Listening to "Juggernaut" at the moment! Good music and pics. One thing, did you notice anyone filming Frank or Ozzy sets?

Nice photos! Thanks for sharing those with us! I particularly like the shots of Frank's pedalboard. That must be the one I once read about, where he said that he had to have every possible sequence of pedals. So he'd have a fuzztone, then a wah wah, then another fuzztone, etc, because you get different sounds depending on what order the pedals are in. He said it took three people to move it.

Heard that Randy Rhoads and Frank were the stars of Port Vale.

I was there. Lemmy gave me and my mate backstage passes. Hung out with Ozzy, Randy, Motorhead and Frank Marino. Franks set was dull - seemed like one big solo. Lemmy gave us mini Snaggletooth's for sewing down leg of trousers. Spoke to Lem last year and reminded him about taking us under his wing. Still have Ticket, T Shirt and Programme. Randy stole the show.Great gig and great memories.

I was there, it was the loudest show I have ever attended - right from the first band it was full watts. It was a fantastic day, Randy was tops Motorhead were awesome but Frank was the king of the event he smashed it. The power of R&R was his new album & I'm telling yer he burnt the stage....Happy days :)

@djrocker50 I'm not the one to thank. jjmc60 may be the one. Just wish I was there...

I still remember Uncle Ted Nugent on an interview74:" I had guitar battles in Detroit-Toronto area. Had one with Wayne Kramer who is a great guitarist. Had one with Frank who wasn,t". Thanks Ted. I never understood the real reason for that comment.

@lukemanify

just find your post. I was there that day, fanatastic, awsome power. did you remember the sky divers coming in when Lemmy fired up "bomber" first number I think also fired up the air raid sirens. Your pics brought back great memories.
