Disco de Black Sabbath: “Last Supper”

I've listened to Sabbath for most of my life, and was initially pleased to get the opportunity to see a video of the long-awaited reunion of the original lineup. But whoever was responsible for editing this video left MUCH to be desired.

Do not expect this to be a live rendition of the REUNION CD's that this concert was supposed to mirror. The song "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" was omitted entirely, and many of the other songs have interviews with band members edited in the middle of the tracks. You will NOT see an uninterrupted concert of the show.

This DVD is obviously a "splicing" of at least two different Sabbath shows, because there are songs where Ozzy is wearing a shirt or else shirtless in the same song. It can be a little unnerving. And, . . . I appreciate crowd participation as much as the next guy, but Ozzy's constantly enticing the crowd to "go f***ing crazy" gets irritating FAST - this video and the REUNION CD would have been better without all of the profanities.

This otherwise might have been a great concert to watch, with maybe a second disc with all the interviews and bonus features. Buy this USED if you are a die-hard Sabbath fan, but I don't recommend that the casual listener invest much into it.

Amazing live performance shot down by some lousy editing where most of the the songs are interrupted by interview with the band members.

The band seems to be in real fine form. It's a real shame that we get to see only snippets. Why would the producers do such a thing, as this is a live presentation of concerts and not a biography of Black Sabbath.

This DVD is like a tease act. I'm waiting for the day when these concerts will be released without the interupptions.That will be a great BUY!

Black Sabbath is one of the greatest heavy rock bands of all times, if not the greatest. When I saw this DVD at the music store, I was thrilled to learn that there was a live concert of their reunion so I bought it right away thinking I was going to see a great live concert. It started great but I was quickly disappointed when in the middle of the first song the music died because it was interrupted by interviews of the band members. Why would anyone think it's cool to be listening to a great song and all of a sudden stop the music to hear someone talking? All the interruptions in the middle of the songs ruined the pleasure of anjoying the music. I have to say this is a very disappointing DVD but I still give it 2 stars because I did enjoy the parts where there is no talking.

The real Black Sabbath together again! Doing some of their classic material. Good sound and video, decent DVD transfer.

Unexpected plus: It is wide-screen format instead of full screen.

Unexpected minus: There are points where songs are interupted or faded into the background while bandmembers talk about them. This is totally unnecessary, they could have easily kept the songs intact by making the video several minutes longer or by better using available DVD technology. This was annoying the first time and will be more so in repeat viewings. You may want to rent it first to see how much this might bother you.

What should and could have been a 5 star video. However, the producers failed to properly take repeat viewing into consideration.

I am a fan of the group. I started playing guitar just to learn every Sabbath's song(I know all of them). I was in one of the latest concerts at London. When I discovered that the band realeased a DVD based on that tour thought that I should buy it. So I bought it. The live Sabbath Performance is great, you can clearly hear all the instruments but the sound isn't perfect(as in Metallica's latest Cunning Stunts). The video quality is good but also not perfect. The songlist is the best part of the DVD, even anti-Metal listeners liked that DVD. The angles used can give you a perfect view of the scene but no multi-angle support is provided. As other reviewers mentioned the dialog in the middle of the songs is something very annoying. That fact shows that the producer just copy the VHS version to a DVD so he put the interview, which is very interesting, in the middle of the songs. In any way that DVD is good and it must be bought by any hard music fan, I rated only with 4 stars because I wanted to show that in techical terms there are better productions but if you are interested only in the music you hear then you will hear the ultimate hard music collection by the fathers of Heavy Metal.
