　The official masterpiece “LIVE & LOUD,” produced in 1992 at the height of their career, is a reissue of the original leaked soundboard series! It will be released as a 4-disc set with two titles!

　”LIVE & LOUD” is the official live album produced from Ozzy Osbourne’s retirement tour. It’s not just a live album; it’s a meticulously crafted masterpiece intended to sum up his career. This release features full soundboards from the four shows that served as the foundation for the album. Unlike official releases, these soundboards were leaked in 2013, allowing you to enjoy unprocessed, unedited live performances from all four shows. With four full concerts, there are a total of eight discs. This series will see two sets of four discs, each consisting of two shows and two discs.

　This work, the first part of this epic, includes the “Miami performance on August 14, 1992” and the “Orlando performance on August 16, 1992.” This is a stereo soundboard recording set. I mentioned the “retirement tour” earlier, but the tour related to “NO MORE TEARS” can actually be broadly divided into two: “THEATRE OF MADNESS Tour” and “NO MORE TOURS Tour.” This is a good opportunity to take a look back at the whole picture here.

(Ozzy Osbourne retires)

　This is Ozzy Osbourne in 1991/1992. The world tour, including the Japan performance, was the “THEATRE OF MADNESS Tour,” and the “NO MORE TOURS Tour” was only the final North American tour. It is generally believed that “LIVE & LOUD” was recorded on the “1991-1922 World Tour,” but due to the leak of the original soundboard, it was actually produced from the first four performances of “North America # 5.” This work is the first two performance sets.

　Now, let’s introduce each one individually.

[DISC 1-2: August 14th Miami Performance]
■Officially Adopted (2 Songs + Solo) Guitar Solo / Suicide Solution / No More Tears
　The opening of the four-performance series is the Miami performance soundboard from the first day of “North America #5.” These four performances include the original material for all the songs on “LIVE & LOUD” (excluding the re-arranged Sabbath and “Changes”), and the above two songs and a guitar solo were adopted from this Miami performance.

　Of course, it’s not an exact copy of the official recording, and the sound on this album is super raw. The mix and effects, which seem to have been made for the on-site PA, are spectacular, and even the mistakes and misses are left untouched. There are also some loud cheers between songs, but they’re raw and unstaged. The guitar solos are even better. The solos, which were edited to about four minutes on the official “LIVE & LOUD” release, are played for about ten minutes.

[DISC 3-4: August 16th Orlando Performance]
■ Officially adopted (8 songs) Paranoid / I Don’t Want To Change The World / Desire / Mr. Crowley / I Don’t Know / Road To Nowhere / Bark At The Moon / Crazy Train
　Next is the Oakland performance on the second day of “North America # 5”. In fact, this sound source is the most important sound board, and 8 songs are adopted for the official “LIVE & LOUD”. It is a full sound board worthy of being called “real version LIVE & LOUD” and “true LIVE & LOUD”.

　Looking at the breakdown of those eight songs, it’s also significant that the entire album, from the first track “Paranoid” to the sixth track “Road To Nowhere” from “LIVE & LOUD,” is used. The remaining two tracks are “Bark At The Moon,” the final track of the main set, and “Crazy Train,” the final encore. It can be said that the key elements of the show, such as the opening and highlights that define the image of the work, were all solidified in the Oakland performance. It’s clear how outstanding this show was.

　This is a leaked soundboard series that reveals the true nature of the masterpiece “LIVE & LOUD.” This is the first part of a four-disc set. It features a Miami performance where you can fully enjoy the scorching guitar solo, and the most important Oakland performance, which makes up the majority of the official version. This is not just a prequel, but an absolute masterpiece that lets you enjoy the two most delicious performances in their entirety on a direct-connected soundboard. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content!
