After been out of Black Sabbath a couple of years, his ongoing cocaine use, and supported only by his future wife, Sharon (the daughter of Sabbath manager Don Arden), Ozzy was essentially broke, and had to start from the ground up when launching his newfound solo career. Unlike most lead singers who go solo in order to distance themselves artistically from the band they had just left, Ozzy stuck with the type of music he knew: deep, heavy, slow moving Rock with lyrical themes centered around Satan, the Occult, the presence of evil in the world and drug use. Needless to say, Osbourne with the "Blizzard Of Oz" simply picked up where the Osbourne-led Sabbath left off. Ozzy had success when he formed his now legendary solo band, and embarked on the controversial Blizzard Of Oz Tour.
On July 28th, 1981, the appearance was recorded live at Théâtre St-Denis, Montreal, Canada, and broadcast on the KROQ “King Biscuit Flower Hour” radio show. What makes this performance particularly special, is that it is one of the few professional live recordings made of Ozzy and Randy Rhoads on stage together prior to his tragic death in February 1982. The rhythm section of bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Tommy Aldridge was rock solid, but it was the innovative and fluid guitar work of the mighty Randy Rhoads that made this period in Osbourne's career so important. While he was alive, critics and fans were saying Rhoads was as good as Eddie Van Halen; who knows what great music he could have made had he not died so early in life.
Consisting mostly of material from his first LP, "Blizzard Of Oz", and what was to become his second album, "Diary Of A Madman", these shows clearly demonstrated the excitement Osbourne was creating with his newfound solo project. Ozzy and Sabbath fans alike will love this recording, even though he only does one song from his Sabbath days, the set-closing "Paranoid".
