Ultimate Rhoads

Just thought it was cool to commemorate the day Montreal was recorded, partial TRIBUTE. 7.28.81

Thanks for the reminder, memorable show!

Since the spotlight solo did appear on Tribute I think we can conclude this show was proffesionally recorded and I wonder if they ever gonna release this entire concert?

obviously its easy to get bootlegs of it, but whether they professionally release it after processing it etc i dont know. What a great show though and a memorable performance from the guys

A show to remember. Possibly should of been used instead of Cleveland on the tribute album but i think Randy's tone was MUCH better on Cleveland.

I agree Montreal is a better show, during July-August 1981 Randy was on fire. I don't think he ever played better in his entire career

Yeah! Cleveland is more a metal tone I guess and he als played better there imo.
Interesting thing is that the stage volume at Cleveland was not that loud because of the recording. (see Rudy's book) I always thought that show had to be real loud!

but I would say from May till August '81. (Cleveland was may 11th) To me that was the Ultimate Rhoads! (best playing and best tone!)

I agree, although go back and listen to the Towsen show which was Randy's first show with Ozzy in his home country, he was brilliant. I think Randy had perfected the songs by Cleveland but by July he had got the riffs and fills pefect!
