Children of the Grave - April 1974






Black Sabbath plays "Children of the Grave" under a giant rainbow.
Ozzy removes his purple-fringed shirt and throws it to the crowd.
Flashing the peace sign, he claps and stomps his silver platform boots.
Tony, Bill, and Geezer look sharp and show us how it's done.

I've been thinking a lot about portraits lately.
Anybody out there feel like modeling?
Nothing too formal...well, actually formal might be kind of fun.
