"Killing Yourself to Live", live at Asbury Park, NJ on 8/5/1975. This track was never officially released.

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

Completely blowing mind performance,Ozzy at his peak!

[@AlexNemeth-yk5wl]

p . s . they for my best quess , almost 3 hours , almost everything they had , !!!

[@donjohnson1155]

Tony the god of riff

[@andrewp3538]

He wouldn't be there without Geezer. The riff lords.

[@stevemcgill355]

Ozzy may miss some notes but his enthusiasm makes up for it. I can't believe they didn't release this back then. It would have been huge!

[@stephenchristopher9991]

I see comments of OZZY being "out of key". Where? Seriously??? Maybe a few notes. But very few. His vocal is SAVAGE in this performance and 99.9% IN key and ON point! Geez, did Robert Plant never hit a bad note in concert?? This performance is amazing from every member.

[@sydIRISH]

What I wouldn't give to have been alive during this generation. The sound quality is superb for 1975. It doesn't surprise me that they sounded this great live. I saw the '98 reunion tour, they were fucking amazing. Thanks for posting these...very cool!!!

Indeed Id go to the masters of reality tour kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIi8hJeQjMamm6c

[@markb.8756]

Agree.

[@frankfarago2825]

I saw them in Asbury Park at the oceanfront auditorium in the Summer of 1972, so 3 years before this was recorded at the same exact location. Intro group was Black Oak Arkansas. Ticket cost $6.00. Second row. The girl to the left of me spent more time in the air than standing on the ground during the show. Those were the days, my friend.

[@mikemurphey6361]

I saw that tour! Salem, Va

[@cimarron7639]

Bournemouth Winter Gardens UK May 74 , they were right at the top of there game.

[@Mmebsuta]

This makes me want to dance. I love Black Sabbath.

[@TheGreenBlackbird]

out of key? does it matter? its the feeling man. and he delivers it.

[@OnlyToZo]

smoke it... get high!!!!

[@slowemm]

This is fucking fantastic.

[@mikedavis1084]

This tune is the best live. Live at last version cool 2

[@chuckfriebe843]

The Live At Last version was very muddy though.

[@kinbendixpertesen8378]

Tenk you very much and black sabbath

[@kinbendixpertesen8378]

Black sabbath i love you

[@lawrencearansaspasstx4374]

Started listening to Sabbath in '71, when I was 13 or 14, because they were the BEST of the BEST(and there were ALOT of REALLY good bands jamming during the '70s)! NOW, in 2019, I Iisten to BLACK SABBATH not only because I STILL think that they were and are, the BEST; but since Peter Steele died in 2010 (and Type O Negative with him) there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE!!!!!?

[@Cluless02]

2:43 Ozzy really tears it up!!

[@blacksabfan]

4 months too late, but I pretty much agree with you. I'm not big into live albums, which is funny considering how much live music I put up in my channel, but I think this would of been one of the best live albums of all time had it been released in 75/76. Even now, if this was officially released, I think it would sell great. Past Lives is an abomination compared to the complete Asbury Park show.

[@sidkid9873]

Work, drugs, booze, he was so right!

[@diarchangel]

I love this song. Thanks for posting. What a great version. I think it's funny they were playing supertzar before the band came on stage. I love Sabotage, but that's one song that got me up out of my chair to pick up the needle and move it to the next song.

[@toborthegreat]

Wow I remember when I started to listen to this classic band. I was 12 years old watching California Jam in 74. Buy the time I was 14, I had all the albums. I remember In Concert that night on channel 7. I just knew this band was going to last over the years.

[@spacecowboy1956]

i saw sabbath in '74,'76,&'78 and as the band hit the stage in '76 &'78,a recording of supertzar plays as the guys hit the stage

EPIC!

[@T90395]

Epic,epic,epic,epic,epic,epic.....................

[@UncleJimmema]

As much as I love Sabbath, some times I think their really picky as to what songs they release for a live album. This song and the 15 others posted from this concert would have made a great live album. Great performance, 5/5 stars.

[@smax42662]

FYI : This song *with video* from their performance in Santa Monica about a month after the Asbury concert from the same tour which aired later that year on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert can be viewed on KZbin as well... This particular concert is available in it's entirety on various torrent sites as audio

[@AlexNemeth-yk5wl]

I was at this concert In Person , !!!

[@GRILLBUOY101]

WHEN I IOMMI HITS THE FIRST CHORD IM BE SPARKING ONE UP PRONTO!!!

[@56Veggie]

@toborthegreat I was 18 and I was there. I miss those days. I'm going to see Ozzy on Tues. Feb. 1 at the Gibson Amphitheatre. I haven't seen him since 1980. I know it will be interesting, to say the least.

[@billjannusch]

Great live bootleg!!!I love it!!Thanks for posting this...I'm a true Sabbath nut and I love all of your posts!!

[@TENSE1983videos]

Hey, this is one of your earliest comments ;)

[@LSUOdyssey]

people never understand the one pedal that gave Tony THIS tone that he favored from 1972/73 on. and no, i don't mean the Dallas Rangemaster....can anyone else guess?? i cant find any info but i can hear it so easily and don't get why nobody else can but hes definitely using one almost 99.9% of the time by 1975

[@jimfolkers8463]

I was wondering the same thing. His live tone sounded different. If I had to guess, I could be wrong. It sounds like he's using a chorus pedal. Zakk wylde uses a chorus pedal for his live performances, but with alot more chorus effect. The chorus gives you a bigger sound or even a doubled guitar effect when using it with distortion.

