Forgot to mention merch.

There was only one tour shirt (with all three dates on) and it kind of sucked. The front was a circle skull & cross-bones kind of thing, with the dates in a circle on the back. Didn't see anyone buy it.

The event shirt, which most people bought, was the same design as the poster (thankfully). There was a girls version of this, which was the only girls shirt available. Kind of disappointed that there wasn't a poster too.

Then there was a generic shirt which had the purple logo from Master of Reality small on the left breast, and a design on the back based on Sweet Leaf.

There might have been one other generic shirt, but I was mostly concerned with the event shirt. There was also a hoodie, which I didn't really get a good look at, and a baseball cap with the purple logo on the front.

I guess each of the three shows will have an event shirt.

Dude, he's like fucking 64, cut the man some slack. And I think he sound fine to me, sure he doesn't sound stellar like the way he did when it was recorded in 1972 but cmon my man it's 2012. Also....if i'm not mistaken, this was the bands first time playing the song since 1973.

There are many singers that are passed Ozzy's age that sound amazing. Age isn't an excuse in this case.

He was trolling. In the video EVERYTHING sounds terrible. You can barely make out what's Ozzy, what's the crowd, and what's noise in the shitty microphone.

Successful trolling, it seems.

Most people don't have my patience That's why they pay full price for new albums when they're released, and I get them for a third of that a few months later

No, you can just tell he's bouncing all over the place out of key. I don't expect a fantastic performance out of artists that have been around for more than 40 years, but damn if you can't execute your lines with some competence it's probably time to hang it up.
I've gotta give them a hand for pulling out some great songs instead of going through the standard set again but not doing them well puts a damper on things.

Except they did and you can't tell shit from those videos.
