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.

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. 🙁

My random, desktop image of the day (above) is a foreshadowing of this coming Sunday evening.

It feels like forever since I’ve been to a metal show, but it’s been “only” five months.

Zakk Wylde is standing on his grand piano (that he was playing just moments before) with Dario Lorina on the left in today’s photo.

Four years and change later, I’ll be seeing Dario’s Dark Chapel open for Zakk Sabbath in Bend in 20 days.
