Ozzy Osbourne/CA,USA 11.18.1991

In 1991, Ozzy Osbourne’s “NO MORE TEARS” became the biggest hit of his career, along with “BLIZZARD OF OZZ.” A new excavation live album is now available that tells the story of the scene where he rose to great heights even though he announced his retirement. What is infused into this work is “Universal City performance on November 18, 1991″. This is an exquisite audience recording. Speaking of the “NO MORE TEARS” era, the retirement tour “NO MORE TOURS” is famous, but before that, a tour titled “THEATRE OF MADNESS Tour” was also held, which was in two stages. In order to understand the situation, let’s look back at the schedule at that time. 1991 “THEATER OF MADNESS Tour”・January 11th-20th: UK (4 performances)・February 8th: Long Beach performance《“NO MORE TEARS” released on September 17》《October: John Sinclair Departure → Kevin Jones replaced》・October 5th: Los Angeles performance・October 28th-November 5th: Japan (6 performances)・November 12th-30th: North America #1 (13 performances)←★Here ★1992 January 5th – February 17th: North America #2 (26 performances) February 24th – March 20th: Europe (16 performances) March 28th – April 5th: North America #2 3 (4 performances)《May: Kevin Jones leaves → John Sinclair returns》“NO MORE TOURS Tour” ・June 9th – July 4th: North America #4 (17 performances) ・August 14th – 11th March 15th: North America #5 (46 performances) This is Ozzy Osbourne in 1991/1992. At the beginning of 1991, they played a few practice gigs and released “NO MORE TEARS”. Keyboardist John Sinclair left to join THE CULT’s tour, and started the tour with Kevin Jones in his place. After that, Sinclair returned after spending about six months on circuits in Japan, North America, and Europe. The only US tour that took place over the summer/autumn of 1992 was the “NO MORE TOURS Tour”. The Universal City performance of this work is at the beginning of the tour. This was the fifth concert of “North America #1″. This work recorded at such a show has a clear sound that penetrates the chest with a clear atmosphere. In fact, there is no close contact that can be mistaken for a sound board, and it is the type that realistically absorbs the audience’s enthusiasm. However, because the atmosphere is so transparent, the performance reaches every corner clearly. Anyway, the outline of each note stands out clearly, and the bass line, which tends to be fluffy, is also clear. Zack’s harmonics and every word of Ozzy’s lyrics are extremely vivid. What is depicted in that clear sound is the full show of “THEATER OF MADNESS Tour”, which is different from the official work “LIVE & LOUD”. Let’s compare and organize them here. Sabbath (3 songs) ・Paranoid: War Pigs／Paranoid ・VOL.4: Snowblind (★) Randy Era (6 songs) ・Blizzard of Oz: Mr. Crowley／I Don’t Know／Goodbye to Romance／Suicide Solution /Crazy Train・Diary of a Madman: Flying High Again Jake era (2 songs)・Bark at the Moon・Crime and Punishment: Shot in the Dark Zack era (4 songs)・No Rest・For the Wicked: Miracle Man/No More Tears: Desire/I Don’t Want to Change the World/No More Tears *Note: Songs marked with a ★ are not available on the official version of LIVE & LOUD. …and it looks like this. “LIVE & LOUD” started with “Paranoid” and was a surprise, with “BLIZZARD OF OZZ” and “NO MORE TEARS” being the two main tracks, but perhaps because this work is in the early stages of the tour, there are still some bold new songs. It’s not important. Starting with “Bark at the Moon”, the 80’s style is centered around “BLIZZARD OF OZZ”. On the other hand, “Snowblind”, the first since “SPEAK OF THE DEVIL”, is delicious. When you hear “Snowblind,” you get the impression that it’s a major Sabbath song, but it’s actually surprisingly valuable. Although it was certainly a staple in the 70s and Sabbath reunions, it has never been played by any Sabbath band other than Ozzy, and Ozzy’s only solo regular set was on the “THEATER OF MADNESS Tour” (We Japan For people, the performance at “OZZFEST JAPAN 2015” is memorable, but that was an extremely rare exception). In this work, you can enjoy “Snowblind” sung by Ozzy and played by Zack in clear detail. Furthermore, the enthusiasm of the scene is one of the delicious aspects of this work. No, it’s really exciting. Ozzy has always been the king of the metal world, but his commercial peak was in 1991/1992. At the scene of this work, that passionate and vast support is clearly visible. The large audience rejoiced at the title of each song, sang the chorus, and responded to the call and response with all their might. During Zack’s guitar solo, he howls at the moon a lot (lol), and the “Fuck you!!!” shout that shakes the venue at Zack’s instigation is very powerful. Of course, the performance sound is powerful enough to cut through such cheers and chants, but it is also a song that is overwhelmed by the degree to which Ozzy is loved as he regrets parting. This work is a music album where you can enjoy the precious “Snowblind” with crisp performances at its peak, but it is also a document that touches your heart with tremendous enthusiasm. “NO MORE TOURS II” will not be restarted until 2022, but this new masterpiece is more than enough to cure that thirst. Exquisite audience recording of “November 18, 1991 Universal City Performance”. It’s a clear recording that lets you feel the clear air, and the outline of each note stands out clearly, and the bass line, which tends to be fluffy, is also clear. Zack’s harmonics and every single word of Ozzy’s lyrics are wonderfully vivid recordings. It is a new masterpiece that allows you to clearly enjoy “Snowblind (since SPEAK OF THE DEVIL)”, which is at its peak popularity and cannot be heard on “LIVE & LOUD”.
