Portland, OR Randy photos (07-11-81)

Post by RhoadsRockPhotographer »

I was going to save these to share at a "later date" (and could have SWORN I had the photobucklet account set to PRIVATE - apparently NOT, though - since they decided to "help themselves" over at .tk or somewhere else, first.), but so much for that.

This show just tore me the hell up, from having to hide having my camera from the venue camera-nazi security, once I got inside. I only was able to take a grand total of 8 photos, to be able to come out with SOMETHING, yet not get caught. Most of them probably weren't even taken til there was about 2-3 songs left, as they opened for Motorhead. I was either "too blocked" when people were standing in front of me, or not blocked ENOUGH when they were sitting.

Little did I know this would be my FINAL CHANCE - EVER.

Dave, I just saw the ones from DOTG and those are wonderful as well.
Could you post those over here?
And I heard that you missed Randy meeting Randy by a few minutes.
Thanks again for sharing your photos with us. I always enjoy seeing new photos.

Glad you like them.

Yes, I'm still kicking myself 28 years later about that one, too.

Dave you've came up trumps again man those photos are really awesome. It must of been really frustrating trying to keep an eyeout for the security and focus on framing a shot up. But at least we have 4 awesome pics from that show. Cheers for sharing those Thanks again :wink:

I, of all people, should know better than not to double, triple and quadruple check every possible way to link back to the photobucket album they were contained in. I apparently set-up that particular account in too much of a hurry and didn't find out til the damage was already done that it was still set to Public, rather than Private.

Glad you like 'em.

Great set of photo's, you did well to get even a few decent ones. Never seen any from this show.
I got threw out of Manchester Apollo for taking photo's on The Ultimate Sin Tour, (but thankfully eventually managed to sneak my way back in) so I know what its like.
Jobsworth security guards really used to piss me off, you'd have thought I'd robbed the crown jewels or something, wankers.

No, the ones I took at Manchester Apollo turned out pretty shit, not bad I suppose as a personal souvenir of a great gig, something to remember it by, but not what I'd be proud of to post here, especially compared to the ones Dave posted here.
The ones I was on about in the other thread are from The Bark UK tour 1983, and also some from an outdoor/afternoon German festival in 1986.
