Black Sabbath

By July 1995, Black Sabbath was experiencing a pivotal moment in their storied career, having released their 1995 album "Forbidden" just a few months prior. This album was significant as it featured a mix of newcomers and long-time members, navigating the band's evolution while trying to stay true to their heavy metal roots. The Chicago concert captured on July 7, 1995 at the New World Music Theatre showcases the band’s resilience and enduring power, despite the mixed reviews of "Forbidden." Interestingly, this concert was part of their reunion tour, marking a comeback after various line-up changes and experimenting with different sounds over the years. Audiences were treated to classic hits blended with newer material, reminding them why Black Sabbath has remained a cornerstone of the heavy metal genre. Don't you just love a band that can mold and adapt, yet still rock hard? This concert is a testament to their legacy.
