Nick Logan (reviewer, NME) : You could feel the Empire Pool shaking to its foundations as the roar went up for their first British concert appearance in nearly two years and on came Mick, Brian, Keith, Bill and Charlie. Jumpin' Jack Flash, their new single, was inaudible above the din and Satisfaction was only recognisable because of its familiarity - but no-one cared about that. So who says today's pop lacks excitement ?
Terry Kirkman (The Association) : We thought the crowd reaction was exceptional considering we were one of twenty acts and that we hadn't been seen before. It was a fun show to do.
I must say the most rewarding experience we had in London was doing Top Of The Pops. The way they handled our presentation was beautiful. And they looked after us so well. We recorded Time For Living live, which is something we're very leery to do in America, but we worked with their house band and they were so much fun, so courteous and enthusiastic, we really enjoyed ourselves. Actually, I liked the way Time For Living turned out on the show better than I like our single of it.
