Thats probably true, but to be fair, Glenn (our bass player) is one of the best session players in the south side of Chicago.

I've seen bit's and pieces of this concert, but never watched the entire thing, until last night. My God. How have I not seen this until now? Even with Tony being just slightly out of tune in some places, and a few missed notes, and even though Ozzy didn't have the lyrics quite nailed down for some of the songs from Paranoid, this is some of the best music ever played live. Period. No frills, no gimmicks, no BS. Ozzy even uses 2 microphones, which run his vocals to two different amps for an early stereo widening effect. This is where it all began. A slice of Metal history right before your eyes.

I watch this once every few months and it really does never cease to blow my mind.

First full rock song I mastered on the guitar with my very first band was Into the Void.

Memories.

In short order: 'Into The Void' is QUINTESSENTIAL BLACK SABBATH! Their best song EVER!

Black Sabbath EASILY have the greatest back-to-back incarnation of ANY recording artists ( the original lineup AND the Dio era ONLY ) in the HISTORY of popular music! I love BOTH lineups EQUALLY!

NEW YORK -- After five decades, Black Sabbath will launch a farewell tour next year.

The heavy metal band starring Ozzy Osbourne announced dates for its The End tour, which kicks off Jan. 20, 2016, in Omaha, Nebraska.

Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler will visit 17 North American cities before heading to Australia and New Zealand for seven shows. More concerts will be announced next month.

Original drummer Bill Ward, who had a falling out with Osbourne, is not part of the tour.

The Grammy-winning group released its self-titled debut album in 1970. They are pioneers of heavy metal music.

Black Sabbath said in a statement: "When this tour concludes, it will truly be THE END, THE END of one of the most legendary bands in Rock 'n Roll history."

I'm sure Sharon is already dreaming-up their next farewell tour a few years after this

i think its fair enough, Ozzy and the guys are pretty old and have done loads of great music. Probably just want to chill for the remainder of their lives. totally understandable. Probably sound whack these days anyways
