Fans reflect on the 30th anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne's thrilling 1996 concert at RPI's Houston Field House in Troy, New York.
On January 27, 1996, the legendary Ozzy Osbourne rolled into the Collar City for a headlining concert at the RPI Houston Field House. Ahead of the 30th anniversary of Ozzy’s first and only performance in Troy, asked fans to contribute memories for a special retrospective looking back at this exciting moment in Troy’s heavy metal history—and you didn’t disappoint!
The triple bill of Osbourne, Korn, and Life of Agony attracted a nearly-sold out crowd to the Field House that cold January evening in the Collar City, the first major concert at the venue in four years. It was an exciting evening of music, moshing, and even a few manic Ozzy fans who took things to the extreme.
With the help of recently-rediscovered concert video from the show, we revisit this thrilling show with the help of stories from countless fans there that night in Troy.
