Black Sabbath headlined the very first show I ever saw as a 15yr old kid.

My buddy Randy and I hitch hiked from Modesto CA to downtown San Francisco...Winterland auditorium. The bill was Wild Turkey (some members of Jethro Tull), Yes with Rick Wakeman and Black Sabbath.

$5.50 at the door in 1971.

It was a raucous event. One for the ages.

Damn, you saw them at their absolute peak. When Ozzy could easily sing their latest album. Cheers.

Back then, could you have ever imagined they would be playing a gig in 2025?
