Sabbath formed the year I was born, first song I learned on guitar was Sweet L3af, saw Ozzy in ‘82 just after the plane crash, countless Ozfest’s, 1998 reunion show, etc etc…..
I’ve seen a lot of fans talking about what band was uninvited, or who didn’t live up to the hype, or which band shouldn’t have been there…
I watched the entire show and, for me, the lifetime soundtrack was as touching and meaningful as a McCartney concert…
The only thing that I did expect, that didn’t happen – was that I fully thought we would see Lita Ford walk out with the double neck B.C. Rich and sing “Close My Eyes” either with Ozzy or someone else. After all it’s her highest charting single and the highest charting hit of Ozzy’s solo career. Such a monumental milestone. I’m not disappointed, just curiously puzzled as to why this was left out of the tribute. Perhaps because it was a Sabbath tribute more that just Ozzy solo
