Tommy vance another legend ..

TV on the radio. Loved him and Steve Wright. Modern DJs cannot hold a candle to them.

Two legendary broadcasters gone.good memories of more innocent times. They don't make em like this anymore. Best wishes from Scotland.

Best radio presenter the uk as ever witnessed 👌r.i.p Steve ✌🏻

John Lennon was still alive when this was broadcast. What a long career Steve Wright had.

Had a little cry. He sounded much younger and high pitched than I recall joining later in the mud 80s but his gorgeous humour is shining through. I hear him laughing at himself which I loved. Forever missed xx

Such a talented guy. Very much missed by so many. You have to wonder whether future generations will be blessed by such great entertainment... 🤔

Just give me a Time Machine so I go go back and immerse myself in the best era ....... this brings back such happy memories

Didn’t he sound different back then! What a broadcasting genius though, very much missed, and gone too soon.

wrighty was good wasn't he, much missed. iv not listened to him in years due to work etc etc but when I caught him on a Sunday now and again and I enjoyed it but since his passing iv delved into his past shows ( god bless KZfaq ), and yeah ., he was a superb DJ, could easily hold a show on his own. RIP

I live in the Netherlands and listened to Steve every day in the afternoon on the medium wave in the 80’s. Loved the show!

First show, first link and didn't sound nervous at all, what a pro

was really brilliant at this was Steve. Never been a show as good as Steve Wright in the afternoon in the late 80s on R1. Easy life!!!

I was living in Harlow , Essex in the early 80s and listened to Steve and many other great DJ S 👍🫠

By the end of 1980, Steve was moved to 10am on Saturdays when cutbacks meant Radio 1 was forced to closedown at 7.30 on Saturday nights.

How superb to hear this, and Tommy Vance at the start.

I was 21 , great music times on the radio with the brill Steve Wright 😁

Amazing stuff. Thanks for posting. So sad he's gone.

Thank you very much for this upload. I don't think Steve would mind me saying, I thought there were elements of Everett (OMG I just typed that a second or two before Steve said "Everett" @11:36..... you trying to tell me something Steve? Allo boy!) and great to hear the Gambo jingle and Tommy Vance introduction. RIP Silly Boi. Missin' you and doing some serious grievin' (without the G). Keep ya tongue aht! ❤🙏❤

Lovely to hear how Steve sounded (understandably) trepidatious in his first couple of links - but by 15 minutes in was totally loving his big new experience, and was brimming with confidence. ❤

His first show? Wow! Never heard this before.Straight from the off, he engaged his audience, and made them feel part of the show.Brilliant interpretation of what was needed to make it all work.From his first show, to his last he made you feel you were important.You were the important one! Not him or the artist.Not many could carry that off with sincerity. But Wrighty certainly could! The impressions were also there at the beginning, and all the 'bits and pieces' were already permutating in the background. He really was a one off! Such a special individual and broadcaster.So sad listening back to this, and thinking we will never hear his brilliance on the airwaves again. That is why all the clips of his shows should be played as much as possible, and saved for posterity.So a new generation can come in and pick up from where Steve left off, and create their own style.There will be only one Steve, but "zoo radio" will live on.Thanks to the Godfather Steve Wright. Miss ya Steve.God bless. Thanks for posting.

I wish I was 8 years old again, back when times were simpler. In fact.....keep the technology as advanced but the simpler times and I'll be happy.

So many teen memories of Steve Wright In The Afternoon. Brilliant DJ.

Radio 1 was unmissable back then, interesting that Steve was put on an evening show at the beginning.

just feels like home

I was 14 and full of dreams 😘

So good that it was worth suffering AM reception to listen in. His style never changed over the years, he always seemed like that old mate who was always there.

This was lovely to hear. Thank you.

so sad

After Radio 210, from Reading, Berkshire

I probably listened to tis at the time as I had no tv at the time and all I didi was listen to radio 1...remember Steve with Mike Read with the Read and Wright show on Saturdays i think in '79 ..this must be when he got the show all to himself

What a natural.

When he started pick off the pops they stopped him singing at the end of the songs. Never knew sang along from the early days. Sunday love songs is now flat with what they’ve brought in

As slick 44 years ago as only this year, mr consistent, much missed.

I see Tommy Vance gave his producer Trevor Dann a mention, years later to be one of the hatchet men of Radio 1. By the way, this is great audio quality. Doubtful it came off the AM broadcast 🤔

You can really hear the Kenny Everett infuence in his presenting style here.

When they used to do end credits. Totally forgot about that

priceless Steve

Radio like it used to be.

Back when the BBC had the benefit of Radio Luxembourg and Caroline to poach ready made talent from.

Still a tragic loss a one off

Jan 1980 I was listening to Capital Radio, or out playing in a band (brass)

anyone know anything about Steves funeral ?...we had to listen to SARA COX crying down the mic the day he passed, now shes laughing and joking and not a mention of his funeral !

Trevor Dann 😮🙉😳

Some hooter
