Another chance to enjoy The Whistle Test Years (Parts 3 & 4).

This is followed by an hour of classic rock concerts and 麻豆社 sessions. To kick things off, Bruce Dickinson introduces UFO recorded in concert at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1982. Tracks taken from their biggest selling album Mechanix include We Belong To The Night and Let It Rain.

The 麻豆社 session tracks come from Saxon (25/04/1982), Argent (07/03/1973), Thin Lizzy (05/02/1974) and Ten Years After (13/12/1968).
