HEAVY HISTORY
Â
From NIGHT RANGER guitarist Brad Gillis:
âYes, today and tomorrow (September 26th/27, 1982) will be the 42nd anniversary recording of the Speak Of The Devil live record at the Ritz in NYC consisting of all Black Sabbath material. The album was released one month later on Jet Records and certified Gold soon afterwards! The band consisted of Ozzy Osbourne, Rudy Sarzo on bass guitar, Tommy Aldridge on drums and me on guitar.â