[@LSUOdyssey]

EXACTLY! he's using some kinda custom made Leslie speaker emulator or a very early chorus unit, it sounds incredible@@jimfolkers8463

[@BanOxyCred]

THE INVENTORS OF HEAVY METAL....

[@wlmason73]

@oakley1234567 No kidding man. Iommi's tone here is so damn heavy that if I was in the audience I might think the world was ending. Good God that's awesome. Ozzy seems a bit off, but not too bad.

[@jadenrenollet2662]

wlmason73 yes dude this concert would have been fucking righteous dude the damn thing is so heavy but I think ozzys voice might just be a tad off but man he still sounds damn good man I loved his earlier sabbath voice and just Sabbath with ozzy in general cause Sabbath was NOT Sabbath with dio sorry to the duo fans out there he’s good he just wasn’t Sabbath good he didn’t fit

[@sotis1756]

Have u seen never say die tour'78 ? Thats some heavy ass shit

[@LSUOdyssey]

i know the secret to this tone

[@elcalvario7547]

brilliant

[@toborthegreat]

Wow I remember when I started to listen to this classic band. I was 12 years old watching California Jam in 74. Buy the time I was 14, I had all the albums. I remember In Concert that night on channel 7. I just knew this band was going to last over the years. Too bad Purple did not last like Sabbath, all the original members still alive and well today. God Bless them all. Vic Does anyone know where I can get this concert? love to play it in my car.

[@Cluless02]

Ozzy rips at 2:44 !!

[@Christopherius]

I think i got the whole show somewhere in my collection

[@blacksabfan]

I agree it's not a great album track, but for a concert opener, it's great. It has that ominous, militaristic feel. Sabbath has used it off and on since '75, particularly on their remaining tours with Ozzy, the Heaven and Hell tour with Dio, most of the Born Again tour, the Eternal Idol tour, the Cross Purposes tour, and occasionally with Ozzy after the Reunion. I like it better than E5150 and Ave Satini, which they've used in the past.

[@blacksabfan]

@bleekblock 1. I'm talking about Supertzar, not Killing Yourself to Live, since the person I responded to brought it up. 2. When I say "Heaven and Hell" tour, I mean the one in 1980-81, not the 'band' Heaven and Hell. Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing.

[@celticsarebest]

just herd on radio that all the original sabbath members are thinking about a possible reunion in 2011.Anyone here anything?

[@extraextra8021]

Superztar opening is pretty cool

[@sotis1756]

Perhaps the most catchy BS riff haha been humming it for years

[@JohnAllanification]

did he say okay assholes ? kinda' sounded like it

[@GRILLBUOY101]

the bloody sabbs tour right??wow what a buzz that must have been

[@matheuslorranoficial7050]

All rights

[@blacksabfan]

@koeienboei Considering Geezer Butler wrote 98% of Sabbath's lyrics when Ozzy was in the band, shouldn't he be the one deserving of your accolades? And nevermind Daisley's lyrical contributions to those first several Ozzy solo records....

[@notrelevant4212]

Well it was closer to 78% of the lyrics, and depending on how you look at the process of writing lyrics then maybe even less

[@celticsarebest]

When are we going to get a past lives 2,or another old live sabbath cd/dvd set?

[@beserker1912]

hey is it possible to send me this whole show in mp3 format. i wanna put it on my ipod.

[@psnation365]

@drd01987 you must only be 3 weeks old ha!

[@gpfmusico]

the picture is funny/sabbath rocks

[@blacksabfan]

You should watch the footage of him trying to sing Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in '95 in South America. Talk about out of key...ouch.

[@crashkidd34]

no video, just a picture. =| this IS a video site, right?

[@cannonfodder4507]

Just enjoy the damn music

[@Juanpablo.Canguro]

XD wtf

[@sabbathomaniac]

@blacksabfan XD nice.

[@blacksabfan]

Yeah right. He's technically in the correct key...just can't reach the notes within that key. So right, out of tune.

[@ThePowerslave94]

@ilikeprettycolors94 ... see thats the problem they aren't

[@ironpumpermd]

Asbury park...before it went to s@#$

[@GRILLBUOY101]

@koeienboei IM NOT A SMART LYRIC GUY AND HARLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY HELL ANY IOF THESE SINGERS ARE SAYING IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT I BEEN TOLD THIS SONG IS ABOUT BILL WARDS ALCOHOL ADDICTION BACK THEN!!.GET READY FOR A SABBATH TOUR IN 2012 ITS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE AND MAY BE THE LAST TIME YOU EVER GET TO SEE THEN PLAY TOGETHER. FACE IT THESE DUDES AINT NO SPRING CHICKENS ANYMORE. THE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH THEM

[@staffanholm7138]

Think it's about all their lifestyle back then...already on Vol 4 they thanked 'the great COKE-Cola company of LA'.

[@jimmywires500]

I've never heard Ozzy's voice to be this out of key on any oher song I've heard

[@LeKerstman]

@ilikeprettycolors94 weed and alcohol. my girlfriend does xtc tough

[@psnation365]

@crashkidd34 you must be a kid! ha!

[@campinggrousebuyahouse91]

So ture aswell , hahahaha.

[@tobycleo]

Around this time Sabbath was leaving its fans to bands like KISS and Aerosmith

[@earlbutler6213]

good riddance to bad rubbish

[@toastforkdspoon]

don't mean to be pendantic or annoying, but you mean out of tune

[@blacksabfan]

@koeienboei What the fuck does your "God rant" have to do with the factual accuracy of what you said? Ozzy didn't write jack shit. Period. End of discussion. And there's no supreme puppet master in the sky that rules us all either...but if you want to believe in that, fine. You should start believing in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus too.
