Black Sabbath - Gypsy (Live 1977)

Another track off the "Killing Yourself to Die" boot. This is "Gypsy", recorded at Lund, Sweden on 4/21/1977. Again, a few minor sound issues, but compared to other recordings of this era, this is pretty good. Enjoy!

[@jimmywires500]

This to me is one of Sabbath's more theatrical sounding songs & one that I have grown to appreciate

[@johnbator11]

technical ecstacy is definetly an underrated album

[@heldcomposer]

luv this album sooo much

[@husq48]

Na, it's just not as good as the previous ones.

[@christopheralton-moonn2097]

I love it

[@stevekagi]

totaly agree. Iommi completely shreds every song

[@angelojones4330]

Like in their best...

[@combatking0]

Gypsy is one of those songs that's so great you have to wonder why it almost never appears on compilation albums.

[@brunob.7737]

Neither in a dream I could imagine to listen this song live...amazing.

[@markwilson3026]

Amazing live and album!

[@andythunders1049]

Is it just me or does the later 70s sabbath like technical ecstasy and never say die kind of give us glimpses of what Ozzys solo stuff would be like

[@Kainan2]

It's just you and your prophetic eye :)

[@martinobrien4164]

I agree. Although Ozzy always claims to dislike Sabotage onwards - a lot of this album and NSD could be on Blizzard of Oz.

[@zmb5501]

Not really

[@jessew1133]

​@martinobrien4164 yep I've said this for years. Those first two Ozzy records are straight from the Technical Ecstasy/Never Say Die playbook. Too bad the haters can't give these two BS records an honest listen. Cheers 🎸🍻

[@fitdaws]

I saw this tour in Boston at the Music hall dec 3, 1976...dam freezing night but awesome show!

[@marioyuc95]

This is very rare live version... awsome!!! five stars

[@murdockdrinkalot83]

What a voice ozzy amazing

[@bls13thmember]

One of the few jems off of Technical ecstasy that never gets talked about. Great live song. Would have been awesome to hear it in person.

[@ctcards2636]

I like 4 songs off this album, the rest is blah to me. But as i said in another comment, id love to hear those other songs i didnt like on the album, live. Like this version of Gypsy is so much better than the studio version. I just didnt like the overall production and sound of the album mix of this material. All that RAW power that was Sabbath was kinda muffled on the album. Wish i could find more live shows from this era of Sabbath.

[@SteveBurk]

Ozzy's golden voice. just great

[@MetalheadYA]

Technical X is a very underrated Sab record .....Women is a Sab classic.....but the tour was pretty rough.....The boys were all pretty strung out.... not gettin' along.... Rock n' Roll is a rough way to keep one's sanity.....They were about done with each other by then....STILL,, excellent record....Long Live SABBATH!!!

[@WHAC420]

I went on tour recently for 12 dates. It's not easy! 3000+ miles and little sleep! Greatest days of my life for sure!

[@derangedband]

being at this gig must have been awesome. i envy my dad so much when he tells me how he used to go see sabbath, rainbow, early queen and all these great bands for very little money. what a cool era!

[@Brenda-qc4xb]

Your father's right myself led Zeppelin up front front row three times Black Sabbath twice front row Grand funk was the first concert I ever saw at the age of 16 they just do not make them like that anymore

[@campinggrousebuyahouse91]

Bill ward.

[@markwilson3026]

One of my favorite Sabbath songs like the previous 6 albums the next 2 are just as awesome.

[@lynchie137]

I'd love to see this stuff cleaned up and released as a sort of box set/anthology. As it is, it's pretty damn good and it's always a treat to hear the original lineup in their prime doing their thing

[@corpsebrideemilie69]

lynchie137 cleaned up ? Wtf .. dirty is better always ...

[@highlandchief1638]

cleaned up? wtf?

[@jesgarcia9556]

I remember hearing this song live n it kicked ass . Didn't need other no one just flur dudes sounfing as good led zepplin but in a different manner my favorite band of all time man it was cool living back then

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

ozzy in fire great voice!

