As I said before, The group Riot came from New York, not California.

[@laurenzgraffilpenstein8117]

Riot.. Amazing heavy forerunners from the 70s and 80s.. And true Purple / Blackmore fans.. Great to show a cover of Burn..

saw Riot in Corpus Christi, TX with Saxon in 82. It was flat out kick ass.

[@reneotten2288]

Those were the days. Huge Riot and Saxon fan here, saw Saxon in Amsterdam in the early 80s.

[@raulvelez2503]

Saxon freq sa tx.....!

Raul Velez Still do! Well....until the corona.

[@mrtv777]

Yup. I couldn’t believe it. What a show at the Ritz!

[@seatstitcher3636]

I saw this exact show also. I was at the scorpions / Iron Maiden show for the blackout tour in Houston about 2 weeks earlier, where my cousin found a ticket somebody lost. She gave it to me. First concert I ever attended alone.

[@markstoneman1585]

Riot live on

AWESOME FOOTAGE...R.I.P. MARK!

[@vipinravindran6977]

legend

[@kaosmonger73]

Have been listening to Riot since the Narita days,that's when I discovered them. All the way into Privilege of Power, after that didn't get into the newer stuff that much. What I can say is that Riot was always a little step ahead of what others were doing and I know Mark is in rock n roll heaven. I miss him and his music. Peace!

[@foamrob6577]

kaosmonger73 Same exact for me. Narita up to Privilege of Power

[@jeremycruzgarza]

Dio Rules mike dimeo wrote some great songs with them as well! Check out inishmore and sons of society

[@GuitarWithDofka]

Never saw this. Thanks for posting.

[@demuredemented]

Love Mark Reale. I met him once, very lucky.

[@auggierobledo941]

thanks for sharing!

[@guillotinedeath]

a fucken legend!

[@jamesbone105]

Is there a full interview of this?? I remember hearing about Riot in February 1979. My buddy had the album Narita we used to play it in his car. Good memories.

[@PhotogV]

most all the video is loaded on youtude, I loaded the last half of thundersteel on another clip, Check it out!

[@tjsquishface138]

As a dude from San Antonio, I can confirm that San Antonio fucking loves Riot!

RIP Mark, you are missed. And that was a sweet wig.

[@394pjo]

sadly missed.

[@timothyedward361]

the transition to Forrester saw a completely different sound emerge in one year. if you didn't care for Forrester, and I didn't, it was over before it truly got it's chance to shine and be recognized.

[@rbagel55]

Guy was a better singer, But Rhett wasn't too bad. I didn't care for anything after that though

[@ClassicGuitarRockJFL]

@Greg Gentile Born in America is ok... but I definitely prefer the stuff with Guy. Fire Down Under is one of my all time favorites...

[@emersonribeiro315]

Guy Speranza era sim grande vocal.🎤🎶🎼🎵🎸

[@toneyisaiah408]

Unless you're talking about Quite Riot.

[@spastic1219]

where did he get all the hair?

[@mikebrown-pl7oi]

I was Wondering the same Thing.....

[@willievega2431]

big Man it's not about hair???? if you weren't a fan or were around the time these guys contributed to music !! oh that's it !!! it's bout the best heavy rock music you will ever hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheOneAboveAll]

Sadly, hair had alot to do with it back in the 80s. There were a few that said the heck with it and just shaved their heads - Rob Halford and Wolf Hoffman from Accept for example. They weren't glam though. Riot in the late 80s went Glam.

[@blakesoutherlandLasVegas]

he bought a wig and wore one later in his career

[@gtamaniak2145]

No. Riot werr still releasing awsome speed metal songs in the 90s with Dimeo but focused more on mid-paced heavy metal tracks with some original power metal melodies.

[@eltel22]

Loved the first 3 albums. They lost it after Guy Speranza left.

[@ClassicGuitarRockJFL]

agreed...

[@ankihansen2489]

Born in America and Thundersteel say fuck you!

[@eltel22]

where can i score a copy of this rehearsal?

🤔

[@dmitryowens]

Mark was a great guitarist and songwriter, but that toupee/wig is so lame. He was going bald in his 20's - he should've just shaved his head.

[@Love6653]

Martha Reale the Transgender Me Thinks

[@artmv1149]

Meh

[@rushshukla4636]

He was a great guitarist and songwriter but man those wigs are so freaking lame. Gene Simmons, MAB, YJM, JLT etc WTF is it with these people? If you're going bald just shave it off. Nature didn't intend all men to have a head of hair. You are metal in your heart!

[@hellwarznewz]

people say under rated not appreciated ... sorry but RIOT here in CANADA was HUGE ... and a big influence on me for sure ...as big as MAIDEN ... PRIEST ... SAXON ... MOTORHEAD.... RIOT will always be a part of the big original metal bands too me

[@PhotogV]

Absolutely! Great music for sure!
