After more than four decades of performing, Ozzy Osbourne is still out there pleasing his legion of fans. In his official “album release” show for his new record Scream, Ozzy looked as polished as a veteran performer, and as spry as a young rocker.
For the duration of his 1 hour set, Ozzy had the crowd in a frenzy. “Bark at the Moon” started the set and led the way for Ozzy’s newest single “Let Me Hear You Scream. ” Ozzy’s backing band was one of the most meticulous and talented I’ve ever heard, and it was evident as they cruised through Ozzy megahits like “Mr. Crowley” and “Suicide Solution.” Ozzy has always liked to drench the crowd, and Sunday night was no exception. Like a sniper he would size up the first five or six rows of people and without warning soak them with huge buckets of water. Sneak attacks came courtesy of Evian. Between songs Ozzy would grab a drink from a fresh 1 liter bottle, and without capping it would launch it into the unsuspecting crowd.
Ozzy continued his frenetic pace with his 1986 hit “Shot in the Dark,” but it was his Black Sabbath classics “Iron Man” and “Paranoid” finishing the show that really satisfied the sold out crowd.
Ozzy is a universal talent. There were old rockers a plenty, but I saw three young children on their parents shoulders singing every word to “Crazy Train.” As a consummate showman it was a marvel to watch Ozzy strut his stuff. I encourage you to check out his new record Scream when it hits stores June 22nd, and check out Ozzfest this summer if it visits a city near you!
