Reading Festival Program – Reading 1982
How bad is the design of the Reading ’82 program? Good lord. With four or five exceptions, the lineup wasn’t much better than the cover. Budgie were horrid. I’ve always loved them but they made two mistakes (a). not playing any ‘70’s material (it was only ’82 for god’s sake) and (b). coming on stage while a huge smoking replica of a Flying V descended in a Spinal Tap-esque kind of way.
