[Heeplist] Black Sabbath Show

[ray clark]

To quote Bernie Shaw "You hit the nail right on the head"  It can be quite excruciating seeing performers who should have given it up long ago. I guess they need some money.

Let me start by saying that I feel about Black Sabbath the way most of you feel about Heep.  However based on videos I've seen of the first couple of shows, and people's reactions I hate to say it but Sabbath are done.  It's not the same without Bill - they can't say it's a "reunion" if he's not involved.  I don't even know who's playing drums and honestly couldn't care less.  Ozzy has become a parody of himself  -- its almost like people are coming to shows just to see if he makes it to the end.  Tony's and Geezer's playing  - while still almost flawless - is wasted backing that clown. don't get me wrong - I love Ozzy so much - but it's like he's Sharon's puppet - as long as he's got breath in his lungs she's going to shove him up onstage for a quick money grab.

Just my two cents.

I love Sabbath but if this would have been just an Ozzy show no way I would have gone. Musicianship was good. ozzy was more saying/singing a lot of songs. Had a good time but that is it? for me with Sabbth live. I have a feeling this might be the last tour of these guys.



I wish uriah Hepp could have played with them, the opener was a DJ playing metal tumes and some hard rock.



Nice to hear the old songs/riffs live again, hell they even played Dirty Women from technical ecstasy. Lot of the paranoid album under the sun and snow blind from Had a good time over all



MADMAN



p.s. URIAH HEEP FOREVER
