There isn't a metalhead on the face of the planet that isn't aware that Black Sabbath's last show is tonight, and there are probably very few who aren't keeping up with the show. It's hard not to keep up with it – social media is running rampant with fan videos, and the show itself is being livestreamed.
Back To The Beginning may as well be the grandfathers of metal's retirement party – Black Sabbath won't be gone, they're just saying 'see you later.' And every notable, formative metal band is in attendance. So far, Mastodon, Rival Sons, Anthrax, Halestorm, Lamb of God, the show's first supergroup, Alice In Chains, and Gojira have performed, all including at least one cover of an Ozzy Osbourne or Black Sabbath Song.
Up next will be the second supergroup, Pantera, Tool, Slayer, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, and then finally, Black Sabbath.
Jason Momoa said specifically that this show wasn't a goodbye to the band, but that it is a 'thank you' to all that Black Sabbath has done for the metal industry. And hell, Ozzy has been going for decades. The man needs a break.
