[SIZE=2]From the opening familiar siren intro to War Pigs to the final chord of Paranoid, I will never forget this concert! I cannot believe I have seen this seminal hard rock metal band in the flesh! I must admit to a few soppy tears during this performance! That happens when an old guy sees his idols LIVE! Such a surreal feeling!
Tony Iommi's guitar playing is phenomenal! Geezer holds the band together with his pounding bass and does a solo during the concert! Tommy Culfetos stunned the crowd with a display of tremendous drumming in a ten minute solo. Ozzy commands the audience to a frenzy. He is quite the showman! His vocals are not what they used to be but he's still got it! He's not singing opera here!...lol
The first track from their first album, Black Sabbath, tore the house down along with War Pigs, Iron Man, God is Dead?,(rhetorical question by the way),
and the encore addition of the infamous blistering Paranoid.
Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Tommy Culfetos (replaced Bill Ward) on tour, we're at the top of their game! Getting back to God is Dead ?, the song is from their latest studio album 13. They did two other songs from the album...the album is excellent!
All in all a great performance. I am sure the 10,000 fans went home very pleased indeed! I know I did! My ears are numb today but hey it was worth it!
Check out the drum solo and a few clips from last night! The videos are amateuristic but it gives you a sense of the concert vibe!
