Face it, friends: no Metal band has ever - or will ever - come close to Black Sabbath in their prime. And this here is as good as it gets.
The late, great Ozzy may have become a shadow of himself, but in his heyday he was an amazing frontman. He may not have had the slickness of a Freddie Mercury or the authority of a Rob Halford, but Ozzy WAS his audience. He channeled their energy and fed it back to them, creating a perpetual vortex loop.
Don't argue - it's scientific.
This performance of "Children of the Grave" is from the 1974 California Jam. God, I wish I could build a time machine and go back there to stay. When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was move out to Southern California, live on the beach, and make out with Tatum O'Neal all day. Was that really too much to ask?

I was a total beach bum as it was, but Nantasket Beach could never be as glamorous as Santa Monica. Well, it probably is now.
But then again, so much has changed, hasn't it?
