I met her on the Ozzfest tour in 2000. She was always very sweet to me, but at the same time, everyone on the tour knew not to do anything that would cross her or piss her off, or else she would destroy your life.
I saw all three of Jake's tours with Ozzy, and he was incredible. That he played hardtails really impressed me because many of his Era would blast away quickly then go wild on the vibrato arm. It quickly became a cliché. Cheers to Jake to daring to be different.
Fell into the UA-cam Abyss after watching Ozzy's Induction to Rock & Roll HOF. AAHHH the 80's... Ozzy in his prime...So High ....Hair Perms on guys that shred...and of course the synthesizer with classic. RR licks! Kick ass show and period in time for Metal! (minus the Synth). Long live Prince of Darkness! CONGRATULATIONS! and of course..... THANKS FOR ALL THE MUSIC!!!!!
FINALLY! After seeing bits and pieces of Ozzy's set over the years, starting with the 3 songs per band that MTV gave us way back when, then other posts here on UA-cam, this is so GOOOOD. Full set, guitar mixed strong, band sounds amazing, crowd going rapid. Brilliant. THX U!
I was there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was stunned about guess who ? And I was going too one gig a week for nearly one year in London and so Reading and Monsters 1980
The band was really, really tight here. Very impressed. Tommy never disappoints. I’m usually not a big fan of Ozzy’s traditionally loud keyboards over the years - but if you really pay attention to this, Jake and Don did some pretty intricate double harmonies and riffs all throughout this gig.
holy shit I know i'm getting old now so I forget things but I think this is the first time I have seen the video with "fairies wear boots" ... christ this is awesome
❤this ! I was there(all weekend). I’ve seen a few versions of this show, this is the first to have ALL the songs, including Faries wear boots. Outstanding!😎🎸
Jake may not have been my favorite but i thought he was the most skilled of all the west coast 80s Gunslingers, he was already amazing here and just kept getting better during his time with Ozzy.
My gawd Jake kicked major arse here!!!! He joined Ozzy just a few months earlier, yet he could pick up every song here. Jake is forever my favorite Ozzy guitarist. The difference between Jake and Zakk is that Zakk IMO overplayed the guitar -- especially the pre-Zakk songs. Jake stuck to the original styles of Randy and Tony the best he could, keeping the spotlight on Ozzy.
I love to watch this set...I've seen it 6 times or so and Jake is just freaking crazy to watch on his "Fiddle"...baaaaaalmao , the faces he makes and stuff😂...they sounded amazing that day and forward on....puts me in a good mood watching this! Oz was so handsome! One of the best Front Men of all time!!
Randy Rhoads was the best songwriter, but Jake E. Lee was THE right guy for the job. Everyone has their favorite Ozzy guitar player but for what you needed in the 80s - the technique, the skills, the looks, the moves - Jake brought it every night. Saw them in Feb 84 in Cleveland and Jake was unstoppable
brilliant! thanks for posting. also gives me continued hope that someone, somewhere, someday will uncover full high quality footage from Randy Rhoads era touring.
Jake just flat owning those songs. Bark at the Moon was written by this lineup. Both Bob Daisley and Jake not getting proper credit or payment for those songs.
@@noahmartin9526yep, that’s why the album says “all songs written by Ozzy Osbourne” and you know darn well Ozzy is not good enough to come up with songs like Rock And Roll Rebel 😂
Lee, Aldridge, Sarzo. Killer classic lineup! Sounds so good. When Ozzy's not singing, he reminds me of that cat that with the homemade Sabbath shirt that was peaking at the '75 Don Kirshners rock concert set. My 1st ever concert was that lineup, that year, in Tampa
What’s up with boomers and their mentality of thinking that everything is “underrated”? It’s so cringe and annoying. Jake is easily the fan favorite. The majority of fans cite him as their favorite Ozzy guitarist. There are underrated musicians out there, but the biggest and most beloved names in rock are not them.
@@evanoglesby9504 More overlooked, but not really underrated in his day. We grew up viewing Randy as a hero who never really went away. Jake’s era was short and a low point for Oz. Sharon released Randy Rhodes Tribute in ‘87. It sold well and was followed by Ozzy’s FIRST successful US tour. It was celebrating Randy with the new gun named Zakk who was instantly loved and stuck around to make some great records. That era was a huge comeback for Ozzy. Zakk gets praised for saving Ozzy by breathing new life into him. Jake is very overlooked but certainly not underrated. If you play guitar and love Ozzy, you know it’s Tony, Randy, and Jake only.
