Black Sabbath - 'War Pigs' Live Performance at Ozzfest

Venue: Ozzfest Location: Donington, UK Date: June 11, 2005

In June 2005, during their performance at Ozzfest, Black Sabbath showcased their iconic track "War Pigs," a song originally featured on their 1970 album, "Paranoid." By this point in their career, the band, which played a pivotal role in shaping heavy metal, had experienced significant ups and downs, including lineup changes and hiatuses. The Ozzfest performance marked a resurgence for the band, as it took place during their reunion era, where original members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler reunited after years of solo projects and departures. This live recording is notable not only for its nostalgic value but also for the palpable energy that the band brought to the stage, demonstrating their enduring influence and the strong connection with their fan base. The 2005 performance also signified the band's commitment to celebrating their legacy while continuing to captivate audiences with their timeless music.
