Just noticed what the date is today and immediately thought about it. Vandenburg and LeRoux as well. My buddy and I missed them but BOC kicked arse and of course so did Ozzy.

Pretty sure that was the same year I saw BOC and LeRoux opened for them. Great live show by that version of BOC, no doubt. They had a huge Godzilla head and brought a Harley on stage.

Yeah and they had the huge Godzilla and Eric rode the Harley out at the Centroplex too in ‘81 when Foghat opened for them.

I was up against the rope barrier the cops were using to keep people out before the doors opened. After a while a couple of guys took off running to the stage and everyone else followed suit.

I was in the front row for Vandenberg. After a few hours of waiting and the Vandenberg set, nature took its course, the beer and whiskey made its way through me, and I had to leave the front of the stage.

Great show. Loved Ozzy and BOC - both played monster sets.

I was there. Great times. You remember the freak dragging the huge cross around? I remember thinking at the time that there were some scary mofo's at that concert. Side note, Adrian Vandenberg was absolutely amazing.

I was there. All of the acts were solid. Was very impressed with Vandenburg. I've seen BOC several times, this was one of there best shows.

LOL. No. I didn’t catch that. Wish I had.

So have I. Saw ‘em a bunch in the 80’s and 90’s but then went 20+ years without seeing them until literally just 12 days ago. They played a tiny little town up north of Orlando, where I’m working right now. Great show.
