[@minigrande1939]

Aswome band i had the pleasure of smoking a few weed bongs in the toilet of a gig in Liverpool in 1993(planet...) They where all looking for him to go on stage Chris is hero epic

[@christo792]

Fortunately, while watching R.D.F. play live in the back gardens of a squat parties and at small venues, years ago, I appreciated that these are the good old days. That they were days of positivity with positive people. They were the good old days. There had been good old days before that time, and there have been many more after. But it was good to be there, then.

[@iggyt6326]

christo792 agreed ✊ free parties which were proper parties, organised within a few hours without mobile phones. The brew crew. Wango Riley's travelling stage. Bucket collections for fuel for the gennie. The Mob. Zounds. Painted leather jackets. Blotters. Microdots. Etc etc. Good times

[@XXSkunkWorksXX]

Yeah man. Some lovely MDMA around too - them White Doves hehe Ack, nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Something really was happening and dare I say it was getting Hot on the Wire too ... :)

[@thedarkerarts288]

I'm really missing the 90's now. Been listening to Ozric Tentacles, Senser, RDF, Back to the Planet, PAIN etc... Gonna have to finish building that time machine and head back to London again x

I was there, and at this moment I am for now, :) times don't have to pass , stay in with the time as our own and not to follow what some believe are rule of others,, only thing that's worse now is the lack of magic mushrooms in small fields(used to be small feeds big gardens)

[@dickdastardly9018]

Yeah know wot u mean I wz there the George Roby ect

[@digitalpollution]

I got into these supporting Hawkwind in the early 90's Loved em ever since

[@ebobsmith9596]

[@antonhaq3503]

Anthem. Saw them last Saturday and they were brilliant.

[@jasonwood3377]

Spoke to Chris at the bar at a gig in the Princess Charlotte around 92, don’t know what bollocks I was talking but he listened and chatted patiently, top gent.

[@wrightdavid664]

Princess Charlotte.. wasn't that a great gig whoever was playing.. Saw 'em all there 😊😊

[@slipperyfish5634]

They came back to my place to drink and get stoned, back in the mid 90s in Colchester.......those were good days. I got stoned with Marillion a few years later in a bouncy castle/dome thing a few miles away, lol

[@milarepaburgin6334]

Too many great (if slightly hazy) memories connected to this track... just awesome x

[@MrREDICAN]

Best 90S band would love to see them again

[@ameliaroberts7422]

Guilford, March 10, 2023

[@christopherwilliams1236]

Bearded Theory....if Midlands is closer. It's a small, oldies festival.

[@Spaceshiptechnician]

I saw them supporting Hawkwind here in Hull in October 1990 and again as DF118 3 or 4 years later. A very good band.

[@XXSkunkWorksXX]

Hehe DF118, love that - naming a band after Dihydrocodeine. Superb RDF. Hot on the Wire.

[@suzycreamcheese9324]

[@Brixtaan]

First heard at a squat in Stoke Newington v early 90s. It must a good record to have stayed with me all this time.

[@martinmcfred6758]

Magnolia mouldings church st

[@Brixtaan]

Not Church St, further down, Walford rd, Palatine or Brighton rds, nearer Dalston, 2 squats knocked together, massive,maybe late 80s. Surplus People playing constantly

[@subcultureuk7377]

I was at Alchemy 2013 - think may have been the singer's last gig. Was told he has shed this mortal coil. I don't even know his name but love everything about RDF. First saw them and Citizen Fish very early 1990's. RIP love

[@nogingerfool1]

the guy singing is Chris Bowsher , very much alive , I am guess your thinking of Steve Swan who died a few years back , he was an original member(singer on some songs & bass player) from the old military surplus/RDF days , RDF are still going strong and still out and about , x

[@christopherbowsher2800]

No vocalist was there in 2013 and still upright and breathing today...

[@andyball7707]

Love Chris big aura but good for a hug...

[@satindattani4623]

...and still going strong judging from the last gig, Respect bruv.

[@SazDenny]

Next RDF gig I know of is 10th May in Bethnal Green with Jah Wobble and Youth... (2019)

[@thepressuretechnique]