[@Chadsfactor30]

Ozzy was a great performer in his days.

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

+Chad Herrin Mate he is still a magnificent performer

[@samuraidarryl]

dimethaltryptamine1 ABSOLUTELY!!! 👊

[@Chadsfactor30]

He's hit or miss now. I've seen him live since the 90's. Some nights he strained and struggled and was all over the place. Other times, he was spot on.

[@ozzymd1]

WAS ? IS AND STILL IS PRINCE OF DARKNESS

[@KickRockNow]

Ozzy at his best. Tony's killer riff at 1:38 nearly beats Dirty Women, excellent version of rarely played song. Tks

[@petervenkman4466]

😎🤘 Best metal band of all time !! Bill Geezer Tony and Ozzy 👻 Amazing version

[@martinobrien4164]

This really works as a live track.

[@arthurmaia919]

Qualidade do som feito ao vivo em '77 é um absurdo, sem retorno e tirar um som assim, fantástico, queria muito ter visto esse show ao vivo 😮

[@matercicero9148]

Thank you! This is a masterpiece.

[@blacksabfan]

No, there's a few other shows that circulate from late 76-early 77. In fact, someone just posted the previously rare 12/10/76 Niagara Falls, NY show over at DIME. They played "Megalomania" at the show (one of the last times they played it live) as well as Gypsy, All Moving Parts Stand Still, and a few other selections not often heard live.

[@skyehoyt1971]

very cool i'm completly stoked to here this, thought I heard all sabbath jams (ozzy) NEVER SAY DIE!!!

[@JohnMichaelOzbourne]

Wow! I actually remember this..Thank you for this posting! Memories.."She didn't like my thoughts at all"

[@markunwin2109]

Best heavy metal band by far...

[@UncleJimmema]

Great post once again.

[@rolandblack2773]

This whole show appeared on a bootleg album called "Doomsday Recitation". I have a copy. It's pretty good.

[@delmer93]

gracias black sabbath

[@LAstump]

Awesome, thanks.

[@GFabio2011]

Wonderful

[@kevinhodgson8508]

Terrific !

[@blacksabfan]

I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing that information with everyone.

[@seanpagano9790]

This happened to be recorded on my birthday. Now I really like it!

[@icebytes]

drums so freaking amazing

[@Rainbow_in_the_dark75]

I wish so bad this tour was on video instead of just the audio alone

[@HenrikFlyman]

Brilliant stuff.

[@doomzakon]

Great song

[@stingray1964]

this is from a bootleg record called Doomsday Recitation!! I have it on vinyl...

[@reindeerbermy3796]

love it

[@craigsimon7658]

Lund, Sweden 4/21/78🍺🍺💊

[@marcsimon1720]

You mean 77.

[@utopiah7]

totally agree what an album and production...

[@dengie75]

technical ecstacy great album for the rythm section

[@blacksabfan]

That's how it always was from '75 on. You'll see it on the NSD DVD too. I don't want to speculate too much why I think that is, but I'm sure Ozzy and Tony didn't exact see eye to eye on a lot of things toward the end of their run together and Tony probably felt he was the "leader" of the band.

[@mikekrause3671]

he was the leader

[@HELLCOMESTOTOWN]

This is a great version

[@jimmywires500]

It sounds almost exactly like the album

[@spookydude5537]

I know a guy who saw them in '74 and was complaining that they sound just like the album, he thought there should have been improvization and guitar solos, etc. I'd just like to have seen them before '80 (first time I did.)

[@corpsebrideemilie69]

I AM HER AND SHE IS ME ... GYPSY

[@D4RK5iDERS]

Technical Ecstasy is awesome like ALL of Sabbath's albums. 1:30 epic riff.

[@olecranonrebellion9976]

She looked me in the eyes an said ' so you say your from Pachippsii."

