Play sample :
“Performance in Toronto on June 11, 2003” is imbued in this work. It is the best audience recording. Robert Trujillo served as bass until 2002, but withdrew to join METALLICA. On the contrary, Jason who left METALLICA joined Ozzy’s band and became a form of trading bass. However, Jason left the tour only. It was also the strongest lineup of bubbles. First of all, let’s look back on the schedule at that time.
《March: Jason Newsted Joins》
・ March 14: Las Vegas performance
・ June 1-16: Canada (8 performances) ← Coco
・ June 28-August 28: OZZFEST (31 performances) ← * Camden footage
《December: Jason Leaving》
・December 5th + 6th: TV appearance
This is Ozzy Osbourne in 2003. At that time, the TV program “Osbournes” was a big hit, and the demand for tours skyrocketed without even making a studio work. Jason joined in early spring and accompanied Ozzy as an arm until the end of the year. The schedule can be roughly divided into two, the “Canada” leg, which was a solo tour, and the US version “OZZFEST”. The Toronto performance of this work is the fifth performance of the “Canada” leg. Speaking of the Jason era, the pro shot of the Camden performance is also famous, but this work was a concert about two months ago.
This work recorded at such a show is truly superb. There is no doubt that it is an audience recording because realistic cheers fly between songs, but the essential performance sound has a very thick core and no sense of distance. The “Air Canada Center (currently: Scotiabank Arena)”, which became the site, is an indoor stadium with a roof and walls, but the sound is as clear and clear as if it were outdoors. As mentioned above, there is also a Camden performance pro shot in the Jason era, but to put it bluntly, this work surpasses the soundboard sound (lightly). While boasting a soundboard-class closeness, it is thicker and more dynamic, and it is the best kind of FM broadcast that deliberately overdub vivid cheers.
A long full show that is said to be the largest in his career is drawn with that close-knit dynamic sound. Since the above “Canada” leg had a series of long shows, it cannot be asserted whether this work is the longest memory of the one and only, but it is certain that the dimension is different from the normal show. Let’s organize the set here so that you can feel the volume of the number of songs.
Sabbath era (10 songs)
・Black Sabbath: The Wizard (★) / N.I.B. (★)
・Paranoid: War Pigs / Fairies Wear Boots (★) / Iron Man / Paranoid
・Master of Reality: After Forever (★) / Into The Void (★) / Sweet Leaf / Children Of The Grave
● Randy era (7 songs)
・Blizzard of Oz: Mr. Crowley/I Don’t Know/Goodbye To Romance/Suicide Solution/Crazy Train
・Diary of a Madman: Believer (★) / Flying High Again
After that (8 songs)
・No More Tears: No More Tears (★) / I Don’t Want To Change The World / Road To Nowhere / Mama I’m Coming Home
・Others: Bark At The Moon (★)/Miracle Man (★)/Fire In The Sky (★)/Gets Me Through (★)
* Note: “★” marks are songs that could not be heard in the 2003 Camden performance pro shot.
… and it looks like this. The Camden performance pro shot was about 90 minutes because it was part of OZZFEST, but this work has a total length of 2 hours and 47 minutes. It is a long long full show commonly called “marathon gig” by collectors.
Of course, most of the usual standard songs are covered, and a lot of rare songs are also introduced. At that time, the reunion of BLACK SABBATH was frequently done (or because Jason & Zack wanted it), and 10 songs were played, and the middle stage of the show was almost exhausted. Moreover, even rare “The Wizard” and “After Forever” are shown at the original show.
In addition, the solo repertoire includes “Miracle Man” after a long absence, “Fire In The Sky”, and even “Gets Me Through” unique to that time. 25 songs that are surprised that Ozzy remembered so many songs overflow one after another.
An all-star band with Jason, a superb sound that exceeds the sound board, and a long full show approaching 3 hours. It is a super entertainment blockbuster that is very fulfilling in both quality and quantity. Ozzy’s condition is very good as long as he does a long show, and in a sense it is a big picture scroll that will be the top of his career. Please enjoy the three-disc set to your heart’s content.
* Best audience recording of Jason Newsted era “Toronto performance on June 11, 2003”. The core is also very thick and the sense of distance is zero. There is also a Camden performance pro shot in the Jason era, but it is a superb sound that surpasses the soundboard sound (lightly) and is extremely thick. At the longest show in his career, he performed a total of 25 songs with plenty of rare songs such as “The Wizard”, “After Forever”, “Miracle Man”, “Fire In The Sky”. Sound / performance / number of songs … It is a 3-disc set of super entertainment masterpieces that are very fulfilling in all aspects.
