December 1978, I was 14 years old and I remember taking several buses from the Westside of San Antonio to the Sound Warehouse on South Military Drive to buy this album, they had it in the front of the store with most of the recently released LP's, I remember also buying AC/DC's first Live album, If You Want Blood You Got during that shopping trip and then I had to get my ass back on the bus back home because I was going to see Triumph that night at the Municipal Auditorium that night!!

I was fortunate to have a recorder going one night when this song came on a local FM station back when the album had just come out. I remember thing, "WOW!!!" The intro may go on for 6 hours. Well it didn't but I was blown away by the intensity and moods. It has without a doubt some of the best guitar playing ever. I learned the song title from the recording and later bought it. It's a Riot is the perfect following song. It completes it. Both songs were played together as they should be. If you buy them on Amazon or other vendors, they are separated and it loses the fun!

He broke many artists: Judas Priest, The Scorpions, Rush, Budgie, Moxy, Riot, Axe, Def Leppard, Triumph, Helix, Accept, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Metallica. When the KMAC/KISS owner Howard G. Davis died in August '80 KISS went corporate and has remained so ever since. Sister station KMAC went off the air shortly thereafter.
