The Poojer Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Went with my middle son and wasn't really excited about going. Not really a big fan of the music. Sure he's iconic but it's just not my taste. What an incredibly enjoyable show it turned out to be. Ozzy was energetic, his voice sounded pretty darned good. His band was really top notch (Rick Wakeman's kid on keyboards. Played for 90 minutes and aside from the "Changes" song he played everything I knew. I'm really glad I went and I'm upset I went in with such a prejudiced attitude. Also worth noting, hit Donkeys Place in Camden for what might be the best cheese steak in the area that made cheese steaks famous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you got to see him with Zakk Wylde, who recently rejoined the band after a nine year hiatus. Wylde is a ridiculous guitar player and I was lucky enough to see him twice with Ozzy (86 and 92). Happy you had a great time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it was an early Sabbath song, I always thought it was solo Ozzy. They actually played a recorded version of it done by a female singer as we exited. Zakk Wylde was definitely a monster up there, and in the audience for a 20 minute solo. Edited September 13, 2018 by The Poojer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Man Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I caught this show in Syracuse over labor day weekend. Ozzy doesn't have the endurance he used to which is no surprise seeing he is pushing 70 but I thought he was still able to hit most of the notes reasonably well. Zakk is always awesome. 13 minutes ago, The Poojer said: I didn't realize it was an early Sabbath song, I always thought it was solo Ozzy.

That version they played at the end of the show was actually with Kelly Osborne. They recorded that back during their MTV reality show days IIRC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd have told me he'd still be on tour (let alone alive) 30+ years later I'd have said you need a check up from the neck up. One cool thing about Ozzy back then was the up and coming guitarists he brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Many years ago I worked in a restaurant on the ground floor of an office building. Upstairs was Jet Records Ozzy's label at the time (1985). My wife walked in the kitchen one day and I asked "what are you doing here?" Well she worked for a law firm that represented Jet. She said "guess what I have in the trunk of my car? The demo tapes for the Tribute album!" Pretty cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 First concert I ever went to was Ozzy (with the original Black Sabbath lineup.) with Korn opening at Hershey Park in 1996. I went with my older cousin. He said no beer, but my buddy and I got high as a kite. A great night that I'll never forget. School was rough the next day.

I saw him in the late 90s and he was absolutely pathetic. Lumbering around the stage like an old man saying "show me your hands" every 30 seconds. Maybe he was all drugged up then?

We did a pre party for Korn and this was before anyone heard of them. There was really no one there. Just the band sitting at the bar looking sad. There was music playing and I walked up and asked "is this you guys" They said "yeah". I looked at them and said "sounds awesome!!" I may have made their day.
