Ozzy Osbourne - Believer (Speak of the Devil - 1982)

This is such a powerful performance by the band, Brad Gillis jumping into such big shoes of Randy Rhoads who tragically died months before this shot and aired on MTV. And this must be the best they captured it at the time, the rest of the band is on fire, and Ozzy... and he is just an overdubbed version of himself! Eagle Rock remastered version, officially authorised release in 2012. As Rudy Sarzo said, you have to keep in mind the death of Randy Rhoads completely changed how the band felt on that tour, especially Ozzy, but they still manage to pull through like this video clip shows!

I recommend it), when they went to see the final product in Jet Records studios, he mentioned the Osbourne’s dislikes of the edited lasers (as this was shot outdoors, the fog for the lasers dissipated, not correctly shown them), Ozzy called the bats and all the decorations made by the lasers “crap“ and said the bats look like “bloody squirrels with wings“, classic Ozzy.
