Just came across this pic I'd never seen before at Getty Images. Looks like he's trying to remember how the song goes!



There's a few there I'm sure I've never seen, so others may want to check it out: Getty Images

Cool, very clear like gold to me, thanks for sharing.

One thing i have noticed on alot of Live photographs that are credited to Fin Costello. I asked Fin in an email about seeing Randy and Ozzy in concert etc and this was his reply.

Hi Shaun, Thanks for asking. I'm afraid I have to say no as I never
actually spoke to Randy and never saw Ozzy play live. I am also
retired from all that now. Good luck with it all. and thanks once
again for your interest.
Regards Fin

He's trying to REMBER were he left the peanutbutter

I have a Randy poster from the same show. I call it the Gilligan RR poster. It is the most unattractive Randy pic I have ever seen. It's Randy with his Les Paul and the light hits him weird between the nose and mouth, making that rut (Ron Sobol joked to Randy about it one of the films) look huge and him a bit like Bob Denver in the face.

When I was younger, I used to assume all these guys were doing photos before the show/photo sessions thanks to guitar magazine ads and due to some photos looking like they were posing. I remember seeing Ed in a picture and was thinking, "POSER" until I watched the entire VH US '83 festival and the exact shot was from the solo. I'm so jaded!

I was wrong about the poster. Different show. Everything else I said else holds up.

P.S. - Anybody looking for any Randy stuff? I'm not desperate or want to sell my entire collection but I do need to lighten my load so if your looking for something certain... Maybe I'll post in a different topic.

Yeah i've got that poster and it wasn't a very good shot of him. The twisted face doesn't do any favours for him. Definately not a good one for a poster.

Just an unflattering shot/poster.

Gilligan!
