Hi Joe!
That was it. My dream is fulfilled. After years of waiting, I had the
chance to see Sabbath in Dortmund, what I did. I never thought I would see
Ozzy (whom I really like most) in my life and when when I heared that
Sabbath are about to come to Dortmund (where I live), I thought I was the
"choosen one". This concert was just for me.... :-) So here is my review,
hope you like it!!!
I think I was at the hall about two o'clock with (only) eleven other guys,
waiting for the start at eight. When I got in, I could reach a place in
the second row, straight in front of the mic., where I was waiting with a
few other really nice guys for the first band "Soulfly". When Soulfly came
on stage about eight o'clock the crowd wasn't really reacting. There was
just a few Soulfly fans in the middle of the hall who looked kind of
ridicolous, because they were the only ones who moved. I don't like
Soulfly myself and I don't understand, why Sabbath let Soulfly tour with
them, although they have a total different sound! When Sabbath came on
stage about quarter past nine the crowd went nuts. Ozzy screamed "Oooohooohoooohoooo..."
and "Ai, ai, ai..." and all people, were screaming with him. Sabbath
started with NIB (at the end is a setlist) and everybody was singing.
There were no songs on that the crowd wasn't singing, which makes Ozzy
really happy, because he was laughing and smiling all the time and said
several times that he really, really loves us. Other highlights were, that
Ozzy showed us is ass (!!!), made a mistake at the start of "The Wizard"
on the harmonica and he throwed his buckets of water over the security
guides, which was really funny. They were playing about 12 songs and a few
riffs without the rest of the songs. 105 minutes of Sabbath. The 105 best
minutes of my live!

Hi,
Last night I saw Black Sabbath at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany.
It was my third Sabbath gig with original line-up. The concert was not
completely sold out (standing area was), second ring at the arena was not
used. But it was very busy. Support act was really a "throw-away" band, I
really don't like Soulfly.
Sabbath played the same setlist as at the warm-up gig earlier this week,
with exception of the Sleeping Village part at the encore. I have to say
that Symptom..., Sweet Leaf and Sabbath bloody Sabbath were really only
snippets that were played (sadley). During Into The Void Ozzy sang a part
of Electric Funural, Geezer sarted laughing immediatly, that was really
funny, Ozzy was looking as if he wanted to say "What's wrong"... During
the concert there was a photographer running around and shooting pictures,
these will show up in the future Ozzfest tour program I think. Was a very
good show! The band looked good. 90 minutes show (including intro tape).

1. NIB

For me it was a historic, special day- I“ve
been waiting to see Sabbath in the original line-up for 26(!!) years. Saw
Ozzy on his first solo-tour in 1981, Sabbath with Ian Gillan on vocals in
1983, but never before Sab with Ozzy! So I went to Dortmund with
excitement and greatest expectations: My first impressions were how young
Black Sabbath- fans can be - unfortunately my place while the concert was
on a chair at the tribune- a chair!!! (sitting on a fucking chair while
watching a concert is not what I call rock“n roll!!) Nevertheless, I was
happy when Soulfly finished their set and the lights went out for Sabbath
fort he next 90 mins.
I was completely blasted away; the sound was good and the band played as
they were a young school-band, full of enthusiasm. Now, the setlist is
already known, so what more can I say? It was the concert- highlight for
me this year, nonsense, this life!!! I only missed a full played version
of Sabbath bloody Sabbath and maybe one or two more encores.
Greetings from Cologne,
Sabbath never dies!!!

Hi
I am 19 years old and a total Black Sabbath fan since 2003. (What a waste
of time before..J). In 2003/04 I wanted to go to the European Ozzy tour,
but it was cancelled several times, the last time because of Ozzy's quad
accident.
Because of that accident, and Ozzy's bad condition seen on the stupid TV
Show, I didn't expect to see Ozzy or even Sabbath life anymore. But when I
read reviews from Ozzfest 04 there was a little hope again. Finally in
2005 my dream came true. Dortmund is the nearest venue of the Tour to my
hometown Mainz. So I bought the Ticket for Dortmund. Sadly Black Label
Society didn't open in Dortmund, just Soulfly. Black Label are not that
often in Germany, too , so I was a little pissed. But fā??k it, I was
about to see my favorite band of all times. After a three hour drive my
dearest friends, two other cool guys and me arrived at the Westfahlenhalle.
We went inside and separated, because I was the only one with a inside
standing (don't know the right term J) ticket. So I went as near to the
stage as possible: center, about the 5th row or so. Soulfly were ok. Not
as powerful as you might expect but definitely worth to see. The only
Sepultura Song I recognized was Roots Bloody Roots. Furthermore Prophecy,
Seek n Strike, Bleed with Cavaleraā?? Son on the Fred Durst Part,
Jumpdafuckup, some new songs and so onā?▌ Then it was time. After a too
long break we could hear Ozzys voice, when the lights were still on. The
it was dark and there was an intro with a mix of the best Sabbath songs
along with a nice lightshow. The they entered the stage. I expected War
Pigs but they started with N.I.B., and the crowd totally got crazy. I got
squeezed like an orange, I certainly did not expect that on such on ā??old
menā?? concert. So I escaped to the side and a little back. Then I got a
perfect view on Tony. The first surprise was the second song, After
Forever. Really didn't expect to hear that. The Band was in an awesome
mute and in a surprisingly good condition. Ozzy's voice was way better
than on Live at Budokan and the other guys had lots of energy ,too. Ok
Tony just walked from side to side and grinned all the time, but he played
awesome and without any mistake. Ozzy jumped, threw water and banged like
he was 30. The riff from Symptom Of The Universe was fantastic but I was a
little disappointed that they made a medley out of that song and sweet
leaf. Other surprises where, that they played The Wizard with Ozzy on the
harmonica, great performance!!, and that the Encore was Children Of The
Grave, also totally awesome!!, and not Paranoid, which was the End of the
regular Show and started with the opening riff from Sabbath Bloody
Sabbath. When the lights went on again there was Changes on the PA. I
bought a Tour shirt for 30 Euros (expensive but sadly normal) and told my
friends again and again, that it was the best concert of my life. Maybe
Iā??ll see them again maybe not. Maybe there will be a new album maybe
not. But something is sure, that the highlight of my life is past. Never
say Die! Greets Daniel
