Very good points Idol! I've tried to look for info on River Flats Jam, but not much luck... It's the usual; when it comes to Randy's time with Ozzy, there's not much anything. Photos are scarce, bootlegs a few and not a chance of video!!! If Randy would have lived, say 5 years more, there would hav...

These are a nice collection of candid pics, for sure. Love the shot of the band on stage. Looks like the Day on the Green gig. Thanks for sharing! I think it's earlier than DOTG. Likely a gig from april/may 1981. Was it River Flats Jam in Minneapolis on may 25th? Randy and Rudy wearing leather jack...

So, Osbournes were supposed to move back to England, they must've changed their minds about that

Actually, Tommy Aldridge mentioned having boxfuls (?) of soundboard tapes, then it could be possible that even some soundchecks were recorded. For some bands it was common procedure to record the soundboard tape of the show. Heck, Venom apparently recorded most of their rehearsals :

These photos are from itinerary-book (I think it was), it was auctioned on some site, but as I was late for the party, I only managed to save some photos. Most are from 1980 in the UK and some from USA 1981

Oh my! Well, I spent the whole summer working too. Now it's been raining almost nonstop for some time. Some flooding expected too :| In september, if everything goes to plan, my band should start working on the new album. So that's at least something!!! And in October should have a bit holidays with...

Does anyone know of any other bootlegs from German leg of tour, besides "Ozzy Osbourne Reigns Over Germany"?

Any updates on this?

There should more, better video from this gig!!!

I wish we could eloborate on this subject!!! I cannot think of anything valuable to add, at the moment, but this is one of those subjects that keep you intrigued

Did Ozzy arrive with Thelma and Louis? At least they are in some of the backstage-photos from Port Vale Well, Sharon was there to stir up things, so...
I wouldn't mind a poster of Randy, from some of those Port Vale-photos. Heck, wouldn't even mind a photo of whole band on stage!!!

Same message came three times, well... Sorry about that!!!

Oh yes, Garry Sharpe-Young's The Story Of The Ozzy Osbourne Band, right? I remember that was/is a good book!!!
Good reminder, maybe I have to get that one.
I was thinking of getting Randy Rhoads: A Life-book, but not sure if it's any good...
