For all the fans saying how “cold” the end of the Black Sabbath show was with the band walking off stage and leaving Ozzy by himself. Note that you probably feel like that because of a really poor edit on the “live”stream. I saw a fan filmed clip that showed Tony and Geezer coming up to Ozzy at the end and shake his hand, they then walked off stage and Geezer returned with a cake for him. They were giving Ozzy that final moment to take in the crowd one last time. Such a shame that the “live”stream butchered this, but that’s how it really went down. You can see some of it in the video I’ve attached in the comments.

Just got done watching the Back to the Beginning show for Ozzy and Black Sabbath. There are a few things that stuck out to me. Lizzy Hale killed the Perry Mason cover. Lamb of God was out of tune. It was good to see Jake E Lee, even though David Draiman rushed the vocals into Shot in the Dark. Nuno Bettencourt is a freaking guitar god and was the MVP of the night. Pantera surprised me with two Sabbath covers and they sounded great. Slayer probably shouldn’t have retired, they kicked ass. Metallica is the richest metal band in the world but they must not pay their guitar techs enough to keep their guitars tuned. Axl Rose was terrible, his vocals on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath sounded like someone doing karaoke that never heard the song before. Gojira is super tight and awesome
