I hesitated when CQ suggested that I go to this show. Even though I saw them once in 1975, Black Sabbath is not really my genre, and I don't consider myself a fan. I downloaded the latest album "13" to familiarize myself with their new songs and was surprised to find myself describing it as "excellent." I was overdue anyway for my first visit to JLL and have been avoiding it since it was the Nissan Pavilion, mostly due to parking lot horror stories. As a reward, I was frisked on the way in but all they found were my earplugs. It's a good thing I remembered those because this was an extremely loud performance. In fact it was so loud and I was enjoying the show so much that I didn't notice until listening to the recording that Ozzy's voice was, shall we say, "a bit pitchy" at times. I don't think anyone else noticed or cared for that matter as we watched this legendary band perform beyond our expectations. My immediate neighbors were quieter than I could have hoped for. The parking lot gridlock was about what I expected, except I made it worse for myself by losing my car for 20 minutes. I gotta stop doing that.
