Black Sabbath Live Performance at Gods of Metal Festival 1998 in Milan
In June 1998, Black Sabbath headlined the Gods of Metal festival in Milan, marking a significant moment during their reunion tour. This live recording comes just after the release of 'Reunion,' their first live album in 1998, which celebrated the original lineup, including Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler. It's interesting to note that this album featured re-recorded versions of classic hits along with new material, reflecting the band's blend of nostalgia and revitalization. However, drummer Bill Ward was notably absent from this concert, raising questions about the dynamics of the group during this phase. Still, fans were treated to a powerful performance that underscored Black Sabbath's enduring legacy in the heavy metal genre.
