Black Sabbath - End Of The Beginning Live Performance from Gathered In Their Masses
In 2013, Black Sabbath was riding high on the release of '13', their first studio album in over 35 years, which debuted just a few months before this live recording. This was a significant comeback for the band, marking a reunion with vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, who hadn't been part of a studio album since 'Never Say Die!' back in 1978. 'End Of The Beginning' captures the electrifying energy of their performance at the 'Gathered In Their Masses' concert in Melbourne, showcasing classic tracks while also promoting their new material. It’s fascinating to note that this album received a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for the track 'God Is Dead?'—a testament to their enduring legacy in the metal genre. The 2013 tour was not just a revival; it highlighted how Black Sabbath's music continues to resonate with both longtime fans and a new generation.
