I haven't seen this in years! Just skimming through Youtube and came across this gem from the 80's, Ozzy, Jake, Phil & Randy (R.I.P.) doing their stuff.

It's funny how Ozzy's stage movement hasn't changed much since 1986.
Thanks for the vid!

What happened at this show? I watched it live and wondered what happened before and after the camers's stopped rolling? did they only do 3 songs, it was cut off before they fininshed track 3.

Well the format of the show would normaly feature about 3 Live bands some would just have a backing track playing and they'd go through the motions i.e (Pet Shop Boys) say no more Eh!..You had to take the shit with the smooth LOL! So inbetween bands they would play videos etc they had a DJ / warm up guy who would tell you who was coming on next..Then it was just like being at a regular gig.Some times if the last band on had time and got a good reaction from the crowd they'd do a couple of extra tunes which was cool..I don't think Ozzy had time because i think they played in Newcastle the same night and had to head for the gig!!I seen some cool bands Bon Jovi, Judas Priest, Twisted Sister, Thin Lizzy..One perticular show was wild the Priest gig..Jools Holland was introducing the band and all the crowd started chanting really LOUD !!! 'Holland is a Wanker Da la la La Holland is a ...'It was brilliant he didn't know what to say apart from this next band are for those bunch of noisey so and so's HA!!..I hit lucky last year and a guy was selling the Lizzy Ozzy and JP shows i picked the 3 of them up for less then £10..One show i'd like to see again was Motorhead and Twisted Sister that was one of the first shows that featured two metal bands...When they axed the Tube they did a programme called 'The Roxy' which was shit in comparison but again i seen a few bands like Def Leppard Kiss Status Quo.But this was recorded and it was very like Top of the Pops..Take after Take of the same song it got on your tits abit but it was a free night out...

Trigger's right. Ozzy played at Newcastle Riverside that night 'cos i was there,in all honesty,can't remember much about it it, long time ago and remember being well pissed,surprise, but one memory is being in a pub and most people talking about Jake rather than Ozzy. Also went to Manchester not long after and that was the beginning of Jake the legend for me,although i wa at Donington '84 when Ozzy and band destroyed everyone. Happy days.

Sorry, it was guitaridol5682 who commented on Ozzy playing later.

Sorry once again!! it was the now defunct Mayfair, not Riverside. Talk about the brain being ravaged!!!

Yeah we got there eventually Jake..LOL!! i was going to say i cannot remember Ozzy playing at the Riverside...These are a few items from that gig and tour..

That was one of the best shows I was evert at, Ozzy was amazing.

Brilliant stuff . I wish now that i'd kept old ticket stubs and all the other stuff you get at concerts.

I remember Donington 1984 as we had to leave during Van Halen's set to get home,can't remember why now,it was my first Donington show,i didn't go again until 1988,why i missed out on '86 when Ozzy headlined,i only wish i could remember 'cos i loved the Ultimate Sin album as soon as i heard it. Great days.

86 was a good donington but 84 was stunning, he wiped the floor with Van Halen.

Yeah, my memory of '84 doesn't serve me too well to be honest,i was only seventeen. If i remember rightly the first half hour of Ozzy's set was absolute chaos in the crowd,everyone going mental. I think i read once that he overplayed his allocated time due to the crowd response. He was far and away the best on the day,and luckily it was Ozzy we'd all came to see,although i couldn't comment on AC/DC as i didn't get to see them.

Hey guys,
Is there any footage/audio of that '84 Donington gig?

Not that i now of,but ,,,,,,,,,,
