[@perpetualmotion357]

Randy Rhoads was absolutely brilliant in every way. Impeccable songwriting where there was never a wasted note or one too many. His rhythm playing was totally off the rails and his blistering leads were just as memorable as the main riff of the songs. Those amazing fills that were thrown in with split second timing between the riffs(especially live) was the cherry on top. There's never been anybody like him before or since. There's a reason Ozzy's setlist has remained 75 percent Rhoads era material 40 years later even though he was only with him a few short years with two albums. Such an extraordinary talent that struck like a bolt of lightning and then was gone.

[@stringtheoryguitars4952]

Was just going to mention this; Randy's fills on this song are incredible because there's no open space. He's chugging those 16th notes like a machine gun and somehow fitting in some melodic runs that never lose intensity. Randy was absolutely unique and so talented.

[@brigham2250]

I agree with the original comment. There is no comparing Randy Rhoads with Jake E. Lee. Lee was a great guitar player but the closest he came to matching Randy's greatness was the song Bark at the Moon. Brad, good in his own right, but he was playing the guitar parts of Rhoads and Iommi. So without any original content to judge him by, he really can't be included in a list of Ozzy's great guitarists. And really, that list is short. Randy Rhoads is at the top. Jake second. After that, eh, no real opinion. There's squealy boy but I just can't get into him as a person, or at least the person he has become.

[@jdmoney1000]

When I was 22 years old, Ozzy Osborne was coming to the Sam Houston Coliseum on February 17th (1982). Since first hearing Ozzy’s “Blizzard of Oz” solo album, his new guitar player Randy Rhoads had become my guitar hero. I didn't know much about him, nor did I even know what he looked like, because Ozzy's album pictures really didn't distinguish who was who in the band photo. To this point, I had assumed that the dark-haired guy (Rudy) was the guitar player I had recently come to idolize. Anyway, my girlfriend Mindy and our housemate Chris quickly found a way to score some tickets for the show. I figured if we showed up at the arena early enough, we might get a chance to meet the band before the show. It was a warm afternoon in Houston when Chris, Mindy and I arrived at the concert hall. We made our way around to the loading dock side of the building to look for tour buses or any other sign of band life. The road crew had already arrived and was setting up the elaborate stage for the “Diary of A Madman” tour. Surprisingly, the atmosphere was very relaxed. We were able to simply walk in and observe at our leisure without anyone hassling us. This went on for the better part of the afternoon. As we loitered about the premises, I befriended Randy’s guitar tech. He informed me that the band would be showing up around 5pm to do a soundcheck. In the meantime, he invited me into a makeshift dressing room to have a look at Randy’s guitars. They were sitting on guitar stands right in front of me. Just feet away from my hands were Randy’s signature cream Les Paul with the snakeskin strap, along with three custom made “V” shaped guitars. His polka-dot V, white pinstripe V and a black one, the latter two sporting the name “Jackson” on the headstocks. At this point, I was not really familiar with his guitars. And this was also long before Jackson Guitars became a household name. Needless to say, I was quite intrigued by them. Luckily, I had the presence of mind to bring a disposable camera with me. I asked the guitar tech if I could take a few pictures of the guitars. He didn’t mind, so I began to snap away. Just as I was photographing the assortment of guitars, a rather large and in charge road manager walked in on me and freaked out. “What the f#$k are you doing in here??? Gimme that efffing camera, those are custom made guitars!” he barked. The guitar tech tried to quell the big fellows concerns, but he would have no part in negotiating any compromise. “Gimme the effing camera if you wanna see the show” he demanded. As a 22 year old punk kid, I was in no position to argue, so I reluctantly gave the Paul Bunion looking troll my stupid camera. The guitar tech apologized for the road managers over-reaction and allowed us all to stay and hang out. Like clockwork, the tour bus pulled into the loading dock at 5pm. Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo and Randy Rhoads soon stepped out. Randy was wearing blue jeans, a black pleather jacket with no shirt under it with a white towel draped around his neck. Absent from the group was Ozzy, who apparently didn’t do soundcheck with the rest of the group. I quickly made my way over to who I thought was Randy and asked for an autograph. Slightly unprepared, I only had a small piece of paper that I had found nearby for them to sign. Rudy signed one side of the paper and Randy Rhoads signed the other side. I managed to make some small talk, at first thinking that Rudy was actually Randy. Up to this point, (As I said, I wasn’t entirely sure what Randy actually looked like). “Man, you’re a great guitar player” I said. Rudy looked at me sort of puzzled and pointed me in the direction of the actual Randy Rhoads. Needless to say, I felt like a douche. Randy was very unassuming, soft-spoken and frankly humble. He happily complied with my autograph request. He had to lean the small piece of paper onto the side of the cinder block wall in order to write his signature. He simply wrote, "Randy Rhoads". After several minutes, the band disappeared inside the arena and we followed along like lemmings. During their soundcheck, I stood directly in front of Randy Rhoads as the band ran through the song “Mr. Crowley” in its entirety. Randy was playing his cream Les Paul and never sounded better. I was in awe that afternoon, watching this soon to be legend warming up for the impending show right before my eyes. Except for my girlfriend Mindy, Chris and myself, (and a few road-crew guys), there was nobody else in the arena. A few short weeks later, Randy, twenty-five years old, was killed in a plane crash in Leesburg, Florida. I was devastated. His autograph remains framed on my studio wall to this day. Also, a few weeks earlier on March 5th, John Belushi died of a cocaine overdose. You could feel a chill in the psyche of the masses around Houston who had just absorbed the news of both of their untimely deaths. Both tragedies were a stark reminder of my own mortality....Can you imagine what would have been captured on my disposable camera had I been allowed to keep it??? That Tour managers action is a loss for the entire world. Jeff Dyer - Uncle Sally

