Ozzy Osbourne/GA, 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.1”, the Atlanta performance on August 5, 1992 and the Miami performance on August 14, 1992 are packaged into 4 CDs! Please don’t miss out on this year’s best item, which is comparable to the masterpiece “SPEAK OF THE DEVIL: RITZ 1982 COMPLETE”, which caused a huge response among fans immediately after its release the other day! 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. ! Discs 1 and 2 completely record the August 5th performance in Atlanta, Georgia for 117 minutes. From the first song “Paranoid” onwards, the balance and breadth of the sound is amazing. While focusing on Ozzy’s high-tension singing, you can also enjoy Zack’s dynamic guitar and the thick rhythms of Mike Inez and Randy Castillo with an ideal balance of power and ease of listening. Also, in ’82’s “SPEAK OF THE DEVIL: RITZ 1982 COMPLETE”, the cheers in the venue, which were a little off, are mixed in just the right way, and the listening response is also perfect. Furthermore, being able to properly check the keyboard of Kevin Jones, who only participated in this ’92 tour, is a major point of this work. A total of three tracks, “Flying High Again”, “Miracle Man” and the drum solo, have been officially adopted from this live performance. This is a small category among the four officially recorded live performances, but on the other hand, you can fully enjoy unknown live performances such as “tracks that cannot be heard in the final version” and Ozzy’s inter-song MC. In particular, after playing “I Don’t Want To Change The World,” the excitement of the scene where Ozzy MCs, “This show is being recorded for a live album,” is a famous scene that you should definitely experience. This part was also included in “LIVE & LOUD” with some editing)! And on Discs 3 and 4, you can enjoy the live performance at “Miami Arena” in Miami, Florida on August 14th for 114 minutes with a perfect stereo sound board like the Atlanta performance. The take here has a more direct feel than the Atlanta performance, capturing the performance with a vivid impression of direct connection to the line. The cheers in the venue are a bit modest, so you can enjoy the band’s powerful and enthusiastic performances with great force! Of course, Ozzy’s vocals are the main character, but the one who shines above all else in this live is Zakk Wylde himself. His guitar has a superb sound, from the tone to the pleasant distortion, and will captivate all listeners. In addition to the rushing “Desire” and “Bark At The Moon,” the powerful “Road To Nowhere” and heartwarming “Mama, I’m Coming Home” are exquisite. To appreciate his guitar, there is nothing more suitable than this take from today! “Zack was amazing on this day.” Perhaps the production team felt the same way, and on that day, Zack’s guitar solo, “Suicide Solution” and “No More Tears” were selected for the official live performance (completed). The guitar solo part, which was about 4 minutes in the version, can of course be heard in full for 10 minutes here). This Miami performance is the “Zack version” of “LIVE & LOUD” and is a must-listen live source for all guitar freaks! In this work “Vol. 1”, the characteristics are clearly color-coded: the Atlanta performance, where you can enjoy a well-balanced live spectacle, and the Miami performance, where you can enjoy the vivid band sound centered on Zack’s guitar. Since the songs performed live are the same, listeners will be able to enjoy the different performances and sounds even more each day!
