Hi Relayer,
To me, ‘Storm Warning’ (Langley Deluxe 002) and ‘Definitive Tribute’ (Zodiac 294) sound the same, ie excellent. If DT is an upgrade, I can’t hear it. Disc running times are identical to the second. I’d view it as a repackaged re-release of a title any Ozzy fan needs in the collection. I can’t even decide which artwork I prefer!
Thanks for the info on the Definitive Tribute, I will stick to Storm Warning. I agree, to have the original recordings of these two essential era Ozzy Randy concerts.
Aleebee, you are correct , it does share the same content as Storm Warning, I would be interested in what you think if it is an upgrade. Zodiac has previously released this material as Definition of Blizzrd Zodiac 005 that had some bonus RR era quiet Riot material. Of course the Cleveland portion was used as a go bastion for the Tribute record, the Montreal material has been officially released as the second disc of the deluuxe reissue of Diary Of A Madman. I have always preferred the boots over the official releases mainly because I hate the “enhanced” audience.
The Ozzy title is the same as ‘Storm Warning’ (Langley Deluxe 002), that was released in 2007 or so. I think it may be an upgrade, but the Japanese-to-English translation was somewhat difficult to follow. However, I shall order on the offchance.
