OZZY didn’t do this show. The support band did their set,then there was a LONG wait before OZZY was due on. Eventually,it was announced over the pa that “Ozzy is in his hotel room & refuses to leave”.” The show is cancelled & refunds are available”. All hell broke lose. The stage equipment was trashed & police with dogs were called in!! Very crazy night….
Brilliant day with great bands. Def Leppard was a very emotional affair as it was the “Return Of The Thunder God”. Scorpions had amazing sound quality, as did Ozzy. Andrew was fucked up BEFORE we even got in there ! A mini bus load of us went to this one. At the time, some of us were into rum & black, Andy just over did it ! He ended up falling asleep, laying on his side (recovery position almost lol) & vomitting…..there was dark coloured dribbles down his cheeks. When he actually came around, he was shaking. Either due to being cold or, more likely, maybe even alcohol poisoning ! Obviously, when he asked me to hold him, i told him to fuck off! lol Over the years, both he & the other lads, “progressed” to taking in boxes of wine ! Myself, i didn’t really induldge as i’d mostly be either driving us there or needed a clear head to record the sets 😉 
Years later i managed to find full audio recordings of every band that played. Sounds really good quality 🙂 
I couldn’t resist taking the notice about cameras etc….especially as i’d got a killer recording 😉
It was awful weather with lots of snow. Also remember a couple of idiots in the queue outside only wearing t-shirts ! They should have opened the doors early..
