Summary: Song cutting (Bad idea)
Review: I agree with the reviews I have read, cutting into the songs with those stupid interviews was a bad idea maybe the people in charge will see how ticked-off the fans are and re-call this DVD and re-work it. The person who decided to cut into the songs with these interiews should lose his/her job or at least have their head examined

Summary: Too much fogey footage
Review: Sorry, no disrespect intended. Black Sabbath Rule! This dvdunfortunately does not.The tracks are performed really well but itstotally ruined, i think, by the songs cutting off half way through andslapped straight to an interview. This was silly. If you dont mindseeing 2 minutes of killer songs like Spiral Architect, or maybe aminute of Iron Man, go ahead. Otherwise, pick up a bootleg from ebay -you'll get more enjoyment out of it! The intereview are pretty lame- nothing that hasnt been said before. Its unfortunate that the onlygood stuff on this dvd is marred by uninteresting, annoying andpointlessly placed interview footage. This should be gathering dustfor the next few years...

Summary: Editing Limits the quality of this one
Review: Set list is good. Performances are good. Guys are in relatively good shape. Fair to decent sound and picture, although I agree that the image of Geezer Butler's furious fingers on the bass is not always matched by crisp sound. Have to reiterate what most of the other reviews have mentioned, that the interview segments are very intrusive. I bought this thinking that I could listent to the disc with or without paying attention to the TV, that it would be as good as the cd with the bonus being that there was video to go along with it. I suppose the recording company(s) would rather you have to buy this AND the cd to get what you want. Is it any wonder mp3s and such are so popular, when you rook the fans/buyers like this? Utilizing available DVD features (alternate audio track, etc) or even some reasonable editing, this could have been a 4.5 star product. As it is, I don't think it warrants more than a 3. I got this at a brick and mortar store, as a semi-impulse buy. I will check the Amazon reviews of the other things I bought (Crimson, BOC, already opened Who: IOW) before breaking the shrinkwrap on those. -A

Summary: Catch Black Sabbath live for the last time
Review: This DVD is a must for Sabbath and Ozzy fans, concert footage has excellent sound and video. I would give this title five stars if they hadn't included interviews with band members over the concert footage. It's distracting and annoying, like people talking loudly around you while you're trying to enjoy the show.

Summary: Concert or interview?
Review: I was happy when this DVD has been published and happier when I bought it. Arriving home, my first moves have been: switch on Tv, Amplifier, DVD player and Subwoofer. I sit on the sofa, at the center of a 5+1 speakers crossfire and the concert starts with War Pigs....I raise the volume and enjoy the Sabbath classic sound, at last! The magic ends when, in the middle of the song, a (brief, but breaking) interview starts. I think that such an important reunion has an interesting background, so I listen to the interview. The next song starts, interrupted by another spoken insert. So, I adjust the volume and explore the DVD: every song is mutilated by interviews! Why inserting them in the live songs? DVD carry a huge information amount: there is room for hours and hours of footage....I would have surely watched a full interview, after watching the concert. This DVD is, in my opinion, really disappointing! Sergio

Summary: All hail Black Sabbath--but get them a better editor!
Review: "The Last Supper" is a welcome DVD to add to the library of any major Sabbath or Ozzy fan--but as the other reviews below will attest, it is quite frustrating to have interviews cut into the end (or in some cases, the middle) of every song. Any Black Sabbath fan worth his salt knows they were once called Earth, that Tony Iommi is missing parts of two fingertips, that alcohol and drugs drove them apart in the late 1970s, and that at times it is like a mysterious "fifth member" is helping them write songs. It would have been much better to let the music do the talking--and then have full-length interviews with each member as a bonus feature. That said, it is great to get the reunited Sabbath doing many of their heavy masterpieces with excellent camera work and sound (although the song selection contains nothing from their two finest Ozzy-era releases, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "Sabotage," quite possibly because Ozzy's voice is somewhat shot). Some of the backstage stuff is fun (Ozzy and Tony doing a run-through of "Paranoid," with Tony playing through a small practice amp and sounding almost like any 16-year-old kid who just learned how to play the riff). Having Henry Rollins do the Epic interview was a cool touch as well. Now we just need to have someone release the 1978 "Never Say Die" or 1974 "California Jam" concert on DVD. Until then, rock out with "The Last Supper."

Summary: ARE YOU READY?
Review: $19.00/Bring in the PA,/plug it into the VCR/invite 10 people/cranke it up to 11! /light a joint/drinking JackDaniels! Sound is awesome! Tony never sounded better! THEN? Right in the middle of the song!{:-/**? Well,let's ask. Who doesn't know about Tonys fingers? Who doesn't know they were called Earth before? But,why tell us right smack dab in the middle of some of the greatist rock&roll ever? I saw SABBATH 5 times in the 70's. By 79' they just sucked horribly(live,that is)Ozzys vocals are strong.(but with filters and processing junk they put in PA systems,they can make even me and you sound good.(people like David Coverdale appreciate that fact.) Pretty generic song list,the cd has better. Just hated turning the volume up and down all the time! You would think they would know that! BUT IT IS SABBATH,AND THEY ARE GREAT! SO GET IT!

Summary: Embarassing
Review: Yes, all the songs are interrupted by LAME interviews. Fans really need to hear for the 1000th time how they came up with the bands name , how Tony lost his fingertips and other trivia that has been covered in every interview they've ever done. With a couple of exceptions(Dirty Women,Spiral Architect) the set list is the same old, tired one that is on every live album and are the same songs Ozzy and Sabbath have been performing live forever, BORING. Don't believe what the other Ozzy apologists are saying in their reviews, Ozzy's singing in the DVD is embarrassingly BAD. Note to Ozzy: please retire now, your voice is beyond shot. There are no studio engineers to fix Ozzy's voice when performing live and you get to suffer through every missed note. It gets worse. You'll notice that Ozzy can't remember the lyrics to his own songs and just slurs out some nonsense when he can't remember, despite the fact that he has a TelePrompTer in front of him onstage. Maybe he needs to wear his glasses on stage so he can read it, or get some contact lenses. The band sounds like they are playing ok but it sounds like it was all recorded at a super-loud volume level inside an echoey arena which doesn't sound so good acoustically. I'm a huge Sabbath fan but I watched this DVD once before selling it, it was all I could take. Save your money for when they release that 1970 Paris concert on DVD(I wish).
