Editorial Reviews
The US Festival was held over two weekends in 1982 and 1983. Steve Wozniak, cofounder of Apple Computer, funded the concerts and accompanying technology exposition, as well as the construction of a brand-new outdoor venue in Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino, CA. Nearly every musical genre was represented by bands as diverse as U2, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Ozzy Osbourne,
Waylon Jennings, Van Halen, The Police and The Clash. Over the combined seven days of the festival, more than one million people passed through the entrance gates. May 29, 1983, was "Heavy Metal Day" at the US Festival, and the stellar lineup of bands included Quiet Riot, whose album Metal Health was well on its way to multiplatinum status. The band performed songs from their hit album that became hard rock classics, including the huge singles "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)."
Unseen in nearly 30 years-first-ever release! 2-disc set contains the full concert on CD and DVD in a brilliant box. Contains classic early performances, including "Cum On Feel the Noize," "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)," and "Slick Black Cadilac".

Shout Factory has released a CD/DVD combo pack of Quiet Riot's performance at the US Festival in 1983. Quiet Riot were the first band to play on Heavy Metal Day, which was on May 29, 1983. The band performed in the afternoon to a crowd of 500,000 people. This archival release is a nice thing to have and it's also an important part of Quiet Riot's history.
The band's set consists of eight to nine songs, making it a solid 40 minute set. The band run through songs off their 1983 album, Metal Health. It was the band's debut album in America, as two albums by the band back in the 1970's were only released in Japan (both which featured Randy Rhoads). The band open their set with "Danger Zone", a song that didn't make the original Metal Health album (a studio version can be found on the 2001 reissue of the album). The band are full of energy, especially singer Kevin DuBrow. All of the songs are performed pretty much the same as they were on Metal Health. "Love's a Bitch" does sound a bit different and "Slick Black Cadillac" is lacking the fading in backing vocals. Still, Quiet Riot play a rough and tough set. The audience seem to be enjoying the show as well, especially when the band goes into "Come On Feel The Noize", which was the hit single off the album. Drummer Frankie Banali is playing brilliantly, which is somewhat similar to how John Bonham of Led Zeppelin played. Guitarist Carlos Cavazo shows off his guitar playing throughout the show. The guitar solo, "Battle Axe", is a great example of his. Bassist Rudy Sarzo is just a monster, furiously slapping the bass and head banging. As mentioned before, DuBrow is just amazing. Until his passing in 2007, DuBrow was infamous for being very brutally honest in various metal magazines. This doesn't matter: DuBrow was a great singer. His vocals are similar to Steve Marriot's. Also, the guy knew how to work the stage and get people pumped up. Watching the DVD, DuBrow is decked out in red spandex and suspenders, with red Converse sneakers. DuBrow was certainly a character and nearly five years after his passing, he is sorely missed.
If you are a fan of Quiet Riot, you should get this CD/DVD set. It's nice to have, especially the DVD. If you happened to be one of those 500,000 people that were there that day, this makes a great souvenir. Shout Factory seem to be releasing other performance from the US Festival as well. Personally, I'm happy with my purchase.

Format:Audio CD
I bought this seeing a few videos from the show on youtube. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the album is. The DVD first: the DVD has fantastic remastering and quality. When viewing on a blu-ray player on HDTV, you can see the limitations. But if you view it on a DVD player or on a computer, it is fantastic. I really like the audio because it has no studio altering. You can see and hear the mistakes, like for example, Carlos Cavazo hits a bad note in the guitar solo of "Come On Feel The Noize." It's pretty noticeable, but that's part of the live experience. It's not perfect. A nice tribute to the late Kevin DuBrow and from Quiet Riot's one big year in the limelight.

For (hair) metal fans of a certain age, this day at the 1983 US Festival was the beginning of a glorious run of bands and songs that would last the better part of the decade. This QR CD/DVD release captures the energy and excitement of the day and the movement that was beginning to sweep the US. For fans of QR, or just the genre in general, I cannot rate this highly enough.

You know it's funny, QR had the shelf life of about 5 minutes, they simply didn't have an arsenal of great songs, but what you heard on the disc is what you heard live. Read more
