The Screaming Jets played their first show with new drummer Steve Holland at Rock Am Ring. Many media outlets have reported that the fill in drummer after Brad Heaney departed was former Judas Priest drummer Dave Holland but this is incorrect.
These photos are from Steve’s website at : https://stevehollanddrumtuition.com/about-steve
The Screaming Jets actually opened the show and also closed the show at the request of the promoter. Def Leppard state on their website that this show was their first ever European headlining festival in their career but didn’t actually close the show….

The Jets played their first show back home after 7 months away with a ‘secret’ show at Springfields as the first Aussie show for new drummer Craig Rosevear. They were billed as ‘Roy Rodgers and the Dirt Track Cowboys’. They played FRC and Aint No Fun as the encore’s.

The changes kept coming for the Jets with Jimi ‘the human’ Hocking recruited to the ‘Helping Hand’ tour for a short time while Richard Lara was still recovering from an illness he had picked up in the USA. At the time, this was always intended to be for a short time.
The Jets played one warm-up gig in Lismore before their first official show with new touring members Rosevear and Hocking as the Screaming Jets in Wangaratta.

In one of the strangest gigs in the Jets story, Richard Lara turned up unbeknown to the band to do this show and played on stage as the third guitarist and then disappeared again. This would be the last Jets show for Richie who officially announced he had left the band in January 1994.
