This week in 1986, Ozzy Osbourne embarked on The Ultimate Sin tour with Metallica in tow as the opening act. Metallica had just released Master of Puppets on March 3rd, and given the obvious quality of the album, they were eager to perform it for as many people as possible. After playing with Ozzy for six months, Metallica began a headlining tour in September, but it was cut short due to the tragic death of Cliff Burton on 9/27/86 (the tour resumed in November after Jason Newsted joined the band). Ozzy's tour, on the other hand, ended with a homeless benefit at The Hollywood Palladium on February 23, 1987, which proved to be the final performance for Jake E. Lee and Phil Soussan.
