    It's happening throughout today with many legacy acts taking part. I'm quite adapt at finding sports streaming sites but have no idea how to find concerts. I know this entire event is being streamed live via Pay As You View so I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to find an alternative stream for it. I doubt it will be free to air in any country so a VPN probably isn't going to help much.

    I think the concert will be on TV at some point, but first, there's a lot of money to be made.
    Maybe someone will record the concert and post it online in a few days.

    Black Sabbath’s final concert, "Back to the Beginning," is taking place today, July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK, and features the original lineup—Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—alongside major acts like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, and others. The event is indeed being streamed globally via pay-per-view, with tickets priced at around $29.99 USD (£24.99 GBP or $50 NZD, depending on region) through the official site backtothebeginning.com, and includes 48-hour on-demand access post-event.

    I noticed the full gig in 1080p (26GB) on the Russian torrent site. There is also a Scene Release 720p version on a few non torrent sites.

    If you get the torrent make sure it has PROPER in the title, the first one I got was very annoying, it chopped a couple of minutes off at exactly the point Sabbath arrived on stage. I got the Proper version and it was fine. It was 25Gb.

    A really enjoyable show all in all, and it's quite incredible that they got something like $180 million for charities.

    "Black Sabbath Back To The Beginning PPV REAL PROPER 2025-07-05 1080p AVCHD-SC-SDH.mp4"

    There's a lot of video format stuff in that title and as i had a choice between this and others I asked AI which was the better video format and it chose this one.

    The original live broadcast was 10 hours long but included a 30 minute countdown and a few repeated performances. There was also sound drop out during the Alice In Chains set.
    The version I've seen is 8 hours and 34 minutes taken from the VOD version. It also has chapters.

    The PROPER version I mentioned is 9:31.10 and 25Gb.

    Also, the torrent is a very fast download, it took about an hour for me.
