I am hoping that we will be hosting the footage in a few weeks, get in touch with me by PM Dane and I might be able to get some footage to you.

my god there must be footage! there is every kind of footage of ozzy before and after randy.
there is even good footage of randy before ozzy.
there is footage somewhere. there has to be.

Hi Dane

That peice of film is nothing to be exited about sadley its about 10 seconds of a converstaion with no sound. I think the most interesting for you would be the Chicago 24 Jan 1982 audience film. But only if you get to see a good quality copy.

I have been told about a peice of film recorded on the 1980 tour which is only 1 song in lengh and I have spent a couple of years tracking it down. I really hope that I can get to it before March nexy year, it would be one hell of a way for us on this site to celebrate Randy.

Anymore info you could give us?

Think about this, Ozzy's first tour on his own after Black Sabbath, don't you think they wanted to document that in some way?
Won't be suprise to me if there is footage of a whole 1980 blizzard gig somewhere.......

And yep, I also heard rumors of existing footage with Randy, Bob and Lee. But considering the issues Bob and Lee have with the Ozzy camp, how likely willl it be that it ever will be released........?

A very reliable close friend of many years was shown Mr Crowley a while ago. And since we have been trying to get a copy of it but it has been a tough battle to obtain even a few seconds of it.

That's some very interesting info you got there Trigger.
And when there is footage of one song then it will be not that unlikely that maybe a few other songs of that gig are also filmed, right?

Could your friend tell more about the quality of that footage, was it pro-footage?

I know this is kind of irrelevant considering that any Randy footage is a brilliant gift to mankind but what guitar tone did Randy have, was Rudy or Bob onstage? Stuff like that would be interesting to know.

Cool! Thanx.

HI Dutch

No it wasn't pro shot it was one camera with much of the focus on Lee's drums with Ozzy and Randy in shot. Much more than that I dont really want to say. But a claim has been made that the Manchester show was filmed by a member of the band crue. This might mean that a new show from 1980 is around now because the Manchester show might be a mislable of the 1980 Leeds show. But to sort that one once and for all we will need to see the Manchester video and compare the audio.

Thanks!
I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to obtain that footage.......

*btw I also heard rumors that the Glasgow (Apollo theatre) show was filmed also.

Ozzy spent so much cash having that set built and he would want to see what it looked like when as he performed on it. He didnt need to be vain to see what it looked like for the guys in the audience.
I am convinced Ozzy has some Diary footage at home.

I've never thought of it that way, I'm sure you're right. I've seen bits and bobs that he could have used for this but I'm sure that he would have wanted to watch an entire gig to see all of the effects like Ronnie hanging, The hand, the chair, stuff like that.

If afterhours exists there has to be others....and SO is putting a lid on it.
