Both Black Sabbath band and Ozzy Osbourne solo tours had amazing live concert quality. The effects, sound, and venue were tops.
Black Sabbath made many great songs before Ozzy Osbourne was fired in 1979 for his drinking problem and Randy Rhoads died in 1982. Some of the popular songs that Ozzy still plays in concert were written while he was originally with Black Sabbath. Both Ozzy and Black Sabbath took different artistic courses after Osbourne left the group. Much of this was also because of the choice of new lead guitarist Randy Rhoads for Osbourne's new band. Some consider Randy Rhoads as one of the best guitarists of all time, but no doubt he made a major influence on the rock scene, and so did his death. Ozzy continued the hard driving success to this day - one of rock's super stars.
Ronnie James Dio was lead singer of Black Sabbath after Ozzy left. Tony Martin eventually replaced him.
Black Sabbath continued off and on without Ozzy Osbourne for a number of years, but old friends tend to reunite. Both the choice and the death of Randy Rhoads would put a seal on the separation and eventual reuniting of Black Sabbath, an amazing irony.
In the summer of 1997, Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Ozzy Osbourne reunited with Ozzy's solo band to begin the ongoing Ozzfest, held for most of the ten following years.

In many ways, "Mod Rules" album by Black Sabbath would explore rock largely without the direct influence of the departed Ozzy Osbourne. They almost seem deliberate in avoiding such influence in following years for songwriting.
Ozzy Osbourne, on the other hand, was deeply influenced by past Black Sabbath sounds and the desire to discover new sounds, which he blended with the help of Randy Rhoads.

The death of Rhoads in 1982 was symbolic of industry wide changes. Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, and Hard Rock entered into a new sound after this. The end of an era in style in the Rock World was forced upon all previous Black Sabbath members with the leaving of Osbourne from Black Sabbath and the death of Randy Rhoads. The passing of Randy Rhoads tore Ozzy from a hard course to discover more freedom in his musical journey. His songwriting of following years reveals this.
Artists and fans mourned and then refocused on Rock with a fresh revolution in the genre. Ozzy Osbourne was one of those who sensed the change and helped take rock to new sensations.
