I wanted to upload this on Christmas Day but didn't get the chance. Better one day late than never. A version of this show was upped several months ago on Dime but it was incomplete, high gen and not of the greatest SQ. So here's the complete show, 1st gen and excellent minus SQ, IMHO. A Christmas present that I hope is appreciated. I WAS at this show so this description will be a little longer than usual. Anthrax opened for Ozzy. I have Anthrax if you want it but I was never a fan and never thought very much of their music, no offense to any fans on Dime. A brief description of the recording: Clear vocals and instruments. No distortion, no speed problems, no hiss. Hardly any audience talking. I sat in Section A22, Row F, Seat 11. Ticket price $16.75 !!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my 1st time seeing OO solo and only the 5th or 6th time that I had ever taped a show. A really good tape from a $60 recorder... Herewith some random thoghts to wrap this up: You'll hear me talking briefly on the first 2 tracks. I was helping a very nice young lady take pictures of Ozzy by holding her roses that she had brought to give to Ozzy while she took the photos. I think that I took a few snapshots for her too. I turned around to place her stuff on my chair, hence a muffled space of ~ 20 seconds during track 2. You'll hear her screaming a few times but the music volume drowns her out. She really wasn't bad at all. I've had MUCH worse neighbors at concerts. Zakk Wylde was only 21 when he played lead at this show. A very great guitarist but his somewhat idiotic stage banter needed some work. Ozzy was very happy when some young girl showed him her tits. He wanted more. Ozzy's insistence on audience participation got really old really fast. "Make some noise, go crazy" etc. etc. etc. Relax and play music. And please say "fuck" a lot more ; I haven't heard it enough yet. IIRC, Ozzy was touring in support of his No Rest For The Wicked album. A good recording. He played several tracks from the new disk. If you don't know who Jimmy Swaggart was, google him. It may have been Swaggert, I don't recall... I deleted several minutes of tiresome screaming and yelling. You'll thank me. No music was deleted. Well, that's about it, so let's get this show on the road... No buy, no sell, no mp3. Please seed this as long as you can. I will post a sample to help people decide if they want this but trust me, it's a fine-quality show. Listen to this on headphones for an enjoyable experience! Well, thanks for reading this and Mr. Natural would like to add these few comments: have fun, don't freak out and by all means, enjoy the concert!!! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. jojogunne 12/26/2010 Remember the motto: I'm here to help !
