it's true.
The year was 1980 or '81
Location: Art Stock's Playpen North, Rochester NY.
The band playing at the club was called "Rubaiyat" and they were from PA.
They did a Pink Floyd tribute and I played sax on "Money".
Rudy Sarzo and Randy stopped in after Ozzy's gig at the War Memorial downtown. Randy was invited onstage by Rubaiyat's guitarist "Nat" and proceeded to do his thing. I wasn't a big Ozzy fan at the time and Randy didn't impress me. (Unfortunately for Randy he broke Nat's strings on a Strat that didn't have a locking vibrato so the Fender went horribly out of tune.)
Little known fact:
There aren't many pictures of Ozzy and Randy performing together. To the best of my knowledge, Brother Wease had the only one... and it was taken in Rochester. It's the photo where Ozzy is holding Randy up while playing his Jackson.
I believe this to be the one. I would love confirmation from a reliable source!
