It was practically snowing back stage - I'm surprised anyone remembers anything from those early Ozzy gigs.
I first (briefly) met Tommy on the 2nd Ozzy tour December 81 (with Randy Rhoads). I was doing some work with support act Girl & tour manager Pete Bennet. Tommy was fresh from working with Pat Travers, & kept himself away from most of the crazy stuff. This was the last date before Ozzy checked into another clinic. He was close to non functioning at that gig, but surprisingly turned in a reasonable gig performance.
