Concert review for Aug. 10 Verizon Wireless
Amphitheatre Show.
Got there half way into Slayer. Pretty decent. Judas Priest was good. It
started pouring rain mid way through so I stood at the snack bar for a
while. I have seen Priest before (1981), and I think they still have the
energy. Real good. Sabbath were next. They did the same show I've read
about from other reviews. No guitar solo. Every song was right on the
money, note for note perfect. Ozzy did his thang. Bill did a great job
drumming. Geezer was great as usual. For me there was something missing.
The band seemed tired. There was little interaction between them, and what
there was seemed very canned. The crowd seemed to love it. I loved it.
It's just that I've seen Sabbath several times before and they just seem
tired...uninspired. Why the same songs? Ozzy? I thought Ozzy sounded like
an old man (I know...he is). Here is an idea. Do an album where the whole
thing is like Planet Caravan...smooth and jazzy...with heavy, mind blowing
sections and movements. Or an all acoustic blues album. Black Sabbath
unplugged. Just some thought's following a concert that convinced me it's
time for Sabbath to either evolve or retire.
