It is not by accident that I started this long over due blog on 6th April. For as we all know 6th April is the date of the Cal Jam. That day when Sabbath played their hearts out in front of the willing souls of the west coast.
And the film of that day, in particular the opening number ‘Children Of The Grave’ is among the best there is of any band ever. I particularly adore the way the crowd respond to a beat that isn’t there and that Ozzy is clearly beside himself at his potential. And that he stands there in front of approx 250,000 Californians doing the peace sign throughout. Like he was sending a message ….
