Whitesnake, @ Royal Centre,Nottingham 4-4-84
When we got there, we couldn’t find our seats, row T, as they’d been taken out to make extra room for the sound desk. We were given new seats in row K, which was fantastic 🙂 The reason why one ticket is white & the other is “aged” is the original was stuck behind the new seats. Didn’t see this for years until i started scanning my tickets !
Monsters Of Rock ,Whitesnake, Meatloaf, ZZ Top, Twisted Sister, Dio, Diamond Head, Castle Donington 20-8-83
Diamond Head were good, Dio was great, Twisted Sister were fantastic, ZZ Top were seemingly just going through the motions, Meatloaf was pretty poor, Whitesnake were great.
Whitesnake, @ De Montfort Hall,Leicester 23-12-82
Stand out memories were that Jon Lords parents were in the balcony near us. Also, Cozy had some pretty hefty pyrotechnics….even up in the balcony they were very hot !
Monsters Of Rock, AC/DC, Whitesnake, Blue Oyster Cult, Blackfoot, Slade, @ Castle Donington 22-8-81
Myself & my sister went on a bus trip to this one. I’d have been 15 at the time. I found it all very exciting. Slade were brilliant, they threw hundreds of loo rolls out into the crowd & rocked. Blackfoot were a great southern boogie band. BOC were as boring as fuck. Whitesnake were pretty good. AC/DC were a disappointment. There were so many long gaps of silence between the songs & no talking to the crowd. Actually , we didn’t see all of AC/DCs set as my sister wanted to get to the bus in case they left without us lol P.S. Another memory i have from the day is that whilst walking around the festival, we bumped into Athula. He was a chap working at the same hospital as my sister. To think that some years later they got married & are still together is great 🙂
Whitesnake, Billy Squire, @ Bingley Hall, Stafford 17-5-81
Stand out memories : My dad got totally lost trying to find the place ! (Bless him, he did that a lot. At one time of day, we’d go in & out of Nottingham or Leicester a DIFFERENT way each time). My sister didn’t want to go anywhere near the front whilst myself i wanted to go down there. I honestly don’t think she really got gigs (sorry Sue). I settled for a compromise about half way back at the side. This was the best era of Whitesnake when they played the bluesy stuff. Never did like the modern sound of 1987 onwards..
