@@rabarebra Dude, I feel you. Can't read it anymore. You can't click on one single rockvideo without this "underrated" crap in the comments. Especially because it's not true most of the time. Jake E Lee, George Lynch, Reb Beach, Vito Bratta....they are all so "underrated".
meh. he was ok, but played very lightly, he seemed more like an EVH clone to me. Brad Gillis did a better job before him, it's too bad he never played on a studio album of Ozzy
Bob Daisley is the the coolest one of all.He wrote most of the lyrics and his original bass lines were a huge part on the beginning several solo Ozzy albums .Lee Kerslake's original drum parts on the first two albums are among the coolest of all time.The way Bob just stays back and plays...
You're right. Daisley and Kerslake wrote alot of the music besides the guitars on Ozzy's first 2 albums, and Bark at the Moon too, I believe. I saw them in Birmingham, Ala. A couple weeks before Rhoades death. That's the worst thing in rock that rattled me up. He was such a great guitarist. Well, Randy and John Bonham's death too. I love Led Zeppelin.
Jake is one of my all time favorites and this concerts proves he's one of the best. You have to remember back in 1983 there wasn't many guitar tabs available and he probably had to learn all of Randys songs by ear.
@@jeffschwartz8900 Ozzy finished the Diary tour with Bernie Torme for six shows and Brad Gillis for the rest. I believe this is Jake's first gig with him though. First gig - 400 000 people in the audience - no pressure lol!
Jake is really cool and great sense of music, and when you see VH Eddie is I think a player that you could not surpass...he is so original, fast, and energetic in his own way....2 great guitarist, but Eddie is Eddie 💯
I remember being about 100 feet dead center for Mr Crowley!!! It was hotter than hell. An Epic day for the history of Metal. 35 years later. It looks and sounds better!!
Jeff Clean 18 yep, you were there. I hung out by the beer gardens. Best three days of music in my life. It was so fucking hot. There was no grass in those days, so the water canons turned the ground into mud. I didn’t care. I was 21
Worst planned event ever. I was probably 50'' behind you. Just out of reach of the water cannons from the towers, and the stage. It was miserably hot. People kept crowding and wouldn't step back 3'. Fucking morons. Best time ever. I was 19.
It was freeking hot. I was by the water cannons thank god. Best 3 days ever. Even tho van halen sucked. Just best memories with friends that are no longer here. I still have my concert shirt. My son thinks I'm nuts when I wear it. Unfotunate he won't have times like this.
So fucking cool you all got to be there. I was 13 when the US festival was happening. My bro who since has passed on wanted me to go but.......mum said fuck no. Hahaha. Bro loved Ozzy. Had Ozzy tatted on his knuckles.
Yes he was special-like a cross between R Rhoads, EVH and Warren Dimartini from RATT. His rhythm guitar is too buried in the mix here fighting the keys. It does not work. Love Don but no. Jake is an amazing Rhythm player as well.
Jake Lee is/was awesome! Best concert opening ever 1983 intro to diary of madman then into over the mountain with the smoke & silk screen & random colored spot lights then screen falls away rapidly plus some killer ganja. It was freaking awesome. Ozzy looked like **** but RR had just passed away so give him some grace.
What's crazy is Jake got thrown into a position already established and took those reins and ran with it in front of a sea of screaming fans and helped launch Ozzy up and above with two very popular even to this day albums.
Even when I did not know Jake through his music. Just watching bark at the moon tour footages I knew I was looking at a very accomplished and special player. Those days Jake’s attack was ferocious. And then I discovered Badlands and it was everything I always wanted to hear. Blew my fucking mind with Ray gillen just cutting loose with his God like vocals. Then when I came back and heard ozzy it was like I was watching an amateur singer trying to sing. Ray Gillen perhaps was the the best blues based rock vocalist. It was just not the vocals the way he sang them in a bluesy was. The song “the river” oh man I shake my head sometimes how can someone be so good. Badlands was the next Zeppelin which never did make it not because of Grunge but because Ray was a reckless addict. But then again so was the 80s. May be that was his curse and his gift. But I am thankful that I heard such a great band in my time. Greg chaisson was a badass too.
I was in the way back with friends that came to hear the sounds 83 rocks...had to stay over night, because we lost the car where did we parked. Found it in The morning... should have another us festival
@@MoveitorLoseit2 Not named as a festival, but afaik the Ozzy Osbourne Rock 'N' Roll Party in Baton Rouge State Fairgrounds was an open air show with 4 bands on the bill. Of course the scale was nothing like this later US Festival would be. All the other shows before the US Festival seemed to be indoor arenas and halls, first in Europe, then in the USA.
