Black Sabbath 8/4/2013

If this was the last time I had the privilege of seeing Black Sabbath live, they left me with a night of performances I will never forget.

To me, the show was a 10 out of 10. Putting aside a opening act that got little attention paid to it (Sorry Andrew W.K. - no one gave a flying fuck). The band was tight, Ozzy had his voice, and the crowd was into it.

The highlights of the show for me were songs I have never witnessed live. For starters I had hoped, like hell, they would do Under the Sun. Sure enough, it followed Into the Void. Then of course the new cuts from the new album. End of the Beginning, Age of Reason, God is Dead, & Methademic. People can say what they will about the new stuff but it is only suppose to sound like one thing, and that is Black Sabbath.

Other high points for me were the already mentioned Into the Void, the opening number War Pigs is always fucking fantastic live, one hell of a bad ass drum solo, Christ I loved the whole show. Every. Fucking. Minute. Of. It.

The night was more special because I could share it with a life long friend. I'm glad you came, you old bastard. I knew you would enjoy it.

And of course nothing beats being able to bang your head, jump around and scream like doing it with your wife. I love you Sissypants!

I hope to see you again Black Sabbath. If I do not, this show will always be a special one!

Later.
