Black Sabbath

In June 1978, Black Sabbath performed a live concert at the Hammersmith Odeon, showcasing their storied career during a pivotal time. Just prior to this performance, the band released their album "Never Say Die!" in September 1978, which featured tracks like "Never Say Die!" and "Johnny Blade." This album marked a significant moment as it was the last studio album to feature the original lineup with Ozzy Osbourne until their reunion years later. The performance at Hammersmith highlighted the band's enduring popularity and ability to captivate audiences with their heavy metal sound, despite experiencing internal challenges and lineup changes. Fans would experience iconic songs from their extensive catalog, including timeless hits like "War Pigs" and "Black Sabbath," which remain staples in the metal genre today. The concert exemplified the band's transition in sound while still holding onto the elements that defined their early success.
