Dark Chapel in Bend, Oregon earlier this month @ Midtown Ballroom

On several occasions, other photographers have sent me a photo of me taking a photo, but I think this is the first time another photographer sent me a video of me taking a photo.

Zakk Sabbath @ Midtown Ballroom (November 2, 2025 – Bend, Oregon)

It’s been two weeks since this show in Bend, but I continue to relive that evening over and over again in my head.

Dark Chapel’s Dario Lorina (guitar) and Mike Gunn (bass) (November 2025)

We ran into these guys near the Deschutes Brewery Public House a couple of hours before they went on stage just a few blocks away. We had dinner with them before watching their awesomeness on stage. Great night!

Zakk Sabbath setlist and cues for “After Forever”

but the night before that. One of those “I can’t believe this is happening to me” evenings.

I loved how the setlist didn’t have “Paranoid” and “Iron Man” but did include the other “hits” like “Children of the Grave” and “War Pigs”. I’m wondering if the fact that this tour’s shirts have a knock off of the “Vol. 4” album cover has something to do with his playing so many songs off of “Vol. 4”? I love “Vol. 4”, and if focusing on certain albums is the case I’ll be even more excited should he do something similar in the future for “Sabotage” or “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath”. We got zero from those two. 🙁
