I’ve been watching random clips off and on all day.

I love those guys!

I think it truly is The End this time.

Tony and Geezer still killing it. Easier to do than singing or playing drums for 60 years.
But they all still sound good.
Geezer looks very healthy.

Can Ozzy no longer stand?

You beat me to it! From what I know, all funds raised from the concert are going to Parkinson's research.

I have a lot to say...
1. I watched the entire Black Sabbath set on my big screen TV tonight. It was beautiful!
2. Geezer and Tony tuned to D Standard, which is how I tune.
3. I can't understate how much of an influence Black Sabbath is on my own music. Geezer is one of my bass heroes and Tony is a big influence on my guitar playing.
4. Ozzy killed it! His throne was VERY METAL and fitting for the event.
5. It was nice to see Bill Ward back on drums, but he aged!
6. I love how the crowd was so into the performance! That just goes to show you how important, influential, and historical Black Sabbath are. They are lucky individuals to have been in Birmingham to witness metal history!
7. My favorite songs from their set were "Bassically / NIB" - Geezer playing "Bassically" was BREATHTAKING! I play that in music stores to test out basses and to warm up. And "NIB" is one of my all time favorite Black Sabbath songs and they killed it!
8. They ended their career with the song that really made them famous: "Paranoid". This is also the first Black Sabbath song that I've ever heard when I was 13. So this is really a "back to the beginning" for me as a fan.
9. I wish it was longer.

I don’t see how anyone could watch their set and not feel inspired. It wasn’t dead perfect, but they were pretty great, and there’s only one Black Sabbath, despite there being several Black Sabbaths.

I knew his brother back in the early 80's - Tony - a great lad who used to live in our town Walsall that was not a million miles from Brum. Ozzy had moved to the states by then. Tony had a little 4 track tape machine and a drum machine at his house that our band used to go and record on. Never wanted any money, he just loved the crack with us. His wife was lovely too, an American lass and always kept us well fed on cheese on toast and cups of tea.
Me and my wife tried to get tickets to Villa Park but as soon as the lines were open they were all sold out. Shame, she was a huge fan of that local band. I hate touts and their armies.

Poor Ozzy. That's a horrible thing to happen to someone (I have two older friends affected).

It's a cruel degenerative thing to have. My dad has it and it can come on fast too.

I was a big Beatles/British invasion fan in my adolescence; when going to my Grandma's Funeral heard 'Iron Man' on Car AM radio and was frightened and thrilled at same time Was a Big Fan ever since

Black Sabbath was my first live Concert at Long Island Arena in Commack, NY at 16
remember Band being slowly lit from the dark and shirtless Ozzie yelling " Are you High" then Band breaking into 'Sweet Leaf"

I was introduced to both Ozzy and Sabbath back in 1982 when I was 12, by an older brother. We only had one Sabbath album, Master of Reality, and our “stereo” was one of those old fake wood console jobs which had the left speaker blown out, but man we listened to that album a *lot*. I started playing bass around the same time and always found it frustrating that I couldn’t hear the bass parts on the small 6” sole working speaker. But that album and Blizzard of Ozz were pretty core to my music education and my kids also grew up listening to them.

I also maintain that the so-called Prince of Darkness has taught far more people about genuine love, peace, and acceptance than any preacher.

Great show. Nice to see Jake E Lee turn up. Let's get all these guys to head to Sydney and have a concert just for Bob Daisley next.

I was browsing snippets of the performances all day yesterday and I gotta say that entire concert looked like a huge success from what I've been watching. I really had my doubts that they could pull this off the way they wanted to but I think they did a great job and it really was fitting for their final bow. I was extremely happy specifically that Bill Ward got his wish and moment being included in this. It sort of makes up for the way things unraveled back when Black Sabbath did their "The End Tour" in 2016-17 which he was not a part of but should have been. There are certain aspects of this event that I do I have issues with but it's not worth pointing out the bad in their time of respect and honor in calling it a career. Long live Black Sabbath's music to inspire the generations of musicians to come...

The way Geezer created basslines that drove the music but managed to bounce around and be lively was such a big influence on me when I was first starting to play as an 11 year old kid in the mid 80s. I'm so happy those guys get to go out on their terms as old men when the odds of that given their lifestyle was not in their favor

It was awesome to see the original lineup reform for this. And the support from so many A-list metal musicians was inspiring. End of an era. I hope Ozzy has a long retirement, Parkinsons is quite treatable these days.
