Info:
The set list is fantastic, of course. Note that, opposed to the audio release of Sabbath covers with the same name (which Ozzy dismisses outright), this film captures a full performance of the Diary of a Madman tour, showcasing gems from the first two classic albums along with versions of Sabbath’s “Iron Man,” “Children of the Grave,” and “Paranoid.” The Ozzman himself was energetic and engaging, and it’s great seeing him perform those songs during that early era. The real problem here is that his vocals are painfully overdubbed. It’s so noticeable that it detracts from the experience. The rest of the band is tight and proficient, even if Airey’s accompaniment occasionally becomes slightly obtrusive on songs normally keyboard-free. They’ve done their best to clean up the quality of the recording, but it is definitely a product of the technology of that era. Also, there are no bonus features of any kind. Mostly off-setting this list of negatives is the fact that Speak of the Devil is dirt cheap. (You should be able to find it for about twelve bucks.) It's clearly not required viewing, but Speak of the Devil documents a legend in the midst of major transition, and is good nostalgic fun.
