Hi all, Fozzy41 here, (Gary Forrester, Hull, UK)
My very first Ozzy concert, so excited it was untrue, I was only 15 but remember it well. This was an added date to the tour, he'd played Sheffield a few weeks earlier ( about 90 minutes away)but 'cos I was only 15 my Mam and Dad would'nt let me go, but when he anounced Hull I couldn't believe it, amazing. Really glad I got to see Randy Rhoads, although at the time I didn't apreciate it that much, I was an Ozzy fanatic and Randy was just his new guitarist so I didn't pay him much attention, God how I regret that now.
This was my first introduction to Ozzy in a live enviroment, and from that day until this day I've kept coming back for more. I've travelled all over the UK watching him live, and I've seen him at least once on every UK Tour he's ever done, as well as most of his festival apearances.
I've posted all my ticket stubs here but there's quite a few I've lost or misplaced over the years, such as Leeds Queens Hall Dec '82, Hull City Hall July '88, London Hammersmith Odeon May '89, Castle Donington Aug '96 and Birminham NEC Dec '97, God knows where they are.
Lets hope he stays fit and healthy and is able to carry on performing live for years to come, 'cos I'll be there 'til the end.
God Bless you Ozz.
