Ozzy was awesome!!!!! He has actually lost some weight and is in better shape. He really has a lot of energy considering his age and what he has put his body through over the years.
His performance was great, the only time he really showed his age is when he shamble-ran across the stage -that is when he looked like he does in the tv show the rest of the time he looked great!
The band was great
-Jason Neusted (sp?) formerly of Metallica fame was the base player so it was kind of neat to see him live.
They played a mix of old and new songs and played some really old Sabbath (circa 1970) and stuff like War Pigs, Fairies Wear Boots and of course Iron Man and Paranoid. They actually played for an extra 1/2 hour too
Apparently he was staying in town for a few days and walked around the downtown core/Byward market with his entourage,
hung out at Starbucks about 2 blocks from my work, graciously spoke with fans and signed autographs and handed out some $20 bills to some homeless people.
He was quoted in the local papers as saying how nice our city was and it was like in olden times (what
guess he meant the architecture of the old buildings and the open air market downtown etc.
)and how he was really enjoying his time here. Yay! Ottawa gets the Ozzy seal of approval!!
