Black Sabbath - Live...Gathered in Their Masses

Let me get this out of the way right now! There may be no replacement for Bill Ward but Tommy Clufetos does one hell of a job showing you why he is up to the task and why maybe he should have also manned the kit for 13 (even though Brad Wilk did an awesome job!). The band is on this night and although the setlist is a touch different from when I saw them and the cd doesn't have the complete show, this is a great document of the original heavy metal band coming back to reclaim their crown! Ozzy puts on a clinic even though he is 60 something moving around with more energy then I've seen front men half or a 3rd of his age singing his lungs out with the crowd. Tony Iommi (THE IRON MAN!) just looks so cool standing there busting out classic riff after classic riff and Geezer Butler is just one of the best bassists in rock ever! So not every classic is here but, with a classic band like Sabbath it is hard to pick the perfect setlist and keep everyone happy while including new songs. In other words, if you love Sabbath as much as I do, get this package! If you saw them on their past tour, get it! It's a great document of one of the all time greatest bands with 3 quarters of their original lineup tearing it up Down Under. Oh! Check out who makes a little guest appearance at the beginning of the dvd...Joe Perry and Steven Tyler you say? Yea! Who doesn't love them a little Sabbath?
