The Friday Night Rock Show Sessions / Live at Reading is a live album by the heavy metal band Diamond Head, and was released in 1992, as part of an official series of similar, radio-archive releases by several bands (see Raw Fruit Records). The tracks had been recorded by BBC Radio and featured on the Friday Rock Show, hosted by Tommy Vance, hence the catalogue number FRSCD006.
The first two tracks come from a session recording in 1980. The remaining tracks were recorded live on August 27 1982 at the Reading Festival, England, where 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.
