Pantera + Ozzfest Jam & Riot - Polaris Amphitheater - Columbus, OH 17.06.1997

notes from the uploader/taper ! :

Here is some comments that was posted at Rob Dryer's Black Sabbath Live Project website....
Neither Black Sabbath or the Ozzy Osbourne band appeared at this show, but did return on July 1st for a makeup date. Ozzfest attendees didn’t learn of Ozzy’s cancellation until about 9 hours after the gates first opened.

"Members of several Ozzfest bands (Pantera, Type O Negative, Fear Factory and Marilyn Manson) assembled an ad-hoc Ozzy tribute band to fill in for the missing headliners. They performed a short set of Ozzy covers including "I Don't Know", "Mr. Crowley", "Suicide Solution", "Crazy Train" [Marilyn Manson-vocals], and "Bark At The Moon". Their show lasted just over 35 minutes and did little to soothe the disappointed crowd. Many were still waiting for Ozzy to come out and do his thing, but Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo had to break the bad news that the really was over.

From MTV News: The capacity crowd of 20,000 was less than thrilled with the news, and about 1,000 of them took their anger out on the venue. Fans smashed box office windows, ripped down panels from a wooden fence, and lit small fires around the amphitheater ground. According to the "Columbus Dispatch," the crowd also seriously damaged at least one car, and destroyed trees and fences on neighboring property. This riot resulted in the arrest of 23 attendees.

"When one of the band members announced that Ozzy wasn't here, the guys ran to the fence and started tearing it down," one fan told a local news crew of the situation. “All of a sudden bonfires broke out on the lawn and people were setting seats on fire, setting the wall on fire, and I work here... not tonight. But I have to clean up all of this stuff up tomorrow."

"They were just trashing the place 'cause everybody's angry," another fan said. "We need our money back because we didn't get our concert."

Five fans were treated for minor injuries, one was charged by police with disorderly conduct, and the venue hopes to announce refund information in a few days. Ozzy's publicist would only say that Ozzy will be back with Ozzfest for Thursday night's show at Chicago's World Amphitheater."

The Pantera set was as usual was tight.....during "This Love" there was some stripper who was giving her best dance moves on stage for Phil and had "This Love" painted on her ass cheeks that she proudly flashed for all to see!

After a bit of a delay between Marylyn Manson's set and Ozzy's solo set (there was many partons who was getting a serious search by Ohio State Troopers for a reported "bomb threat" that was made if MM went onstage) Phil comes out and wants to jam with Ozzy's band....which seemed to be pretty cool at first. But after the Joey Holme's guitar solo the crowd started getting restless. Phil being the trooper that he was tried his best to put a postive spin on the cancellation but after almost 10 hours of Metal, beer & summer heat everything came to a head! The riot itself runs longer than will fit on a standard 80 cdr so where there was a break in the recording from where I was getting ready to pack up my gear I continued on a 3rd disc...but you can choose to tack it on at the end of the Pantera cd (or delete) if you choose.

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing, but the original taper requested that this was not to be converted to MP3, and he's really mad about it, and could prevent him from sharing future shows. So, please post the FLAC files instead, if you want to share this. But, its your choice and out of my hands.

[turk2]

Thanks. I was always curious about this show.

[Fitchman]

Thanks. Can't wait to check it out.

[rob_on_guitar]

Kick ass!

[sikki]

people should just apreciate what people take the time to post and stop bitching,...........its nice people want to post here and bitchy people should go start their own forum and leave others alone if they dont like what is posted............this is a "bootleg" site...........not a flac site.........you dont like the format? DONT DOWNLOAD IT!!!!!!!!!!

[rhoadsfanz5150]

Hey Sikki,
You don't like my opinion, don't read it. If you don't like FLAC, don't download it.

If You Dont Like MP3 Why Are You In A MP3 Section Bitching????????????????i bet the band the guy taped it from feels same way

[sgmarshall3]

Thanks, I was at this show! I'm glad somebody converted this to mp3. Like the sound quality is Sooooo great it can't be degraded. C'mon! Some people just tape shows to try to make themselves feel important, not to share music. I'm in it for the bands, not the tapers. I appreciate the great tapes that people have made over the years, but that's no reason to try to hold the music hostage from the people who want to listen. I ain't got time to run everything I listen to thru Exact Audio Copy to find out if it was an mp3 or not.

[docjohn]

I was at this one too.Any chance of a re=up or a point to the flac files...thanks
