Really like these live performances despite the fact we're into my least favourite musical decade!. Did the 'Race Game' ever appear on a Steve Harley album or single?? A question for Stewart perhaps.

Some set list on that Rock City show,also played live were I Can Be Anyone and I Can't Even Touch You before they were released as an A and B side in early 1982,let's hope there's more to come...
The Race Game has never been released on an album or single.In 1983 Steve told The Racing Post that " He has a new song called The Race Game,which will appear on a new album due early next year.the song is about The Brixton Riots,using racing imagery to make it's point". He also told The Racing Post "That he wants to produce a TV Series called The Race Game" and "There will be 5 or 6 episodes each concentrating on one aspect of the business"
Was The Race Game ever recorded? A question for Mr Harley perhaps..

I recognise the photos used for these songs. They were taken by Neil Reedy, and the rest of the set are on my site. It's a real treasure listening to this 80's stuff. Roualt, whoever he/she may be, has a fantastic collection for sure.

Heaven - I have waited so long to hear 'the race game' again; it would be great to see it performed again someday.

Any other tracks from that Rock City gig would be fantastic.

PS - hi PeterJH, where can I find your website?

Thanks for the info Stewart. Always wondered what the lyric "don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes" was all about. Hopefully Roualt will post some more from that particular concert.Sound quality seems quite good.
