I was there, Beaumont, Texas! This was the last rock concert ever held in Fairpark Colosseum and my third Ozzy show. The place was a dirt-floored concrete and steel sound cannon! The band set up at one end, both sides were concrete bleachers, a steel roof, and the North end was open. People complained the next day from fifteen blocks away about the excessive noise My ears rang for over two weeks and to this day I am convinced this one concert is the reason I am practically deaf! I was so close to the stage Randy Rhoads was sweating on me! It was one of the most intense concerts I've ever experienced - and I have been to tons of concerts. If I recall correctly they played three encores! The hall roared with the sound of fans beating and kicking the seats and screaming "OZZY! OZZY!" for what seemed like ten minutes. Long after the lights were turned on we screamed and pounded until the band, clearly exhausted, dragged themselves back onstage to the explosion of cheers from the ecstatic crowd. I was hoarse for days! My tastes have evolved over the years, but as far as visceral, intense, bowel-shaking, goose-bumped, heart in your throat, pass-out-in-the-parking-lot, pass-down-to-your-grandkids life-experiences go... This show was number one!

Wow, you are so lucky to have seen this. But, I know what you mean about being at a concert that was too loud. The loudest concert I went to was Iron Maiden in 2000. It was too too loud. The guitars were way too loud, so much you could not hear the singer. I wish I would had left that concert, or never went at all. I could not hear anything but a loud static sound the entire next day. There should be decibel laws enforced! I sometimes think my hearing has been effected since then.

Joe R. I saw Maiden in 1985, Rosemont Horizon, Chicago and had to leave - "had to" - as the volume was too outright painful. And I was working at an airport for God's Sake! That was the year Maiden unseated Motorhead's record level of 122 db in Cleveland with shows going into the 130's. Only U2 was louder years later and even then, they toned it down. It's no longer fun when it's that loud. One of the great things I loved about Jane's Addiction is that both times I saw them (pre and at Lala 1), they eased their sound in with "Up the Beach" and then moderately increased it throughout. Opening acts were louder than Jane's but Jane's still gave a great show - clear, concise and professional. Even Motorhead, when finally saw them in NYC had seemingly toned it down a bit (1992). Maybe Lemmy didn't want to hurt (Joey) Ramone's ears (he was in the audience). I saw Ozzy on Diary in '82 on what to me is his strongest album by far but while is band was great (Brad was a great stand in), it just didn't impress. I like Diary and Ultimate best. I should have given him a second chance at OzzFest but I was in a coma/ICU/Eden Hospital from the day it came to town in SJ CA until three months later. True story.

Well...... Not according to Eddie Van Halen! According to him, "RR learned EVERYTHING he knew from me"! That's literally what EVH said right after RR died, when asked how he felt about Randy's passing. He literally tried to take credit for Randy's skill, style and his desire to become a guitarist in the first place! He said, "well, at least Randy was honest, unlike most other guitarists. He(Randy) admitted he learned everything from me, but none of the other guitarists are honest enough to admit it". But what's funny, is when you look at various lists of Randy's influences, they either dont include EVH at all, or he's near the bottom of the list! So, there may be differences of opinion when it comes to asking people which of the two is a better guitarist. But I think it's pretty obvious who wins in the category of "decent human being"! Randy won that competition by miles! That leaves Eddie and David Lee Roth as the co-champions of the "incredibly bloated ego award"!

His playing was instinctual. It's like he does it without thinking. It just flows out like lava. Smooth Fiery n Explosively Hot. His guitar was an extension of his Soul. What else can I say. GOAT.

He had the power to change the way people played, and listened. To me as a 12 year old kid just getting into Heavy Metal when he died was like Elvis dying. We idolized him throughout my teenage Metal Head years. He was truly brilliant and could have been a classical guitarist.

Randy is such an inspiring person. The story goes that when Ozzy was having auditions that as soon as Randy started tuning Ozzy told him you're in. And it's unfortunate he passed he was 25 at the time but you cant live in past held back by the regret or sadness you must honor his memory and I think that if one person on this planet picked up guitar because of Randy he did his job. I dont have stories or memories to tell but I often research and I guess pay respects to this legend by listening, living, breathing, and playing his music because people can die the stories of legends cannot. Randy beats Eddie, Stevie Ray, Zakk, Jake Lee, and any other guitarist out there because he was, is, and always will be the greatest guitarist of all time.

Best ever, hidden gem

What won we over as a lifelong fan of Randy's, is that he didn't want to be a rock star. He was a student of the instrument and respected the instrument as such. His interviews reflected that, and he had this humble demeaner I'm sure endeared a legion of others beside me. The fact is, that his work with Ozzy is compiled of only two studio albums and one live, and yet he continues to inspire guitar players generations after him. Those albums have stood the test of time proving that the songwriting was solid. The chemistry between the band on those two albums was magic as well.

Killer footage thanks😊

I was at this concert! This was one of the best sounding show's I've ever been to. In fact it was so loud that after Ozzy performed this was the last concert held at this open arena. Or better known as the fair grounds.The following days so many locals who lived near by complained to the city how loud it was. To me the sound was impeccable /superior. That night was perfect to say the least. However still to this day no other band has performed at this arena, and never will. Ozzy and Randy closed the doors to a perfect storm.

Audio Master pretty proud to say it sounded so good because my dad was the sound engineer. You can see him in this video, lanky guy with the blonde afro at the sound board. Ozzy said in an interview somewhere that he sounded best when Chuck Wiesner was his sound man.. his name is also on the Speak Of The Devil album as the sound engineer (spelt Weisner) My dad passed away a little over a year ago, he’d be so goddam excited and proud to know you thought his work was that great. My first concert was a Nazareth show when I was about 3, sitting right next to him at the sound board. He lived a life many only dream of, have many many many stories and more one of a kind vintage tour shirts than I can count. Miss that man more than words can say.

