    This festival is one of the greatest ever!!!! The lineup of Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, Krokus, Quiet Riot, and The Michael Schenker Group is one of the greatest packages ever!! I would have gone crazy if I could see all these bands in one night. I am a huge massive fan of all these bands and I have all their studio and live albums. I agree with one comment I saw on this page which is how has this Festival not been properly released on CD, DVD, and Blu-ray yet. I would definitely get them if they ever did especially with remastered sound. I did find a bootleg of the whole festival years ago at a mom and pop music store that I used to go to and found a triple live CD bootleg of all the bands for $15. I was very impressed with how great it sounded for a bootleg. I listen to it very often.

      Do not conflate a state in America called Kansas with four distinct countries in the 'UK' that even have their own languages. England had about 7 different accents! Scotland about 6, Wales has about 2 or 3 variations and the Ulster Scots accent is just one of many accents on the Isle of Ireland.

    Any wonder an also very young Ross Halfin when laying his eyes on a very very young Steven Maynard Clark, knew what he was seeing was something incalculably special. Arguably Ross Halfin documented the entire career of Steve. His pictures taken both set/promotional and especially live culminating in the 1988/1989 'Hysteria Tour' which saw him take a staggering diverse range of pictures of Steve, in private, not knowing, live, and with Lorelei. Steve trusted him to do so, with unprecedented access. Halfin's gift to the world as stated is incalculable. Just is what the real genius of this band left, Steve "The Riffmaster" Clark. His riffing here, especially with his beloved XR-1 with stunning melodies harmonies, hooks and bends was just a taste of what was to come. On stage strapped [very] low he just oozed rock star cool, and was mesmerizing. He owned the stage, and the crowd.
