“Back to the Beginning,” Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance, is recorded in perfect stereo soundboard recording, featuring the label’s original remastering! Experience stunning, high-quality sound throughout! On July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, the curtains fell on the rock legend’s long-awaited retirement concert, “Back to the Begging.” This event could be considered the final OZZFEST. It featured a lineup that needs no introduction, spanning 10 hours. This final performance, featuring Ozzy and Black Sabbath in their original lineup, concludes this monumental event, and is fully recorded on CD from the superb stereo soundboard master. Bonus tracks include “The Ultimate Sin” and “Shot in the Dark,” featuring lead guitar by Jake E. Lee, who also performed at the event during the day. This album, remastered exclusively by the label, delivers a truly definitive soundscape of this unforgettable night. Despite his recent struggles with Parkinson’s disease, Madman Ozzy delivered a captivating and astounding performance on this final stage. The final performance of Black Sabbath, featuring the original four-piece lineup of Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and Bill, as well as the Ozzy Osbourne Band with guitarist Zakk Wylde, is a moving tribute to the end of hard rock history dating back to the 1960s. Ozzy passed away just over two weeks after the “Back to the Beginning” event. Perhaps he was keeping his life burning to complete his final task? This exquisite live recording is enough to make you think so. You have many nicknames, such as “Prince of Darkness” and “King of Metal,” but the nickname “Mad Man” is most fitting for you.
