This is an exclusive never seen before photo of The Blizzard line up from the UK 1980 tour.This was taken at the Ipswich Gaumont Theatre 23rd October..

Awesome shot!

Sweet!

Shaun, were are you getting all of these wonderful pictures?
Keep on sharing!

Its good to share these pics,if you don't ask you don't get.I was talking to a guy on ebay and i asked him if he still had the ticket from the Ozzy gig that he'd been to.He emailed me the ticket which i have in my collection already, along with this photo.Which he is sending me to add to my collection. Cool..

Great shot! Thnx!


Two white cabs and two black cabs there.

Niiiiceee, thank you!

Another great photo Shaun.
This shot looks very similar to the photo's from the Hull City Hall gig five days earlier which I posted up last year.
Keep 'em coming mate.

Hi Gaz that was the first thing that i thought,the stage is set up the same as Hull plus Ozzy has the same stage clothes on aswell.I wonder why the number of Marshall stacks Randy used varies over this tour he used 3 during the 17 September Newcastle gig.3 for the 24 September Coventry.2 for the Hull 18 October and Ipswich 23 October gigs.Then back to 3 for the London Hammersmith 26 October.The only reason i can think for not using 3 stacks for all the tour is down to the stage size/area not being big enough to squeaze another stack onto the stage ?.

Are you not getting mistaking with this photo which was taken by Jeff Mayer.The photo in question has not been seen before..

what I like about these pictures, is the intimacy- it´s not the arena-type of stage setting yet, rather ballroom/big club thing...which I guess it really was...

Hi Shaun,

this site has been so exciting with the pictures rolling in from you and also Nicole.

Thanks

Matt

Yeah Matt i go out of my way to get these photos. I don't think i have any more in my collection to share. I've posted the lot up, so i'm on the look out for more unseen pics. I'm mainly looking for 1980 UK tour photos, it just amazes me that so few are about. You'd think that the site would have every one's pics from the gigs they went to etc. They are like rocking horse shit, i only have photos from about 4 different UK dates. But if anyone has any to share please post them up.
