I'm no expert but he added so much to his live renditions to emulate what he laid down in multiple tracks in the studio. The result is frickin' brilliance. Yes, much better than studio.
Seriously though why do they do that?? It’s a common theme during solos, I don’t get it. It’s like a vocalist singing the main vocal melody and they pan to the drummer.
Years ago,, 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
I just read your text and I m lost for words. First of all, thank you so much for sharing this amazing experience with us. I can only imagine the feeling standing in front of Rudy and Randy, getting a autograph signed from them. Even if I was born too late in 2005, as a 18 year old Black Sabbath and Randy fan, the fact that he left us so early, makes me very sad and breaks my heart, even if I was not alive when it happened. All the best from Germany, take care.
Thank you for posting this! With such little footage of Randy in his element playing live, this video is truly something special. Hopefully more videos like this get posted for all of us to enjoy.
What a tragedy it was the when the plane accident took Randy's life. Not having a high quality pro-shot complete concert adds to the tragedy of the loss of his genius. It almost seems like a conspiracy that good RR footage is so rare. This video is great for what it is, but in the end it's just a teaser for what we should have. If not for the "After Hours" footage we would really be hurting for better RR live video. I still don't get why management did not see the value of shooting video of concerts. Thanks again Sharon! Mtv was already a thing when he was killed. It's not like music videos were a completely new thing for the promotion of bands even without Mtv.
I'd bet this is from the rumored full filmed concert that was set to air on MTV but was shelved after Randy passed. We all know there's more film out there and I have no idea what they're waiting for. All Randy and Ozzy fans would pay big to see it.
You bet there is, few years back a director could persuade a producer to make a documentary about Randy focusing on his life not his death, he started to shoot and interviewing with family and friends and then he wanted to talk to the Osbornes (Sharon) for interview and ask for footage and such. They said No and he couldn't get anything and when after over a year begging Osbornes not only refused to participate but sue him and get the court order that the director had to hand over any footage he had to Sharon. Sharon is a special lady deserves a spacial place in the other side of Heaven
what a lot of people do not realize in this example is Randy has his Wah on and cocked in the middle the whole song. Rudy Sarzo said that Randy often did this and most people never realized it. Much more focused sound than say the After Hours performance.
Never seen this footage before! It's amazing, even if in Randy's solos the camera points to Tommy Aldridge and Ozzy's belly. Where did it come from, and is there more? RR GOAT!
It was shot in Albuquerque 7 Jan. 1982 by the local CBS News affiliate. There is an interview with Ozzy backstage and the opening song, Over The Mountain as well. It's on TH-cam and on the Ozzman cometh box set, so I hear. I was 14 and in there somewhere with my mom and sister. 🤘🏽
For all those burners that think playing fast as you can is impressive? You have speed, and then you have speed with taste? Randy, was all of that.! R.I.P Randy, say hi to Eddie for me!🤘
Sharron: "No, we never took any film of the shows. Didn't even occur to us to film." ... Me: "Ya, right. Whatever you say liar-mouth." I'd better be able to see one of Randy's Dairy shows before i kick the bucket,or i might have to come back and haunt someone's ass!!
I'd like to see this in HD quality but Sharon wouldn't want to pay other musicians in this video any roayalties or even the people that restored the quality...
The video is anything but professional or high quality or even good but it ripped my heart Randy's powerful and unique performance, we missed out on someone truly special, I condemn that bus driver took Randy against his will to that damn plane I hope he is rotting in hell
Randy’s guitar phrasing beats EVH by miles imo, even nuno has cleaner phrasing! Eddie was just the first to do it but I think Randy holds the mantle and would have gotten better had he lived longer and developed a more original style that wouldn’t have these stupid EVH fights all the time. Anyone who can play guitar at those levels are phenoms
The guy with camera : "So when the guitar god does a solo I'll see what the drummer guy is doing." 🍻🤤
Like WHYYYYYY
Imagine if we had a close-up up that solo. 😮😢😮
hes all the way on the other side of randy
@@MichaelHemotoxincoulda zoomed in 😭
Like its a sign of not being familiar with the song.
Camera man is FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Randy’s live playing was even more amazing than his records
I'm no expert but he added so much to his live renditions to emulate what he laid down in multiple tracks in the studio. The result is frickin' brilliance. Yes, much better than studio.
I want to slap the cameraman for turning away during Randy’s solo
Seriously though why do they do that?? It’s a common theme during solos, I don’t get it. It’s like a vocalist singing the main vocal melody and they pan to the drummer.
That was a bit of heaven! To see any new unseen footage of Randy is something truly special. Thank you for posting this gem.
Glad you enjoyed it
That tone is untouchable.

my hope is that i may some day sit in Heaven with Randy for an hour or two of lessons
Its truly amazing to see Randy playing... what a legend 👏 😁😁😁
God Bless the person who videotaped this thank you so very much!!!!!!! Every second of Randy
Rhoads is priceless to me and all of us!!!!
Even though stupid missed the solo ! Listen to randy his amp sounds kick ass damn what a player he was
오지형 정말 행복해 보여 ^_^
WOW, what a gem. There really isnt much that shows randys natural stage presence and mannerisms. thanks for sharing.

