Ozzy Osbourne/FL, USA 1992 & more

From OZZY OSBOURNE’s 1992 U.S. tour accompanying the release of “NO MORE TEARS”, the long-awaited release of the shocking title that all metal heads must listen to! The “LIVE & LOUD: SOUNDBOARD MASTERS” series is a complete recording of four performances from the live performances that were used as material in Ozzy’s official live album “LIVE & LOUD” released in 1993, using official soundboard sound sources. In this work, “Vol. 2”, the Orlando performance on August 16, 1992 and the Cincinnati performance on August 20, 1992 are packaged into 4 CDs! Fans, please don’t miss out on this year’s best item that rivals that “SPEAK OF THE DEVIL: RITZ 1982 COMPLETE”! Since his album debut as a member of BLACK SABBATH in 1970, Ozzy Osbourne has shown off his fierce lifestyle not only on stage but also in rock’n’roll life. Even after turning solo in 1980, he reigned as the “king of heavy metal” for a long time, following young guitar heroes such as Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, and Zakk Wylde. It was around the time of the album “NO MORE TEARS” that he felt he had reached his limit due to physical and mental fatigue and announced his “retirement from live activities”. The 1992 US tour entitled “NO MORE TOURS” was the culmination of 22 years since their debut, and spectacular stages were held in various locations. The live performance of “NO MORE TOURS” was released as “LIVE & LOUD” in 1993 as an official video and live album. “LIVE & LOUD”, which includes special takes such as BLACK SABBATH’s reunion on the last day of the tour on November 15, 1992, and “Changes” at the Denver performance, is full of special feelings even during Ozzy’s solo career. , is popular as a famous live work. However, this work did not have a detailed recording venue specified in the credits, and was only vaguely known as “produced from a live performance in 1992.” However, the sound source that is said to be the original material for “LIVE & LOUD” suddenly appeared in that “Wolfgang’s Vault”, shocking metal enthusiasts. “Wolfgang’s Vault” is a site that has attracted the attention of rock fans around the world by releasing a large amount of valuable sound sources such as THE ROLLING STONES. This sound source can be said to be the heavy metal version of that. This time, it has been carefully remastered based on that sound source! With “Vol.1” containing the Atlanta and Miami performances, and “Vol.2” containing the Orlando and Cincinnati performances, we will explore the truth behind “LIVE & LOUD”, which is still a mystery. ! On Discs 1 and 2 of this work, you can enjoy the live performance at “Orlando Arena” in Orlando, Florida on August 16th for about 120 minutes. This live was the day when the most takes were adopted for the official live, and it can be said to be the show that became the basis of “LIVE & LOUD” both in name and reality. If you look closely, you can see the first song of the live performance, “Paranoid,” followed by “I Don’t Want To Change The World,” and then “Desire” (this take was also included in the official live sampler single “CHANGES”). In addition to “Mr. Crowley”, “I Don’t Know” and “Road To Nowhere”, they occupy most of the first half of the live performance. Even in the second half of the show, the last song, “Bark At The Moon,” which was the last song in the set, and the last song, “Crazy Train,” are officially recorded, making this a must-listen to get to the bottom of the truth behind “LIVE & LOUD.” I can say that. However, the appeal of this sound source is not just that you can understand the official source material! In addition to the fact that “Carl Orff “Carmina Burana””, which was cut from “LIVE & LOUD”, was included in the intro medley, there are also inter-song MCs that could not be heard in the final version, and the middle part of the live performance that was not included. You can check out the details of the live show that you think you know but don’t know, as if you were peeking in from right next to the stage. The calm mix and sound, which differs from the final version, also makes it easier to hear each member’s playing (Mike Inez’s bass line is also clear). If you listen to this take, you will understand that the members’ play and Ozzy’s vocals were surprisingly used in the official live “as is” form. Among the four “LIVE & LOUD” original sound sources that will appear this time, I declare that this take is the most noteworthy sound source! The following discs 3 and 4 record the August 20th performance at Cincinnati, Ohio’s “Cincinnati Garden” for 122 minutes, the longest in the series. Even in this live show, it is noteworthy that it is recorded from the opening “Ozzy Medley” that could not be heard in “Vol.1”. The sound image was created with the premise of “listening” in mind, such as a spacious sound field, a properly mixed dynamic performance, and the audience’s cheers that let you experience the explosive excitement of “Vol.1” and “Vol. 2” is the most spectacular sound of the four live shows! From this Cincinnati performance, the main feature is that the second half of the live performance is recorded in the official work. In addition to “Goodbye To Romance” where Ozzy’s singing approaches the heart, “Shot In The Dark”, which brought Ozzy a smash hit, and “War Pigs”, a BLACK SABBATH number, were also selected from the same day. You can enjoy excellent performances that leave a lasting impression on the listener. In addition, the encore “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and the opening part of “Crazy Train” from the MC after the same song were also selected to be performed on this day. It’s a shame that the last song “Crazy Train” is missing after just under 3 minutes. Although the MC at the beginning was officially adopted, the main part of the performance was not adopted from the actual Cincinnati performance but from the Orlando performance the day before, as there may be some reason for this missing part (for example, recording trouble). Maybe. By enjoying this work “Vol.2” and the simultaneously released “Vol.1”, everyone can get closer to the truth of “LIVE & LOUD”! It would be no surprise if each of the live performances you can listen to here were officially released separately, it is a definitive super sound board sound source! Above all, this “Vol.2” is full of important takes that can be said to be the core of “LIVE & LOUD”! Not only Ozzy fans, but also avid metal enthusiasts can enjoy plenty of salivating live music that will make your fingers twitch! A 4-disc set that all enthusiasts have been waiting for. Fans should definitely not miss out on this definitive series, which can be said to be one of the best in the history of Ozzy Osbourne’s collector’s items!