Totally awesome!!!!! Ozzy rocked the place that night! He was just growing his hair back after shaving his head a year earlier! Hahaha..There was a ton of awesome bands at this killer fest, Motley Crue and Judas Priest as well. But Ozzy was incredible. Jake was still relatively new. They had just entered the studio yet, but were working on "Bark At The Moon" album.
Jake is a close second behind Rhodes. And he puts on a show. His band Badlands was great to. It's hard to do someone else's solos. Jake did it his way. But his own stuff on the two albums he did with ozzy was great.
US Festival can't have been Jake's debut. Pete Way of UFO replaced Rudy Sarzo, and when Pete left (or was fired by Sharon), some unknown named Don Costa played some shows w. the band. Pete Way was the bassist for Jake's debut show. Here we have Bob Daisley whom in the end eneded up returning and replacing Don Costa.
Poor Jake, he was a very competent player but no matter how good he was the shoes he had to fill were just to big. Jake paved the way for Zakk with The Ultimate Sin, easily one of the best albums.
they were not to big they were just a different pair, brad gillis was in a different pair as well and did just great. jake and brad blow zakk pinch only harmonics playing away.
@@sarasarah1810 Zan had a few good albums in him too, but he fired all his guitar solos and after a while his gun was empty. If you watch the concert in Moscow when Zakinthos was brandy new he couldn’t play Randy’s solos all the way through. Problem with Zakk is his ego doesn’t fit in the room.
@@sarasarah1810 While Brad was a very competent player he never really jelled with Ozzy. Musically Jake was a great fit. Zakk had a few good albums in him. But Jake had it the worst. I was in HS when Bark At The Moon came out and the mean racist shit people would say about Jake was un called for.
Just found out this wasn’t Jake E. Lee’s first Ozzy gig. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XqnZxwpTls8.html at around 33 minutes 45 seconds.
I have seen all the big name metal bands. One stands out in concert. Judas Priest has something nobody else has the metal god. Rob Halford is so powerful it adds to the live performance. Heavy metal day was the only reason I tuned in. Ozzy and Jake were great together onstage. Look at where music is now compared to the 80’s. It’s sad!
Please tell me Jake was heard over the keyboard player. This audio feed has him below and there is too much with the cheese keys. Get in the back! Jake is killing it, putting on a clinic. All hail large apple man for getting this together.
The reel at the beginning is pure gold. Notice all the Vectrex machines. I think in 1983 they visioned the future as being heavily immersed in electronic machines and space shuttles.
Two top notch guitar players of that era, Jake's debut concert and he's killing it making a name for himself and putting his signature style of playing on the map and soon after this show, will have tons of fans and guitar players wanting to learn all his licks. Then you have King Edward, who at this point is on top of his game and has turned the whole Hard Rock/Heavy Metal.Scene upside down with his guitar playing fretboard gymnastics and catchy good old fashioned rock tunes with a twist. This man changed the way the whole world plays modern electric guitar and still owns the throne to this day despite his passing. KING Edward you are missed but never forgotten, thank you for all that you contributed and the many many years of influence and inspiration. We love you guys both.
That wasn't Jakes debut. I saw him in February 1983 3 months before this in Ft. Myers Florida with Don Costa on bass who Ozzy fired just before the US festival show. I believe the show I saw was Jakes 2nd Ozzy show. Finishing the Diary tour dates. Vandenburg opened.
Randy was great, but listen to Jake E Lee two solo albums which he recorded alone mostly. And nobody same time singing, playing rythm and soloing in heaviest and tight style as the one and only as Master John Sykes!! Nobody❤❤❤
We barely got to the festival in time on May 29th to see Quiet Quiet (1st act on Heavy Metal Day) take the stage because we parked in the over-flow parking lot many miles from the festival and had to walk to it because the buses that were supposed to pick us up got stuck in traffic so we never had a chance to peruse any of the displays.
Just found out this wasn’t Jake E. Lee’s first Ozzy gig. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XqnZxwpTls8.html at around 33 minutes 45 seconds.
Ozzy is like a great guitarist magnet. Iommi,rhodes,lee,Wilde all great guitarists. But randy was one of the truly greats.he's definately one of the great guitar gods.
