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!

Review: $19.00/Bring in the PA,/plug it into the VCR/invite 10 people/cranke it up to 11! /light a joint/drinking JackDaniels! Sound is awesome! Tony never sounded better! THEN? Right in the middle of the song!{:-/**? Well,let's ask. Who doesn't know about Tonys fingers? Who doesn't know they were called Earth before? But,why tell us right smack dab in the middle of some of the greatist rock&roll ever? I saw SABBATH 5 times in the 70's. By 79' they just sucked horribly(live,that is)Ozzys vocals are strong.(but with filters and processing junk they put in PA systems,they can make even me and you sound good.(people like David Coverdale appreciate that fact.) Pretty generic song list,the cd has better. Just hated turning the volume up and down all the time! You would think they would know that! BUT IT IS SABBATH,AND THEY ARE GREAT! SO GET IT!

Summary: All hail Black Sabbath--but get them a better editor!
Review: "The Last Supper" is a welcome DVD to add to the library of any major Sabbath or Ozzy fan--but as the other reviews below will attest, it is quite frustrating to have interviews cut into the end (or in some cases, the middle) of every song. Any Black Sabbath fan worth his salt knows they were once called Earth, that Tony Iommi is missing parts of two fingertips, that alcohol and drugs drove them apart in the late 1970s, and that at times it is like a mysterious "fifth member" is helping them write songs. It would have been much better to let the music do the talking--and then have full-length interviews with each member as a bonus feature.That said, it is great to get the reunited Sabbath doing many of their heavy masterpieces with excellent camera work and sound (although the song selection contains nothing from their two finest Ozzy-era releases, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "Sabotage," quite possibly because Ozzy's voice is somewhat shot). Some of the backstage stuff is fun (Ozzy and Tony doing a run-through of "Paranoid," with Tony playing through a small practice amp and sounding almost like any 16-year-old kid who just learned how to play the riff). Having Henry Rollins do the Epic interview was a cool touch as well. Now we just need to have someone release the 1978 "Never Say Die" or 1974 "California Jam" concert on DVD. Until then, rock out with "The Last Supper."

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.

Summary: Huge Disappointment
Review: As with most of the other reviews I was really disappointed in the interruptions of the songs by interviews. This is already destined for the next garage sale. I am disappointed since I really am a fan (still have their vinyl albums) and was hoping for great undiluted music. Don't buy it.

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.

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.

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!

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.