Damn Jake E Lee holding those notes without a vibrato bar is I N S A N E❗️The Ozzman sounds great as always and same with Tommy Aldridge! Unfortunately idk who Bob Daisly and Don Airey are (Sorry people in the comments section don’t END me I’m young) Wow thank you for the upload, 🤘🏻🤩🤘🏻
The only 2 guitarist I did not see with Ozzy was Randy and Bernie. I would say Jake had the thinnest sound out of all the Ozzy guitarist I’ve seen live with Ozzy while being the most unorthodox of them all meaning hard to copy. Definitely badass!
Jake E F*cking LEE Was the GOAT! He went on to join the band Badlands with Ray Gillen Greg Chaisson and Jeff Martin there best album was Voodoo Highway!! 🖤
I absolutely DESPISE directors who never get the cameras to focus on guitarists when they are playing a solo. 🤬 Btw, Jake absolutely nailed Randy's solo on Over The Mountain. 👏
There's an OUTSTANDING Tommy's DRUM SOLO-35:05 Even when he drops the sticks, it's wild!!🫨!❤ The Magnificent Ozzy, No matter When or Where I see him perform.
He was amazing that day. It was about 95 degrees at that time with no breeze. We were all on dirt. They used water hoses to try to keep us cooler. Ozzy started a string that ended with Van Halen. I don’t count Quiet Riot or Motley Crue. It was the greatest day of rock in my life of 1700 concerts spanning 48 years
I love Zach Wild,but Jake E Lee was definitely the man to fill Randy's shoes!! I heard Sharon as usual stuck her nose where it doesn't belong! Ozzy fried his brain wayyy too soon and he had no idea!!
Ozzy STILL sounds so much better than...Vince Neil (nowadays). Can't understand a damn thing Vince "sings" during the recent live Crue concerts. My vote is for Ozzy!
Great show! That said, it's a shame the fact that Don Costa (Ozzy's bass player back then) was fired minutes before this show. He brought his entire family to see him play and he was humiliated by Sharon.
Not to ever rush in to defend Sharon, or Ozzy for luring Don Costa in close, to as to whisper something to him, just to head butt Don Costa in the face, breaking his nose. & Yet someone should tell the tale & backstory that left Don bloodied, without a job, as his family was gathered there to see him & his sister Costa perform, Don’s sister being a lingerie model & a dancer who performed that night with Van Halen that night. Don, after being warned repeatedly, to keep away from young girls & stop walking out in front of Ozzy on stages to steal the spotlight, as Ozzy was singing & performing, yet he kept on doing all of it purposely. All of which really should have go without even saying, to never do. But Don wouldn’t be swayed, and later egomaniacally bragged to a roadie, how he still kept walking out in front of Ozzy, whenever Sharon wasn’t looking! When the roadie immediately went & told Sharon, who pretended to walk off, but doubled back & caught Don red handed, doing it again! So Don really brought it on himself, & then received a very humbling lesson at the US fest, where he was left bloody, broken & then learned he was fired, as his family had gathered there, to see him perform at the U.S. fest. Ozzy had to pay $5K to have get Don a nose job. That said most Ozzy fans were glad that Bob Daisley returned & got to play the Ozzy material again, that Bob had helped Randy Rhoads to create. Don Costa’s short stint with Ozzy was a cautious tale, he should have known the opportunity he had, as Bob Daisley was waiting in the wings, Don should have known all along that he was just a hired gun, working in Ozzy’s band, at it most tumultuous point in history, under a notoriously vengeful, wicked manager. Don was already on thin ice, after repeatedly attempting to steal the spotlight like a pure moron, & then Don senselessly pushed his luck even further, all to get caught again trying to steal the spotlight. Don should have been more self aware not to brag to a roadie, about still getting away with breaking the stage rules, as if he was the main attraction? Even before his short stint with Ozzy, Don had been a sickly twisted, minor figure in rock music history. Reportedly: Born in San Diego, the teenage Don Costa stole his first ever Bass guitar and taught himself to play. Local bands inevitably followed, before the lure of Hollywood. His first L.A. band was Dante Fox (who later became Great White) Although Don dismissed them later as 'g@y noise crap', Dante Fox certainly gave Costa the opportunity to develope his over the top stage behaviors. It was here