Black Sabbath’s 2013 Melbourne Concert Film ‘Live… Gathered In Their Masses’ is streaming on YouTube for Free
Missed out on tickets to Ozzy’s farewell show? Here’s the next best thing.
Over the weekend Black Sabbath’s famous concert film, Live… Gathered in their Masses, was uploaded to YouTube for free by American concert-streaming platform Qello.
The one-hour and forty-minute concert was shot when Sabbath performed at Rod Laver Arena in 2013 as part of their Australian tour, the band’s first in over four decades.
Released on CD, DVD and Blu-Ray, the setlist is stacked with classic Sabbath tunes, including ‘War Pigs’, ‘Iron Man’, ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’ and Paranoid, along with several tracks from the band’s final album, 13, which came out the same year as the tour.
The release of Live… Gathered in their Masses follows the recent news that the original Black Sabbath lineup of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward are reuniting for the first time in two decades for one final concert this July.

Dubbed the Back to the Beginning concert, the charity gig celebrates Ozzy’s career and his final live appearance. All proceeds from ticket sales go to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice.
“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning….time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Ozzy Osbourne said in a statement. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”
Unsurprisingly tickets sold out for the concert at Villa Park in Birmingham on Saturday, July 5, in minutes. Along with Black Sabbath, the lineup for the one-off concert features a who's who of heavy metal greats, with Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Alice in Chains, Pantera and more performing on the day.
There’s also a slew of vocalists appearing on the day also, including Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), Jonathan Davis (Korn) and Wolfgang Van Halen.
