The first known footage comes on April 24th, 1981. The Blizzard had blown into the Capitol Theatre of New Jersey. The venue's owner, John Scher, confirmed in a book on Randy Rhoads that every show there from 1973-1984 was shot by their in-house crew. Using at least three cameras, filming in black and white. Jodi Raskin-Vigier, Randy Rhoads' fiancée, has said that Randy knew they were being filmed. So, he wore the new vest that she had made him.
We can say confidently that this filming did happen. The bad news is the master tapes are quite possibly lost in time. John Scher couldn't remember if he gave the tapes to the Osbourne's or tucked them away somewhere. He spoke of this footage at the same time he was preparing his film stocks for sale. Which apparently never happened.
Over the years, there have been films of bands such as The Police that have landed among collectors. As far as Ozzy's film is concerned, it's unknown at this time. You would think that if the Osbourne's had a copy, it would have been included on the Thirty Years After The Blizzard DVD.
