I have only listened to this a couple of times but the first 2 tracks are the same as the album and 'Faries wear boots' is a different version. I do remember that they played one less song on the first night and I think it was 'Sabbath bloody Sabbath'DayNah wrote:Are there any songs that didn't make the album? I always wondered if "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" was edited during the mix, or did they purposely leave out the "bridge" part?....
Any chance you'll ever put up the bootleg for us all to enjoy?Trigger wrote:I have only listened to this a couple of times but the first 2 tracks are the same as the album and 'Faries wear boots' is a different version.

When I first heard the album back in 1982 I remember loving 'Never say die' and I was delighted that the boot I have has a different version to the album.
I think I shoud re-listen to the boot and post a thread about differences between it and the boot show I have.
I was told a while ago that they played 4 shows in total 2 as warm ups and the later 2 were recorded for the album! I am not sure how true that is.

NORMAN: 5 total. I did 2 albums for Ozzy at Ridge Farm. In 1982 did the 3rd record, Speak of the Devil with guitarist Brad Gillis (Ozzy, Night Ranger, Vicious Rumors). We took a truck down to the Palace in NYC and record live for about a 2,000-seater hall. Since Ozzy was on a limited budget and fulfilling a contractual obligation with Jet for 2 more records. They could only do this one time. So I made Ozzy play a whole show in the afternoon with no audience and record that. Keep that in the can, and then if something happens on the night or is no good. At least we've got a choice and we'll have more material to draw from. Three of the tracks on that record were done in the afternoon and not live in front of the audience. If you got nothing to do for a couple of days you could just lie there and listen to them in the headphones and figure out which songs had the real audience and which ones didn't. I did Ozzy's 4th record Bark at the Moon at The Power Station back in New York in 1983. Ridge Farm Studio was losing money at that point so I flew Concord Air to NYC to start mixing because we were so short of time. Tribute was the last record I did with Ozzy.
KNAC.COM: I always thought Brad Gillis never got enough credit for taking Randy's place during the Diary of a Madman Tour. He nailed everything.
NORMAN: Brad’s a great player and a nice guy. I think that's why Ozzy got him. He's good enough to play any of that stuff. Rudy Sarzo was not a particularly accomplished bass player I'm afraid. He's a showman. I liked Tommy Aldrige. He's a great drummer.
It's the same vest... if you use the search function you can find a long, convoluted thread about that vest. Someone joined here in the early days of this site who actually owned that vest and wanted to give it to Randy's family.El Cochino wrote:One thing I always wondered... if you see photos of Brad during the Madman tour, you notice that he is usually wearing the same leather studded vest Randy wore... is that the same vest or was one made for Brad?
Just to update, the lady who had the vest wasn't a member here, that was at a board therhoadslesstravelled and I had years back called Speak of the Devil so I'm sure all those references to what happened to that vest are long gone...Paul Wolfe wrote:It's the same vest... if you use the search function you can find a long, convoluted thread about that vest.
