BLACK SABBATH - Fan-Filmed Video From Chicago Show Online

Black Sabbath kicked off their The End Tour on January 20th at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, NE. On January 22nd the band performed in Chicago, IL at the United Center. Fan-filmed video is available below, the setlist on the night was as follows:

"Black Sabbath"
"Fairies Wear Boots"
"After Forever"
"Into the Void"
"Snowblind"
"War Pigs"
"Behind the Wall of Sleep"
"N.I.B."
"Hand of Doom"
"Rat Salad"
"Iron Man"
"God Is Dead?"
"Under The Sun / Every Day Comes And Goes"
"Dirty Women"
"Paranoid"
"Children Of The Grave

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler tells Rolling Stone that nothing is preventing the band from recording new music.

"There's nothing stopping us from doing another album after the tour,” says Butler. "We just couldn't possibly spend three years in the studio and then do a final tour," he says. Then he adds dryly, "We'll probably all be dead by then."

The band was discussing the possibility of another new record before The End Tour, but Butler was against the idea. “I was just being logical," the bassist says with a laugh. "At the time, we were given six months to write and record an album and I said, 'There's absolutely no way we can do it in six months.'" He laughs. "Then they came up with, 'Well, you can do a blues album,' you know, just eight 12-bar blues songs and that's it. It's like, 'No. This is Black Sabbath. It's not the Earth blues band anymore.' It was ridiculous."

Black Sabbath spent Monday (January 18th) rehearsing for the launch of their The End tour tonight in Omaha at the Century Link Center. Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne also took some time to speak with the media about the tour and the end of the band. MSN Video has posted KETV Omaha’s full unedited interview (7:22) with the trio at this location.

“It's going to be hard at the end to say ‘that's it’ but it has to end someday,” Iommi remarked. “But we're going to enjoy it until then. And given the fact that it's The End tour, we’ve dugout a lot of the classics we haven’t played in a long time.”

When asked if they ever reflect on the mark Black Sabbath will leave on music history Ozzy responded: “When you're on the inside looking out - and I know it's been going on and on for years - you don't really think about it. When we first began I thought this would be great for a couple years, but I had no idea that 40 odd years later, we would still be here. It’s mind-blowing. What a good idea that was.”

Black Sabbath have released the full video taking you behind the scenes of rehearsals for their final tour ever. Check it out below:

On the heels of their much-anticipated performances in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, Black Sabbath will end the epic journey they began nearly five decades ago with another run of North American dates in fall 2016. These shows will follow a mix of summer headlining and festival performances throughout Europe.

The second run of North American dates kicks off August 17th at Jones Beach Amphitheater in New York and includes stops at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles (where the band last performed a sold-out show on their wildly successful 13 world tour in 2014), Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Detroit, and Dallas, among others, before wrapping September 21st at AK-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix, AZ.

The massive 2016 world tour by the greatest Metal Band of all time marks The End for Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler as they close the final chapter in the final volume of the incredible Black Sabbath story with this tour. Black Sabbath's The End farewell tour promises to surpass all previous tours and will feature the band's most mesmerizing production ever. An updated video announcement can be found below.
