Bill Ward had just delivered a downer to the 25,000 members of Ozzfest Nation, some of whom had been at the annual metal-thon all day – Ozzy would not be performing with BLACK SABBATH at the show due to an attack of bronchitis.
Enter ROB HALFORD, a true original metal messiah who had helped his pals out back in ’92 when Dio failed to show at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa. Once again, Halford came to the rescue and also brought a full tank of authenticity to the event being more than just familiar with the SABBATH songbook.
This historic show joining two Metal legends – BLACK SABBATH w/ ROB HALFORD of Judas Priest – has been released on CD by Japanese specialized label Alive The Live!, with a fine sound quality.
