Black Sabbath at Sprint Center

[Lonewolf Ed]

What an incredible show! Ozzy exceeded my expectations, since the group had to postpone 4 shows earlier due to Ozzy coming down with sinusitis and bronchitis. I had seen video of the shows leading up to the time off and he looked bad, sounded bad, and had little energy. That was not the case tonight. Ozzy was running from one side of the stage to the other, engaging the crowd and jumping up and down. His voice was clear and strong, with a few rough patches, but nothing cringe-worthy. His voice overall was good. Even when he spoke, it was clear and not his usual stammering. The man was feeling well and strong, and it showed.

Geezer was digging those fingers into the bass strings with precision and power, and those deep bass tones rattled my entire skeleton. The drummer, Tommy Clufetos, was an absolute wrecking machine. His solo had my pant legs vibrating against my legs and my rib cage was buzzing. And what can you say about Tony Iommi? He was in the zone and spot on. The group was tight and energetic. They played Hand of Doom and all of the many timing and tempo changes were perfect; the band was all on the same page. What a joy that was to see and to share with my brothers, Chipp, Rod, and Jeff. We all had a great time and it was worth every penny.
