Classic Rock Sequence

Another chance to enjoy The Whistle Test Years (Parts 3 & 4). Bob Harris chronicles The Old Grey Whistle Test story, from its small-scale beginnings in 1971. The documentary was first broadcast in 2001 to mark the television show's 30th anniversary. This is followed by an hour of classic rock concerts and BBC 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 BBC session tracks come from Saxon (25/04/1982), Argent (07/03/1973), Thin Lizzy (05/02/1974) and Ten Years After (13/12/1968).
