Ozzy Osbourne returned to Japan for the first time in about eight years, touring in support of his new album *Scream*—the first to feature new guitarist Gus G. as a full-fledged member! This release features the complete headlining performances from the Loud Park festival—held in Kobe on October 16, 2010, and in Saitama on October 17, 2010—presented in the high-impact, immersive, and ultra-high-quality sound that is the hallmark of the Sylph label!
As an added bonus, it includes a "good" quality audience-shot DVD of the Kobe performance, featuring excellent, zoomed-in camera work. While not a complete recording, this rare footage from the Japan tour is sure to be a treasured find for any fan!
The setlist is spectacular, packed with classic hits and plenty of Black Sabbath tracks. Ozzy’s vocals are in surprisingly great form, and Gus G.’s guitar work is truly compelling! Ozzy is in full, wild-and-crazy mode—dousing the crowd with a bucket of water during "Crazy Train" and even flashing his backside when returning for the encore! The performance of "Mama, I’m Coming Home" is particularly moving, with the entire venue joining in for a massive singalong—it’s enough to bring a tear to your eye!
The setlists for the two shows differ slightly, and the sheer scale and thunderous roar of the crowd—typical of an arena show—are absolutely electrifying! The Kobe recording, in particular, is remarkably free of any distracting, nearby shouting or clapping, allowing you to stay fully immersed in the high-energy atmosphere from start to finish. In short, this is an incredible performance that captures Ozzy at his absolute best—an essential listen for any fan! This commemorative release from the Sylph label, complete with a DVD that brings those unforgettable moments vividly back to life, is finally here!