Thank you for posting this. There can never be enough Randy Rhoads on youtube.

[@Killerofdemons666]

Randy finally in the hall of fame!!!

[@dominysynclair]

Wasn't he already in with Ozzy?

[@Killerofdemons666]

@@dominysynclair I think so but not by himself.. same thing for EVH I think

[@warnerbasement1628]

At that time for a brief moment this was one of the best metal and rock bands on the planet.

[@michaelk8710]

I was blessed to see Randy twice the same year in April and August '81. The very first US show was billed as "Ozzy Osbourne", in Towson, MD., I was 20 feet from Randy the whole night. Motorhead opened. Subsequent shows were billed "Blizzard Of Ozz" (little trivia). August was Merriweather Post Pav (not anywhere close), Def Leppard opened. 40+ years later, the images of that first US show are seared to memory.

even through potato quality vhs you can still tell how hard this slaps. Rip Randy the king 👑

[@Big_Daddy72]

Well the last 10 seconds of that video was what I was hoping the whole video would be like. But still, some really great footage! MORE PLEASE!!!!!

[@shawnstarks1743]

Read my comment, that will probably provide you with some sort of explanation.

[@jasonsabourin2275]

Yeah, I think more than 90% of the people who tuned into this were hoping for more Randy, I think once every one saw the date on the video the hope of seeing some of the ever rare "Live Randy Footage" .

Wait until you see the Mr. Crowley footage.

[@paulmares6189]

They were all Awesome Especially Randy Rhoades in January 7 1982!!!!!!!!!!

[@jackyboy420]

My first concert,age 14!Was totally stuned...Still is today

[@chacod.hastiin3775]

My first concert 2. It was awesome!

[@PolyGonzo505]

Whoa That's freaking awesome 🤘👽. I'm from NM too, what venue was this at?

[@Drumguybri]

Ozzy voice sounds great, this is not an easy song to sing!

[@papapoodo6685]

Ha! Yeah .....sounds 👍! 😆

[@louisscoppetto6147]

Release the footage!!

[@fu2201]

Thanks Sharon for letting Ozzy post this lol.

[@ronburr5937]

The last 10 seconds of this are the best!

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

I'm soooo grateful I got to see Ozzy with Randy.......twice 🙂

[@finnpetersen17]

Wow. This are without a doubt. The HOLY GRAIL on you tube ❤

[@zandig666]

Great yrs for metal and the bars were teeming with up n coming local acts as well 80-84 walls balls out great !!!!

[@justinngariki]

This is pure gold. He was so good.

[@robertdoyle9180]

Such a tiny guy with such a huge sound on the guitar. Crazy to even see

[@undeadpriest]

It's almost like being at the show myself. If I had the whole concert I'd put it on the big screen in a cinema room and really immerse myself

[@sparkie119]

Tingley Coloseum. NM State Fair grounds. Remember hearing the radio spots for this upcoming show.

[@grahamturner1290]

Brings back memories of seeing Ozz in 1980 and 1981...🦇

[@judijohnson3153]

Props to the drummer 🤟🤟🤟

[@dvg4104]

Also to the guitarist and bassist. The vocalist was just plain awful.

[@judijohnson3153]

@@dvg4104 yes Props to always Randy and Rudy. Vocals was Not awful. Idk why you hear vocals as awful That's Ozzy! Always amazing.

[@t.a.4702]

I saw Randy a month later with Ozzy in Feb. Randy one the most incredible I ever saw and I saw em all.

