Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Black Sabbath Interrupted
Review: The only thing about this DVD that really bums me out, is that the interviews are in the middle of the songs. I think to be able to enjoy a live concert, the songs should not be interrupted by interviews and stuff that should be in the special features part of the DVD.I hope if they release another live DVD, the concert will be the main focus.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The band Black Sabbath gets 5 stars
Review: Like every other reviewer here, I was very upset about the way this DVD was compiled. Just like in 'The Black Sabbath Story Vol II', there are interviews right in the middle of performances. Either they cut to the interview room and cut the music out, or the cameras stay on the band and the music is dubbed over with talking. That is the worst example of how not to make a concert video. Espescially not for a veteran band like Black Sabbath who's music stands on it's own and does not need weak spots covered and filled in with interviews.

However, the performance for what you do see is outstanding. The ORIGINAL Sabbath, including Bill Ward, needs to be documented for rock n roll history.

One pet peeve I have is that the song Iron Man is always treated like a red-headed step child. Either Black Sabbath turns it into a medly with 'Children of the Grave' or the shorten it. I thought I could finally hear and see a live performance of Iron Man in its entirty, but alas, I get to hear interviews instead.

If you've never seen the original Sabbath, you need to get this to see what a great drummer Bill really is.

The interviews are insightful, interesting, and funny, but it should have been totally separate from the show.

Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE,
Review: What happening to THE PEOPLE WHO EDITED AND COMPILED THIS JOKE OF A DVD!!!!!!!. What up? , this is A VERY UNWATCHABLE video. The interview segments are interesting, but WHY aren't the VIDEO'S SHOWN in thier FULL LENGTH. They put the inteview at the middle of each concert's video (tell me why why?).

This is a DVD that I bought, watched once and wasted. SAVE YOUR MONEY please; someone else will buy it and probably be severly dissapointed like.

Summary: What a let down
Review: I'm forty seven years old and have been a Black Sabbath fan since i was a teenager and i was really waiting for a live CONCERT DVD of Black Sabbath.The highligh of this dvd is that Ozzy and the band are in fine form the lowlight is that you only get about five full songs every other songs is cut by interviews.I wonder if the members of Black Sabbath have watched this dvd and thought to themselves is this how we payback our loyal fans who have followed us over all these years.
Surely they must still have the full concert footage why not issue that.Be warned this is the type of dvd you might watch once or twice, when you continually hear rock stars talk about the old days it reminds me of Dell in Waynes World 2 you start hearing the same things over and over again whether on dvd ,tv or in print.

Summary: Pissed off Sabbath fan!!
Review: Well - I just purchased this DVD..I thought it was a concert DVD of one of the best hard rocking bands from the 70's. The fore-fathers of doom and gloom. Unfortunately what I got was a complete waste of money!!! First off - let me say this...I love Black Sabbath...got all their albums..seen them second row..yadda yadda yadda. So, when I saw this DVD - I was excited because now I can own the reunion concert. NOT SO FAST. As other people have reviewed this...which I should have read before purchasing...it is parts of it that are live concert footage...but it cuts away to some lame interview snippet in the MIDDLE OF THE SONG!! TYPICALLY OVER TONY'S GUITAR SOLOS!!! UUUGGGG!!! This sucks!!! I was sooo disappointed by this. Don't get me wrong..I want to hear what they say in interviews...but as a separate track. Or give me the option to eliminate from the live footage...so I can watch the band!! I tried going through the entire disc to find a way to suppress the stupid interview clips during each song!!! During Sweet Leaf...I mean they cut it after a few minutes of the song...and never return to it. The clips that come in on Sweet leaf are lame...they talk about it being about smoking pot!!! Duh...like we didn't know that already. Who cares!! We want to see the live concert. All I can say is...for whoever made this disc...you blew it...BIG TIME!!! You should release the entire concert on it's own...no interruptions...no lame interview clips on top of the footage. Stay away from this DVD. The only reason I gave it two stars is that there is some other stuff on the disc that is pretty cool...and even the small clips of the live concert footage are great..and sound great. I just wish they could have done this right. What were they thinking here??? Oh well...I know there are other DVD's from this band...perhaps I'll try one of those. I'm just frustrated at how they ruined this DVD. They totally could have had the interview as a separate section on this DVD. Oh well!!!

Summary: They were great concerts...BUT
Review: The concerts were really great. Black Sabbath was in top form. Ozzy's vocals fantastic. The interviews were interesting and funny. But whom ever put the DVD together really screwed it up bad. You see and hear the beginning of a song then it changes to an interview, goes back for the ending of the song then does the same in EVERY SINGLE SONG!!! It would have been great if they had the concert by its self and the interviews either before or after it. Or seperate as a special feature. Then I would have given it 5 stars. As it is my advice is don't bother it's not worth the money.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: $14.95 down the drain...
Review: Beware, the morons who edited this thing have slapped interview footage right in the middle of the songs, thereby ruining what could have been one great musical document. I have no idea who directed this thing but he should go back to director's school, as if the above wasn't enough harm done they pan out to the audience more than Tonni Iommi changes chords, who wants to look at a bunch of drugged up, drunken kids? We want to see the band, the band! If the people at Sony want to slap in an interview in any future video they should do it at the end of the concert not in the middle of it.

Review:

I was so dissappointed that i didn't even watch the whole thing. i got half way through and then got the disc out and watch local news! now before buying the dvd, i've read all of the reviews here. yes, i should have not bought the dvd according to the reviews here, but hey....there's only one way to find out. with the price of $12, i can afford to throw that money away.

i hated it! I really did.

I also didn't really like Black sabbath that much. their style of music is boring to me. I've heard a lot of people saying that tony iommi is one ofhte best guitarist out there. I feel that that is bull crap! i can play like he does! his style is so basic. i thought he was gonna be another steve vai, satriani, or ynwie, but no, this guy runs through the basics all day long!

black sabbath songs are crap! hell....i'm not into any bands now except zepplin, the datsun, velvet revolver. even they are getting boring! I want something new! come one you damn music industries!!!! pump out some more artists. the hell with britney spears and bling bling on mtv!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Content, Poorly Edited
Review: The Material here is horribly edited, but it is GREAT material.
The concert material is superb, but as noted, it is badly chopped. It comes across as a Do-Ro edit, the kind that plagued Queen releases, however, Brian May took the helm of the DVD edit of some items, and fixed Do-Ro's mess.
I have high hopes that a similar fix could be done for last supper.
If you REALLY want to see what the concerts were like in this tour, try and find a tape from late 1999 of a Sab concert in a London club; it does not have the same stage presence ( like Sab coming up out of the stage on part of the tour), but it gives a great look at the band in action, with lots of humour and plenty of cool guitar work.
