BLACK SABBATH, THE END TOUR

This past thursday, my girlfriend and I went to go see Black Sabbath in concert at the Forum in Inglewood, Ca. Opening band was a local band called Rival Sons. I thought they were a cross between Led Zeppelin, due to the singers voice, and a rock vibe of the Black Crows. No doubts about it, they had a classic 70's rock sound to them. Black Sabbath then came on and played for just over an hour and a half. They were tight and really into it. The only original member that was not there, was the drummer. (According to what i've read on the internet, he couldnt come to contract terms with the group). The main things I took away from this concert were realizations- 1st- Black Sabbath has been around for years ! And I saw the many generations of their fan base throughout the arena. 2nd- Black Sabbath still kicks @$$ on stage! They sounded terrific ! 3rd- You can tell that Ozzy is still loving what he's doing on stage, but his body is showing otherwise. I would compare it to an athlete who's at the tail end of his career but his love for the game won't let him retire. 4th- After the recent deaths of Lemmy Kilmister, David Bowie and Glenn Frey- I started to wonder if I had just seen my idols for the last time. **Photo was taken by me, Plethos, after Black Sabbath said thier goodbyes and walked off the stage**

How cool to be able to go to one of the concerts. I'm sure it was one that you won't soon forget.

Sounds enjoyable, expensive and loud! So many ageing rockstars still strutting their stuff ...

Hey! I wondered why I hadn't seen you in a while... Now I know. I hope you are all right, Plethos! Take care of yourself!

I think I had one Black Sabbath album in my youth. It's kind of weird seeing our favorite rockers get grey or move on. I can't believe how long Jerry Garcia's been gone.

@Plethos Man, I missed it. I live in Lawndale, only 5 miles away from the Forum. I used to be a head banger, but I've calmed down a bit :)

I'm glad you got to see them, and I hope it's not for the last time. Random, but my older brother likes Black Sabbath.
