Ozzy Osbourne vocals

Don Airey keyboards

Another great pick from Rosebud's Ozzy Osbourne collection. The Bark At The Moon World Tour was a pretty rough one for Ozzy who was still dealing with the loss of his friend and guitarist Randy Rhoads. The bands line-up changed a couple times during the tour with Don Costa, Pete Way and Bob Daisley taking turns on bass, Tommy Aldridge and Carmine Appice taking turns on the drums, Don Airey and Lindsay Bridgewater at the keyboards, Jake E. Lee on guitar would be the only constant member. When the tour hit Detroit the line-up had shifted, my friend Gypsy Dan bought a program and it had paper inserts to explain the line up changes as the program featured a different band than was on stage. Ozzy's drug and alcohol abuse grew. He would some times be too inebriated to give a decent vocal performance. That being said Ozzy sounds really good here on this all too short recording. So all Ozzy & Sabbath fans should add this one to their collections.
