The Friday Night Rock Show Sessions / Live at Reading is a live album by British
heavy metal band
Diamond Head, released in 1992 as part of an official series of similar, radio-archive releases by several bands released with
Raw Fruit Records. The Reading Festival performance was later included as part of a selection of bonus live tracks on The MCA Years, while the entire album was included on the compilation Live at the BBC.
Tracks 3 - 8 recorded at
Reading Rock Festival, Reading, England on 27 August 1982 and broadcast on BBC Radio The Friday Rock Show, hosted by DJ Tommy Vance. There, Diamond Head were surprise late replacements for
Manowar on the Friday night bill. This late replacement status accounts for the comment Sean Harris makes on the album that "I bet nobody expected us to be on 'ere tonight."
The version of Sucking My Love on this album was previously released as a 12" single in 1983.
