Does anyone recall the Diary 1982 Tour where Ozzy came out on a giant hand? I saw a photo of Ozzy on a big hand and I see the castle in the background. I saw the show at MSG with Bernie Torme on guitar, and there was no hand during the show.

Thanks

Well there’s this:
In 1981 Ozzy released Bible of a Madman, preferring it over his first album. As part of his contract Ozzy had to throw 25 pounds of calves livers and pigs intestines at the audience. Sharona had a giant hand built as part of the huge stage production with a big lever built in to launch the cutlets out on an unsuspecting audience.
Ozzy hated it. After his first show, during the encore Ozzy reluctantly climbed onto the hand. With fear on his face he rode the gauntlet high above the first couple of rows. Waving at the cheering crowd, he took a step back and released the catapult, launching raw meat mainly on the back of his head. In the spirit of things, what meat did make it to the audience was whipped right back at him.
“ Sharon, the whole thing’s daft, you’re making me looked like a total cunt!””

Thanks Little Buddy…

in montreal on that tour he came on in that huge hand

I guess the metal hand did not last that long…

he played fresno in early 1982 and I don’t remember him sitting in a hand..I just remember him being fat and sweaty with his mascera running and he sounded like hell but he had nice titties….also the drummer for the opening act got lost and didn’t show so everybody sat around for an hour before they said no opener,then Osbourne only played about 70m
Ripoff!!

That made me laugh. All I can picture is fat bastard from Austin Powers.

Yeah, Ozzy was one of the few rock stars that should have always kept his shirt on back then…

Back then, 80/90 minutes was the average show length…
