Tommy Vance - Friday Rock Show Intro -198?

God this takes me back!
Every Friday night, sat there ready to press record and play on the tape deck.
Magical!
I was about 12/13 when I started listening-1980'ish
I remember a 'Christmas Special' he did when AC/DC released For Those About To Rock. I think they were in the Bahamas and Tommy went to a release party with all the band. A full 2 hours of interviews from a very merry band. It was the first time I'd heard Malcolm and Angus speak and remember thinking they only sound about 15 years old.
Great man Tommy though, a major part in my Heavy Rock indoctrination!
I had the whole show on a C120 BASF cassette, but I can find the bloody thing now...!!!
God bless you Tommy.
And... There's a great Facebook group set up with links to complete shows, well worth checking out

[@kevinhowardsalt]

F**k me, I've just been instantly transported to my bedroom 1984 when I began listening every friday night, probably alongside reading the fortnightly kerrang and sewing patches onto my denim cut off. Thanks for sharing!

[@alanjordan6176]

Kevin, couldn't agree with you more fella, I was thinking just the same, why do we have to get old?

[@fastra3621]

Sewing patches on - LOL. What about actual embroidery then - I got it down to a fine art by the time I was 15.

[@TotalRockOnline]

Hi Guys. This is Tony Wilson... producer of the aforesaid Friday Rock Show. :) Did you know that there are some FB groups dedicated to Tommy and the FRS? Also I'd like to let you know that we run a monthly gig at the Hope & Anchor in north London. I've called it The Friday Rock Show and it's dedicated to TV. We book 3 up and coming bands each month and stream it live on our YT channel. Spread the word!!

[@fastra3621]

Wow, the infamous Mr. Wilson named at the end of every show. Thanks for the info, I'm in Manchester so London is a bit far out for me but hopefully many others read this and get down there to keep the 'Vance', spirit going.

[@michaelstephen819]

TotalRock Radio Thanks for this - I'm in the Midlands, but will definately make the pilgrimage!

[@alanrochford5425]

hi tony,i live in ireland and remember listening to the frs when i was 14,15,16 and so on, use to pick it up on medium wave and the signal wasn't great,i walked around my bedroom for hours and sticking radio out the window to get a decent signal i did the same on Saturday with john peel rock show too, it was worth all the hassle, them were the good old days

[@fastra3621]

+Alan Rochford brilliant! But it's perseverance like this that truly helped develop a love of, and dedication to, rock music. Kids today come by things too easy and thus simply don't have as much love for it.

[@HairyBosch]

+TotalRock Radio I live in Manchester and so can't come to your gigs, nor do I do Facebook so I can't spread the word but I promise you that I will sit here in my living room and once a month (if you let me know which day your TV night is) and I shall rock out and tell my neighbours about how they should embrace Rock and chill the fuck out. RIP TV.

had the pleasure of sharing a couple of pints backstage with him at Cumbria rock Festival back in 91 (neither of us wanted to watch Marillion). Absolute legend and real gent who loved what he did. RIP Tommy

[@blazingsaddle166]

My god, I used to listen to this religiously every Friday night for at least 3-4 years, something like that during my teenage years. So many awesome bands I was introduced to during this time, particularly RUSH, who were relatively unknown at the time and kinda niche. Rush have called it a day now and retired and listening to this intro and knowing that, just makes me feel really old. Great times and a lot of fantastic memories from Tommy Vance. What an absolute legend.

[@grahamkey8496]

I was hanging listening to this clip, waiting for the "Rush" mention, just like I used to back in the day!

[@thehanterman1]

pretty much sums up the 1980s for me. brilliant show RIP TOM

[@Tubthumper247]

Wow.... It's 1982 and I'm 17 again!!! Sitting in front of my hi-fi speakers with my portable cassette player at the ready and fingers paused on play/record. The very first show I heard was when it opened with "Doctor Doctor" by MSG (the live version). As that track faded out, "No One Like You" by The Scorpions faded in. Absolute quality!!!! Thanks for sharing, fastra... this is what memories are made of!!!!!

@@mustangj0hn Yes, probably as part of the annual Friday Rock Show Top 10 - only ten because the regularly voted for tracks tended to be on the long side (Child in Time, the full live version of Free Bird, Shine On You Crazy Diamond..). Memo to the BBC - can we please have more shows like this, or at least presented by people who love music, rather than recruiting from the TV presenters' pool? Either that, or rebroadcast some of the great shows of old.

I used to look forward to this program so much. 40 years ago now. Oh God, where have those years gone? I'm 56 now. It's like going to sleep a young man and waking up in a nightmare suddenly so much older. Still identify with the music and thoughts of those years so much. Very lucky to be around then with so many great rock bands around too.

