Scorpions were the band of the day for me. Wonderful.

They always deliver! Never seen them disappoint - Knebworth, Donington, Wembley Arena even (arguably) gave Priest a run for the money at Hammersmith!

I was there! I remember the flare being shot at the stage from our right aimed right at Motorhead and yeah Lemmy went nuts and threatened to knock his head off! Silenced the crowd! Def Lep 's return, everyone was waiting for especially with Rick Allen 's accident and a lot of people around us were crying when Joe Elliot introduced him! Scorpions won the day for me! They were amazing!. This was my 3rd Donington!. Did 83, 84, 86 and 87! Great times!

Thanks for the comment - great memories. You certainly saw some classic Doningtons there! Only one of us got to ‘83!! Please subscribe if can. Cheers!

Thanks for posting some great memories gents. I didnt go to the festival but saw Warlock supporting WASP in October 86 at Newcastle City Hall. The Ozzy set was broadcast on the Friday rock show as I remember taping it.

Cheers for the comment and the kind words - pls subscribe if you haven't already - more to come soon!

Saw def leppard previous monday in Ireland , a good night.

Damn, I was at the next 2 but good stuff 😄

It wasn't all Bad News but obviously the Leps a highlight for me and Ozzy headlining and an absolute monster hearing Killer Of Giants with the Jake solo.. Sublime. Scorpions never disappoint.

The absolute biggest and most enduring story of that day, for me (though I wasn't there), has to be Rick Allen's return after his near fatal car wreck, losing his arm, his recovery and teaching himself to play drums on the foot kit.

Thats so true, an amazing achievement and he’s still in the band . Awesome

Outstanding day, Scorpions were brilliant, Leppard triumphant, Oz was Oz but Motorhead crushed it. Absolutely brutal.

I was too young to go this on my own but only lived a few miles away so my mum suggested she drive and we’d listen to Ozzy from the car park as we had done Marillion the year before. As you say, no real security so you could do that kind of thing. I did go and see Ozzy on tour the same year.

Awesome thanks ! 🙏

Scorpions great

I was there. Travelled on a bus from Somerset with a bunch of other metallers, as the ticket also included the bus hire. I'd already been in '85 so knew what to expect, but the crowd seemed a bit less mad. TBH I forgot that Scorpions and Def Leppard played there that year. I do remember Bad News (and had the t-shirt for years til it fell apart) and someone in the crowd launching a firework/flare at Lemmy when Motorhead were on, and Lemmy going ballistic. Also remember talking to people from various bands who were at the edge of the crowd - Tarazara and some others. The Bad News bit of it can be seen here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZYF9urlvfpPJZ8Y.htmlsi=ioUaG8fiDSOunibj - tbh they were better than Warlock.

hit him on the hand.

Ozzie in 84 great Donington when he topped the bill for 86 rubbish scorpions amazing and at knebworth under deep purple

it was a coin thrown at Lemmy , he offered every one out for a fight if it happed again. lol.

there was a screen in 86

Spot on with the bark at the moon solo. Has Ozzy ever had a truly great album though? I mean with a full great track list and good production? Lots of great singles but the albums are hampered by filler or crap production. My personal fave is the Randy Tribute album.

You make a good point - there's some great songs and production on No More Tears but not all songs are great - interesting theme to consider for other bands too!! Thanks for your support!

@@talesfromthepowerage great idea and how many bands have 3 or 4 truly brilliant albums and then a bunch of filler? Def Leppard, Motley Crüe for example…

i was there. . drunk.

D L were great

ha too much to drink in the van on way down from Scarborough. then costed by women in car park . the women applied me with purnod and black then assaulted me again. i made made way to the pub across a corn field, had a drink felt ill was ill. staggered up long road to the gates and past out. i woke up covered in vomit all over my white jeans everyone looking at me. the man on the gate near looked at my ticket he just let me in. i missed Warlock, lol. Def Leppard and Scorpions were great.

Bad News should have been on first, complete and utter garbage. Warlock were brilliant
