LISTEN: Ozzy Osbourne Show From Kalamazoo Wings Event Center In
A video just uploaded yesterday on YouTube has the entire show from Ozzy Osbourne's stop in Kalamazoo at the Wings Event Center on February 9, 1982. This was uploaded 41 years to the day of the original show during the Diary of a Madman Tour and the uploader shared his excitement for the recording, which may be the last soundboard recording of Randy Rhodes:
This was made possible with the help of my dear friend, OzzyRareTracks. Without him, I would not have made this as great as it is! A download link with the complete version of this show with the Diary Of A Madman Intro intact can be found below
This show was the year after he proposed to Sharron in Kalamazoo, so there's no doubt this city will always be special to the Ozzman:
The show begins with Over The Mountain followed by a crushing Mr. Crowley. You can really hear all the keys and small details throughout the show a lot better in this version! Some other small noises like chatter between the band can be heard. Randy's on fire tonight with excellent versions of Goodbye To Romance, Suicide Solution, and Believer. During some live solos, Randy's guitar would pan left and right with an echo effect being used. It can be best heard through a hifi stereo setup.
There are a few glitches in the show as I Don't Know is cut after the solo and No Bone Movies begins during the end of the solo. But overall, this is an awesome show a special find. Enjoy Ozzy from Kalamazoo in 82'!
