Black Sabbath Live Performance of After Forever from Reunion Tour 1998
In the lead-up to this electrifying live recording of "After Forever" on December 31, 1998, Black Sabbath had recently come off the incredible energy of their self-titled reunion album released in 1998. This album, which marked the band's first studio endeavor in over a decade, aimed to recapture the essence that fans loved. The live performance at Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix was particularly special, as it celebrated the start of their Reunion tour, bringing the original lineup back together. What’s really fascinating is this was the first time they performed "After Forever" since its original release in 1971, making it a unique moment for both the band and their fans. Talk about a nostalgia trip! This concert not only highlighted their enduring legacy but also showcased their remarkable ability to connect with audiences, decades after their meteoric rise.
