The PA system at Port Vale was 100,000 watts strong. The oversized stage took three weeks to construct and according to roadie Ian 'Eagle' Dobbie the PA blew the local substation.
Lemmy said a bloke rang up from 5 miles away to complain he couldn't hear his telly. 🤣🤣

“Black Sabbath are afraid of us blowing them offstage. I’d feel the same in their position”: Lemmy, Ozzy and the story of legendary 80s rock festival the Heavy Metal Holocaust

From that article (what a genius way to resolve the issue!):

"A group of irate elderly locals took out an injunction, attempting to get the Holocaust banned on noise pollution grounds. Curd (the promoter) had a magnificent idea, offering them all a free day trip to Blackpool should all objections be rescinded. Amazingly, it worked. "
