Dear Black Sabbath, this DVD was great. The interviews interwoven into the concert were a bit of a distraction.
This had the potential to be a nice document of the reunited Ozzy-era Black Sabbath, with solid concert footage, and some insightful interviews. However, the mixing of the two ruins both.
This movie would have been alright, indeed probably excellent, if the directors would have left the interviews and the concert footage separate. "Into the Void" is a great song, and I hate how it is cut off at the best part to go to an mumbling interview with Ozzy Osbourne.
Just about every commentator has mentioned the way that some of the interview footage is superposed over the concert footage in places. This is true, and is the biggest flaw of this film.
Black Sabbath were pioneers on the hard rock/metal scene if only for their hard edged riffs and solos drenched in the darkness of thought. Iommi, Ward, Butler and Ozzy himself return to the concert stage and this footage takes place over the stretch of concerts they had on the Ozzfest tour.
The Last Supper DVD is a great concert of the great Black Sabbath songs. However, most of the songs can't be enjoyed because they are stepped on, the narration by the band interrupts the songs.
