Ozzy Osbourne,Bernie Torme/MA,USA 1982

News of Bernie Thome’s sudden passing. This week, the new master “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1982)” released by the prestigious “Krw_co” in memory of him will also appear, and we have prepared yet another masterpiece recording. This is an emergency release decision. Included in that masterpiece is “April 2, 1982 Boston Performance”. This is a valuable audience recording. Bernie performed with Ozzy for only seven performances. I will leave the details to the explanation of “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1982”, but first let’s check the position of the show on that schedule. [March 19th: Randy Rhoads passed away] × March 20th-30th: 8 performances canceled ・April 1st: Bethlehem (Bernie’s first day) ・April 2nd: Boston [This work] ・April 3rd : New Haven ・April 5th “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1982” ・April 6th: Providence ・April 9th: Buffalo ・April 10th: Rochester (Burney’s last day) ・April 13th: Binghamton (Blood’s first day) ) This is the flow from the death of Randy Rhoads to Brad Gilles’ first stage. “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1982” was a highlight show even in the foamy Barney era, but the Boston performance of this work was the second concert of the show. The quality is a wonderful vintage sound. Although visibility and clarity are standard audience recordings at the time, the contours of the performance can be clearly grasped and the balance is well-balanced, allowing you to clearly hear Ozzy’s singing and Barney’s guitar. Above all, the recording directly conveys the excitement of the venue, and is overflowing with the vivid sense of presence that is typical of a live commentary board. According to reviews from overseas fans who actually saw the show that day, the venue was packed to capacity and Ozzy was stirring up the crowd as always as a madman. Indeed, the audience’s reaction from the opening “Over The Mountain” was tremendous, and the situation is depicted realistically. In particular, the loud cheers of the audience at the beginning of “Mr, Crowley” are a spectacle in themselves. In “Crazy Train,” the entire band exploded with a dynamic performance that seemed to collide with the audience. In fact, “Crazy Train” is a riff that Bernie would pick up in his own live shows even after he went solo. It seems that the song was very impressive to him as well. And in “Revelation” and “Steal Away” Barney’s cutting guitar plays a big role. It’s hard to believe that he just joined the band, and it’s amazing how he’s able to color these songs with his own sound. Even in “Suicide Solution” and the guitar solo that follows, Bernie, who is devoted to Jimi Hendrix, plays heavy and rough, incorporating feedback throughout. For Ozzy, the band members, and many fans, this felt like shaking off Randy’s shadow, and it may have led to the image that he was not suitable for the band. However, Bernie’s style of playing his own game, even against his great predecessors, is what a professional should be. In fact, it may be that the later arrangements of Brad and Jake E. Lee were accepted precisely because Bernie embodied it first. Originally, “Goodbye To Romance” is played following this, but it is missing, perhaps due to a tape change, and unfortunately the first half of “I Don’t Know” is not recorded. . However, after that, everything from “Believer” to the encore “Paranoid” is well recorded, and you can thoroughly enjoy the series of heavy numbers that suit Barney’s guitar. “OZZY OSBOURNE in the Bernie Thome era” still has many unknown parts. This is a live album where you can enjoy a show that is a valuable record just by its existence, with wonderful sound. His and Ozzy’s highlight performance is “MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1982”, but just one performance would be a “point”. Even in a short period of time, the ensemble has evolved so quickly in each performance that it can only be understood as a “line”. A live album immediately after participating, which is necessary to draw that “line”. Live at Boston Garden, Boston, MA. USA 2nd April 1982 TRULY AMAZING SOUND 1. Over The Mountain 2. Mr. Crowley 3.
