Just thought I'd give my take on this for anyone interested. Concert was recorded this past spring at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. Tommy Clufetos seems to fit right in on drums, but the main attraction is of course Geezer, Tony and Ozzy. They sprinkled 4 songs from their new "13" album into the 16 song set, here is the list:
War Pigs
Into The Void
Loner
Snowblind
Black Sabbath
Behind The Wall Of Sleep
N.I.B.
Methademic
Fairies Wear Boots
Symptom Of The Universe
Iron Man
End Of The Beginning
Children Of The Grave
God Is Dead?
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Intro)/
Paranoid
Considering their ages, I thought they played great! Ozzy is, well, Ozzy. The shuffling across the stage is kinda painful to watch, but I thought his vocals were okay taking his mileage into account. He has a bit of a potty mouth still, and on a personal note as much as I love a well planted F bomb, his over use of the word is a little tedious. For me, the price of admission is to hear Iommi play. Funny how easy it is to remember his guitar licks on a few songs I hadn't heard in years.
Video and audio are both great I thought, this thing is very well recorded, don't think anyone will be disappointed there. Audio options are LPCM 2.0, DTS-MA 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1. If you're a Sabbath fan don't think you'll regret picking this up. Just an FYI here, there are 2 ways to buy this on blu-ray, the BD stand alone and the BD + CD. Around here the BD + CD seemed to be more prevalent but was $10 more, I had to search a bit to find the BD stand alone that I wanted. A great Christmas gift for that one in your life who still has their bedroom painted black

I think Ozzy used the F bombs to much on the Reunion tour CD they did about ten years ago and rarely listen to it for that reason. I will get this though as I have it all. Where did you find the standalone?Home Theater

I'm in Canada, picked up the stand alone at a place called London Drugs. I see Amazon.ca has them both, $29.99 for both, $19.99 for just BD. Strangely, Amazon.com just lists one version for $29 that I could see, I have to think that's for both.
