Tonight’s WBLM Mini-Concert

35 years ago today, Ozzy Osbourne rocked the Civic Center with the late, great Randy Rhoads. Sadly, he was gone less than a year later in that tragic plane crash. It's pretty cool that Portland had a chance to see Ozzy and Randy together on August 5, 1981. Holy sh*t, I was just about to start my freshman year in high school. This was the legendary Blizzard of Oz tour and Def Leppard was the opener! We’ll remember this historic evening in Blimpville and kick-off the weekend tonight at 6:20 with another WBLM Mini-Concert.

Here’s some great footage of Ozzy with Randy Rhoads performing Mr. Crowley live on a late-night TV show in 1981. Love the sinister synth intro from keyboardist, Don Airey!
