Summary: Argh!
Review: Haven't the DVD producers ever heard of a commentary track or bonus sections? The interviews kill what would've been a great great show. Two stars for the music you do get to see and hear and Geezer is a madman on this disc. Sadly Ozzy is off key in many songs but he's Ozzy so its forgivable.

Hopefully the next DVD they make won't be produced with MyDVD and I've learned my lesson of not impulsely buying any concert dvd without checking out these reviews first.

Ruined. I'll reiterate what many have said, "It's a shame".

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: LETS HANG THE EDITOR !!
Review: This could have been such an awesome dvd, with the opportunity to have corrected the ruining of the songs with interviews thus separating them rather than mixing them into the music, once again they drop the ball on this one and released it the same as they did on the vhs version. How Sabbath could have agreed to have such a great concert ruined is beyond me. Out of the 14 song set I regret to tell you there are only 5 unruined songs by interviews, they are: war pigs, after forever, dirty women, children of the grave and paranoid. a mere taste of what might have been. I strongly suggest this dvd gets re-edited and put out the way the fans who pay their hard earned money....DESERVE !

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just so so, it's a pity for a Sabbath DVD
Review: It could have been a BIG Black Sabbath DVD.
It's a pity that with nowadays DVD format, we people don't have a chance to cut away the interviews parts of this disc.
The sound in the songs is terrific, but what a horrible waste of technology, you couldn't see the entire show without getting mad. When you think you are starting to enjoy War Pigs or Snowblind (best ones here) or whatever you like, you have stop and listen this silly interviews.
I know, i know, their words have interesting things for We, Sabbath Fans, but this could have been a bonus; so whenever you want to hear grandpa Ozzy talking about drug abuse and anecdotical situatons you could skip to that part. Damn!! in DVD format almost everything is posible, isn't it?
I would have liked to qualify this DVD and give it five stars for the performance which trust me, it's a great one. But I have to give it just three stars due to this mess with the "stop and get yourself upset" situation
I hope that in the future EPIC or Sabbath managers (Please Sharon Osbourne, we want the definitive Black Sabbath Live Album) could handle to reedit this stuff and separate show and interviews.

Summary: In response to "In Support Of The Editing"
Review: While it's true that everyone has the right to like or
dislike this video, I find it almost impossible to believe you were able to find anything "worthwhile" or "meaningful" in it?
The constant, inexcusable interruptions of every song with silly
interviews and reminiscing is the reason my copy is sitting in
a bargain flea market bin somewhere? DVD is a "best of both
worlds" format people! The customers who foolishly bought this
DVD should have been able to have their cake AND eat it too! Put the interviews in the "bonus"
section of the DVD where they belong, and give us the choice
of seeing the concert UNINTERRUPTED!
Thanks for ruining what could have been an awesome DVD???

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In support of the editing
Review: A number of reviwers have complained about the inclusion of interviews during the live set presented on this DVD. For some viewers however (myself included), this personal commentary from the band may be what really makes the disc worthwhile. The interviews frame the songs (which we've all heard before) in a way that brings a fresh new perspective to them Hearing the very human voices of the men who made this music seems to make the performance that much more meaningful.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Barely 3 stars ... Cut the damn interviews
Review: I loved the picture quality and the dolby surround sound that this DVD offered. The sound is very well detailed as at captures all the trills and bends on Iommi's guitar which is something I did not hear to well on the music CD version. Now to the negative part, what is up with the producers cutting in with interviews during the concert performances? I was ready to kick the screen in when they cut it on Black Sabbaths performance of Black Sabbath (the song).Why couldn't that be done before or after the performance? is the label so hard up to sell the Reunion CD that they chose to diminish the video concert performances on this DVD? thats the only reason I can think of as to why they chose to bastardize these peformances. This deserved to be a fully unedited concert DVD since Sabbath being the mega band that had'nt released once before. These record labels are some greedy mofo's for intentionally trying to screw loyal fans in this way.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Attention: Producers and Buyers of Concert dvds.
Review: Dvd concerts are a wonderful way to entertain friends. It doesn't matter if you are watching them on a television set with one speaker or a full blown, dedicated, high end home theater system. However be sure of what you are buying. Read the reviews. The single worst thing a producer can do to an otherwise quality performance like "The Last Supper" is to interrupt the show with interviews and such. Extras are wonderful but the appropriate place for them is in the "extras" area of the disk NOT in between songs or worst yet in the middle of a song. Too bad for this title..... "The Last Supper" Black Sabbath was in peak form and sounded great. If you want a live-like concert experience, buy something else.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This Needs Re-Released!
Review: The performance is great, but they should NOT interrupt the concert with the interviews! They could have easily put them as a separate option to watch apart from the concert itself! That and they blended footage from 6 concerts together, which you begin to wonder how Ozzy can throw 3 buckets of water on the crowd, wearing 3 different outfits, in the span of 30 seconds.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great show, but the interviews nearly ruin it.
Review: Based purely on the performance itself, this DVD deserves 5 stars. The performance is a lively one (especially coming from 4 guys in their 50's), and the sound quality is great. All of Sabbath's greatest songs are included here, and they sound as good as ever. Just a great show. However...

Included along with this is an interview with the band. The interview is interesting, and very funny, but it is broken into several small pieces that pop up sporadically throughout the show. If you just want to watch the concert, and not the interview, this can be very annoying. Worse yet, they actually chopped off the entire last verse of "Electric Funeral" because of this. They should have included the interview as a special feature, so that you could watch them separately.

But other than that, this is quite a good package. The band is in top form. Ozzy said it best himself when he said, "We can still outrock most of these young punks anyday". I believe him. The musicianship is excellent (Geezer Butler and Bill Ward are severely underrated), and the songs rock hard. If you can put up with the constant interruptions, this is totally worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: back from hell
Review: Come on now!. We have all heard these songs before! I admitt it is exciting to hear the original Sabbath playing these tunes again but its just as equally exciting to hear them "finally" talking about how these tunes came about! Just revel in both!. Buy the cd if you just want to hear the music for gods sake people!. The interviews are "not" an intrusion but a treat!