Madison Wiesner That's so awesome!

a great myth with a humble soul and a generous heart R.I.P.

The interview if Ozzy is so awesome and telling. The touring back in those days was grueling. You can tell he’s exhausted and drained

Just stumbled across this and all I can say is DAMN!!!! We didn’t get to watch Randy age with grace and take his place on the pantheon where he belongs.

This is amazing! I've never seen such cool RR footage! His tone was amazing!!!!!! Thanks for posting this

" I am very anti drugs at the moment .." and a little bit later went on to tour with Mötley Crüe :)

its a well known fact that around 76 77 ozzys alcohol and coke addiction started to seriously peak. around 85 he was so out of his mind..watch footage of back then.he was trying to avoid public bashery. because peoples addictions and lifestyles dont create the music. ozz himself spoke those words. quite wizdomous seeing that he prospered during his entire career high as hell and mever succummed to the rockstar deathstyle.nor did he crash and burn like a lot of others. i remember reading that randy barely did coke. once or twice with ozzy..well thats only 2 years so ozzy was obviouslt snowblind after sabath. id like to say 2001s down to earth was the only record where he was in total control of himself

Mikka, as we can see clearly by Ozzy's statement about being "anti drugs at the moment" is the typical junkiehead self denying behaviour. A person so addict like him at those times saying that he is anti drugs at "the moment" It sounds like a joke for me. Album after album along the years he has been stating: this is the very first album that I record being sober...Then months later or very few years later, he admits he was stoned and had lain to his family and fans. But actually he has lain to himself all of these years. I do hope he quits doing drugs and drinking. He has to see and face he is killing himself slowly. I just did not want to wake up or arrive at home from a hard day of work then turn on the TV set and hear the news: 'Ozzy Osbourne is dead'. He still young to die. I wish to him long live...I hope that his time to leave life will be when he is 100 of age or more. God knows our right time to leave this dimension but If you do drugs, you might be kind of accelerating the process. God bless him and you all as well.

Well, I gotta wonder, you know, as his solo career was first taking off, he seemed to be doing better with his addiction, and then perhaps Randy’s death sent him over the edge? I’m pretty sure he blamed himself over it, you know, if this great kid (and Randy was pretty much still just a kid) hadn’t been touring with me, he would still be alive kind of thing. I don’t know,

can u imagine what we lost........dayum just the thought.

Whether true or not, your opinion that he deserved to die only tells us that YOU are morally and ethically misguided.

He's in my top 5 fave. Randy was also excellent in Quiet Riot,not just with Ozzy's solo record.

Happy Birthday Randy!!! Best guitarist to ever touch a guitar. Today is also my birthday, so it feels honorable to share a birthday with the best freaking guitarist

Clicked for Randy but stayed for Ozzy. Most of this was actually an excellent interview with a quick witted, and very articulate Ozzy.

A clean and sober Ozzy = great historic interview.

my favorite guitarist personally!

This was amazing to watch and thanks for sharing it. ✌🏻

Ozzy blowing up goats and Randy blowing people's minds, what made him special was how easy it was for him....RIP

Just hours after this pretty lucid Ozzy interview, he was arrested in the early morning hours for urinating on the Alamo.

La verdad que es increíble hasta estos tiempos escuchar a Randy para mi es un referente además es único era un prodigio sonido inimitable tremenda técnica no existe otro igual 🎸🎼🙌

Holy shit ,this gave me goosebumps,Rip Randy,has and always will be the greatest guitarist ever,Yngwie and Randy forever

If I could give this video footage a ❤ instead of a 👍 I would.

Yes, EVH reinvented the rock guitar, no doubt, new sound, new style of playing influenced a whole generation. But to say that Randy had no impact, i couldnt disagree more. The sound of his guitar on those Ozzy albums was groundbreaking. His playing was inspirational. His playing brought American metal guitar to the forefront. EVH is not and never was a metal guitarist, he is pure good time rock and roll, which is awesome, but randy brought menace to the table. Both brilliant guitar players, totally different styles

Not trying to talk shit on EVH, but if you play guitar and try playing some of randy's songs, you'll see he was a much better technical guitarists. Randy solos and riffs were like a mix between classical and metal which was awesome.

stuckie Dude, I can't leave this one alone. If you can listen to vintage Eddie and say he isn't a metal guitarist you just *&%^&(&^%$^&%&$&^ you dumb guy.

I am not a massive fan of guitarists as most tend to be egomaniacs, Steve Vai, Richie Sambora, Dave Mustaine and worked with more than a few too but Randy Rhoads always seemed like a really nice person who just happened to be one of the best guitarists in the world. A rare and phenomenal talent. His work on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman is superb. Ozzy snorted a line of ants, p*ssed on the floor and lapped it up. He is called the wild man of rock for a reason. The beauty of Ozzy's vocals is they were never great to start with a little like John Lydon or Alice Cooper but it means their vocals are consistent even now whereas once great vocalists like Paul Stanley can no longer do what they once could. One of my old bosses saw Sabbath in the 70's and recently on The End tour in 2016 and said Ozzy does not really sound that much different.

mad respect for Ozzy , getting clean and being dedicated to putting on a good show . Randy left us too soon , what shred monster !

Drummers during sound check: bam, bam, boom, boom Guitarists during sound check:dldldldldldldiiiiiiiiiiiiddldldldlooooooodldldldldldwooow

Randy really was the best.. Thanks for the FREE Lessons Randy.. I did Pay.. Bought the Tribute Album..

Omg I met him and he was so tiny,but on stage he was a ROCK AND ROLL GIANT!!!! 💖RIP RANDY💖

I was at that show :) While they were doing that sound check I was drinking beer and smoking hash :)
