[@iliketowatch.]

To everyone who keeps posting these live Sabbath concerts: keep 'en coming. True Sabbath heads can NEVER get enough. I was fortunate enough to see BS on their "Never Say Die" tour (Oakland, CA, USA December 2, 1978. I listen to the recording of the concert often.

[@thewurm9177]

This is truly THE BEST live recording of a Sabbath show on the internet. Ozzy's best live singing performance. You can finally hear both Bill and Geezer, and Tony's super atomic military grade tone. Plus Jezz Woodruffs backing keys are cool. And what a setlist! Friggin Spiral Architect, Sabbra Cadabra and Megalomania for crissakes!! All the solos and jams. This is the "live album that never was" that every Sabbath fan should hear. Sabotage U.S. tour. Great to sit back with a fat indica j, a whisky sour and headphones. To be played on "11" ,,\/, ,\/,,

[@mikehill7587]

Thank you 😊 for that I'm very high not even noon in Ca.

[@sotis1756]

To me it’s either, California Jam 1974 or San Bernadino 1972

[@roddypampa3906]

The saint trinity for me is made by: - Lausanne 1970 (w/ sleeping village extended version and warning with “take five” jazzy jam improv) - Providence, 1975 - Costa Mesa, 1992 (original members final gig)

[@brooke8567]

Asbury Park NJ 1975 is the best sounding bootleg by far. Pittsburgh 1976 is also killer✌️🇺🇸

[@vbassone]

OZZY KILLING IT HERE!!! At the top of his game. Fantastic! The whole band!!! Thanks for this! Sabotage tour!!

[@Twotontessie]

Ozzy’s voice was explosive in that 73-75 period 🎉

[@scottmaxemuck8066]

Iommi's riffs throughout Killing Yourself To Live are second to NO ONE .. pure technical ecstasy .. they just don't make them like this anymore folks ! .. Awesome recording ,,, a real masterpiece and one for the ages that gives Sabbath their due,, This stuff NEVER gets old !!! GREAT JOB Dan !!!!!!!

[@lukesgameplay9121]

Ozz sounds amazing here. And no one can do vibrato and trills like Tony

[@FerenswayRecords]

To say that this is an audience tape recording from '75 the sound quality is brilliant. Great performance as well. Ozzy at his very best.

[@benwood7132]

Let me say, I have been a longtime causal listener to Sabbath and all these great bands. I’m just now getting into these audience recordings and bootlegs, and I’m totally blown away. One thing that helps me love these recordings is the fact that my other favorite genre is pre-war country blues. I have a lot of training at listening THROUGH and PAST the recording medium to hear the performances. Listening to (and enjoying!) Charlie Patton and Blind Lemon Jefferson on scratched to shit 78 RPM records lets one really appreciate how amazing this document is. It really sounds great, and especially if you crank it. 🤘

[@SuperSilverhawke]

[@vincebalosky771]

I was at this concert in Chicago at the international amphitheater 1978 Van Halen back Black Sabbath up for this particular show will never forget it excellent concert!!!

[@v2rider]

This was my first time seeing Sabbath. I was a 16 year old at the time and partied up a storm. Kiss as the opener completely blew us away. We had never heard of them before and when they flashed the lights to show them in full makeup we laughed our asses off. Needless to say that didn't last long as they put on one hell of a show. Sabbath was awesome. Get to see them one more time in Vegas on The End Tour.

[@jestermindcrime1773]

dont really care about kiss shit....

[@infernusrex796]

You were super lucky to see that, Kiss only opened for Sabbath twice!!

[@davidgabaldon5796]

Saw them in Albuquerque in August 1975! When they played Snowblind it Snowed on stage! Great concert at the Civic Auditorium!

Absolutely incredible. Top notch..

[@scazermazz]

Best live recording I've heard in ages. Especially Symptoms.

[@sabbathtribute]

Great, great concert. This is prob better than any live album they've ever released.

[@benwood7132]

They should either release both Asbury Park and this as separate live albums OR, release a live album that takes the best cuts from each. Maybe all 3 in a set. These shows were only days apart. Unreal.

[@sabbathtribute]

This is a gem of a live recording. Totally raw and uncompromised. This was a great, great period for the band. Ozzy most certainly sounded his very best here. Really good stuff.

[@yourmothersballs]

i was at that show also...im' 56 and still love it...i do have this ticket stub somewhere....i believe this is the concert that KISS opened for them.....i had taped this also the same way with a little handheld tape deck,but not of this quality....nice job....

[@ProgBartleby]

Thank you for all the kind comments regarding the recording. I forget where I was sitting...I know on the floor...left center I think...towards the front. I think this was my third time seeing them. I have not heard this in decades...did not realize how good an audio capture I got. The Boston - Providence concert scene in the 70's was awesome!

[@Deucealive75]

+Mel Man This is an amazing recording of this show! Did you also record the KISS show from this night? These audience recordings are pretty interesting because you could occasionally hear people talking. On the KISS show from this night, at the end of the song "Black Diamond" you could hear someone say "you got one last toke off of it". The concerts of yesterday... Now you can't even smoke a cigarette.

