99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1999!
That year PLR welcomed Black Sabbath at Ozzfest 1999 at Hartford’s XFINITY Theatre. Black Sabbath was already two years into their reunion with the original band lineup – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. In 1999 the band headlined Ozzfest, a yearly heavy metal music festival that toured different cities throughout the summer months.
Today we look back at Black Sabbath’s performance at Ozzfest 1999 in Hartford…
