Speak of the Devil Reviews:
One of my all-time favorite live albums
2007-06-06 - Quite simply, I discovered the music of Black Sabbath through this album. Of course, I subsequently went back and revisited the original recordings but it was here that I heard them first. This band absolutely rocks these songs. In some cases (Wizard, Symptom) I like these versions better than original Sabbath (oh, blasphemy!) Brad Gillis absolutely rips on this album. I can't beleive he doesnt get more credit in guitar circles. I definitely prefer his version of Sabbath material over Rhoads playing on Tribute (more blasphemy!) Even Ozzy sounds good in his damaged way. Surprising, given the fact that this was recorded during one of his lowest / most inebriated spells. When I met Rudy Sarzo in person, I made a point to mention how much I loved this album. He seemed surprised. I dont know why.

A MUST Have!
2006-02-23 - I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who feels so strongly of this performance. Ozzy's vocals, Brad Gillis guitar work, Rudy Sarzos bass, and Tommy Aldridge's drumming are a absolute 10! All crystal clear audio. I'm only here looking to buy a new CD being my tape is so played out, I've been listening to for 20 years from the first time I recorded it. This album put's modern popular metal to shame. Should be front and center in any collection. Ozzy or Sabbath it's just awesome.

THE BEST LIVE ALBUM OF OZZY OSBOURNE POST SABBATH'S ERA!
2005-08-10 - AMAZING SOUND(DIGITAL REMASTERED)!
AMAZING LINEUP PERFORMANCE!
AMAZING PRODUCTION!
OUTSTANDING SABBATH-SET SONGS LINEUP PERFORMANCE!

Forgotten Gem
2004-01-06 - My apologies to Ozzy... I did not mean to take any food from your family's mouth, but I will admit now that I first owned this album as a pirated cassette I bought at the swap. I recall that the stickers on the side of the cassette were off centered and reversed (So I had to put in the side labeled "2" to listen to Side 1). I literally wore this tape out (and redeemed myself from my adolescent indiscretion by actually purchasing a legal copy of the album... in vinyl, of course!). This gem has been largely forgotten over the years. As a pimply faced metalhead kid, however, it was an essential part of my collection. The Sabbath songs get a new life with Ozzy's band. The production is crisp, and it avoids some of the muddled sound typical of live albums of the era. Yes, Tribute is a better representation of a live Ozzy show in the early 80's. But, at the time, this album was more Sabbath to me than Sabbath itself with either Dio or Ian Gillan. If you are a Sabbath/Ozzy fan and run accross this on CD, treat yourself to it. You might be pleasently surprised.

"Ozzy Updates His Classic Sabbath-Era Songs"
2003-10-16 - On this live album, Ozzy updates 13 of his best songs with Black Sabbath, by performing them in a live setting (recorded: 1982). Most of these tracks, if not all of them, are taken from the first three Black Sabbath albums. This means you get "Iron Man", "N.I.B.", "Black Sabbath", "Fairies Wear Boots", "War Pigs", "Sweet Leaf", "Children of the Grave", the under-rated "Wizard", & the over-rated "Paranoid." You also get some mediocre songs like "Never Say Die", "Symptom of the Universe", and "Snowblind", to top it off. Ozzy's singing is at it's best, Brad Gillis' guitar work resembles "Randy Rhoads", and Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge back up Ozzy so well. It's too bad this release wasn't remastered in 2002. The only existing version of this CD, is the "August 1995 Remaster", which is currently out-of-print. If you're an Ozzy or Black Sabbath fan please pick up this CD, while you still can.
