Over the past two decades, Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, and bassist Geezer Butler have toured together numerous times, yet this performance marked the first occasion since 2005 that they were joined live by founding drummer Bill Ward. This reunion added a special touch to the event, highlighting the significance of their collaboration and the deep bonds of friendship forged over the years.

In recent interviews, Ozzy Osbourne expressed that the previous ‘The End’ farewell tour felt incomplete without the presence of Bill Ward. Battling various health challenges, Osbourne was forced to cancel his ‘No More Tours 2’ solo farewell tour in 2023. However, determined to deliver an unforgettable farewell, he dedicated himself to intensive rehabilitation and training for the ‘Back to the Beginning’ show, which not only featured a long-awaited reunion with Sabbath but also served as his last solo performance.

The setlist for this monumental farewell performance was thoughtfully curated, focusing on the band’s first two groundbreaking albums. The audience was treated to three iconic tracks from 1970’s Paranoid and one from their self-titled debut album, released earlier that same year. This nostalgic approach resonated deeply with fans, allowing them to relive the essence of what made Black Sabbath a cornerstone of heavy metal music.

The thrilling performance from Black Sabbath capped off a day filled with exceptional hard rock and metal performances. Numerous luminaries from the genre gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion, with Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich describing it as “Heavy Metal Summer Camp” in a behind-the-scenes video. The excitement was palpable, creating a festival-like atmosphere that united fans and artists alike.

Among the many acts that graced the stage earlier were Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, Pantera, Tool, Sammy Hagar, and Alice in Chains.
