Ultimate Rhoads

im still a bootleg novice, but I've noticed subtle differences from show to show and have some favorites and wanted the hardcore fans insight. The blizzard versions of Crazy Train with the long intro is killer and I favor Kerslake's drumming over Aldridge's and personally think Sarzo's bass intro on Believer sounds off on some concerts (Kalamazoo). Special thanks to Trigger for supplying limitless hours of great music!

I like Revelation and Mr Crowley from Port Vale.

I have always really liked the Offenbach Germany show for some reason.

Believer from Montreal, Actually i would say every song from that show is probably my favorite version!

revelation from montreal, paraoid from longbeach and milwauke

I think the later Blizzard (band) shows were really good, like the band had formed a good chemistry, some of my favorites being "You lookin at Me" and "Children of the Grave".
I really like the '82 shows for gems like"Over the Mountain", but some shows seemed to start going heavy on the keyboards. The best thing though, is that thanks to Randy's genius and Ozzy's varying amounts of drug and alcohol use on that night, each show is unique in its own way!

Crazy Train from Cardif 81 is goos as is Paranoid from Montreal and providence, Iron man from the show (15 Jan 82) is good due to one killer note Randy bends at this show.
