Ozzy Osbourne - Live at Budokan
The double O playing to a Japanese audience half of whom appeared to be in shirt and tie as though they'd just left the office. An enjoyable set list featuring a few from then current album Down to Earth although in truth they are the weakest songs performed.
Still nothing from a middling Ozzy album is going to come close to the likes of Mr. Crowley, Suicide Solution, No More Tears, Crazy Train, Bark at the Moon and Paranoid when it comes to crowd excitement. The stage design is sparse to say the least but it lets you concentrate on what is arguably Ozzy's greatest touring line up - Drummer Mike Bordin, bassist Rob Trujillo and guitarist Zakk Wylde.
Genitorturers - Society of Genitorture
An interesting 35 minute club gig by industrial band Genitorturers featuring Morbid Angel's David Vincent on bass. Although being honest the music is merely a backing track to lead singer Gen's experimental BDSM stage show which is definitely not safe for work nor is it for the squeamish.
