I didn't go to the 1983 US Festival but a friend of mine had a copy of it on VHS (the 2nd day with the metal bands) and we must have watched it every day for months straight. Ozzy Osbourne coming out in that kick ass witch doctor outfit is a very happy memory of my youth. Damn, time to start searching youtube to see if I can find it
