First, let me say what an absolute treat it was to watch all of these bands perform live from the comfort of my own apartment in downtown Los Angeles with 5G, a 50 watt speaker and a 32 inch flat panel monitor (smart tv) without having to stand in line for 15 minutes to use the latrine or buy something to eat or drink. Not only was this concert historic because it was the final live performance of Black Sabbath with the original lineup, I strongly suspect that this will forever change the way people view concerts. The show started at 6:30AM Pacific Daylight Time and ended with an 8 minute fireworks display at 4PM. EVERYBODY GAVE THEIR ALL. Now for the review in chronological order...

#1) Rival Sons: Its difficult being the opening act when you have 15 bands following you as you're usually the first one forgotten. As soon as I connected at 6:30AM, they took the stage and their opening song was marred by a technical glitch which made it difficult to process. They played 3 songs and covered Electric Funeral. Final Grade: B

#2) Anthrax: I can't believe these guys are still around! They're a New York City band that has been kicking out the jams since 1981! They played 3 songs and covered Into the Void. Final Grade: B

#3) Halestorm: Here's the biggest surprize of the day and the best overall performance! They played 3 songs, 1 of which was brand new. Final Score: A+

#4) Lamb of God: Thrash metal is one of those things you either love or hate. They played 3 songs and covered Children of the Grave. I know everyone in this band gave their all, but I'm just not a huge fan of their music or singing style. Final Score: C

#5) Tom Morello's All Star Set #1: Tom Morello of Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine did NOT play in his first of 3 all star sets, but those who did covered Ozzy's Shot in the Dark, along with Sweet Leaf and one of the best renditions of 'Changes' I've ever heard. Final Score: B+

#6) Alice in Chains: Unfortunately for Alice in Chains, after they played Man in the Box and Would, there were technical issues and nobody could hear the third song. Fortunately, they replayed the missed song between the Guns 'N' Roses and Metallica break in between sets later in the show. I didn't recognize the song as it must have been off of one of the William Duval albums. A far cry from the live performance they gave in Louisille, Kentucky opening up for Kiss in 1996. Final Grade: B

#7) Gojira: Again, thrash metal is love it or leave it. This is the first time I've ever heard this band. They covered Under the Sun. Final Grade: B-

#8) Tom Morello's All Star Set #2: Featured 3 drummers: one from Blink 182, one from The Red Hot Chili Peppers and one from Tool. First they did an instrumental and then out came K.K. Downing, one of the guitar players from Judas Priest, and they covered Breaking the Law. Their final song was one of the best covers of Snow Blind I've ever heard. Final Grade: B+

#9) Tom Morello's All Star Set #3: This was quite a lineup! Using the drummer from Blink 182, the bass player from Extreme and the guitarist from In Living Color, Tom Morello joined forces with Sammy Hagar and Ron Wood to cover Ozzy's Flying High Again and Bark at the Moon, along with Montrose's Rock Candy. Sammy Hagar was then replaced by Steven Tyler who covered the Run DMC version of Walk This Way, Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love and finished with Aerosmith's Train Kept a Rollin'. Final Grade: B

#10) Pantera: Excellent rendition of Planet Caravan. Final Grade: B

#11) Tool: Played 3 songs exceptionally well, but didn't play 'Sober.' Really? Really? Final Grade: A-

#12) Slayer: Again, I'm not a huge fan of thrash metal. Final Grade: C

#13) Guns 'N' Roses: I did not recognize their first 2 songs as they were probably something new. Very few people in the audience recognized them either as everyone just stood around in silence and took it in. They covered Sabbath Bloody Sabbath very well, but had lots of miscues and missed notes for Paradise City & Welcome to the Jungle. Final Grade: B-

#14) Metallica: They're pushing 72 Seasons and that was the album their first 2 songs came off of, which I didn't recognize. Lots of missed notes on their third song. They made up for it though with their final song, the title track off of Master of Puppets. Final Grade: A-

#15) Ozzy: With Zach Wilde on guitar and Mike Inez on bass, poor Ozzy was confined to a chair for his entire show. Lots of missed lyrics. Final Grade: A-

#16) Black Sabbath: Toni and Geezer were on their game, but Bill missed lots of notes and Ozzy missed lots of lyrics. They played War Pigs, NIB, Iron Man and Paranoid with a tearful Ozzy for their final set. Final Score: A-

The show was definetely worth the $30.00 price of admission as I can tell you I bought the Woodstock 94 pay per view and it was $50.00 - and that was back in 1994! A great job was done by EVERYONE INVOLVED! Thank you for the memories and my first rock concert in 12 years! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
