Godspeed, Ozzy, and thank you for never letting Rock and Roll die.
"Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love and forget how to hate."

I was fortunate to see Ozzy a few more times over the years, including the last Black Sabbath tour ("The End"). I watched the amazing "Back to the Beginning" tribute and farewell concert live stream a couple of weeks ago. Despite his physical limitations, Ozzy seemed so vibrant at that last concert.

My favorite song was easily, 'You Can't Kill Rock and Roll.' ( music.youtube.com/watch?v=TGgE... )

I always thought of Ozzy as a heavy metal hippie. Really listen to songs like Crazy Train, Revelation (Mother Earth), War Pigs, Killer of Giants and more, and you'll see what I mean. I even wrote a college paper comparing Ozzy's song 'Thank God for the Bomb' to Dr. Seuss's "The Butter Battle Book."

Ozzy Osbourne was my sixth concert; my buddy Rich and I were juniors in high school. The tour was for the Bark at the Moon album, Motley Crue opened, and we still talk about the impatient crowd chanting, "Open the f***ing doors!" before the show.

I've been following Marc Scibilia since a living room concert in 2012, and I was so thrilled to see a packed crowd for him at The Bottleneck! I had a blast alternating between snapping photographs and just getting lost in his songs and energy.

Blood Worm Moon from Overland Park, Ks - 03.14.2025

Lunar eclipse captured with only a 28-200mm lens -- handheld because I overslept and didn't prepare my tripod. First image is cropped in, 2nd image is more full-frame.

Only a handful of QUALITY concerts that I got to photograph in 2024. Here's hoping to get even more opportunities in the coming year, and THANK YOU to all who made it possible for me to capture these shows!
