Tribute
Tribute is a live album by Ozzy Osbourne, put together in honour of guitarist Randy Rhoads, who played alongside him on these recordings. It came out on 16 April 1987, five years after Rhoads died, and it climbed to number 6 on the US Billboard 200.
It sits between The Ultimate Sin and No Rest for the Wicked in Osbourne's catalogue, and it works as a document of the early solo years that began with Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. If you want to hear Rhoads on stage rather than in the studio, this is the place to start. The album was reissued on 22 August 1995 and was remastered and reissued again in 2002, which says something about how much the record continued to matter to listeners.
