The many performances that Ozzy Osbourne performed live while he was with Randy Rhoads are all filled with one-of-a-kind brilliance. Among them, the main item is the band's rhythm section of Tommy Aldochidge and Rudy Sarzo, and from the fall of 1980 under the band name "BLIZZARD OF OZZ" to the 1981 album that solidified as Ozzy's solo band in both name and name. This is the sound source. Most of this '81 was spent on a live tour in America, so naturally excellent items are also concentrated there. On the other hand, this work "WILD RHOADS" is a valuable piece that can be enjoyed with two performances of the British tour held at the end of 1981 after the release of "DIARY OF A MADMAN", both with high quality sound. This work is from the 1981 UK tour, which had a total of 13 performances (one theory says 14 performances) from November 29th to December 26th, and the second performance at Cardiff's "Sophia Gardens" on November 30th. is recorded on Disc 1, and the Liverpool "Royal Court" performance held on December 1st the next day is recorded on Disc 2, each based on a high-quality master. Both sound sources are recorded with a freshness and brightness that convinces you of master quality, and the rich sense of presence is full of the deliciousness that can only be found on live tapes. Furthermore, I'm happy to be able to hear Randy's guitar play very clearly, and Ozzy mania is a must-listen. The Cardiff performance recorded on Disc 1 starts with “Flying High Again”, which was played as the second live song due to the master’s convenience. Live performances in the United States around the same time had a strong "show" element, and the loud performances in large venues entertained the listeners with a wild and dynamic sound that was "very Ozzy". On the other hand, this UK tour featured many traditional small and medium-sized venues, giving it a strong feel of a "listen to performance" concert. This recording also reflects this, with a sound image that allows you to listen to the band's performance carefully. Particularly in "Crazy Train" and "Mr. Crowley," both the band and the audience seemed to be enjoying the musical sounds, and the close atmosphere between the stage and the audience was irresistible! From "Revelation (Mother Earth)" to "Suicide Solution" in the middle of the live performance, the contrast between the beautiful melody carefully woven by Randy's guitar and the heavy sound is wonderful. Unfortunately, only a portion of the live highlight “Paranoid” is recorded, but you can enjoy the powerful encore that is unique to this time, where “Steal Away (The Night)” is played separately. This recording is an important 50 minutes both for entertainment and as a material! What you can listen to on Disc 2 is the Liverpool performance the day after the Cardiff performance. This also has a sound quality comparable to Disc 1, and has achieved a recording that is enjoyable to listen to, centering on Randy's guitar. This recording allows you to almost completely confirm the set of the day from “Over The Mountain” which was not recorded on Disk 1. Ozzy seems to be a little tired, but Randy plays more solidly than the previous day, and the solos that are closely watched in “Flying High Again” and “Believer” can enjoy wonderful plays. The listening place for this day was “Crazy Train”. In the intro, you can hear a rare scene where Randy, Tommy, and Rudy's rhythms don't match, and the song starts off in a broken manner. Perhaps motivated to recover from this accident, Randy's play during the song is more fulfilling than usual, and you can't help but fall in love with the sharpness and beauty of the solo. Furthermore, after “I Don’t Know”, it is also a nice feature that you can listen to “No Bone Movies”, which was not played the previous day. From the live highlight “Revelation (Mother Earth)” to “Suicide Solution”, “Paranoid”, which concludes the main part of the set, was of course completely recorded on this day (the guitar solo here is a must-listen). They rush through until the encore “Steal Away (The Night)”! The stage is less than an hour long on both days, but the set list has a sense of unity by reducing the BLACK SABBATH number that Randy secretly said he was not very enthusiastic about, and summarizing Ozzy's solo songs other than "Paranoid". This work is a 2-disc set that is a must-have for Ozzy mania, packaging a rare set with high quality sound for the '81 tour. If you are a fan and haven't heard it yet, please take this opportunity to get this work!
