Judging by these photo's alone Wembley looks like it must have been one hell of a show. Ozzy seems to have brought things to wembley that were not used in much of the US shows since early January 82.

I know that most of the British shows were played on naked stages so the Hand, arches and techno must have been amazing for a British audience.
This set was Ozzy's best ever and I wonder what happened to it? I know that David Bowie used the light rig in 1983 on his tour to promote the 'Lets Dance' album.

no

Here's a photo of Ozzy from the Leeds Queens Hall gig with Brad. During the main part of the set Ozzy had his usual red chain mail outfit on, but for the encore he came on in this Ozzy T-Shirt. Chants of "Who ate all the pies you " remain unconfirmed.

Ian, did you ever find the bootleg of 8/8/82?
The one played here in New Orleans?

AND?????????

I'm a little late to this thread but my VERY FIRST concert was the infamous SOTD (DVD) show at Irvine Meadows. Because I've watched the DVD/Video/MTV special so many times that I have more memories of that and not the actual show (I attended)... I do remember that a band called "Axe" opened that night. I was 13 years old at the time and I went with a friend of mine who was 16 (and had a car). I was totally blown away by Brad's solo... the other thing I remember was the dwarf hanging himself during "Goodbye To Romance" I thought that was cool. I had the ticket stub and would show it to my friends at school... especially after MTV aired the concert. I lost the stub when I was 16... it was in my wallet and the damn thing disappeared.

that must have been a killer show to be at, its one of my favorite live shows ever. I think Brad was amazing during that show and his entire stay.
