In honor of Easter (hail Satan) I thought I’d post the only live footage I could find of my favorite Black Sabbath song “Sweet Leaf.” The video is from the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989 where Ozzy performed alongside Skid Row, Cinderella, Mötley Crüe, and lots of other hair metal bands you hear a lot if you listen to classic rock radio. Everything I’ve read about the concert is pretty vague on what exactly it benefited besides “world peace” and “Russia’s War on Drugs;” kind of ironic that they would ask a bunch of violent, former/current drug addicts to be the entertainment. I guess their marketing strategy worked considering there were over 120,000 people in attendance, in a stadium with a capacity of 100,000—those Russians, they never follow the rules. Anyway, enjoy the Prince of Darkness and one of the best metal songs of all time.
