Black Sabbath was the very first big show I ever saw in 1971.

It was at Winterland in SF and Yes with Rick Wakeman was the warm-up band.

It was also the very BEST show I ever saw and I've seen a bunch of 'em.

They blew the roof off the place.

Yeah man. I saw the original Black Sabbath in 1973 in Philly. Ozzy was wasted on stage and some people left early. Still I enjoyed the show.

Black Sabbath was the very first big show I ever saw in 1971.

I saw them on their first tour after Ozzy was booted, with Ronnie Hames Dio as their front man. Day on the Green #2 in 1980. Great show, but Sabbath never really recovered from the loss of Ozzy, while Ozzy's solo career took off like a Crazy Train.

I saw Ozzy back in 1976. “Crazy, but that’s how it goes, millions of people living as foes”.

Would have loved to see Randy Rhodes on the stage with Ozzy again (RIP).

Excellent! I loved jamming Tony Iommi riffs when I was a young guitarist!
