He plays all his best stuff and hits the peek with every song and performance.<br /><br />Backed with the great guitar player Zakk Wylde, bassist Mike Inez, and an under rated talented drummer Randy Castillo, Ozzy shows all his stuff in this double live album. Tracks he chooses for this album are from throughout his entire career. A few taking you back to the Sabbath days as well. The album recorded from his world tour between 1991- and 1992.<br /><br /> Let me walk you through the tracks-<br /> CD 1:<br />1. Intro- a few minutes of a recording of his hits mixed together into a small introducing sample of what is to come. (5 stars- it is just an intro though!)<br /> 2. Paranoid- powerful early hit. (3 stars)<br /> 3. I Don't Wanna Change The World- don't we all? (4 stars)<br /> 4. Desire- I never cared for this track. (2 stars)<br /> 5. Mr. Crowley- powerful added drumming by Castillo here. (5 stars)<br /> 6. I Don't Know- one of the first songs I grew up loving. (5 stars)<br /> 7. Road To Nowhere- we have all been on this road right? (4 stars)<br /> 8. Flying High Again- doesn't the rhythm grab you here? (5 stars)<br /> 9. Guitar Solo- though we all miss Randy, Zakk fills in nicely. (5 stars)<br /> 10. Suicide Solution- his most controversial song ever. (5 stars)<br /> 11. Goodbye to Romance- Ozzy tried to sing a ballad. (5 stars)<br /><br /> A slow start from Cd 1. But every concert gets better as it goes along right? Right....<br /><br /> CD 2:<br /> 1. Shot In The Dark- didn't we all love this track? Even the non Ozzy fans? (5 stars)<br /> 2. No More Tears- what a bass sound live! (5 stars)<br /> 3. Miracle Man- another track I just never liked. (2 stars)<br /> 4. Drum Solo- again, he is under rated. Take it from a drummer. (5 stars)<br /> 5. War Pigs- well, need I say anything here? (5 stars)<br /> 6. Bark At The Moon- Ooowwwwwooooo - again, didn't they all like it, even the non fans? (5 stars)<br /> 7. Mama, I'm Coming Home- antoher ballad attempt. (5 stars)<br /> 8. Crazy Train- climb on board and hold on! Buckle up! (5 stars)<br /> 9. Black Sabbath- oh come on, history here folks! (5 stars)<br /> 10. Changes- What an encore to choose. (5 stars)<br /><br />The 2nd CD is a powerful second half if you thought the majority 5 star tracks from CD 1 was a bit slow and weak! LOL! I will say it again, Ozzy is a great live performer. His voice is on the money in every track. Zakk is playing his heart on guitar sounding better than ever.<br /><br />I am suppose to name what I don't like about the album too right? That is what they recommend to try and do? Ok. Here I go. What I don't like about the album:<br /> 1. Hmmm... no... I like that.<br /> 2. Well... ummm.. no I like that too.<br /> 3. Oh I know.. actually... I like that too.<br /> So I guess nothing!<br /><br />Any Ozzy fan has to have this album. Any non Ozzy fan, well if you ever thought of introducing yourself to him, this is a way to do it. Hear him live and performing his best of the best from throughout the years! I don't know what else to say except he is powerful as ever here. Buy it! Own it! Feel it "Live and Loud"!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5428611958574643036-3879683416963963704?l=ozzy-osbourne-news.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>788http://www.blogger.com/profile/15946261640055235816noreply@blogger.com0