that he first strapped a cheese grater onto the back of his Bass so that at one stage in the set he'd turn his bass over and start shredding his knuckles on it, resulting in blood and flesh flying everywhere. Less dramatically, he was also known for punching in his bass speaker cabinets and doing unusual things with a pick-axe. In August 1982 Costa joined up with Blackie Lawless and his suitably wild & sick outfit WASP, but their perverse personalities clashed and after just one gross gig, he'd quit WASP to form his own band, Damien. & Damien were about as close to total deplorable outrage as it was possible to get away with, in that hedonistic drunken, drug fueled era. With session men on guitar and bass, Don Costa played bass and sang (like a dying dog) and wrote all the songs, sensitive ditties with titles like Hate thy Neighbor, Shredded Meat (the hymn to his cheese grater stunt) and Twelve and Under (a perverse pedo paean to underage girls) Off stage, Don had an obsession with sex that Freud would have found very interesting, telling reporters later, how he liked to tape record and photograph himself 'in action'. Eventually he was planning to involve some sex acts on stage with Damien, but thankfully the Ozzy audition put a stop to that. Hearing of Ozzy’s auditions, Costa sent along a tape of his songs and a set of suitably crazy pictures, got a call to prove it in front of Ozzy, where Don passed with flying colours. It goes on to mention that in 1983 with Ozzy's notable list of addiction problems and depression, Ozzy was stuck out on a extended tour that he wasn't enjoying, & inevitably someone was going to be a casualty, & this time the perverted Don Costa, after being caught in hotel rooms with one too many squealing underage age girls & stealing Ozzy’s spotlights, one too many times, Don Costa met Ozzy’s bloody axe Although at first amused by the cranky Californian, Ozzy soon tired of Don egocentric and erotic excesses. Ozzy said if Don Costa, “That guy is the proverbial maniac, he'd fu€k a frog if he could get it to stop moving,'Ozzy said. ‘He wouldn't go on stage unless he'd fu€ked three groupies a night, every night & Don liked em so young, that it was a huge liability, and we just couldn’t dissuade him, although we thought we had got through to him, but I turned out that he used to sneak off at all hours to collect their tiny knickers, & we discovered that he hidden had this awful box just full of them He was just like Rasputin, the mad twisted monk.” In the end, Ozzy of all people grew sick of it all and broke Costa's nose. Ultimately Don retired his cheese grater bass, & dreams of being in the spotlight & was rarely ever heard from again by his family, where according to his sister, he went on to a have a quiet career as a house painter. Ozzy & Sharon have left a trail of many, far less deserving victims in their wake, than Don Costa...😖
@@dr.know-it-all5148I zoomed in to make sure. The right hand is a sweat band for sure but the left hand is a glove. It even has the Velcro strap and you can see his fingers going through the cut outs.
@@randybutternubs1209 wow! Distance seventh. I’m no aficionado, I’d love to learn more why you think so. Is he just not good for Ozzy or something about his playing in general ? I have to admit I had a great time at a Wylde concert here in Detroit’s Fox theater
This was after speak of devil. Brad Gilis filled those big shoes quite well, but didn't wanna remain a permanent member, because he had his thing with night ranger, I also think that he saw how controlling Sharon was. Ozzy was her money making puppet, and she was greedy as hell, she's the reason Ozzy has had a gazillion band members.
Nope, people didn't cry about shit like that back then. It was a great time. I was 5 years old in 83', but none of that crap started until cancel culture started.
Apparently Don Costa turned up backstage thinking he was still in the band and playing the gig. Don had family an friends with him,so Sharon walked up to him and fired him in front of them,saying we've got Bob Daisley on bass now. She set it up to humiliate Don in the worst possible way. RIP Don Costa.
Jake E. fooking Lee! Ozzy and Jake should have made about 7 more albums together. Wow.
JAKE E. LEE Thanks for making me love Rock and Roll
In this video Jake doesn't know yet how badly the Osbournes will fuck him over credits and subsequent firing. That's why he's so happy ;-)
Surprising Sharon hasn't taken this down! I was there!
