Randy Rhoads' Spotlight Solo Evolution (1979-1982)

This video showcases how Randy changed his spotlight solo as he grew musically. Starting with Quiet Riot's Laughing Gas. Randy would play anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes unaccompanied, depending on the night! In 1980, after joining Ozzy, his solo for Suicide Solution was changed and condensed. In 1981, this would be the most familiar, as he does one like it on tribute. In 1982, the "Man on the Flying Trapeze" band jam was named and created by the Ozzy band for the Diary of a Manman tour
