I'm very anxious to see this at some point. I think it was 1979 ish or so. My mom let me pick a record from Columbia House and I picked We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll. They have been my favorite band ever since.

Final Sabbath

How great to see as big and influential band as Sabbath put aside the old squabbles and have a real, proper, swan song.
So many other groups I would have loved to see doing the same.
It was a little different watching Ozzy perform from a chair, instead of leaping around with his fringe shirt. But under the circumstances, they pulled it off heroically.
Long live Sabbath!

Iron Man was the first riff that I learned.
I have seen Ozzy 4 times (first time was on his no more tours tour 30+ years ago) & luckily one of those times was with the original Black Sabbath lineup. I was really close to the stage for Black Sabbath and it was absolutely amazing.
I hope the lads are feeling great about a job well done.

VPN is great. I once got a warning letter from my internet/cable company for downloading a movie off a torrent site. Immediately got a VPN because they don't respect your privacy. They use VPN's for their computers, but two can play that game, chum.Use a VPN and change to a few diffrent countries. you'll get it
Geezer is still one of my biggest influences! He wrote the playbook for heavy metal bass guitar after all.
Me too. I call it the "easy reader" like your first reading book, Jack and Jill.
The concert had Excellent sound, and I love the drum set with a low tom in front.
That livestream made for a great Black Sabbath weekend!
It was good to see so many bands playing Sabbath tunes, sometimes stumbling because they are not as easy as you'd think. But everybody was having a great time.
And Tool played a few of their hits, which they completely skipped last tour.

Just saw the Tool performance. Killer job with Hand of Doom.
The crowd singing really loud with Alice in Chains on...Man in the Box and Would.
Clearly a lot of AIC fans there.

Okay, I just watched that. I don't care that he sang out of tune, that was epic to see the four of them together one last time.
Having seen Ozzy live before I can tell it kills him that he can't get out of that chair and run around the stage, you can see the frustration in his face. He totally feeds on live performances and now that's all but taken from him.
Bill's definitely been through the wringer but he pulled through alright, and Tony and Geezer still look pretty good actually. Geezer actually rocks that beard pretty well, looks good on him, and his bass playing is as awesome as ever.
I'll wrap this up now, I have to finish cutting these onions over here...
The crowd singing along with Ozzy gave me a few onion moments I have to say. I thought Tony Iommi looked and played incredible for 77 years.
This is cool 
Incidentally, the bass Geezer used on Paranoid was the same bass he used on the last show of The End tour. He posted a pic on Facebook of the original P he used to play Paranoid the first time, and a pic of that Lakland bass next to it.

I love the Sabbath purple tolex on his cabs!
That P bass looks different than this one, which appears to be natural finish.
I watched the whole thing! To me it was absolutely amazing, and I loved every minute of it!!!

That’s absolutely incredible! The beginning and back to the beginning!
I suppose he had two then. That one got smashed on a flight.I love the Sabbath purple tolex on his cabs!

I’m not gonna argue with Geezer about what bass he played when.That P bass looks different than this one, which appears to be natural finish.
Perhaps he had access to more than one bass. That would certainly not be unusual or even remarkable.
Perhaps the first time Paranoid was played was not on the Paranoid album.
He knows better than anyone else, I’d think.
