Black Sabbath - Bloody brilliant.....
Discussion
Glad to hear this.
So looking forward to Manchester next week. Just got back from the Christmas markets in Manchester, so had a close study of all the food and beer on offer. So now just need to convince my brother that he needs to go and visit his daughter and maybe take her to the pictures or something while I go to the concert. That way I don't need to drive, so I can have beer as well as pig out on the hog roast and Bratwurst and Dutch pancakes. And maybe take in a concert.

Ozzy's voice struggled at times, but I've seen him a lot worse. However, I can overlook that because a) it's Ozzy and b) it didn't matter anyway because it was eclipsed by a total masterclass from Tony & Geezer. Despite age & fairly recent health problems they were in great form and looked like they were really enjoying themselves while ripping through the setlist seemingly effortlessly. Seeing them in action just underlines why they're still on top of the pile, and still the Guvnors. Simply awesome.
Tommy Clufetos proved a worthy Bill Ward stand-in (as he did at Download), and though it would have been nice to see Bill on the drum stool, the fact that he wasn't there didn't detract from the show. Maybe the drum solo was a little too long, but the crowd reaction showed that he had won them over.
The last 3 times I've seen Sabbath (1997, 2005 & 2012) I've gone along wondering whether this would be the last chance to see them. Based on last nights show, as long as Ozzy's voice just about holds up, I may yet get to see them again.

Taken in isolation it's very good, but I don't think it's quite up to the standard of the early albums (though they would be hard for anyone to surpass). They'll probably do 3 or 4 songs off the new album, though not necessarily the ones I'd have chosen. Don't worry though, it'll still be amazing.

Thanks for the email by the way Paul, sorry I didn't reply I have'nt been using that account only just seen it, sadly even if I had the time, I wouldn't of had the money now 
I feel unhappy, I feel so sad...
