Black Sabbath

By July 1985, Black Sabbath was in a pivotal phase of their career, having recently reunited with original frontman Ozzy Osbourne for their iconic performance at Live Aid. Prior to this show, the band's latest studio album, 'Born Again,' was released in 1983, marking a new chapter with Ian Gillan taking vocals. This period was significant, as the Live Aid concert symbolized a reunion not just for them but also for fans and the larger rock community. Performing 'Children of the Grave' in front of a massive crowd at John F. Kennedy Stadium highlighted their lasting impact on heavy metal and the concert's charity purpose. Interesting tidbit: this performance was one of their first major appearances after a tumultuous series of lineup changes and personal struggles, showcasing their resilience and enduring rivalry with other heavy metal legends. It was more than a concert; it was a testament to their legacy.
