The day-long concert featured top rock musicians, with Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine) acting as musical director.
In his solo act, Ozzy Osbourne was spectacular: rising from beneath the stage on a giant bat-winged throne, opening the set with "I Don't Know" and "Mr. Crowley" from his debut album Blizzard Of Ozz (1980).
"It's so good to be on this fucking stage, you wouldn't think it. Let the madness begin!" Ozzy Osbourne exclaimed to the crowd.
Ozzy Osbourne went on to perform classics such as "Suicide Solution", the emotional ballad "Mama, I'm Coming Home" (1991), and of course "Crazy Train" - the iconic song that is always played before the kick-off of his favorite club match, Aston Villa.
