Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt during Yungblud’s astounding cover of Black Sabbath’s ‘Changes’ at the Back to the Beginning concert on Saturday 5th July.
Undoubtedly one of finest musicians to grace the Villa Park stage on the day, Bettencourt played four songs with Supergroup A in the early afternoon – Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘The Ultimate Sin’ and ‘Believer’, and Black Sabbath’s ‘Sweet Leaf’ and ‘Changes’.
The Portugal-born guitar virtuoso, who supports Liverpool Football Club and Benfica, wore Diogo Jota’s Number 20 Liverpool shirt in tribute to the late player. Yungblud also dedicated ‘Changes’ to Jota.
Bettencourt returned to the stage a few hours later to play Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Flying High Again’ and Montrose’s ‘Rock Candy’ with the Sammy Hagar fronted Supergroup B.
As Supergroup B’s performance continued, he then played Ozzy’s ‘Bark at the Moon’ with Ghost’s Papa V Perpetua, and three seminal songs with the ensemble fronted by Aerosmith legend Steven Tyler – ‘The Train Kept A-Rollin’, ‘Walk This Way’ and ‘Whole Lotta Love’.
