Monsters of Rock 1990
This item is the official programme for the Monsters of Rock concert on Saturday 18th August 1990, held at Donington Park, England, UK.
The programme is in great condition and is now 20 years old.
Some info of that memorable day;
Lineup: Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Poison, Quireboys, Thunder
After a year spent in hiatus in order to recover after the two deaths that occurred during Guns N' Roses set in 1988, the festival was back, hopefully more secure and safer overall for the most important element of the show the audience. Fortunately the weather was excellent this year so the ground would be solid underfoot, there was supposed to have been a re-designing of the arena so the stage would not be at the bottom of a slope , which had contributed to the problems in 1988, with the front of stage area becoming unduly slippery underfoot. However, site maps indicate the stage was in the same position as in 1988, but this may have been a mistake, or re-orientation might have taken place that was not visible on a map.
This lineup was quite strong, Whitesnake were returning to the festival for their third appearance, the second time as headliners. They had first appeared in 1981 supporting AC/DC and had headlined in their own right in 1983.
Aerosmith were making their first appearance at Donington, having played at Reading a year or so before, they were many fans favourite band of the day and were generally a potent live act.
Support bands Thunder, the Quireboys and Poison all went down pretty well, not surprising really as all three were solid blues rock bands that were designed to appeal to the Aerosmith fans as well as the Whitesnake afficionadoes out there. There were no bands that broke the mould in 1990, all quite predictable . Thunder did very well for an opening act, who were usually bottledm the crowd went ape for them. The entire show was recorded by Radio One and big chunks were also filmed as well.
