Ozzy Osbourne/Canada 2003 Complete

Ozzy Osbourne in 2003, with his ally Zakk Wylde and Jason Newsted on both wings. A three-disc live album featuring the complete marathon gig, said to be the longest in his career, is now available. This work is recorded from the “June 11, 2003 Toronto performance”. It is a superb audience recording. Robert Trujillo played bass until 2002, but left to join METALLICA. Conversely, Jason, who left METALLICA, joined Ozzy’s band and traded bass. However, Jason only left after the tour. It was also the strongest lineup of the bubble. First, let’s look back at the schedule at that time. {March: Jason Newsted joins} March 14: Las Vegas performance June 1-16: Canada (8 performances) ←★Here★ June 28-August 28: OZZFEST (31 performances) ←※Camden footage {December: Jason leaves} December 5-6: TV appearances This is Ozzy Osbourne in 2003. At the time, the TV program “Osbournes” was a big hit, and tour demand was soaring without even having to make a studio work. Jason joined in early spring and accompanied Ozzy as his right-hand man until the end of the year. The dates can be roughly divided into two, the “Canada” leg, which was a solo tour, and the US version of “OZZFEST”. The Toronto performance of this work is the fifth performance of the “Canada” leg. Speaking of the Jason era, the pro shot of the Camden performance is also famous, but this work was a concert about two months before that. This work recorded at such a show is truly superb. Since real cheers fly between songs, it must be an audience recording, but the essential performance sound is extremely thick and has zero distance. The site, the “Air Canada Center (now Scotiabank Arena)” is supposed to be an indoor stadium with a roof and walls, but the sound is as clear and crisp as if it were outdoors. As mentioned above, there was also a Camden performance pro shot during Jason’s time, but to be honest, this work surpasses the sound board sound (easily). While boasting a sound board-class closeness, it is thicker and more dynamic, and is the best like an FM broadcast with overdubbed cheers on purpose. The close-contact dynamic sound depicts a long full show that is said to be the largest in his career. The above “Canada” leg was a series of long shows, so it is impossible to say for sure whether this work is the only longest memory, but it is certainly different from a normal show. In order to let you experience the volume of the number of songs, let’s organize the set here. Sabbath era (10 songs) – Black Sabbath: The Wizard (★) / N.I.B. (★) – Paranoid: War Pigs / Fairies Wear Boots (★) / Iron Man / Paranoid – Master of Reality: After Forever (★) / Into The Void (★) / Sweet Leaf / Children Of The Grave Randy era (7 songs) – Blizzard of Oz: Mr. Crowley / I Don’t Know / Goodbye To Romance / Suicide Solution / Crazy Train – Diary of a Madman: Believer (★) / Flying High Again After that (8 songs) – No More Tears: No More Tears (★) / I Don’t Want To Change The World / Road To Nowhere / Mama I’m Coming Home – Others: Bark At The Moon (★) / Miracle Man (★) / Fire In The Sky (★) / Gets Me Through (★) *Note: The “★” mark is a song that could not be heard at the 2003 Camden performance pro shot. …And so it is like this. The Camden performance pro shot was about 90 minutes because it was part of OZZFEST, but this work is 2 hours and 47 minutes long. It is a long, long full show commonly known as the “marathon gig” by collectors. Of course, most of the usual standard songs are covered, and a large number of rare songs are also introduced. At that time, BLACK SABBATH reunions were frequently held (or maybe because Jason & Zack wanted it), 10 songs were played, and the middle part of the show was almost full of Sabbath. Moreover, even at the original show, they even showed off “The Wizard” and “After Forever”, which are rare. In addition, the solo repertoire also features “Miracle Man”, which has been a long time since the last time, “Fire In The Sky”, and “Gets Me Through”, which is unique to that time. 25 songs that are surprising that Ozzy remembered all these songs overflow one after another. An all-star band with Jason, the best sound of the soundboard, and a long full show approaching three hours. It is a super entertainment masterpiece with great quality and quantity. Ozzy’s condition is very good as he is able to perform long shows, and in a sense it is a major picture scroll that is the pinnacle of his career. The best audience recording of the “June 11, 2003 Toronto performance” during the Jason Newsted era. The core is also very thick and there is no sense of distance. During the Jason era, there is also a Camden performance pro shot, but it is a superb sound with a close contact and a very thick sound that surpasses the soundboard sound (easily). In the longest show of his career, he performed a total of 25 songs, including “The Wizard”, “After Forever”, “Miracle Man”, “Fire In The Sky”, and many other rare songs. Sound / performance / number of songs … It is a super entertainment masterpiece 3-disc set that is very fulfilling in all aspects.
