Stockton's Wing Live was what it was all about.
The music, the fans and high energy. I remember the magic of that
special interaction between the band and the fans. We had a big
sound, dynamic, somewhat eclectic, many mood swings coloured with
state of the art lighting, the odd pyrotechnic and a few crazy and
often badly executed dance routines. A Wing gig was all about fun
and good music. We spent many long hours at Litton Lane Studios
in Dublin writing and arranging the music to create that Wing sound
which was so distinct. Our studio sessions produced the hits and
some great tunes but we never did catch the true essence of the
live performance until the release of this album in '85. It is my
pleasure to welcome this re issue on CD. I am often asked to remember
the best gig. Such a difficult question. Wherever I go these days
I meet people who remember a good Stockton's Wing gig. We all have
our favourite gig and mine just happened to last for 14 years. Enjoy
the show.
