Well all i have to say is Black Sabbath is still the frickin Best The Deftones opened and
really sucked, their sound quality was the absolute worst!
Then boom the Pantera banner fell and that was all i needed, pantera played a good set,
but at times there was too much base and you couldn't here em except when they went into a
little cat scratch fever that was awesome!
when they were done i could no longer hear very well but hey who cares - Although when the
sirens started and Sabbath was the absolute best, they were all in the same uniforms as on
lettermen and ozzy sounded great, so did the rest of the band. Ozzy was all smillin for
alot of the show and hey also did his comical scary faces alot and his frog jumps. The van
andel arena was packed and security is pretty tight there it was almost too much, they
were pullin people out during sabbath and pantera. Iin about the middle of the set when
people were goin crasy, chicks started flashing the camera like mad, there were probably
more women on the screen than ozzy for awhile, one chick who flashed the screen started to
grab her tit and suck it, but they panned a way and got back to the show, i had never
heard After forever on cd or anything so that was cool and it sounded great.....their
speaker setup was massive, and hanging from the van andel arena it looked very impressive!
halfway into the show ozzy took his shirt off and started jumping around, pretty athletic
for a sickly guy like him, then he grabbed some buckets and started whipping them all
over. He mentioned the titties a few times and kept the crowd goin, but the crowd was not
extremely reponsive....especially these two people who were sitting beside me who
eventually left. Why would you pay $39 bucks and then leave?
Well it was a good show and my ears still hurt! Heres the songs to my
recollection:
War Pigs (Sirens and little it bity explosions)
Basically/NIB
Fairies Wear Boots
After Forever (there were some big fireworks in here but i
can't remember when)
Electric Funeral
Sweet Leaf (ozzy was talkin about smokin dope)
Into the Void? i can't remember if they played this one
Snowblind
Dirty Women
Black Sabbath(with thunder noises and lights and flaming torches!)
Iron Man
Children of the Grave
Paranoid ( after that more fire works and a massive amount of streamers and black sabbath
paper every where!)
Changes [tape]
Well thats it, Matt Collin

Hey all you SABBATH fans hows it goin?! I wanted to tell you how the Black Sabbath show
was here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was alot of fun. The Deftones weren't bad, but no
one seemed to care for them. Pantera was awsome they opened with "Domination"
which is my favorite song. They kicked ass!!! But it was Ozzy and crew that beat `em all.
It was great. Some girl in front row showed off her breasts and Ozzy said, "Nice
Tits" it was great. Sabbath had a great line up. They started out with "WAR
PIGS" whih was real cool. But the best song was probably "BLACK SABBATH"
all these torches came out from the stage it was awsome. Then they played "IRON
MAN", "CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE", and their only encore "PARANOID"
kinda like the lineup from the Reunion cd. It was disappointing that SABBATH didn't play
"SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH" that is one of my favorite songs but oh well. It was a
great concert and History indeed. SEEYA
