Editor's Review -
JUST three years ago Black Sabbath made its first visit to Adelaide in four decades — on Sunday night they made their last on the hard rock juggernaut’s farewell tour.
Much like the band’s previous visit, guitarist Tony Iommi threatened to steal the show, putting on a guitar masterclass with incendiary riffs and squealing solos.
However this time around, frontman Ozzy Osbourne’s voice sustained the 90-minute show, performing the band’s greatest hits with more flair and fewer hiccups than the 2013 show.
Opening with the doom rock of Black Sabbath, it was clear the unmistakeable sound that influenced everything after it still remains exciting.
There were no pyrotechnics, no over-produced light show — the legendary Birmingham rockers let the hits do the talking.One after another the band took Adelaide through its legendary back catalogue.
The schizophrenic Fairies Wear Boots followed, as did the stoner slow jam of Snowblind and the large crowd swayed in unison as Osbourne implored the crowd to scream along.
The frontman’s frail frame still wanders around the stage, at times appearing lost among the band’s simple stage setup. But surprisingly his voice was strong, adding to his band’s already formidable live sound.
The band’s sound was menacing yet perfectly balanced and Iommi’s guitar — the louder it is, the better it gets.Geezer Butler’s brilliant bass work was showcased on N.I.B. and the shuffling Dirty Woman before drummer Tommy Clufetos added a 70s-inspired drum solo to the set, giving the rest of the band a chance to recharge ahead of the huge hits about to follow.
Children of the Grave, Iron Man, and closing Paranoid inspired pandemonium — as Adelaide witnessed arguably some of the greatest rock songs ever written in the space of about 20 minutes.
The sea of black bodies and long hair banged their heads in unison until the very last note before the timely reminder of “The End” flashed upon the large screens reminding the large crowd that they had just witnessed something truly special.
More than 45 years later many (if not all) rock bands want to echo the brilliance of Black Sabbath — but even in their 60s, the originators are still doing heavy rock the best.
