The sound on the first song "Hard Driver" is a little sloppy as the radio and the stage sound man try to quickly adjust the faders, it does improve. This would have been the day to be at this annual festival. The main stage headliner was Stevie Ray Vaughan. Also on the bill was The Stray Cats, Dave Mason, and Molly Hatchet touring for their last album to feature vocalist Danny Joe Brown. I personally never attended a Badlands concert. I actually attended a few shows they were the opening act for but missed them each time. That is why I love having the shows that I do. It's odd, my least favorite era of Ozzy Osbourne is with Jake on guitar. I saw Ozzy twice with Jake. The Bark At The Moon tour with Motley Crue & Ratt. Then The Ultimate Sin tour with Metallica. On Bark At The Moon the keyboards were just too dominating in the mix, and Ultimate Sin was too Hair Metal sounding. I love Jake's playing with Badlands, he's perfect for this Bluesy Hard Rock sound.

justdave notes:

The original uploader uploaded each show separately, so I put them together, found the artwork online, now none of us has to pay the ridiculous price copies of this bootleg are going for (and it's not cheep).

This is a nice collection of performances by the "Supergroup" formed by former members of Black Sabbath and the Ozzy Osbourne Band. Rather ironic actually that another former singer from Black Sabbath would form a band with a former Ozzy Osbourne guitar slinger. Ray Gillan had replaced Glenn Hughes during Black Sabbath's Seventh Star Tour. During the sessions for Eternal Idol Ray and Eric jumped ship. Ray, Eric & Jake added Greg Chaisson and Badlands was formed. This compilation is from the bands tour to promote their first album. The band was still fresh but the harmony was already dying. Eric Singer left before the recording of the second album to join Kiss. Ray Gillan left Badlands before the 3rd album demo sessions. Just 5 years after forming Badlands, Ray Gillan would die from AIDS related causes

Ray Gillan died of A.I.D.S. related complications December 1, 1993, he was 34.

Jake E. Lee went on to play with Wicked Alliance & Red Dragon Cartel

Greg Chaisson went on to play with a few other bands even Red Dragon Cartel but is semi-retired after a bought with cancer.

Eric Singer is now impersonating a very famous cat!
