Live in London (Riot album)

Riot Live (not to be confused with the 1982 EP of the same name with Rhett Forrester on vocals) is Riot's first full-length live album, recorded in the UK in 1980/'81 but not issued until 1989 on CBS/Sony Records in Japan. This is the band's last output with original vocalist Guy Speranza.

The album contains a cover of the well known 1950s rock'n'roll classic, "Train Kept A-Rollin'", brought to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s by the likes of The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith.

Riot Live finally saw an American release in 1993 via Metal Blade Records. Although the U.S. re-issue front cover lists the Fire Down Under line-up, no FDU songs are found on Riot Live.
