Black Sabbath

By the time Black Sabbath took the stage at Live Aid on July 13, 1985, they had just released their album "Born Again" in 1983, featuring a heavier sound and the iconic vocals of Ian Gillan from Deep Purple. This performance marked a comeback of sorts for the band, showcasing their enduring influence in the rock scene after years of lineup changes and musical evolution. Interestingly, the Live Aid concert was a massive charity event aimed at raising funds for famine relief in Ethiopia, which added a layer of importance to their performance. Although their set was short, it was a fiery rendition of their classic hit "Paranoid," reminding fans of the band’s roots in heavy metal. This performance wasn't just another gig; it was a statement of resilience and passion, solidifying Black Sabbath’s legendary status.
