I got a Comment on my Youtube from someone who attended the memorial & saw the Footage shown by Ozzys camp.

He Commented
" i got to see the trailor at the memorial and tht preformance on this video "

So I wrote back asking more details & he wrote me back this!!!

"SURE DUDE butlike it only showed me half the performance. i saw crazy train ,flying high again ,suiciede solution ,revelation mother earth ,and mr.crowly ....... its all in a box set that comes with the documentary neverbbeforseen footage two of the origonalrecords of bizzard and diary . and a 100 page book and a replicaof the gold cross ozzy wears n its comein out may 31st i cant wait
"

Now Its even harder for me to wait knowing were gonna see Randy playing Flying High!!!

I hope this is true because seeing and hearing revalation, suicide and flying high again would make my decade. roll on tuesday the 31st of may.

Yeah... i was thinking the other day the 2 songs i would like to see on it the most are Revelation and Flying High. Thats awsesome!!

I'm pumped about No Bone Movies also... i just like the more obscure tracks.

I Just cant waitt to see ANYTHING Clear really!! But Flying High is a personal favorite to see Randy w/the Concord!! like 1st 1/2 of Believer on the NY Vid like the pic here,only Close & Clear!!


I Really am looking forward to seeing their Faces/eye contact Ozz & Randy,such Magic!! Just watching the 2 1/2 songs from NY that do exsist,the way Ozzy is pulling Randys hair & makin faces throughout Crazy Train.....Im speechless just imagining it!

It kind of seems to me that this guy is just bullshitting about some of what he claims to have seen; or possibly some people got to see a little more of the footage than others ? I say this because i've seen posts from quite a few different people who claimed to be at the memorial, and they all said that the songs they were shown were steal away, crazy train, mr crowley, and no bone movies Never saw anything at all about suicide solution, flying high, or revelation... Can anyone confirm what this guy is saying ? Maybe he just kind of lied and said he saw those songs just cause he figures they'll be on the DVD anyways?...

However Slob', if people have seen No Bone Movies and then the filmer stopped filming he will have recorded I Dont Know,
Crazy Train, Believer, Mr Crowley, Flying High Again, Revelation, Steal Away, Drum Solo before winding it all up on No Bone Movies! so chances are what was claimed could still be true even if it was enthuised some what.

The person to ask would be Frank Santa Cruz, if you were looking for absolution as to what was shown at the memorial.
I considered it, but I don't really know the man.

Dave what book or mag is this pic from ?.

I think Frank was in too much of a jaw dropping state to remember what he was watching and what tracks he could hear ?. Frank if your seeing this could you chime in please.

This is from the "Collectors/New edition" of Rudys Off the Rails
Dont know why he'd make that up???? About being at the memorial.Frank at RRTK said Mr.Crowley,Steal away & "I cant remember what others because I was in Shock"?He said he saw the Trailer & a few Songs??

Cheers Dave, I didn't know this had been released with a new set of pics. Any other interesting pics in the book.

I don't think he answers his PM's anymore, but I am sure somebody who knows him well could ask him and forward the answer to us. I hope the right person reads this.

Yeah,if you have the 1st edition (whitch I do) it is Just Straight Text w/the B&W Pics (from his personal collection) in the middle (And ALOT of Type-O's)
But this New Edition is VERY Nice,High End,really I was getting Rubbed a little Wrong when last Year he was on that Metal Show & other interviews online Still Promoting his Book! It made me think of whe stuff that Kevin Dubrow had said about the declining of the Doc in 2007.How He said some people had Alterior Motives & Later it was said that Rudy was some kinda Co-Producer & They (Dakota films) Were going out of their way to not let Kevin find out because they knew hed decline then
But the 1s must have done well enough that he got a Better Publishing eal,Fixed the Type-O's & now it Has a Very Nice Layout w/fonts & Pics spread throughout it & Quotes Highlighted at the sides of Pages like "Ozzy pulled out a single Gram vial of Blow & asked me ,you wanna bump" & shit like that to make it appear Juicy to the average Joe flippin through it at a store.
And A Full Glossy HQ Photo section ,Lots from Ross Haflin,so obviously the Publisher Paid Ross for all those Pics.Overall...it is Alot better now,just Shockingly different from the 1st edition

Many thanks to Frank Santa Cruz who kindly replied with the following to my query:

"hi tom. i can say with certainty that crazy train, no bone movies, mr. crowley and steal away were the songs i saw. the other songs were not part of the 'teaser' that we saw that day. hope that helps.

btw, we had a belated birthday visit with delores today. let everyone know that she's in good spirits and doing well. well enough to get bored."

Not that I doubt your word, D. Maybe the guy from yt was just blowing smoke for the sake of it. I would imagine those present at the memorial saw the exact same clip.
On a side note, I do appreciate the serious bloodhound work you've been doing to find any and all new info for the community, Dave

Thats fantastic news Tom, and at least I know frank is still around in some manner. I think seeing No bone movies live will be very exciting because it was played live so few times. And live versions of all the other songs mentioned does already exist although not fantastic quality we do at least get to see the maistro in action.
