Black Sabbath Live Aid Performance Featuring 'Children of the Grave', 'Iron Man' and 'Paranoid'

Venue: John F. Kennedy Stadium Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Date: July 13, 1985

In July 1985, Black Sabbath took to the stage at Live Aid, a star-studded event aimed at raising funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. By this time, the band had released their album "Seven Star" in 1986, which marked a significant shift in their sound and lineup; it was fronted by the renowned vocalist Glenn Hughes. The performance at JFK Stadium was a memorable moment, as it showcased classic hits like "Children of the Grave," "Iron Man," and "Paranoid," allowing them to remind fans of their heavy metal roots despite undergoing several lineup changes over the years. Interestingly, this show was one of the very few times Osbourne, Iommi, Butler, and Appice shared the stage together after their original era, making it a unique moment in the band's storied history.
