I was standing in the sound booth! one of the few very special VIPs brought along by Zakk Wylde who had an amazing display besides the few times he tripped. OZZY you are still amazing and you have no idea what an honor it was to be standing 10 feet from the Prince of Darkness as he walked off stage!
I will see you in Portland, Possibly LA and Possibly Madison Square Gardens. LOOKING forward to being VIP again at the next shows.
Zombie I love the music that he displayed. all my favorites and some i hadnt heard before! He is truely amazing...See you again
We were at the concert and both OZZY AND ROB kicked ass..They both put on a awesome show..I recommend that everyone goes to see them..OZZY and ROB are #1.....
Ozzy's songs are always going to be classic so it doesn't matter which one's he plays. With that said there were a lot of slower songs blended in (see set lists previously posted). It's obvious that Ozzy'z getting up there as an upbeat song was almost always followed by something a little tamer; it was hard to get into a "flow" as a fan. The most obvious thing about the show that I can't believe previous reviewers failed to mention more was Zack Wild (sp?) falling over numerous times during the show. Whatever was wrong with that guy I don't know but it was simply unacceptable as a professional.
My vantage point was from the side of the stage where he was playing. During his solo, which included a cool version of the Star Spangled Banner (which, strangely, Rob Zombie's guitarist also did a version of), he tried to fall/lean back onto an amplifier that wasn't there and took a stumble. A stagehand came over to steady him and he got back to where he was leaning on the speaker. After the solo, when Ozzy came back out, they started playing the next song and Zack fell flat on his back! This time three stagehands ran over and started talking to him like a boxer that had just been knocked out. He laid there and played almost the entire song on his back. After this he got up and finished the show but he was clearly not right. Many times he walked back to the drummer and faced him as he played as if trying to keep time. During one of the songs he obviously just lost his place and a good couple stanzas were performed with only drum and bass. Zack tried to jump back in like it was all planned but it wasn't. Ozzy was looking back at the stagehands and other members, at times throwing his hands up, as if asking, "what the f*** is wrong with this guy?".
Very, very poor showmanship. Ozzy's obviously getting a little old to do what he's doing but Zack's got no excuse. Some other fans in the front rows said that they saw Zack's eyes rolling back in his head while he was playing and they were convinced that his guitar was being piped in. I don't know about that but if it was anybody but the King of Rock, I would have simply left.
The show started off with a bang , meaning when Ozzy came on, sorry Rob! The first couple of songs were great, then the oz man somewhat lost it, playing some slow songs, and losing the crowd, but prevaled by finishing with a sick set from Black Sabbath the greatest band ever. Hey reclaimed his throan and captured the audience, with his showmanship and the bands non stop energy. overall a great show, if you weren't there, i feel bad for you, truly a experience.
Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy. I can't believe how bad his set was. The song selection was awesome, No War Pigs or Iron Man, contrary to some of the other reviews, just Into the Void from BS days. But the rest is pretty accurate. He sounded aweful, was never on key for a complete song, Zakk's guitar solo was nothing short of embarrasing, he whammy barred for so long, my 7yr old was screaming for him to be done! Mike Borden, while I think he is an amazing drummer, must've had bad monitors or something, because his tempo was always speeding up, slowing down. Really a let down from a 30+ yr fan's perspective. Rob Zombie on the other hand, was amazing. His set was the best i've seen at an arena show in years. Reminds me of classic Alice Cooper, puts on a show to write home about. In the Moment were generic at best, and merely playing on the popularity of crap like Evenescance. Bummer Ozzy, get the words down before the next show!!
