Hey X,
Great story man!

Funny how Randy asked how the sound was. Another evidence that he was always worried about his sound. So it was a bit like the Montreal boot?, very interesting to know, just listened to Montreal in my car and was thinking about your story. Wonder if there is a boot of that concert you saw?
Thanks a lot man!

(btw. not to come over as a "Global Ass"

but shouldn't this topic belong to General, it's not really Off-topic right? )

Damn X (Yeah I stole it from the Dutchman

)

Thats an amazing story..It really shows that Randy was like no other..As a musician and as a person..Even after playing a full set he loved to have a little chat with the fans..Thanks alot for taking the time to type your story!

Six Pounder...No problem at all. Believe me, it's MY pleasure to be able to relate that story to someone who appriciates Randy and gives a damn...
you guys do which is so cool.

Dutch.....I don't believe that a boot of that show exists. I've never seen it listed amongst the others. I have the "Montreal" show though, plus a few others.....and that keeps me happy. I have played "Montreal" THOUSANDS of times and it never ceases to amaze........that kind of PERFECTION never becomes stale.

Sadly no, I'm only 17 years old and Randy passed away to be with God 24 years ago.

Yes I did. New Haven CT - Aug. 2nd, 1981 on the Blizard Tour. I was very young. I remember turning to my friend after the show and said I wanted start playing guitar and play like Randy. I bugged my parents for the next month to get me a guitar. My father gave me his first guitar and I've been playing ever since.

If only.
My only Randy story is one night , i was getting severley pissed,when i got talking to a rugby league player who told me he wouldn't go out on the pitch without listening to AC/DC or Randy, apparently he had met Randy just before the Heavy Metal Holocaust concert in the Uk and had spent an hour or so with our hero, Randy bought him a drink or vice/versa but couldn't understand why he just basically drunk it in one go (a British disease!!!!) He also got Randy's autograph but told me he probably gave it away for a drink or fag!!!!!
This was many years ago and unfortunately, i can't remember meeting this guy again.
Boring, i'm afraid, but true.

Please keep in mind that comments like this about God are offensive to some of us.

I understand what you are trying to say, but please consider the way you phrase things...
