Synopsis

Amazon.com
Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist Randy Rhoads was a technical genius on his instrument, but that's only half the story. Rhoads shaped the direction of Osbourne's first two post-Sabbath recordings, Diary of a Madman and Blizzard of Ozz, which still stand as his best solo studio albums. Rhoads also was capable of pulling the best out of Osbourne onstage, a notable accomplishment in itself. This live set was released five years after Rhoads's death in a bizarre plane accident, and it's still a striking reminder of what was lost. Osbourne and company run through the Blizzard album in its entirety, adding a few tunes from Diary plus the Sabbath classics "Iron Man," "Children of the Grave," and "Paranoid." The highlights are Rhoads's guitar freakout on "Suicide Solution" and studio outtakes of his solo acoustic showcase, "Dee." --Daniel Durchholz

CD Reviews

Where's the Revelation?
adam crowe | Urbana, IL | 05/20/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"First off this is a great CD. Anybody who loves great guitar playing, especially great LIVE guitar playing, will love this album. Randy Rhoads was a really great guitar player that had a big impact on 80's guitar playing and that whole shredder attitude. The soloing on all the songs are exceptional, highlights including:Crazy Train, Mr.Crowley, and Suicide Solution with one of the most memorable unaccompanied guitar solos ever. But after scanning the other reviews, I saw very little comments about Revelation Mother Earth. This is one of the best songs on the album and the solo is damn great! The only downer is the Dee outtakes which are just boring until he really gets to some playing. But this is a great CD for some great Randy Rhoads, some great Ozzy vocals, and early 80's hard rock at its best."

Lets clear a few things up

"ok, first off, this album is amazing, and i highly recommend it. Now to clear up a few things about it. This album was not simply a moneymaking scheme of Ozzy's. At first he didn't want to release it because he felt it would be taken as such, but after talking to randy's wife, and in response to the plethora of fan letters, he decided to release it. Second, this album is dedicated to randy rhoads (obviously) and so only contains material with randy playing. Unfortunately, this collection is the entirety of live perfomances of randy's recorded with ozzy (legally), and that's why the tracklist is what it is. SO NO MORE COMPLAINING!"
