August 30. The year of our dark lord 2013. Birmingham's omnipotent Black Sabbath rocked forth at the arena the elders once knew by the long-forgotten name "Irvine Meadows". We got lucky and blended in with an old friend on the group's flight crew, granting access to a bird's eye view of the band from the side of the stage. Here's a video of Ozzy, Geezer, Tony, and touring drummer Tommy Clufetos (one of the most insane, hardest hitters we've ever seen) playing their eponymous and evil classic, "Black Sabbath." Look close and you may see some head-banging from some familiar faces that were there. Like Shep Fairey and Sen Dog, whose group, Cypress Hill, has been known to throw some wicked Sabbath samples into their cuts.
