IoMP 64: Tom Saw The Final Black Sabbath Show Online

On this episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Tom takes you inside Back to the Beginning — the unforgettable, star-studded final concert from Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. Whether you missed the 10-hour live-streamed mega-show or want to relive the chaos, surprises, and legends, this passionate review has you covered.
From Halestorm’s shockingly killer set and Metallica’s jaw-dropping finale to unexpected emotional moments (yes, Fred Durst brought people to tears) and Tom Morello’s jam-happy supergroup sessions, this episode pulls no punches. Hear which bands rose, which fell, and why Ozzy Osbourne — from a chair — still outshone everyone.
With over a dozen performances, countless cameos (Jack Black! Elton John! Papa V Emeritus?!), and one last bow from the godfathers of metal, Back to the Beginning was more than a show — it was a defining moment in heavy music history.
