"Centre of Eternity" is from Bark at the Moon, credited entirely to Ozzy, though Jake E. Lee says he wrote most of the music, with help from bassist Bob Daisley.

Jake says he was told to sign away his credits or be sent home and have his parts re-recorded by someone else.

Here he is playing it in Dortmund, Germany, in December 1983, with Carmine Appice on drums.

Jake E. Lee – "Bark at the Moon" (Live, '83)

Lee says he wrote the riff but signed away the songwriting credit under threat of being fired.

Watch him here, center stage, all speed and attack, the guy who had to follow Randy Rhoads and made it his own.

Following Randy Rhoads might have been the hardest job in rock. Bernie Tormé and Brad Gillis had already tried.

Then 26-year-old Jake E. Lee walked onstage at the 1983 US Festival, before he'd recorded a note with Ozzy, and tore through Randy's "Over the Mountain" in front of a crowd reported at about 375,000.

Jake E. Lee's very first show with Ozzy was at the US Festival in 1983, in front of 350,000 people.

He'd had to learn Randy Rhoads' parts, including "Crazy Train," to take a gig that had belonged to a legend. Here he is playing it.