I heard they do have pro footage but it would cost too much to process according to Sharon. Such a shame
@@sebastianwhalin743 fuck that, is fucking randy rhoads, they have to do it, fuck the money, fuck sharon for that.
Love the way ozzy rocked
It's not about ozzy, it's about his savior. Don't you know what is the history?
This song is incredible
I saw them at Boutwell auditorium in Birmingham Alabama in 1982. It was amazing, and so epically loud. 🤘

랜디의 새로운 영상은 언제나 흥분된다. 게시해 주셔서 매우 감사합니다.
Wow!!! Amazing!!!
I hope there is more of this show on video!!
An audience full of no cell phones ❤
Yeah. It's such a blessing that there were no cell phones available to catch Randy playing...
Magical!
I found some Polaroids taken live on stage in an ozzy record I bought used, couldn't find them anywhere on the web!!!
Never seen this footage before! It's amazing, even if in Randy's solos the camera points to Tommy Aldridge and Ozzy's belly. Where did it come from, and is there more? RR GOAT!

Heard it was Sarzo’s brother that filmed this.
if theres footage if this then there has to be more! God bless whoever did this and brought it to light.
WOW Super fantastic ... but camera man, camera man - WHY wouldn't you show Randy more?
Randy’s guitar sounds awesome even on a crappy 1982 camera
For all those burners that think playing fast as you can is impressive? You have speed, and then you have speed with taste? Randy, was all of that.! R.I.P Randy, say hi to Eddie for me!🤘
Yes, I saw one of the last cinc34ts with randy, in Utica NY. Ozzie was still taking med , bittle at drum kit , for the bat head .
that tone at 2:32 is absolute evil
I thought the same thing. Wicked
Never seen this, and holy shit. He's got a NASTY tone in this performance.
💯🙌👑✨🇵🇪
Ok guys, during Randy's solo, lets zoom in on Tommy playing drums.
O autor tem mais material aí? Isso é espetacular e muito raro...
Sharron: "No, we never took any film of the shows. Didn't even occur to us to film."
... Me: "Ya, right. Whatever you say liar-mouth."
I'd better be able to see one of Randy's Dairy shows before i kick the bucket,or i might have to come back and haunt someone's ass!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, do you have any more footage? I've seen this and the Over the Mountain one. Hope there is more.
I'd like to see this in HD quality but Sharon wouldn't want to pay other musicians in this video any roayalties or even the people that restored the quality...
There may have been a 2nd camera man on the other side of the stage,this may have never been edited,
Ozzy in his "Camp Beverly Hills" sweats. Ive heard the story of these.
Tommy Aldridge blows, he backed an awesome short-lived guitar player and bitches about it. Too bad there's not more of Rhoads...he was great
I just hope I live long enough to see the withheld unreleased Randy footage. Wtf?
The camera man sucked. He was on the drums while Randy was killing it. RRs was a god on guitar. Geesh what tone and his playing was just amazing. ❤
HEY IT'S A BLISTERING GUITAR SOLO...QUICK CLOSE UP ON THE DRUMMER'S FACE!!!!
That was epic...but at least he got the end of it and then the outro solo....
¿Pero quién filmó? ¿Alguien del público?
Is this randy's last récording?
Still don't know what the fuck EVH was talking about when he says Randy sounds like him.
Love that satanic little fill at 2:38
How to play it?
this is my favorite version of Mr.Crowley!
There Can Be Only One Mr Randy Rhoads Sorry Eddie and Iommi LOL
Do we know where and when this was recorded?
Cameraman, you only had one job 😩
I honestly believe proshot footage of Randy is locked somewhere. Why do they do this to us?!?!.
The video is anything but professional or high quality or even good but it ripped my heart Randy's powerful and unique performance, we missed out on someone truly special, I condemn that bus driver took Randy against his will to that damn plane I hope he is rotting in hell
Why won't Sharon Osbourne let old Randy Rhoads be released?
Cameraman hates RR solos. When solo begins, he shows Ozzy, drummer, basist, crowd, but not Randy or Zakk (he also played RR solos)
worst camera work in recorded history.
have you seen other footage of Randy? this is amazing
Rudy’s brother filmed this
Sharon filmed ozzy in the fashion of bigfoot footage
@@feelingsogood6073😂 Bwuhahahaha!!
Sound is bad but still a far better performance than the after hours 1981 version.
Is Rudy even really playing? Why oh why couldn't the cameraman focus on what mattered most.
Pero en serio que manía tienen los camarógrafos con enfocar a los bateristas en los solos de Randy Rhoads?
Randy’s guitar phrasing beats EVH by miles imo, even nuno has cleaner phrasing! Eddie was just the first to do it but I think Randy holds the mantle and would have gotten better had he lived longer and developed a more original style that wouldn’t have these stupid EVH fights all the time. Anyone who can play guitar at those levels are phenoms
Sorry EVH but Randy Rhoads was the better guitarist.
Worlds worst camera man.
No. camera man was drunk with performance.. ㅠㅠ
