Black Sabbath

In July 1998, Black Sabbath delivered a powerful live performance at the Roskilde Festival, showcasing their enduring legacy in the heavy metal scene. Prior to this concert, the band had released the album 'Forbidden' in 1995, which, while not their most acclaimed work, marked their attempt to stay relevant in a changing musical landscape. Interestingly, this live recording features a lineup that includes the iconic Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward—reuniting the classic lineup that had shaped the genre's sound. The energy at Roskilde is palpable, with the crowd captivated by timeless classics like 'NIB' and 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.' This performance not only underscores the band’s lasting influence but also serves as a testament to the connection between their music and the passionate fanbase that continues to support them.
