Black Sabbath concert, Shoreline, Mt. View, CA, August 26, 2013

[UPDATE: 5/17/14]

As I listen to some classic Black Sabbath tunes I’m reflecting back to the night I saw Black Sabbath at Shoreline with a few of my friends.  Not only was it great fun with a bunch of awesome guys but the show was simply awesome!

I had rather low expectations, honestly, because the Sabbath guys are getting old but they did not disappoint.  In fact, just the opposite! They were not only great – they were terrific!  The sound was incredible.  The song list was outstanding.  And the energy was unbelievable.

Without-a-doubt this was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen (or will see).  These guys in Black Sabbath are clearly not hurting for money so they do these concerts for the love of making music.

I was very privileged to have seen Black Sabbath.  You should too if you get the chance.
