Ozzy Osbourne/IL,USA 1982

Randy Rhoads is an incredible genius. The best live album to experience his last tour has been decided to be released. This work includes “January 24, 1982 Chicago Performance”. It was the best audience recording recorded about two months before Randy passed away, and it was also the live performance where the jacket photo of that “TRIBUTE” was taken. First of all, let’s check the position of the show from the progress at that time. 1980《“BLIZZARD OF OZZ” released on September 12》・September 3-November 8: UK (37 performances) 1981《Bob/Lee changed to Rudy/Tommy》・April 22-7 August 29th: North America #1a (61 performances) August 1st: HM HOLOCAUST appearance August 2nd – September 13th: North America #1b (33 performances)《“DIARY OF A MADMAN” released on November 7th 》・November 1st – December 2nd: Europe (11 performances)《Lindsay Bridgewater → Don Airey》・December 30th + 31st: North America #2a (2 performances) January 1st, 1982 Sunday – March 18th: North America #2b (44 performances) ←★Coco★ [Randy Rhoads passed away on March 19th] This is Ozzy Osbourne in the Randy era. The Chicago performance of this work was the 16th concert of the final leg “North America #2b”. This work recorded at that show has been known as a masterpiece recording that represents Randy’s later years. As for why I’ve been representing them, the reason is, of course, sound. The most amazing thing is the direct feeling. It absorbs real enthusiasm, so there is no mistaking it for a sound board, but the close contact of the thick core and the sharpness of the edges, which do not feel the distance, are comparable to FM broadcasts. When it comes to audience recording, the sound of the snare tends to create a sparse feeling, but it is also very responsive. There is some hall noise, but it is a type that creates dynamism of thickness rather than distance or turbidity. This is just a guess, but maybe this recording is a collection of masters who made a name for themselves in 2020. The master is “HOT OFF THE HEADS PRODUCTION”. A recording artist who released a large amount of exquisite recordings to collectors around the world who are restricted from going out due to the coronavirus pandemic. Their masterpieces dominated the headlines in the first half of 2020, but in terms of British HR/HM, JUDAS PRIEST & IRON MAIDEN’s famous album “DEFINITIVE CHICAGO 1982” was particularly strong. And, this person mainly recorded from 1982 to 1985, and the main battleground was Chicago… exactly perfect for the sound characteristics, venue, and era of this work. It’s just a guess without any proof, but I don’t think it’s at all strange if it’s one of those top-notch collections. This work is also such a famous recording. And, what is depicted with such direct sound is a show unique to 1982 that is a little different from “TRIBUTE”. Let’s post it here.・Sabbath number: Iron Man / Children Of The Grave / Paranoid ・BLIZZARD OF OZZ: Mr. Crowley / Crazy Train / Revelation (Mother Earth) / Steal Away (The Night) / Suicide Solution / Goodbye To Romance / I Don’t Know /No Bone Movies ・DIARY OF A MADMAN: Over The Mountain (★) /Believer/Flying High Again *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on “TRIBUTE”. …and it looks like this. While “Diary Of A Madman” announced the start of the show, the show started with “Over The Mountain”, which cannot be heard on “TRIBUTE”. After that, the show progresses in a completely different flow from “TRIBUTE” with “Mr. Crowley” → “Crazy Train” → “Revelation (Mother Earth)”. This work is all about the on-site feel. Place yourself in a space where Randy’s beautiful melody dances and Ozzy howls, immersing yourself in the natural feeling of the scene, each one vivid. It is a live album where you can experience the best experience of the jacket of that “TRIBUTE”. A masterpiece recording representing Randy’s later years.