[@ralphmartin1058]

Go on now…

[@highdb1]

@stingray1964 I got to thinking and I realized; in the '80s I had recorded onto a cassette the Doomsday album. My friend had the vinyl. I lost the tape and bought the cd KYTD, which I found out was the exact same recording as Doomsday. I also have a boot from the Paris show; now I can't think of the title. I need to quit loaning my cds out! This is amazing! All those boots I bought years ago; I'm now watching them in video form! Rock on, indeed!

[@diegogoncalves951]

Love ❤️

[@blacksabfan]

@9977boom The show you speak of was February 13,1977. On March 13, 1977, Sabbath did a show in London at the Hammersmith Odeon. To answer your question though, no. There isn't a recording known from that date. The closest I have is one from 2/9/1977, when Sabbath was in Nashville and the 3/9/77 partial show in Cardiff Wales, and the 3/13/77 gig at Hammersmith.

[@highdb1]

@stingray1964 No, I was just saying my first post was mistaken; I had the same vinyl that you have called Doomsday. I later found the same recording on cd, called Killing Yourself To Live. I just recently started listening to Technical Ecstasy and really love Gypsy. Ozzys voice is awesome on this record. I've seen the original group 4 times, but all after the reunion.

[@jesdegarcia5843]

Black Sabbath were bad dudes

[@elkakafilterstainless9151]

Gillan went to doctor. D doctor said, Gillan must rest his vocal for a year. But he drank n signed the contract out his manager radar until the next day...that’s why his vocal sound so so..but still amazing. Only his screaming...

[@nolanstolz]

utopiah7 CrazyBear65 @icecreamallthetime It's Jezz Woodroffe on keys for this tour, the Sabotage tour, and the Technical Ecstasy album.

[@blacksabfan]

@mrdeersniper 9 Feb 1977, Nashville? If that's the one, I already have it. In fact, there might not be a show from 1970-1978 that I don't have.

[@istoriyarokavkartinkah]

Ох,как это круто!!

[@bsasteve]

love sabbath \M/

[@pdinardo9472]

THE OMIGHTY SABBATH!!!🤘

[@Frankenfukstein]

TOP RATE sound >>>killer baddddddd ass !!! MMMmmmmrrrrRRrrrrr GUUUD

[@stingray1964]

@highdb1 Hmm.. I thought Doomsday was recorded in Sweden...? I can't believe these entire concerts you can find here on KZbin, what a great time we live in. Rock on bro!

[@mrdeersniper]

This is a GREAT bootleg. I was taking a look at the set list for the Technical Ecstasy Tour and Iron Man was on it. I have this bootleg and the set list dosen't include Iron Man for some reason.

[@samanthablacksabbath5804]

Owwwww esto tiene mucha calidad de sonido :0

[@Fontaine1108]

@zzardozz777 That's so true...

[@CrazyBear65]

Don Airey, I believe.

[@IceCreamAllTheTime]

are there offstage keyboards? did they ever have offstage keyboards in the 70s?

[@highdb1]

@stingray1964 I have Doomsday also. I also have Killing Yourself To Die. Right now I'm thinking my Doomsday is the Paris show from '70. My cd has the same cover as this video. Strange.

[@stingray1964]

@highdb1 Hmm..Okay lemme see if I follow. So you're saying 'Doomsday" even though labeled "Lund Sweden" is really a show recorded in Paris...?? Haa..sorry like most Sabbath fans I smoked too much Mary-Jane as a teen so my brain is slow...:) For purposes here I'll still call it Doomsday. I LOVE the jam section right before Electric Funeral on Doomsday fuckin' that blew me away first time I heard it! Ever seen em with Ozzy.? I never did, although I almost did...that's a story in itself. later!

[@ianpw2]

Where's mine?? I'm sure I used to have this... My wife just said 'why would I through a record away, besides you don't have a record play anymore what use would it be' which I'm thinking is a little mixed up....

