This will be one for the ages...

[Larry Lucido]

Awesome!

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

I feel like I’ve died and gone to hell.

[SamAdams76]

I had a dream that Ozzy Osbourne died.

Well, we all will someday, but it was odd that I was dreaming about Ozzy. I'm not even a big fan.

[dfwgator]

I thought Tommy Iommi was dealing with Cancer a few years back.

[Fungi]

Can’t wait to miss it!

[dinodino]

Gonna see if I can go…

[MotorCityBuck]

Fly outta Detroit to Heathrow on the 4th and train to Birmingham. Concert on the 5th. Possible. Very Possible. Rock n Roll!

I feel like I’ve died and gone to hell.

Here’s the question I ask all our contestants: What made you drop out?

Well a lot of people think it was the 400 acid trips I took.

But what was it really, Bob?

One day I played Black Sabbath at 78 speed, man.

And then what happened?

I saw God!

You saw God, well that sounds like true enlightenment to me Bob.

[MotorCityBuck]

He has been battling lymphoma for over a decade. That's the last I heard.

[BipolarBob]

I thought that was off the record.

Black Sabbath in Paris, 55 years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EPJXuTK8j5k&pp=ygUSMTk3MCBibGFjayBzYWJiYXRo

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.

[DAC21]

Pretty amazing a Band formed in 1968 still has all original members still alive and functioning enough to “try” to pull this off.

[Mariner]

This is a recording of that show

Visions of old geezers, wheelchairs, walkers and oxygen bottles

[Mariner]

“Visions of old geezers”

Yep, even Geezer Butler

Enjoying themselves...perhaps one last time for some.

Good for them.

Better than middle aged guys sitting around b.tching and moaning about politics :)

But at least we’re comfy in our homes with heat and hearth :)

[Bob434]

Hey now, I didn’t take that many trips

[Bob434]

and a Dr Thunder to enjoy while we mash our keyboards
