Black Sabbath’s classic lineup — Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward — staged a triumphant hometown reunion at Saturday's Back to the Beginning concert, delivering a four-song setlist that marked their first performance together in two decades. The godfathers of heavy metal began their set at Birmingham, England's Villa Park, appropriately, with the beloved “War Pigs.” From there, they revisited their self-titled debut album for the groovy, bass-heavy "N.I.B.," then went back to their sophomore album Paranoid for the one-two punch of "Iron Man" and "Paranoid." Other performers at the star-studded Back to the Beginning concert included Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Gojira, Alice in Chains and Lamb of God.