[@mrdeersniper]

@blacksabfan I have a show from Febuary of 1977... If you want the torrent file I can E-mail it too you...

[@stingray1964]

@highdb1 Okay,now I got it. Nice..I've seen them 6 times starting with Heaven and Hell. 4 times with Dio,Once Tony Martin and once with Ian Gillan (Born Again) which was a GREAT tour. I tried to see them at Ozzy fest one year with Ozzy but it was so rowdy that It freadked me and my Girlfriend out and we had to leave, I was SO bummed. Oh well, If you get a chance read Ozzy's book "I am OZZY" you'll piss yourself. Technical is good, although the Sabs considered it to be the beginning of the end.

[@jimmywires500]

Production really lets it down though I feel that Gypsy is a good song, different for Sabbath

[@SoCalFlyer1]

LOL!!!!!! Oh man that made me laugh. +1

[@utopiah7]

i got caught stealing the shadows much to my embarresment!!!! still i was still at school

[@waltberger7885]

These songs from Technical sound much better live. Over production and too many lines in the studio. There may be lines involved in this live performance but not the over production. ;-)

[@zeppelin1996]

@BalleFjonka Yeah from the videos I've seen of the Never Say Die tour on here I can tell he wasn't doing good.

[@marioyuc95]

Why Tony Iommi is in the center of stage?, if he isnot the singer... Why Ozzy is in the left side?? here i can see the iommi's ego. somebody answer this... thanks

[@matercicero9148]

Because his ego is the biggest, there. Ozzy is not confident.

[@gunsrulecommiesdrool]

From what I read Iommi said Ozzy was so effed up.they had to put him on the side but it may have been an excuse cover up his ego. But I've seen shows even earlier in their career with the same setup. I think its possible that it was just easier for Tony and Geezer to communicate this way

[@ThomasButterfly]

Ozzy stayed on the left, but in the center too. He moved a lot.

[@fuckamericanidiot]

Ozzy doesn't sound like he's having fun on tech ec or never say die (except the title track), not once does he "yeeeaaahhhhh!!!" or "hahah!",

[@matercicero9148]

He was depressed at that time. You can see it through the photos too.

[@giogionist2148]

Ac/dc has ripped off the intro for their love hungry man!

[@utopiah7]

who played the piano on the live concerts?

[@natedog9452]

Adam Wakeman maybe? Or they just played from the studio recording

[@redjohndeble9862]

jezz woodrufe or don airey

[@mrdeersniper]

@blacksabfan Oh... Ok...

[@kleeeee567]

got cougt in a store trying to steal this rare album many years ago. bah.

[@blacksabfan]

Bootlegs are wrong...a lot. Sometimes it's because they don't know anything about the music, or sometimes it's because they intend to fraud people. In this show's case, there's someone heard in speaking close to the mic that says "Live at Lund" right before the Paranoid encore. People confuse this as "London". That's the difference.

[@kennatiousc]

at least you didnt get caught stealing krokus like i did

[@AxterAstelium]

Ozzy Osbourne was a great singer and I think that song nobody could be sing better like him

[@mikek8553]

I know most people hate the last 2 Ozzy era albums. In my opinion Technical Ecstacy totally murders Never Say Die. Juniors Eyes is the only song I can stomach on the whole album

[@zigmonger6646]

I disagree completely. Johnny Blade, Shock Wave, Over to You, Swingin'The Chain. . ..all kick ass tracks with outstanding lyrics ; musically a natural and I think effective progression; the remaining tracks pretty damn good too!!! And the first 2 songs on Tec Ec are fucking awesome !!!!

[@frankmccourt1178]

Come on and get help

[@user-ic5fe5jg3x]

horrible lp, used it as a frisbie

[@imogenaris1697]

Ozzy sounds amazing here but TE is still the worst album from the original lineup. It wasn't commercial per se but it wasn't the epic doom they were known for either. Never Say Die was brilliant in it's own way save for 2 tracks. TE is just weird & out of place
