All thanks for this recording should be directed to KCtaper for his efforts. This is an incomplete recording due to him being caught recording the show by security. He was told to delete the file or to leave the venue. He chose to leave the venue and keep what he had recorded. There was a volume change in the last 2 songs from where KCtaper noticed the recorder was pushing to many decibels and he turned the levels down. I raised the levels of those songs to make them closer to the others. This is the 3rd to last USA show.

For one of its last shows ever in the United States, Black Sabbath brought to the BOK Center on Tuesday night the fire and musicianship that launched its career and a whole style of music decades ago.
From the opening scream from frontman Ozzy Osbourne through the last chords reverberating through the arena, it was a head-banging show that shook the stands and sent fists into the air.
Despite missing some notes later on, Osbourne’s iconic voice was fantastic. It was clear and strong, and only occasionally missing the pitch, but the energy and feeling behind every breath was felt by the audience.
Toni Iommi absolutely shredded that guitar to pieces, then put it together so he could shred it again. The iconic licks on songs like “War Pigs” and “Iron Man” riled up the crowd, and scorching solos on “Fairies Wear Boots,” “Snowblind” and “Behind the Wall of Sleep” fanned the flames.
Those few who were sitting during the show surely had their chairs rumbling from Geezer Butler’s bellowing bass. Current drummer Tommy Clufetos was ferocious and powerful, a sight to behold, especially as he thrashed during an extended solo.
While each part was performed at a high level, Tuesday night’s sound mixing was on point. No one element was above the rest, though each was easily distinguishable. It was a complete sound, and it was loud and nostalgic and fun.
After Tuesday’s show, Black Sabbath has two more shows in the United States. The band played Tulsa after an extended break from the road. That came together for a top-notch show for fans, and an emotional, high-caliber show for the band.
