Tribute is a live album by Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads. Released on May 23, 1987, it was reissued on August 22, 1995 and again remastered and reissued in 2002.
The album was released in memory of Rhoads, who died in a plane crash on March 19, 1982. Rhoads was the guitarist for Osbourne's band between 1980 and 1982.
Recorded live in Cleveland, Ohio on May 11, 1981 and Montreal, Canada on July 28, 1981, the album showcases Rhoads' amazing guitar work onstage. Particularly notable is the song Suicide Solution, which features an unaccompanied guitar solo by Rhoads. The album also includes outtakes from the classical-influenced acoustic guitar piece, Dee, a song Rhoads wrote for his mother Delores, and which was originally included on Osbourne's debut solo album Blizzard of Ozz.
