HI Joe,
With the baby and all, you could be a bit behind, or is it that none of
the people who've been have sent you anything? Anyway, here's my take of
Sabbath at Ozzfest 2005 from Bristow, VA (Washington DC)
First off, I had the pleasure of taking my 15 year old son, and old-school
metal-head, to his first Ozzfest to see two of his favorite bands, and
they didn't disappoint. And being to old for the GA pit, I bought him the
ticket for the floor, and opted for a seat myself. (not a great seat, but
with the video monitors, that didn't matter so much.) Of course, now I'm
highly envious, as he spent nearly the entire main portion of the show
dead-center, five feet from the stage.
After spending the first half of the day in the sun, and seeing a decent
Zimbie set (that included snippets of a couple Joe Walsh songs and a Van
Halen song), time came to be herded over to the main stage for the real
show. The first three bands were OK (even as a BLS fan, that's about all I
can say), and then came a very energetic Iron Maiden. At this point, they
had stolen the show completely, and I thought they'd be the highlight,
especially given Ozzy's lessening physical appearance on the TV show. (a
couple Spinal Tap-ish props were used, cheesing up the show a bit, but
still fun just the same: The "beast" during the Number of the Beast, and
the 12-foot tall Ed that came out and terrorized the set:/)
And then out come the Masters of Metal. About 15 minutes early, with the
image/audio montage before launching into the show, which looks to be the
exact same set list as the British shows. Of course, prior to going I
hadn't read any previous setlists, so i wasn't sure what to expect. I was
really presently surprised to hear Dirty Women, with a quiet Ozzy and a f-ing
brilliant guitar solo by Tony, which was the personal highlight for me.
(when I saw them last on the Reunion tour, Ozzy wouldn't shutup for a
second, rendering the guitar solos pointless). Early on, Ozzy told us that
he was told he should cancel the show, because of his chest cold, but he
could do that to us, which make him look even more indestructible . A
couple times, the lights dimmed while he went back to the drum riser to
take whatever it was for his apparent cold, and we did hear a couple
tell-tale coughs, but he still gave his all. The guy never stopped, and
certainly wouldn't let us stop either. Running in place, practically doing
jumping jacks every time he wanted us to clap, and running from point a to
point b, the guy is a ball of energy from start to finish.
The only real disappointment for me was the Symptom Of The Universe tease,
which damn near had me crapping me pants and jumping up and down, and when
it just fizzled and they went to Sweet Leaf and then Electric Funeral, I
felt very let down. But that was quickly forgiven, as the rest of the set
was just as kick ass as the rest, and left everyone drained by the end of
the night.
Still worn out from the hours of head banging and screaming like an idiot,
-Larry
