He’d only been out of Black Sabbath a couple of years when Ozzy Osbourne formed the now legendary solo band and embarked on his controversial 'Blizzard Of Oz' tour. The rhythm section of bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Tommy Aldridge is rock solid, but it is the innovative and fluid guitar work of Randy Rhoads that makes this period in Osbourne's career so important.
Consisting mostly of material from the first LP, 'Blizzard Of Oz', and what was to be his second album, 'Diary Of A Madman', this show clearly demonstrates the excitement Osbourne was experiencing with his newfound solo project. But what makes this Canadian appearance so special is that it is one of the few professional live recordings made of Randy Rhoads. Ozzy and Sabbath fans alike will love this recording, even though he only does one song from his Sabbath days, the set-closer "Paranoid".
