Black Sabbath

In March 1986, Black Sabbath delivered a powerful performance in Worcester that showcased their enduring legacy in heavy metal. Just prior to this live concert, the band released their studio album 'Seventh Star' in early 1986, which marked a significant shift as it featured singer Glenn Hughes instead of original frontman Ozzy Osbourne, leading to a new sound that some fans embraced while others debated. This concert, recorded at the Centrum, played a crucial role in reaffirming their prowess live, particularly as it coincided with a transitional phase in their career. Interestingly, 'Seventh Star' was initially intended to be a solo album for guitarist Tony Iommi, reflecting the band’s evolving dynamics. The Worcester concert encapsulates that era’s blend of classic riffs and fresh turns, reminding us of the band's ability to resonate through changing times.
