Reminiscing about Ozzy gigs

I just spent a great half hour telling someone about the times I saw Ozzy live and would love to hear other fan stories too.

I first saw him at Ozzfest '98 in the UK (first time it came here). I was 15 and my dad took me. What an amazing day and line-up. Slayer, Soulfly, Pantera etc then Ozzy came out and did 7 solo songs before a full set with Sabbath. I still remember the absolutely uncontrollable excitement I felt waiting to see him on the stage in front of me, then a big build up and there he was. Still one of the most precious memories of my life. I also got a signed photo in the mail a few weeks before this gig as my dad had written to him management. I've still got it and cherish it, along with all the merch I bought that day.

I then saw him do a solo headliner at Ozzfest '10 in London and a Sabbath gig in Glasgow in Dec '13.

Where/when did you see him? What was it like for you?
