Yes...I hated to change my vote but as I age I find myself leaning more and more toward those tunes that accentuate the blues.
Tough choice, but this one topped my list! Randy Rhoads, what a phenomenal guitarist and composer! We lost him way too early. Ozzy's reaction at the end is priceless! You can tell, he's like, "Holy crap! I've got one hell of a good band here!" :)

May I direct you to a cover of Mr. Crowley by Rob Halford (Judas Priest) Yngwie Johann Malmsteen and Ronnie James Dio?
No video of live work by great to listen to.
