Does anyone know anything about this photo (what venue it was taken at and when etc) its one of my favourites.I think Delores would like this photo if she's not seen this before.Its the typical type of photo i can hear his Mom saying "Isn't that a lovely picture"

taken by journalist david gans january 1982. either salt lake or denver.

see the write up here:

it takes my breath away to think of what randy might have been working on or thinking about or working on for the themes described by ozzy for KOG and BOATM.

Cheers Stress2Stress that interview is a long read but it shows how much Ozzy was fucked up back then.I've never read that interview or heard of the name David Gans before now ...

wow i picture of Randy at the almight salt palace. Man they tore that thing down along time ago. I wish there was a bootleg to go with this picture. Good news is there is a fabulous ozzy Video from 84 that is pro shot with Jake E Lee that is really good.

Backstage....

I contacted David Gans and he sent me these photos i've got my fingers crossed that he'll be sending me some more pics of RR but these are interesting pics of the dwarf they couldn't hang John Allen..

Yeah Dutch, fingers crossed but i'm sure he only took a few pics as he was very much into the photo journalist thing and as you'll notice with his lengthy interview with Ozzy.Get the photos done, interview ! Job done.. I think we would of seen the other pics on his website..but we'll see.
