mmm..... check out the second vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAr9hUiW ... re=related
The vid starts with images from distance, I wonder from what position it was filmed? (soundboard area?)
Check out this 1981 photo when Ozzy played there:
My point: could that sounboard area above be the position for that distance camera regarding the Aerosmith vid?
And if there was a cam there, how many people would notice....?
Thnx for sharing that Harpoon! Never seen those vids before!
(and welcome! )
Above reminds me of someone I talked to who said he saw footage (kind of distance) on MTV from DOTG '81:
I was at my girlfriends house and we were watching MTV and they were running
a commercial for Sept '81 Ozzy tour dates. It was behind the scrolling tour
dates. It was outdoor, daytime, you could see it OK kind of distant
but, you could see Randy on the right side of the stage and Ozzy in the
middle. A friend of mine who is photographer (Daniel Larsen) was at the July
4th Oakland show and told me it was a multi camera shoot. MTV owns that
footage and is rotting in their vault. If I remember correctly Bill Grahm
productions was the original promoter. I only saw it once. I wish I had
taped it but, who knew it was coming on. I'm sure one day more Randy footage
will surface. I mean more than what's out there now.
Do you remember what song they where playing?
It's hard to say. I don't really remember any sound in the background. I do
remember alot of talking over it. It was like, see Ozzy Osbourne on the road
coming to your town soon blah blah..
Maybe someone can ask that photographer Daniel Larsen to verify this?

100% total BS.
Yeah, that part made me wonder too, we have lots of photos from the concert, one would expect (at least) some cams visible near or on the stage.

Did you read why he's grinning so much ?? He's just ripped the ass out of his trousers and Ross Halfin was trying his best to get a photo of his bare ass.Thats why he's backing off in the photo.
