Iron Man Live Performance by Black Sabbath at Live Aid 1985

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

By the time Black Sabbath took the stage at Live Aid in 1985, they were in the midst of a remarkable resurgence. Just a year before, they released their album "Seventh Star," which marked a new phase in their career under the management of legendary producer Glenn Hughes. This performance, featuring the iconic lineup of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, was particularly special as it showcased their enduring impact on rock. Ironically, this historic concert was one of the band's first major appearances after years of lineup changes and hiatuses. The energy and nostalgia encapsulated in their performance of "Iron Man" resonated deeply with fans, reminding everyone of their heavy metal roots. Interestingly, the set also highlighted how, despite personal struggles, Black Sabbath's music continued to bridge generations.
