Friday Rock Show com Ian Gillan

Curiosa edição do programa Friday Rock Show (FRS) pois é apresentada por Ian Gillan que faz o trabalho habitualmemte desempenhado por Tommy Vance (o célebre TV on the radio estava de férias) na BBC Radio 1. Gillan é a certa altura coadjuvado aos microfones por Roger Glover já que os Deep Purple se encontravam em sessões para a gravação do disco The House of Blue Light.
Vance foi o principal apresentador deste famoso programa de Hard Rock e Heavy Metal da Grã Bretanha durante cerca de 15 anos, desde 17 de novembro de 1978 até 2 de abril de 1993.
Aqui partilhada temos uma gravação com aproximadamente 90 minutos, sendo que o programa durava duas horas, obtida na página Wiki do FRS que se pode consultar aqui.
