djflex Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've never seen them, but it is what it is. Rob Halford says we're lucky because we still get to see the inventors of an entire genre. In 20 years, Priest will be done, Maiden will be done, Motorhead will be done, I'm lucky to have seen others I thought impossible so I can let them go and enjoy their retirement (well everyone but Ozzy) I sure hope i get to see maiden one more time...

TexMike Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Sabbath is up there with Rush as one of my very favorite bands, so I will definitely try to make it to at least one show. Right now looking at Vegas, assuming they do completely skip Texas. I would feel optimistic they'll add a bunch more U.S. dates, but due to his lymphoma and chemo treatments, Tony Iommi can't do several months of shows at a time anymore. And because Australia is already lined up for April, they may not come back to the states until after that, if at all. I'm disappointed that it looks like no new album is coming. I wonder if the failure to reconcile with Bill Ward pushed that off the table. Only doing a greatest hits tour kinda feels like a cash grab. And yes, they did play the farewell card once before. The 1999 summer tour (when they headlined Ozzfest) was billed at the time as "The Last Supper." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Speaking as a dark soul on the "Auld Shores of the Pond", I'm looking forward for European dates to be annoinced. I'm definetely gonna see them one (or more) last time; I'd love the last show(s) to be played in Birmingham (went there for Sabs before in 1997,1999 and 2013) Edited September 4, 2015 by geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Been there done that, If I were near any of the venues I would go. But I saw them many times back in the 70's. :codger: Black Sabbath would frequent the Asbury Park Convention Hall NJ in the 70's. I saw them in 72 and 75.. :smoke: The MSG show is going to be a hot ticket for sure. The 1975 tour produced a great bootleg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 They'll be in my neck of the woods (Palace of Auburn Hills) the day after my birthday. Might have to be a gift to myself! And Youngest Daughter just told me she'll fly out to see them with me, as she did for Rush in June! :dweez: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbine Freight Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hopefully do San Jose & LA. Maybe Kansas City depending on work. If it's Ozzy's last go around then I'm there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Isn't this like the 5th farewell tour? Perhaps, but I doubt Iommi is using his cancer and declining health as a marketing tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 No new record... that kind of takes some of the fun out of it.... I guess I'll decide next year if I'm going to MSG or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
