The re-release from a couple years back w/ the live RR album as a bonus is top notch.
I think I should get this. What's the quality of the live show like?
excellent...right on par with Tribute.
Agreed. It's maybe not quite as polished, but it's very close in quality that you could easily confuse the two. It's not too different to what you get on Tribute in terms of setlist and performance, but it's another good live record of Randy Rhoads, so that makes it worth it.
And I also don't know how you could but The Ultimate Sin over many his other albums. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good album and I still listen to it plenty, but it can't compete with Blizzard, Diary, or No More Tears imo (and for me Ozzmosis which is hugely underrated).
I'd probably put it level with BATM, with BATM being less consistent but having much better songs, and TUS being more consistent, but not having the high points.
That said, I love pretty much all Ozzy albums, with his most recent being the only one I'd consider completely worthless.
