    I was there on Metal day. Loved every minute of it, even though it was brutally hot all day long. There will never be another festival like the US Festival. It's sad that more recent generations didn't experience such a magical time. Some of us were lucky enough to have been a part of this monumental event. I wish I could take you all back to this in 1983. No words can truly define how huge this festival was. Just, wow!

    Love Wozniak griping at the end about Bowie’s and VH’s payday. You needed them and they didn’t need you, as simple as that. You signed the agreement. Nice when an artist actually has the leverage for once. Like Brando charging an obscene amount for what is basically a cameo in Superman. Make them pay when you can because it won’t be very often, if ever.

One half of their DVD is a documentary on how they put their show together plus interviews with other musicians who went to see the show. In reality, Triumph made the mistake. All of the other acts received royalties from the US 83 DVD, which outsold Triumph's DVD 10 to 1, except Triumph.

      It was an enormous amount of money. At least double in today's dollars if not triple.

      Uncontaminated water without the fluoride, straight from the tap.
      I remember the Monday morning newspaper and it's front page photo of Rob Halford dressed in his black leather and shiny studded vest with cap and whip in hand, with the pic being shot from the back of the stage overlooking him and out into the massive crowd that seemed never ending.
      It may have been in color as well.
      Priest put on an amazing performance, as did Triumph, Scorpions, Ozzy, and surprisingly Quiet Riot.
      Crue had their moments but looked killer doing it, and Van Halen were having too good of a time whilst being overpaid.
      This event helped catapult Rock and Metal into the stratosphere across the southland like wildfire, and made it great as a teenager to be a rocker at that time.

      Rage Theatre2020 yes worth it but after 100 ppl to pay, you’re not left with much vs. how hard you worked. Movie stars too, they may lose like fifty percent of a movie paycheck. I’m not saying they are poor or deserve pity. But on a gross basis I don’t get a huge hard-on for it if I’m in possibly the greatest band on earth.

      Rage Theatre2020 Then fewer ppl to pay you mean? Yeah, totally possible. It’s the 50% tax bracket, I think, that keeps me from having orgasms over the money, plus it’s pocket change to these guys, no? Well, they felt it was worth it, which is good for fans!
