Quiet Riot: Live At The US Festival 1983; CD/DVD Out In March

Following a pair of DVD releases, Shout! Factory has announced the release of several performances on CD from the famous US Festival in California including Quiet Riot. Spearheaded by Apple co-founderSteve Wozniak, the US Festival intended to be a celebration of technology and culture, with a temporary stage and open-air venue paid for by Wozniak himself just for the purposes of the festival.

Dubbed as a festival of peace and music, it went on for three days. The first two nights some of the biggest names in pop were drawing crowds up to 300,000.

The last day the bill was exclusively hard rock bands, and the crowd grew to a stunning600,000 which was a shock to everyone, not at least the bands themselves.

The line-up consisted of Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Van Halen,Scorpions, and Triumph. More US Festival 1983 here.
