This was a super interesting find, as practically no metal tribute acts make it even close to a point where releasing a factory-pressed CD would be feasible. The only other example I can even think of is the Iron Maidens.
Didn't realize it when picking this up, but the singer is Joe Donnelly, who was later the vocalist of Iron Man around the time period of the I Have Returned album.
Recording is excellent for a self-financed live CD, the band is tight, guitar tone is great, and the Ozzy emulation is pretty decent. I was a little surprised at the setlist, since there are two Technical Ecstasy songs and the last track is "Selling My Soul," one of the then-brand new studio tracks from the Reunion live album. "Dirty Women" is kinda cool to hear but as for the others, I would personally rather heard "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," "Symptom of the Universe," or even "Sweet Leaf." I do appreciate that they're trying to incorporate some less known stuff in the set, but also a bit saddened that there's nothing from Sabotage on here, making it the only Ozzy album at the time of this recording (1998) that they didn't play anything from.