[@andrewcole4511]

I still go to gigs, festivals and listen to metal and rock, even at nearly 57. I can rock as well and for longer than most kids can. While theres musicians older than me still playing, theres no way im ever gonna grow old gracefully 😁😂🤘✊

This was my Friday night routine in the early 80's when I was hugely into Heavy Metal. Tommy Vance was a brilliant DJ.

[@fettessawmill]

Cheers man for this, great to hear TV on the radio again

[@RushfanUK]

God that does take me back, reminds me as well of Alan Freeman who had a Saturday afternoon rock show from 73 thru to 78, that was were I first heard Rush amongst many others, we also had a local radio rock show in the North East on Metro Radio, without these guys back then we would never have got to hear half the music that we grew up with and loved.

[@MartinandFreddie]

T.V. is the reason I am still a rock fan. Accidently (sorry!!) tuned in one Friday night and he played 'Master of Puppets' and "Hook in Mouth' back to back, Next day I had both albums (on cassette) in the car and all thoughts of the New Romantics had been blasted to oblivion. Thanks to Saint Tommy of Rock .

One of my best memories from UK 88,89 and 90!

[@laurencegoodwin4047]

To say this guy and show is missed is a massive understatement, happy happy exciting days in a golden age for rock and metal music

[@simonhunter3430]

I used to go to a rock club on a Friday night. DJ got hold of the intro music played during the intro on the show, and used to play it to kick the night off. I thought that was kinda cool! :)

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

The intro music is 'Take It From The Top' by the Dixie Dregs, fronted by now-Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse!

[@CS-mo7xp]

thanks,never knew what that was from

[@mrbelcherful]

maniq minah Also my friend the bluesbreakers the stumble and stepping out featuring peter green and Eric Clapton respectively and spider talking bout rock n roll were just a few jingles played on the show.The Dixie dregs take it off the top is a classic track too!!

[@CS-mo7xp]

mrbelcherful hmm, just checked out those 3 tracks and they're not ringing a bell for me. I only started listening to the Friday rock show in about 1988/89, maybe they were used earlier? interesting to know anyway, cheers

[@johnbruford3267]

Spider: "Get down, get out on the floor, when the band starts playing you can boogie some more, that's right, talking about Tommy Vance!".

[@dingdong6069]

Wow! Blast from the past! BBC Radio 1 at 10pm to midnight each evening - John Peel Mondays to Thursdays and Tommy Vance on Fridays - gave me my gargantuan knowledge and love of music. I loved Peely (especially his Peel Sessions) but nothing could beat the Friday Rock Show's Sessions and Lie Back And Enjoy It listeners' choices! Soundtrack of my youth. Literally!

[@fastra3621]

Nail on the head right there, other than Kerrang or Sounds there wasn't really any other way of getting any info, so TV was our weekly fix of ROCK! Somehow the internet has spoilt all that, it's removed the 'mystique' in some respects.

[@dingdong6069]

@@fastra3621 It has! Because we have everything available at the touch of a button then its almost throwaway these days. The Fri Rock Show was literally unmissable as you never wanted the miss this golden nuggets you simply could not get anywhere else other than the odd song on TOTP's or Whistle Test. To be a rock/metal fan you had to "work" at it! You right about Kerrang and Sounds too. I still refuse to read the pretensious twaddle spouted in the NME to this day for being anti-metal lol. Although its sad Kerrang has turned into a pop metal Smash Hits. Mind you... wouldn't get away with Reader Killerz and Pandora Peroxide in today's pitiful snowflake riddled world!

[@garyunsworth726]

This brings back so many memories of my brother and me listening to The Friday Rock Show, we used to record the tracks we liked and the live shows Tommy used to air by the likes of Saxon Rush etc also interviews too. I wish those times were back today, Radio 1 is pure dogshit now it's so sad :( God bless u TV and the old days I will never forget u mate : )

I got my introduction to Dire Straites, Stanley Clarke, Jeff Beck, Return to Forever and Holdsworth through this show. I wish I had all the cassettes I made and albums I went out and bought as a result. Ihad some amazing interviews as well. There's never been a radio show before or since!

[@roborb1960]

Great show..... I've got loads of recordings from the late 80's onwards. I always used a C90 cassette on a timer to record and then head off to the pub... Then make my own compilations from it. Discovered so many bands this way and then buy from 'Shades records' in London town. If they could get it, they would import it. The imports were a great price because invariably it hadn't charted or no UK interest / label / distributor, most recordings including postage were less than ten quid.

