That album is great and will probably surprise alot of people who know their earlier stuff. Too bad that by the time they reunited Ozzy couldn’t sing those songs anymore. Sometimes they played Symptom of the Universe as an instrumental. I assume he couldn’t really sing that or Hole in the Sky anymore by that point. He had to sing Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in a lower register and cut out the last verse to manage that one. Reunion is still a great live album though. Ozzy sounds great on the songs he can still handle, and you can tell he loves being on stage and connecting the the audience.
