Description
Theatre St-Denis, Montreal, QC, Canada 28th July 1981 STEREO SBD
UPGRADE!!!
The Montreal performance, also known as the one featured in the official traditional work “TRIBUTE,” has been released as a complete soundboard album, allowing you to experience the full show! It will be released as a press CD to permanently preserve the legend!
What is engraved on this work is, of course, the stereo soundboard recording of the “July 28, 1981 Montreal Performance.” The Montreal performance soundboard, along with the Cleveland performance, is known as the source material for “TRIBUTE” and is a classic staple that has become a symbol of the Randy Rhoads era. However, until now, there has been no live album that allows you to experience the full show. This work is a record that quenches that thirst and makes the dreams of enthusiasts a reality.
To explain the details, let’s start with some basic knowledge. This is a good opportunity to look back at the sound board situation in Randy’s time.

[The soundboard circumstances that became the source of TRIBUTE]
Here is a list of soundboards from Randy’s time. Of these, the three performances that became the source of “TRIBUTE” were “October 2, 1980 Southampton Performance (probably),” “May 11, 1981 Cleveland Performance,” and “July 28, 1981 Montreal Performance.” This is a good opportunity to organize how they were used.

■ “TRIBUTE” Analog A, B
, C, and D Sides: Most of the Show
; Montreal Performance (This Work): “Suicide Solution” and Guitar Solo
■ “TRIBUTE” Analog D Side
: Southampton Performance: “Goodbye To Romance” and “No Bone Movies”

; Montreal Performance (This Work): “Suicide Solution” and Guitar Solo
■ “TRIBUTE” Analog D Side
: Southampton Performance: “Goodbye To Romance” and “No Bone Movies”
…And that’s how it goes. “TRIBUTE” is a two-disc vinyl set with sides A and B recreating the concert from that time, and side D containing additional songs that don’t overlap with the main program. This resulted in a flow that would never have happened in a live performance, such as a ballad after the encore. The main Cleveland performance is famous for its full FM broadcast soundboard, and “DEFINITIVE TRIBUTE” and other classics are popular. Conversely, only a few tracks from “TRIBUTE” and singles have been found from the Southampton performance.
[A complete Montreal performance organized by the best master!]
Now, to the main topic, the Montreal performance.
Although only “Suicide Solution” and the guitar solo were used on “TRIBUTE,” the entire album was broadcast in small portions on FM, and has become a staple on albums like “DEFINITIVE TRIBUTE.” However, FM broadcasts are only “small portions.” Many previously released tracks have also been recorded in small portions, just as they were broadcast.
*Note: Some say that the official “OZZY LIVE” is a Montreal performance, but “Suiside Solution” is from the “May 2nd New York performance,” and some songs, such as “Iron Man,” are performed differently from the broadcast version. It cannot be called a “full Montreal live album.”
Even though there are all the songs, it’s hard to see the full picture of the disjointed show… This work addresses this situation from start to finish. The previously scattered takes for each broadcast have been reordered to match the actual song order, and the sounds of each take have been brought together as closely as possible. This reconstructs a seamless, full live album from the Montreal performance. The recordings used were “THE KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR” from the September 13, 1981 broadcast and “BEST OF THE BISCUIT” from the May 2, 1982 broadcast. While both are familiar broadcasts from previous releases, the best masters of each have been carefully selected. The DJ parts have been removed as much as possible, making it the longest live album possible. Finally, let’s check the distribution.
◆Performances on “THE KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR”
– Early part: I Don’t Know/Crazy Train/Believer/Mr. Crowley
– Late part: Iron Man/Children Of The Grave
◆Performances on “BEST OF THE BISCUIT”
– Middle part: Flying High Again/Revelation (Mother Earth)/Steal Away (The Night)/Drum solo/Suicide Solution (★)/Guitar solo (★)
– End: Paranoid
◆Another performance: Opening with Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana”
*Note: Parts marked with “★” are included in the official “TRIBUTE.”
– Early part: I Don’t Know/Crazy Train/Believer/Mr. Crowley
– Late part: Iron Man/Children Of The Grave
◆Performances on “BEST OF THE BISCUIT”
– Middle part: Flying High Again/Revelation (Mother Earth)/Steal Away (The Night)/Drum solo/Suicide Solution (★)/Guitar solo (★)
– End: Paranoid
◆Another performance: Opening with Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana”
*Note: Parts marked with “★” are included in the official “TRIBUTE.”
Only “Carmina Burana,” which announces the opening, is a Cleveland performance, but all the essential performance parts are Montreal. Although it is a familiar performance, it is impressive how it seamlessly forms a full show without any discomfort.
Until now, “True Tribute” has meant the Cleveland performance. This is the second full live album following that. This work itself is an official full soundboard from the Randy era, and it is also the final form of the classic Montreal performance soundboard. This is the ultimate album that makes the dreams of enthusiasts a reality. Please enjoy it anytime, anywhere with this permanently preserved press CD.
★A stereo soundboard recording of the “July 28, 1981 Montreal performance,” which is also the source material for “TRIBUTE.” A complete, full-length live album, rearranging the classic FM broadcast in the exact order of the actual performance. The sound of each take has been kept as close as possible, and DJ equipment has been removed as much as possible. This is the final form of the Montreal performance soundboard, achieving the highest level of perfection as a seamless musical work.
