What a great show! Iommie sounded amazing!! Bitter sweet to see Iommi play knowing that this is truly probably the final farewell (ozzy's faked so many times) due to Iommie having stage4 lymphoma and is now on maintenance program. The band sounded amazing!! Ozzy's voice held out, he was in good spirits, cracking a few jokes and, man, do i love (and chuckle) how he shuffles about and claps. So classic. Geezer blew me away. He is such a powerful player and just looked so badass and rocking. He ruled it! Rob Zombie drummer Tommy Clufetos definitely captured the Sabbath vibe with some serious heavy sticks! Yet added his own style to it. While others loved or hated his crazy ass long 10 minute drum solo (& light show), I was too busy being stoked for the guy to care. Imagine that dream come true? Playing drums with Sabbath!!!! Insane. And while we of course miss Bill Ward, Clufetos and Butler's rhythm section was solid, making a perfect bed for Iommie.
