Black Sabbath

In the summer of 1985, Black Sabbath was riding the resurgence of their career with the release of 'Seventh Star' earlier that same year. This album marked a pivotal moment as it introduced guitarist Tony Iommi's collaboration with vocalist Glenn Hughes, shifting away from the original lineup. During their live performance at the John F. Kennedy Stadium on July 13, 1985, they showcased their iconic heavy metal sound amidst the backdrop of the memorable Live Aid event. Though the setlist featured beloved tracks, the performance was somewhat overshadowed by the chaotic energy and expectations of such a massive festival. It's fascinating to note that, despite lineup changes and the evolution of their sound, Black Sabbath remained a driving force in the metal scene, proving their ability to captivate audiences even in a shifting musical landscape.
