AND I WAS FRIGGIN' THERE !! The Diamond One shat all over the others, he was that good.

During another one of the crushes when some freaked-out security guy jumped up on the stage, Dave turns 'round and says: "Get off my fucking stage, maaaan !"

Gaawwwd, I freaking loved that show.....

There were crushes during Dave's set and he calmed the thing down well and stopped the show to let people get treatment.

Other highlights were Dave playing the HFT solo on Steve Vai's guitar while he was wearing it.

I still have the bootleg, I think I taped it off the radio. It's all a bit hazy.

Cheers!

From what i remember, GNR were supposed to open dor DLR on the Skyscraper tour, but he decided against it because they were too undependable and unprofessional. I'm not 100% certain, but they may have even failed to show for a gig, helping make Dave's decision easier. Not that it really mattered for GNR, but...

Odd, since they are both originally from Indiana. The armpit of America.

As a side note, a few people dies during the GnR set and the Brit press reported them as dying during Dave's set. During '88 GnR spent the summer touring with Deep Purple & Aerosmith at stadiums while Poison was opening for Dave. If you check out the Paradise City video the B&W portion is from the MOR show while the color part is from Giants Stadium opening act slot of the DP Aerosmith tour.

i was there too!!.......yeah it was a great line up DLR was great!....the two people that were killed,were killed during 'its so easy' the opening GNR song to their set....i should know as i was in the crush that killed the fans....my two friends saw it happen and went to court for the inquest...truly horrible moment.....fucking scary actually

Yes, they did, at Monster of Rock in England. David was more towards the top of the bill, and GnR were way at the bottom...


The Lineup was:

Iron Maiden
David Lee Roth
Kiss
Ozzy
Megadeth
Guns n Roses
Anthrax
Testament
Helloween

Ozzy was *not* on the Monsters bill in 88'
Neither was Testiment.
Neither was Anthrax.

Guns went on just before DLR

Now sit in the corner and give me 1000 lines.that read -
'I must go back to Rock N Roll school'

I remember seeing a poster back in 1988 from the Donnington show, that had all of those bands on the list...

I remember seeing Testament the night before this show in a club in Jersey City, NJ called Escapades. They said they were flying out for the Donnington show that night.

To watch the show, Notplay on the bill.

Those other MOR posters you uploaded are from other euro dates, Not the UK date.
