If all you know about Ozzy Osbourne is what you learned watching him on that miserable MTV show, The Osbournes, then you should be legally obliged to buy this concert film from his legendary 1982 Diary of a Madman tour. Fans of his music can tell you why this show is so important in the Ozzy cannon, of how it was the first tour that he did following the untimely death of his soul brother/guitarist Randy Rhoads. All you need do is settle back and listen. The set list, ranging from the new material of the time to some classic Black Sabbath, is strong, and while even the idea of a drum solo is a bit antiquated now, it’s fun to watch Tommy Aldridge bang away (but probably only the first time you watch the DVD). The best thing about the show though, is the crazy guy with the microphone. Osbourne’s voice is powerful throughout the concert, and his energy level is infectious. Sure there’s true madness in his eyes, but that only adds to the experience.
