oh my gosh....I was a senior in high school and loved the oz....I tried to get tickets! sold out early!!! He was awesome. Parents hated him, class of 1981 loved him.
@PurpleSnowFox Bob and Lee only played live with Ozzy on his short British tour, his first solo tour ever. They were replaced before Ozzy started his first U.S. tour. So any footage you see from the U.S. or Canada will always be with Rudy and Tommy
YES THIS IS COMING OUT MAY 31ST ON DVD WITH THE CAMERA THAT TAPED IT FROM THE FRONT ROW! I AM PSYCHED TO GET IT, GOOD QUALITY FOOTAGE OF RANDY ON TOUR FINALLY
@buzzsaw177 I remember being totally stoked about this show as it was the first leg of the tour and we all couldn't wait to see Randy. Needless to say it was amazing...Ozzy, Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge were all on top of their game but of course the highlight was Randy! When I first saw this vid I could not believe that it was from my show..brought back a lot of memories. I remember that Les Paul and his poka dot V and just being mezmorized knowing I was seeing something really special.
@buzzsaw177 I have been to over 300 concerts (I'm 47) I have vivid memories of this show. I have the ticket stub right in front of me as I type this- Row H seat 3 center orchestra! I was 17 in 1981 and this was my 10th concert. I had previously seen AC/DC with Bon Scott in '79 at the garden, Priest and Maiden with Paul Di'Anno at the Pallidum a year before this show amongst others. This like those shows is a piece of rock history that I feel very fortunate to have been part of.
@buzzsaw177 Tommy Aldridge was a monster on the drums. I remember he had this way of swinging his arms over his head that was amazing. Rudy constantly played with his right hand over the top of his bass neck, also way cool. It was a show I will never forget. They just dont make 'em like that anymore. Randy's death was a loss to the music world that can never be replaced. Those tracks still blow me away every time I hear (and now watch) them..Thanks to the poster for these great vids!
Zakk Wylde said the Ozzy camp is working on a Randy show for future release and speculated its this one. Seeing this show in a pro-shot form... That would be killer.
@62SG Do you know when it will be released... I think it was released in UK on December, 22... That is the last bit of info on a release date I have heard...
My ticket to see Randy on the DOAM Tour was 3 weeks to late. Had tickets to see Randy at the old Capitol theatre in Passaic NJ on the Blizzard Tour, but was grounded for bad grades. Remember to study kids .
I had a chance to see Motley Crue a few years but got into a fight with my big sister who had the tickets...RESPECT YOUR SIBLINGS TOO KIDS! (Especially if your 21 like I was at the time and should've known better!)
@zeplinnell Funny same thing happened to me.... I had tickets for diary concert but they were taken away two days before the concert because of bad grades, this was in new jersey also!
Last i heard the guy that filmed this does have the whole show.... sources from japan state that he was killed in an auto crash and the tape has been lost forever or thrown out by family not knowing what was on it. I beleive it otherwise the whole show would of been on youtube long ago.
on the super 8 tape this was recorded on, as with a lot of super 8 film at the time, the play back is slightly faster. thus the pitch of the sound is actually raised, slightly. listen to the bat's head soup or tribute album for the correct speed. nonetheless, rr & ozzy [as with msot bands] did play all things slightly faster in concert.
i would like to start a project to trace back the old rr/ozzy videos to the actual person who filmed them. there is a strong chance he has more stuff!
heres some info ud like to know i guess. there were some professionally recorded stuff, ozzy r whoever owned them gave them to vh1 to do a documentary on, and vh1 "lost" them. i say we raid ever vh1 place in the us till we find it! lol. but chances are many diff guys recorded these things. but im sure if u found them, theyd have more. the easiest thing is to track this vid and find the first post of it where it originated, then contact the uploader.
thank god the person behind the camera knew to keep randy in the sot the whole time thanks for the awesome video of randy people like you keep him alive in our hearts and souls - rip randy rhoads
EVH avoided talking about Rhoads quite a bit almost annoyed having him mentioned or asked about during his(EVH's)interviews.I read somewhere that Randy confided in his close musician friendsthat he thought that George Lynch was a much better player than EVH.
You Tube just removed the 2 really cool Mr. Crowley 'picture disc' EP Tracks that were posted. You can still leave messages, if you have it book-marked the old fashion way, click on the Picts above left.
randy could play circles around eddie van halen. randy rhoads was a sweet, mellow, humble guy who had a pure passion for music. he never had the attitude or the ego that eddie van halen has. randy was the best guitar player ever. hands down.
Guitar Player Magazine Just had a Poll for the 40 Best Rock Metal Live Albums and there was not even an honorable mention for Tribute! Absolute Stupidity. 20 Years ago Tribute Won Best Rock Guitar Album.
Hendrix Halen and Rhoads I know eddie breathed a sigh of relieve when he didnt have to compete with Randy :)Not only did Randy have the chops he was a very melodic guitarist unlike Halen.
I was at this concert in May of '81. Ozzy played two shows that night and Motorhead opened both shows. I had front row dead center for the first show. What an experience! I was mobbed!
He is two guitarists in 1 his guitar work was fast clean and his switching was fast and smooth.I will never forget the day Randy died.After all this time I still think about him a lot.He was truly the best.
Randy was way over the top.Most guys can go fast but with no feel, Randy just pushes the guitar around and throws every lick, feel and tone imaginable in to a song. Ozzy had to feel like this was Utopia.Cause Black Sabbath was heavy but very elemantary.Thanks for the video.
WHo cares about the quality of this video. This is VERY HARD to find stuff on Randy Rhoads. As a matter of fact anyone out there with decent condition Rqandy footage of this concert please comment below and ill respond. Im looking for anything Randy rhoads. Mainly concert footage like this thanks !Hope this is ok to post this request. If not I apologize and take it off the board. It is a request for Randy material thats it.
I agree man, 3dEnthusiast, it would be better if you cleaned up your wording! A video shot from the audiance is going to be lousy, granted. Considering the vantage point, I'd say it's better than most!
can't complain here, as far as I'm concerned slash is good but I have never seen a les paul put sounds like that out. he was and is the man hands down. revolutionary,? Randy I miss you every day. NO ONE WILL EVER TOUCH THAT no one