What’s the story??? Dose she control him or something
she's too busy spoon feeding Ozzy these days.
I met her on the Ozzfest tour in 2000. She was always very sweet to me, but at the same time, everyone on the tour knew not to do anything that would cross her or piss her off, or else she would destroy your life.
@@chebrneck Parkinson's is no joke and I don't wish it up anyone.
Imagine Parkinsons and you have to deal with Sharon and the smell of Dogsht? 😂
Of all the great guitarist. Jake is one that doesn't use a tremolo bar! Wow!
I never noticed that. I wonder what the percentage 80's guitar shredder types did not use one?
only 12%
@@MultiSkyman1 pretty sure it was around 16,35%.

This was the U.S. festival may 1983..
7 months later i saw this band with Ozzy in The Netherlands.
10th of december 1983 never will forget it.
Jake E. Lee is a true Master. Here he demonstrates it. Guitar God in the flesh.
Tommy Aldridge in his prime, yet still a fkn legend!!❤💥 Long live Ozzy!!!
Fell into the UA-cam Abyss after watching Ozzy's Induction to Rock & Roll HOF.
AAHHH the 80's...
Ozzy in his prime...So High ....Hair Perms on guys that shred...and of course the synthesizer with classic. RR licks! Kick ass show and period in time for Metal! (minus the Synth). Long live Prince of Darkness!
CONGRATULATIONS!
and of course.....
THANKS FOR ALL THE MUSIC!!!!!
The speed and power of Tommy Aldrige is phenomenal.... They should have been for much more longer together in this constelation ❤️🔥
They sound incredible! Jake is spot on and amazing!!
In addition to his prowess, Jake had a melodic side that really resonated with me. I've never seen some of this. Thanks!

Jake E Lee. My favorite guitar player after Randy.
I think he was better than randy, he played for all the best bands and singers.
What a great band and Ozzy sounds in excellent form! Fantastic footage! Thanks for posting!
THE PHENOM JAKE E LEE SOUNDS LIKE 3 GUITARS BY HIMESELF,,,THE PHENOM,,
Amazing! So much energy. Seen Ozzy with Jake E. Lee in Brussels those years.
Tommy and Bob, what a monstrous rhythm section
Got to be there...Ozzy was in good form. Thanks for posting this, brings back great memories.
holy shit I know i'm getting old now so I forget things but I think this is the first time I have seen the video with "fairies wear boots" ... christ this is awesome

Jake ripped that thing to f+cking shreds!
Bass and Drum are sounding great here

Bob Daisley is the bass player. He also wrote virtually all of Ozzys lyrics. One of the great hard rock lyricists.

Jake E Lee que estilo, el nació con la estrella que es , eres el mejor que , dejen descansar a Randy, dejo su legado
Best show Ozzy did after Randy passed..
Personally I’d give that honor to Kansas City 1986
Anyone know what band Jake started after Ozzy? Badlands! Big hit "Dreams in the dark"!
Ozzy had his Mardi Gras costume on 🤣
great drummer and guitarist. Was this before or after Judas priest?
Rhoads All Day!! RIP 🪦🤘🏼🙏
Question. Are the only recordings of the US Speak Of The Devil Tour shows this and Rockford?
Speak of the Devil had Brad and Rudy
This was after speak of devil. Brad Gilis filled those big shoes quite well, but didn't wanna remain a permanent member, because he had his thing with night ranger, I also think that he saw how controlling Sharon was. Ozzy was her money making puppet, and she was greedy as hell, she's the reason Ozzy has had a gazillion band members.
Ow my fukin god look the batterist 31:00
Did the NAACP ever go after ozz for the stage entrance?
Nope, people didn't cry about shit like that back then. It was a great time. I was 5 years old in 83', but none of that crap started until cancel culture started.
なまら 懐かしい！

Aldridge f-ing nails! Dee Snider level fro
No love for Bob Daisley on bass who, like everyone else, is shitting it and getting it.
Apparently Don Costa turned up backstage thinking he was still in the band and playing the gig.
Don had family an friends with him,so Sharon walked up to him and fired him in front of them,saying we've got Bob Daisley on bass now.
She set it up to humiliate Don in the worst possible way.
RIP Don Costa.
JAKE IS THA MAN
