Seeing your location, you might remember Dagenham Roundhouse where I first heard the Hogs?
 
Split is excellent and Cherry Red was a kick-ass encore - amps up to 11, etc.
It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

I was a bit of a Hogs fanboy back in the Seventies and still have everything up to Hogwash.
 
They were brilliant live, too.
 
Dunno exactly who makes these decisions, but Clap to whoever.
 
Nice to see Thank Christ For The Bomb on And Now What Are You Listening To today. Think I'll play 1969-72 Best Of on the way to town today.

They had been actually suggested for addition to the Heavy Prog team, but we thought that they didn't fit our sub 100%. However, we also thought they would be an excellent addition to the Prog-Related category, and we are very happy the Admin Team gave their approval immediately.
