  In February 1983, during the performance at the Zeche Club in Bochum, Germany, Atomic Rooster was experiencing a revival. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album "Headline News" in 1983, which featured a more modern sound compared to their earlier works. This period marked the band's efforts to re-establish their presence after facing numerous lineup changes and a subsequent decline in popularity. Vincent Crane, the driving force behind the band, showcased his skills on the Hammond C-3 organ and lead vocals, supported by guitarist Bernie Torme and drummer Paul Hammond. An interesting aspect of this live performance is Crane's ability to blend heavy rock with progressive elements, a signature of Atomic Rooster’s style. This dynamic career phase highlighted their resilience in the evolving music landscape of the early 1980s.
