I grew up on the Ozzy Sabbath years back in the day, I grew away from the band and never freally followed Ozzy's solo stuff beyond blizzard ofoz or tribute.
But this disc is total fun. Ozzy and the band play it hard. All the essential Sabbath cuts are here. I really enjoy the bass and drum combo of Sarzo and Aldridge.
It gives a fresh shot in the arm to the music. Brad Gillis was excellent. Ozzy, is Ozzy an icon, sounded like he really enjoyed the gigs.
I'm no Ozzy/Sabbath pure fan but I know to me it rocks and sounds good. |

| This Concert was recorded shortly after the untimely death of guitar phenom Randy Rhodes. With the rest of "The blizzard of Ozz" Ozzy's band is in prime form. Ozzy hires California guitar ace Brad Gillis " Night Ranger " to fill the huge shoes of Randy Rhodes. Gillis does a very good job of learning and performing this set list of old Sabbath classics. From the first track "Symtom of the Universe" the Ozz-man is hitting every note with great timber and power. Tommy Aldridges powerfull drums w/ Rudy Sarzo "Quiet Riot" rumbling bass the music is very close to the original Sabbath sound. What makes this cd a must have is, the set list including b-sides like Never say die,Snow blind, Symtom of the universe, the Wizard, and classics like Faries wear boots etc. The only downside is the versions of Sabbath bloody sabbath,and Children of the grave,which lack the power of "Iommi/Butlers" true tune the guitar down to achieve the heavy tone. All in all Ozzy sounds great " better than RR tribute" and the mix is nice and hot. |

| I actually have a cassette tape of the first live (post crash) gig that was simulcast from Memphis, that had all the current "Ozzy" hits, instead of these "Sabbath remakes", THAT IS THE SHOW THAT NEEDS TO GET RELEASED!!! (GET OFF OF THAT ONE SHARON!) I found a bootleg, but it lacks the recording quality of this album. Randy Rhoades was a true genius, but Brag Gillis was sitting in the front row of that class as well!! .... Kenny Holton |

| Easily Ozzy's best live CD. Brad Gillis is tremendous! I like his renditions of the songs better than Tony Iommi's and that is saying a lot. I went through two cassette tapes and couldn't find the CD in stores although I looked for several years. Finally bought it on Amazon. Never get tired of listening to this CD. |

I remember when I used to deliver papers as a kid listening to the cassette of this album. Remember the Walkman?? Ah the days....
Anyway, in my opinion, this is some of Ozzy's greatest work. While I am not usually a fan of "live" albums, I can fully appreciate this fine masterpiece.
I love a good Black Sabbath cover. I am biased, as I have enjoyed Ozzy's voice over the other lead singers of Sabbath's time. I'm not sure if it is the apparent "double-tracking" of Ozzy's voice, or Brad Gillis' guitar work, but this album is in my top 5 of all time.
Truly a shame that Randy Rhoads had to checkout. I would have loved to hear his work on this album!! Although we may not understand them, some things are just meant to be...