[@ericjumpelfeaturingjohnnyj4135]

This is awesome stuff! I'm from the states and a huge fan of the Dixie Dregs. That's how I learned of Tommy Vance--from his theme song, Take It Off The Top. :-D I've since listened to a couple Vance shows or segments of, on KZbin. Very cool stuff, indeed! Wish I could have had access to it back in the day. Wish more of them would pop up here!

Thanks for posting, really takes me back. I was 16 when I started listening to Tommy on Friday nights and he nurtured a deep and lasting interest in heavy and progressive rock. Best show for me was when he previewed the whole of "The Wall" just before the release I think, and he was interviewing Roger Waters between tracks if I remember right. Went straight out and bought it as soon as I could. RIP Tommy, sad loss.

[@1967chipsy]

... plus Rainbox, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Rush and Whitesnake. This was what Friday evening was all about.... sadly missed.

[@johnsweeney8157]

Ive iisten to this dj. During the 80s the Friday rock show i have all his most music on cassettes its still goin good

[@johnbruford3267]

1981-83. We were 16-18 years old. Every Friday night, we'd all listen to TV on the Radio, separately. One of us would tape it on old-fashioned cassette tapes. The following Saturday, we'd gather together and play the tapes through, and critically analyse and discuss the whole lot. I doubt any of my then friends listen to rock/metal these days, but I still do. Rock on, Tommy! And his best jingle was Rose Tattoo - "TV, play that rock 'n roll, TV, listen to the radio, TV, play that rock 'n roll!"

[@alm5966]

This takes me right back to the mid 80s. I'd just discovered Rainbow and the band that changed my life, Rush. If you lived in Merseyside then it was the late great Phil Easton on City from 6 til 10 then Tommy til midnight. Fantastic time to be a teenager.

[@clinteldorado]

I was sadly too young to be a listener of Tommy’s show but I used to see him on telly every so often and get very confused, because he looked exactly like my headmaster.

[@fastra3621]

Good stuff. I look back at it all now as a crucial part of my rock and roll education. I bought loads of albums on the next Saturday after hearing a track on Tommys show.

[@markorollo.]

reading your description i was like yep, me too, lol, except for me it was about 1986-87 when it started,12-13 years old, sitting in my bedroom next to the hifi with my headphones on, I discovered things like Donington Monsters Of Rock Festival thanks to Tommy and the Friday Rock Show, i think i recorded donington once. MMMMMMMMEEEEEEEMMMMOOORRRIIIIEEESSS!!!!

[@michaelstephen819]

This would have come from the later 1980's as it was put out on FM as well. I can remember Tommy celebrating the FM quality when he started to play CD rather than vinyl - his enthusiasm for this was almost as great as for the music itself! I used to listen on MW in Northern Ireland, and the quality was not great - fading and AM noise - ah, those were the days!

[@fastra3621]

Really? Not too sure about later 80's, as mentioned in the info he was definitely on FM for the release of For those about to rock, and that was 81.

[@JulianHorsebox]

fastra Radio 1 was on VHF (FM for the younger pups out there) almost from its inception in 1967 when R2 was shovelled off to MW for a couple of hours every weekday night and on Saturday afternoons - look up the Saturday Rock Show with good old Fuff, from 1973-78 as an example of how to use VHF to the full. John Peel had use of the stereo network from 10 to midnight through the 70s & 80s, TV and his majestic Friday Rock Show had it on Friday nights, and it was that way from when the show started in errr.. 1978 all the way to when it ended and when R1 had its own FM platform 97-99. I have a distinct recollection of being 16 round my mate's house waiting for the R2 Sports Desk on R2 VHF to finish,to record the 1st Birthday prog on R1 VHF and giving up as the pips started, only to realise when he said - 'oh - is it where John peel is?'. R1 was on VHF for years before it had its own FM band. TV was special.

[@michaelstephen819]

Not in Northern Ireland it wasn't!

[@anthonyperkins7556]

Radio 1 tended to borrow Radio 2's FM stereo frequencies 88-91 Mhz FM nightly from 10pm-12midnight for John Peel and Friday Rock Show and on Saturdays from 1pm-7.30pm and on Sundays from 5pm to 12midnight.

[@paulputnam8211]

@@JulianHorsebox In fact Radio One was on 1214kHz from it's inception in '67 but in the early days some programmes were shared with Radio Two which was on VHF & LW. (Jimmy Young, Open House etc). However it wasn't until the late '80s that Radio One was duly available on FM, having continued to 'borrow' the Radio Two FM network at certain times, Saturday afternoon, Sunday tea time & late evenings for example. The stations former AM frequencies were re allocated to commercial radio eventually. (Virgin/Talksport etc)
