Black Sabbath and Rob Halford Perform 'Iron Man' Live at Ozzfest 2004

Venue: Alpine Valley Music Theatre Location: East Troy, Wisconsin, United States Date: August 14, 2004

In 2004, when Black Sabbath performed "Iron Man" with Rob Halford, they were in a poignant phase of their career, having very recently released the album "Past Lives" in 2002, which celebrated the band's earlier works. This live show at Alpine Valley Music Theatre was part of the Ozzfest tour, a significant event for metal fans and a showcase of the band's enduring legacy. It's fascinating to note that this era marked a reunion of sorts, where original members, after numerous ups and downs, were emphasizing their classic sound. The inclusion of Halford, famously known as the frontman of Judas Priest, added a thrilling twist to the performance, underscoring a camaraderie and mutual respect in the heavy metal scene. Black Sabbath was not just performing; they were cementing their place in rock history at this gig.
