Black Sabbath’s official sources use “final shows” for two different tour groupings: three U.S. dates in November 2016 and eight UK and Ireland dates in early 2017. The official full-concert viewing option documented here is not a recording of the 2016 trio: it is The End, filmed at the band’s February 4, 2017 Birmingham farewell. The available sources do not establish that all three 2016 shows can be watched in full.
Which three shows were called “final”?
The phrase refers to a final leg of Black Sabbath’s 2016 U.S. tour, not to the band’s last three performances overall. An official Black Sabbath announcement named Tulsa on November 8, Houston on November 10, and San Antonio on November 12 as that leg’s final three shows. The announcement’s page was not accessible directly, so the dates and wording are supported by its indexed search result. Black Sabbath’s official site

A separate official announcement described eight final UK and Ireland dates, from Dublin on January 20, 2017, through Birmingham on February 4. The Birmingham concert—not the November 2016 trio—is identified on the official viewing page as the 81st and final gig of The End Tour. Black Sabbath’s official site
Can you watch all three November 2016 shows?
The official sources reviewed do not identify full-show videos for Tulsa, Houston, or San Antonio. That does not prove recordings do not exist elsewhere; it means an official, complete viewing option for all three has not been established. The available official stream and Blu-ray concern the later Birmingham concert, so neither should be treated as a way to watch the 2016 dates.

Where to watch the documented final Birmingham concert
Stream the full concert
The official Black Sabbath viewing page offers The End as a 98-minute, HD, on-demand concert film of the February 4, 2017 Genting Arena show in Birmingham. The page describes worldwide streaming and lists browser access plus Samsung, LG, Amazon Fire TV, Netgem, Roku, and Apple TV.

Get the 4K Blu-ray
The official Black Sabbath shop lists a 4K Blu-ray of the same Birmingham performance, with a release date of September 13, 2024. It is a physical option rather than evidence of footage from the November 2016 dates: The End 4K Blu-ray in the official shop.

What’s in The End?
The film documents the Birmingham show and includes songs such as “Black Sabbath,” “Fairies Wear Boots,” “War Pigs,” “N.I.B.,” “Iron Man,” “Children of the Grave,” and “Paranoid.” The 2017 release announcement also documented bonus Angelic Sessions recorded in the days after the final live performance. The current shop listing names five of those sessions: “The Wizard,” “Wicked World,” “Sweet Leaf,” “Tomorrow’s Dream,” and “Changes.” The bonus sessions are distinct from the Birmingham concert itself.

In a September 16, 2026 announcement, Ozzy Osbourne’s official site said film of the July 5, 2025 Back to the Beginning event would receive a limited worldwide cinema release starting October 28, 2026. It described that event as the final live performance by Ozzy Osbourne and the original Black Sabbath lineup. That is a separate event from The End, the 2017 Birmingham concert film, and does not make the Birmingham release a collection of three 2016 shows. Ozzy Osbourne’s official announcement
