Israel, USA and of course all over UK. Check it out!!

[@annagrazier8071]

No, i haven't seen your book.Will certainly get it.Thanks sooo much again for the footage, you've made a lot of Hanoi fans very happy!

[@justinthomas439]

Shame about the quality, but when you read Pages 239,240& 241 you will understand why !! :). I hope it puts a big smile on your face

[@annagrazier8071]

Where can I get you book Justin? Been looking but can't find it! I work in a book shop too!

[@justinthomas439]

like.fi/kirjat/hanoi-rocks-82-84/ Sorry about delay Anna. You could buy it here, or i could send you one of mine, signed by me, for €30 + postage

[@leemetcalfe5755]

Was there as an 8 yr old kid - still the best band I have seen.

[@777jonesboy]

I was rocking just stage left looking from the stage. What a great Gig !!!!

[@MoANjAmSaiNT]

I was there that day, just to the right of the sound desk. This is fabulous - thank you.

Rest in peace Razzle, I miss Ya badly every day's. Never forgotten, always deeply in heart... ♡[*]♡

[@jmedia1102]

From the year, I discovered them! Priceless footage; thanks!

[@finlaycowan3681]

I was there - hot day. A lot of the crowd hated them and it made them even better. (You can hear Monroe having a go at the crowd in part 4)... they were amazing. Saw them at the Marquee too but I preferred Reading.

[@eviedawes9014]

Why did a lot of the crowd hate them and why were they throwing bottles and garbage at them?

[@paulgurnett1629]

Me too. Had already heard them on Radio Ones 'Friday Rock Show' with Tammy Vance. Remember him? Was a really excited 16yo there for the weekend. Living in Reading in the early 80s was pretty shit for most of the year, but come the August bank holiday all bets were off and the great unwashed descended on my home town. 32 years later and living in Melbourne, I still love this band. Also saw Cherry Bombz at the Paradise Club a few years later. Tiniest stage I have ever seen!

[@thesecretmilkshakes4104]

as someone who managed in 1983 to attend five of their gigs in Finland I can say that these vids by Justin are the most accurate document of live Hanoi Rocks anywhere

[@papapoodo6685]

This is gold, thank you!! '83...the beginning or the end for great music like this....sad...but what fucking memories!

[@justinthomas439]

Hi Papapoo Do. You should also check out the book i wrote about my memories of those happy days. It came out August last year, imaginatively titled "Hanoi Rocks 82'-'84" and published by "Like" in Finland, with Finnish and English text.

[@papapoodo6685]

I definitely will sir, thank you!! I was 13 in '83 and got to see many great bands live,....unfortunately Hanoi wasn't one of them...Thank God for captured history like this...It means a lot...

[@gabrielrearte3050]

This is BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!

[@MarkusSalke]

Brilliant! Thanx a lot! Hanoi Rocks

[@EricHunter]

AMAZING. Never would I have imagined this existed. Thank you!

[@freakingfreakify]

Fukkin Hanoi Rocks - the best band ever! Keep 'em coming man!

[@freakingfreakify]

Clakkic stuff!

[@MissDafne92]

Razzle baby so full of life 🥺😭💔

[@janispetku4450]

This group was brilliant. So sad that Razzle died.

[@dirkdierking7167]

I was waiting to see Hanoi Rocks at the Palace in Hollywood. My heart broke the moment I heard of Razzle's death a few days before the show. That was a rough December. Still heart broken.

[@777jonesboy]

OOOh I remember this like it was yesterday. It was the first time I saw them.

[@Ghostwriter78]

YES!!!!!!! Thank you! This is a gem!!!!!!

[@CrueLoaf]

love Razzle singing The Who right at the beginning!:)

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

A homage to thunders, with the ventures original pipeline, thunders made me love that music more than i thought possible

[@VeraRabbit]

One could criticise the guy who's filming - but at least he's filming!

[@aivopark]

He did good.

[@orientalbeat9457]

Love this footage of that time so much. R.I.P. Razzle.

[@tuomoeloranta5240]

[@bowieblondie]

best band ever!

[@SuperSmoky2009]

Yeah never feel so happy in my life.Oh it's great gig of the HANOI ROCKS in the out door and quite good guitar play and action of the Nasty People, I'm so much fun. even so this Nasty People's Rock'n roll look is pretty good and the reaction of the audience is also wonderful. so was like a people get so over reaction and really violent in the venue.

[@timsheridan4828]

Amazing! Please post 2 and 3!!

[@InstoreNetwork]

[@tuomoeloranta5240]

"Nevertheless, I am glad I did (shoot the video) because despite the quality , it shows the force of the band who'd recently woken up with their cocaine cornflakes."

[@michaelcox3891]

To Me This Is The Beatles in High Def! Gives me chills! Thank You

[@nunyabisniss1179]

Tähän ei voi kuitata muuta kuin että "me ollaan hyvä bändi jengii ottaa päähän se et me ollaan hyvä bändi tiedätsä et sä voi sillain kieltää tosiasioita niinku toi juttu et me ollaan hyvä bändi." A.McCoy Ruisrockin yhteydessä 83.

[@likkidixx]

Always a nice entry song. The whole band knows you're recorded, you have to blow off everybody else.

[@frankwhite2230]

What a great live band they were, they sound like they were eating out of a dumpster, just like GNR and Aerosmith did early on, as rock n roll should.

[@axxellein]

TRES Cool
