Talk:Cheetah (band)

Reason for the move.
I was not sure if 'Cheetah' is a band or a duo. They did perform with a backing band but are marketed as a duo I think, as the full band was not on the album covers. Therefore, I felt it was better to label them as a duo rather than a band.PeterMan844 (talk) 18:37, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Audience at 1982 Reading Festival
I was at said festival (worked there as security) and the Reading grounds can't hold 120.000 people in one go. The max was/is around 60.000. Keep in mind that the Reading Festival was a three-day endeavour and as such I can see 40.000 people attending per day, which would amount to 120.000 over the whole week-end. As far as I can remember, the biggest crowd for one day was in 1983 when Black Sabbath were top of the bill (with ex-Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan on vocals) with an attendance of just over sixty-thousand. I must add that I worked at the Reading festival from 1980 til 1983 so I can only speak for those four years.

In 1982 Iron Maiden was top of the bill on Sunday, but there were two other "top of the bill" bands on friday and saturday and as such, Cheetah having played "together" with Iron Maiden is an exaggerated point and serves only to shed an ameliorated light on Cheetah's performance, as if Iron Maiden playing at the same venue on the same date would make Cheetah's performance 'better'. Standing in the shadow of giants doesn't make you any bigger.

Kind regards,
