Black Sabbath - Live... Gathered In Their Masses (2013) (Deluxe Box, CD + 2xDVD)

Date: 28 Nov 2013 15:00:00

Full disclosure right away, I love Black Sabbath. Every album, every singer, every lineup….I honestly love it all. If that makes me biased, so be it. I still want quality product. I'm really happy they decided to document and release a DVD capturing what might be their last tour, and even if it's not, you know they aren't going to be able to keep it up forever, what with Tony's health and Ozzy's…well, Ozzy's stage issues, which I'll get to in a minute. But the first thing to note about this show is that Tony and Geezer are as incredible as ever. It heartens me to see those guys onstage having a great time, visibly enjoying sharing the stage with Ozzy and playing the best songs from their catalog, plus a few new tracks. As for Ozzy, editing has done him wonders. Like many fans, I've seen quite a bit of Youtube footage of this tour, and while fan-filmed Youtube videos can't exactly be hailed for their pristine sound quality, it was obvious that Ozzy did not sound much like the Ozzy of yesterday during this tour. His voice frequently cracked, he had trouble finding the right key on most nights. And he now does that troubling thing onstage where he sings a verse or two, then takes two or three steps away from the mic, then seems to remember that he can't go far from the mic stand, and rushes right back. It's not like he does this every now and then; he does it on every song throughout every show. With the magic of editing, however, all you really see in this footage are those rare moments when Ozzy actually runs around the stage a little bit and interacts with the fans or with Tony. Of course, his vocals have also been cleaned up so that he sounds at least listenable, but seriously…check some of those Youtube clips if you really want to understand how much work was done to improve the vocal quality. I've been a huge fan of Ozzy for three decades, and I give the guy a pass as old as he is now and as much as he's abused his body all of these years, and given his status as one of heavy metal's all-time greatest legends. But maybe, with his stage presence and skills so diminished from what they used to be, it might be time for Sabbath to pack it in and stay off the road. Selfishly, I would still love another new album, as "13" was easily my favorite release of 2013, but it wouldn't hurt me too bad if this was Sabbath's last trek. They've contributed more than any band to the development and perpetuation of heavy music, and it amazes me that they continue to do it 43 years after the release of their debut album.

Concert highlights for me include the new songs, "Loner", "Methademic", "The End of the Beginning", and "God Is Dead?" I would've loved to also hear "The Age of Reason", which has been one of the fan favorites off "13" and one they started playing regularly as the tour went on. It's great to see them feel confident enough in the new material to give it its place in the show instead of relying on all the old standbys. Of course, all those songs are played, too, but I like the freshness of including some new songs. On the old stuff, sure we've heard Iron Man and Paranoid about a billion times each, but those songs are timeless and crowds never tire of them. I have to admit that if I went to a Sabbath show and they didn't play those songs, I'd be disappointed. As much as I'd love to hear some old chestnuts, like say "After Forever" or "A National Acrobat", they can't ignore songs that have become iconic not just in their musical genre, but in pop culture itself. Sabbath are truly legends in their own time, and I can't imagine a more fantastic 2013 than to have not one, but two new Black Sabbath releases to add to my collection.
