Editorial Review:
There was something genuinely heartwarming about the decision by Black Sabbath's founding members to take to the road again in 1999. The fractious intra-band relationships that have characterized Black Sabbath's long career were a major inspiration for the writers of This Is Spinal Tap, and so the Sabs' reunion created something pleasingly symmetrical and evocative of the closing scenes of that fine film.
The concert footage was taken from six of the concerts on that tour. It is conclusive proof that the original quartet of Osbourne, Iommi, Butler, and Ward (or, in Osbourne's words, "four dickheads from Aston, near Birmingham") were every bit as exuberantly juvenile a rock & roll band in their early 50s as their late teens. Also included is a sketchy biography and interviews with the band by Henry Rollins, one of the countless contemporary musicians influenced by Sabbath. It's a nice idea, but the only real weakness of the package is that Ozzy is never granted time to wheel out any of his peerless reserve of grotesque rock & roll anecdotes. Nevertheless, the already formidable case for Osbourne's knighthood is strengthened further. --Andrew Mueller, Amazon.co.uk
The Last Supper is the first-ever live DVD from legendary Metal superstars Black Sabbath, which includes all of Sabbath's biggest hits performed live. The Last Supper features all of the original members of Black Sabbath--Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward--on their sold-out 1999 Reunion tour, and includes behind-the-scenes interviews and tour photos. 120 minutes.

Rating:  - Lost opportunity
This was the most disappoint DVD I ever see. Who's the responsable for this crazy edition??? They cut all the songs with interviews. Unbelievable! Someday they will release this show WITHOUT the INTERVIEWS?? I rope so...
Rating:  - More of a Documentary than true concert footage!
I will admit that I was a little surprised to find out that most of the talking with the band members throughout this DVD was done during the tunage parts. However unlike most, I really liked the way this DVD flows together. Yes the music is interrupted in mid song from time to time, but the way they've done it, truly ads something to the very tune that's being presented at that time. To hear these guys sitting back and discussing what they were/are thinking about each song is truly amazing. To ... Read More
Rating: - Black Sabbath
This DVD is great. Nice camera angles. The only thing that I didn't like is that they interrupt some of Tony's greatest solo's with clips of the band talking. If you ask me, and who am I, they should have put those clips inbetween the songs...that way we could enjoy the whole freakin jam. Other then that...great DVD. Get it!
Rating:  - What on Earth was going through their minds?!!!
1999 and here we were at last with the first offical Black Sabbath DVD. And tiwh the classic line-up. And with the band with top form. And with a great set list. BUt everything was ruined. Why?
For the first time in the history of DVDs containing live performances, ALL the songs are interrupted by an interview right in the middle! That's it! You heard me well! INtead of putting the interviews as a bonus feature, they inserted them inside the concert... Clever editors...
Rating: - Great Band- Bad DVD
Don't expect to enjoy a Black Sabbath concert. Almost every song is interrupted (in most cases at a critical point in the song) by interviews with band members. Why not put the interviews at the end or on a bonus DVD? When you're actually listening to the concert, the band is raging but the interviews (although somewhat interesting and funny) totally ruin the mood. On the positive, Ozzy sounds great, remembers the words, and is into the performances. Unfortunately he reminds me of an elderly ... Read More