[@jerich859]

Seen them in mid February 1982 ❤ Riverfront Coliseum Cincinnati Ohio my very 1st concert at 13 seen 3000+ since and absolutely no one could ever tie his shoe and i seen them all Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, MALMSTEEN MULTIPLE TIMES

[@Moe717-Lp83]

That was awesome. I was lucky enough to see Randy, Convention Hall Asbury Park NJ. Def Leppard opened. Randy had the black and white Marshalls alternating on each side of the drums. I’ll nvr forget where I was when I heard about Randy. He is still a guitar hero to me and I could only imagine what he could’ve done, still makes me sad to this day but thank you for this video and yes, someone plz release a live show, there has to be footage they can use today’s technology on and let the world see just how great Randy is.

[@richardkey4289]

3:50;- Ozzy shaking to groove to Randy's vibrato, he almost started doing it first & knew Randy would nail.it, just awesome. Randy is just throwing up.a wall.of tight metal, I wonder if many people here were prepared for this !

[@quite4210]

A shame there's no content of Randy Rhoad's in his fully prime (1982). There are probably 4/5 bootlegs of DOAM with RR, but is still not enough but yeah you can still see how Randy was on fire the whole concert even if its just audio, wish there was videos of RR in his fully prime..

[@mickdestiny6542]

Ha ha, i saw that too and thought holy fuck, he is REALLY into it! And then it was gone..

[@davidwooderson46]

Yeah really by 1982 Randy was king 👑 of the guitar. All that traing and studying really show by 1982. To bad the barely any footage of the diary of madman tour. Randy did a solo and a instrumental with band and it sounded like trans Siberian orchestra but way ahead of his time. This is around the same time rolling stone magazine and Eddie van Halen was bad mouthing him too. That didn't make a difference he keep learning and just getting better and better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHSVgJKmjtVsjLM

The bass players moves. Good god…..😵😂

[@beeragainsthumanity1420]

By far my favorite Ozzy song.🤘

[@stevengold5993]

Ozzy and Randy fans want all live recordings and videos of concerts!! God bless Randy

[@MickStoneCoverChannel99]

Master of Vocal :D

[@gsauce132able]

So sad that about two months later after this performance, that maybe the greatest heavy metal guitarist would leave us. RIP Randy Rhoads, miss your playing and song writing. You are a great influence on my guitar playing.

[@JRLesPaul]

We need a live video concert of all the Randy Rhoads footage. This isn’t bad, so there has to be enough to celebrate Randy with a proper concert video for those of us who just a bit too young to have caught him live.

[@walker70]

Wow! Picture me as a 13 year old completely absorbed in the early analog 80's. This band was everything to me.

[@maxromero23]

Finally on KZbin!! This was filmed by the local news station at Tingley Colosseum in Albuquerque.

[@turnthepaigebrooklyn2951]

From KOAT Channel 7 as I recall…..and they only videotaped 4 - 5 songs….as it was just news story for the day

[@dominysynclair]

Can you give me the name of the camera man, I'd like to have a word...

[@SHENDOH]

I was there!!

[@mickdestiny6542]

@@dominysynclair ha ha..

[@darrenashton957]

Got to be grateful for anything we get of Ozzy with Randy, but jeez, every time there's a solo it's time to film anyone but Randy!

[@hyprz5]

Happy Halloween everyone! Long Live Randy!

[@johnmcminn9455]

Yeah man! Actual live audio of Rhoads playing OtM . That lead break is super clean as I expected

[@jamesbone105]

Wow, Randy playing brilliantly, live he did things like Jimi Hendrix putting in things that are not on the album playing from his heart. I wish that the Osbourne's would see the value of releasing a live video with Randy Rhoads so guitar player's could study his sound and technique. It doesn't do anybody any good to sit on those videos of his live video recordings from his very last tour.

[@judijohnson3153]

Good fkn comment. Ya you're 👍 right!!!!!

Randy was the true star of the Ozzy show.

[@motiveaz]

I have watched this many times, simply the greatest 5 minutes of Metal in the history of sound. That stage too, oh my.... \m/ \m/

[@garylagstrom3864]

Just think today you would have a Randy Cam so you could just watch him for the whole show!

[@ricenglish4556]

Excellent shots of the bass player. You would think he's playing all those solos.

[@judijohnson3153]

HA!!! RIGHT!!!

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

And he sounds like crap.

[@donatherton9228]

God bless Randy and his Family.

[@plisskenationbackfromthede3657]

Tommy aldridge has not aged a day ever lol he looks the same and he can still play this song 40 years later lol

[@papagregorio6688]

This is incredible… RIP Randy

[@dino.manzella]

Interesting: The first 3 notes in that solo (@ 3:17) are the same notes and melody of the song "Black Sabbath" (although a higher octave)

[@Weckerman_213]

Yeah 😮

[@gnessi4029]

show us randys face, cameraman... Why are we getting horrible angled footage, Osbournes ???? Listen to him, Randy sounds breathtaaakiinggg! !!!!
