Description
Randy Rhoads, the genius guitarist. Because his career was so short, there are only a handful of videos capturing him in action. Even fewer are proper professional shots; in fact, there is virtually only one. It is the legendary TV program “AFTER HOURS.” This video, which symbolizes Randy’s existence and can now be called a cultural heritage of rock history, has now been given a new definitive version. This release contains, of course, the legendary TV program “AFTER HOURS,” a multi-camera professional shot recorded in Rochester on April 28, 1981. It is an extremely famous video that almost everyone has seen at least once on some occasion, but this release is the best version yet. To commemorate the 45th anniversary, this new version was created by an overseas researcher using the best existing material. Randy’s iconic and only professionally shot footage: There are only three videos of this golden duo, “Ozzy & Randy,” which are audience shots of “PALLADIUM 1981 THE VIDEO EXPANDED” and “ROSEMONT 1982,” as well as “AFTER HOURS.” Since this is a good opportunity, let’s examine the relationship between each of them based on their activities at the time. 1980 “BLIZZARD OF OZZ Tour” (B Daisley, L Kerslake, L Bridgewater) – September 3rd to November 8th: UK (37 shows) 1981 (R Sarzo, T Aldridge, L Bridgewater) – April 22nd to July 28th: North America #1a (61 shows) ←★HERE★ – August 1st: Appeared at HM HOLOCAUST – August 2nd to September 13th: North America #1b (33 shows) “DIARY OF A MADMAN Tour” – November 1st to December 2nd: Europe (11 shows) (R Sarzo, T Aldridge, D Ailey) – December 30th + 31st: North America #2a (2 shows) 1982 – January 1st to March 18th: North America #2b (45 shows) ←※ROSEMONT 1982 Randy Rhoads passed away on March 19th. This is the story of the days Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads shared. ‘ROSEMONT 1982’ was released as part of “North America #2b” shortly before his death, but ‘PALLADIUM 1981 THE VIDEO EXPANDED’ and this film were part of “North America #1a,” the same release as ‘TRIBUTE’. Let’s take a closer look at the dates. Details of “North America #1a” – April 22nd-26th (5 shows) * April 28th: Appearance in “AFTER HOURS” ←★This work★ – April 29th-May 1st (3 shows) * May 2nd “PALLADIUM 1981 THE VIDEO EXPANDED” – May 3rd-10th (6 shows) – May 11th: Cleveland performance ←※Official Tribute – May 13th-July 27th (40 shows) – July 28th: Montreal performance ←※Official Tribute …and so on. This work’s appearance in “AFTER HOURS” is one of the very early acts of the US leg that began on April 22nd. It is a record from before the two performances at the same venue that produced the masterpiece “PALLADIUM 1981”, and the Cleveland performance that became the audio source for the official “TRIBUTE”. The ultimate master using the best existing footage As mentioned at the beginning, the only professional shots from Randy’s era are essentially this “AFTER HOURS.” That’s why this footage has been repeatedly watched and talked about by countless fans, and continues to be the “face” that conveys Randy’s image to this day. This work is a new definitive edition that has polished this one-of-a-kind footage into the best form that exists. So, what kind of ultimate master is it? Let’s explain step by step. First, the video. Overseas researchers have carefully selected the best existing footage, and the image quality is of the highest quality, comparable to the official DVD. What’s also great is that there is nothing superfluous on the screen, and it is wide to the corners. There are no text overlays such as song titles or place names that are common in current official DVDs and recent streaming versions, so you can enjoy the screen in its original state. Synchronized with the FM broadcast version which is wider than the TV broadcast Even more noteworthy than the beauty of the video is the audio. In addition to the TV broadcast version of “AFTER HOURS,” there is also an FM broadcast version, and this release meticulously synchronizes the FM version with the professionally shot video. This FM broadcast version is known for being wider and higher quality than the TV broadcast, and this release combines the finest video and the finest audio. Because it is a cultural heritage video indispensable to the history of rock, it is meaningful to meticulously refine it down to the smallest detail to create the “best possible version that exists.” Furthermore, this release is the complete version of the program. As you know, this program broadcast four songs: “I Don’t Know,” “Suicide Solution,” “Mr. Crowley,” and “Crazy Train,” but interviews with Ozzy, who had gone solo, were also inserted in between. Nowadays, it is more common to watch each song separately like a music video, but this release is a complete reproduction of the program in its original broadcast form. Approximately 25 minutes, here is the original form of “AFTER HOURS.” Randy Rhoads left behind only limited video footage. When discussing him, “AFTER HOURS” has always been a must-mention. This new definitive edition is a fitting tribute to its 45th anniversary. It is a top-of-the-line master compiled from the best existing materials by passionate overseas fans. A cultural heritage that symbolizes the genius guitarist. This is the newest and most complete master of the legendary TV program “AFTER HOURS,” the only professional-shot footage from the Randy Rhoads era. Created by overseas researchers using the best existing materials, the picture quality is comparable to the official DVD, but it is raw footage without embellishments such as song title captions. The audio is synchronized with the FM broadcast version, which has a wider frequency range than the TV broadcast version. The interview in the middle of the program, which is often cut, is also included in its complete, restored form. This is the definitive 45th-anniversary edition that allows you to enjoy Randy’s iconic cultural heritage in the best possible form. Rochester, New York, USA 28th April 1981 PRO-SHOT UPGRADE!!
