Ozzy Osbourne performed his first solo show since the completion of Black Sabbath’s farewell tour on July 14 at the Rock USA Festival in Oshkosh, WI, and video from the event has surfaced online.
Osbourne’s 16-song set mixed solo hits and fan favorites, including the first appearances of the “No More Tears” track, “Desire”, since 2003 and the “Diary Of A Madman” tune, “Believer”, since 2008.
The rocker also delivered four Sabbath songs, including “Fairies Wear Boots,” “War Pigs,” “Iron Man” and “Paranoid.”
Osbourne’s 2017 shows see the return of guitarist Zakk Wylde to the lineup alongside longtime members Blasko on bass, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman.