[@ProgBartleby]

Deucealive75 Yes I did record the KISS opener. They put on a great show...and since I had seen Sabbath multiple times prior KISS was more entertaining to me being the first time...as they were hungry up and comers at the time. I had the mic right under my chin most of the time...and I did not want my brothers or friends to feel constrainted to express themselves...so you will hear voices...and sometimes even mine.

[@scottwilson8212]

Amazing Man!! Thank you. This is how I want to remember Sabbath.

[@ProgBartleby]

Scott Wilson Me too...they went downhill in the late seventies.

[@scottwilson8212]

they did have some pretty good shows during Ozzfest years. 2001, 2003 and some others. But 75,76 was peak.

[@upasaka259]

[@lewiswhatley687]

For some reason, i always seem to find that these obscure live recordings are better than the official ones with all the cameras and stuff. In any case, the band sounded like they were on form when this was recorded! thanks for uploading.

4:50 the only time i've heard Ozzy nail the high "KILLING yourself to live"

[@Stigbool]

Damn, I was a 12 yr old kid in RI when Sabbath did this show. Wish someone would have taken me. It wasn't until 1977 that I saw my first concert at the Providence Civic Center- Queen & Thin Lizzy. Not as epic as a Black Sabbath show, but a good one indeed.

[@crt1975]

Thank you for this wonderful recording of the best, the originators, the most devastating band in history. I was in the front row in Dallas on this tour. Words can't describe how perfect it was.

My all time favorite of the Ozzy era bootlegs - and from my own city, no less. The sound is incredible - much better than the Asbury Park, NJ bootlegs, and the set list is awesome. This is almost on par with the Dio era Hammersmith concert released by Rhino.

[@corvettebmw]

i live in rhode island but did not see this show being 11 years old. my first show was kiss at the providence civic center in 1977. i did see sabbath the heaven and hell tour in 1980. sammy hager opened up, he was great to. i had front row. back then we would get to the civic center 12 hours before the tickets went on sale and got a number from the first person in line.front row very hard 2 get, but i did get front row about 6 times but was always in the first 10 rows on the floor. saw everybody

[@Bonzosbadgeholder]

At first I couldn't figure out why the 2 dudes at the beginning didn't know if the song playing was Sabbath....it's because Sabotage hadn't been released yet and therefore they had never heard Supertzar before. How cool is that!

This is Sabbath in their PRIME!!!! Must’ve been an out of body experience man! Breaks my heart I’ll never see my favorite band live ever 💔 (at least I got KZbin man!)

[@zigmonger6646]

Well the trade-off is.... I've seen the 1970s and into the '80s concerts of in my opinion some of the greatest bands ever Chuck Berry Queen (who probably had the best sound, lights etc..of any band I've seen) Pink Floyd the original Sabbath deep purple with Gillian Gillan with Sabbath Alice Cooper i saw dio fronted sabbath rob halford w/sab (well that was in the early 90s) Ozzy w/Randy plus countless of other bands (se i like others i particularly don't) in a supporting role like Motorhead Metallica motley Crue judas and I wish and I regret not seeing the original Alice Cooper group billion dollar babies etc CCR the doors.....

[@zigmonger6646]

Better than the Asbury park show. Ozzy is in much finer form vocally.

[@traviss1030]

I think what screwed up his voice was the technical acessity and the never say die tour because they never down tuned at all so he was constantly singing to high and all the drugs and alcohol that he was using screwed his voice up really well

[@paulbarlow7992]

No way the Asbury park show is much better

[@Thalys756]

@@traviss1030 This is one of the most sad part of Sabbath's history. And Tony Martin's losing his vocal range as well. It was awesome that he could sing those songs at that time, but it is possible to notice that he sings it without comfort at all in his voice.

My opinion of course anything after never say die is it Tony iommi album end of story and they're all good but to call them Black Sabbath I think it's just wrong they should have been Tony ayomi featuring Tony Martin Glenn Hughes etc

[@robertcarli5803]

@@michaelshockley1965 ya right

[@RandyRhoadsRules3]

Ozzy is a doom metal singer, Dio was more of a power metal type. Completely different styles and Iommi wrote music to fit each of them. I personally prefer Ozzy by a mile cuz doom metal is my favorite but Dio was a legend no doubt.

[@joeylummox7330]

​@Darren Holmes Iommi=Sabbath. End of.

[@joeylummox7330]

@Darren Holmes by then the music industry had changed greatly leading to the garbage one we have today where virtually nothing is merit based and a band like Black Sabbath were they brand new could never make it nearly as far anymore. They sold a lot of records with Dio, the reason the Tony Mertin era didn't sell as much as Ozzy's was a changing Musial landscape and an inept music recording industrial complex. I'll say it again. If it's got Iommi it's Sabbath.

[@metafis2490]

Symptom of the universe here is like hard core punk/thrash metal crossover..2 years before punk was a thing. Certainly holds its thrash metal credentials well. And overall the band are at their peak, wonderful musicianship...Ozzie's vocals are spot on as well.

[@keithbeck2300]

Wow, I never realized how much Black Sabbath influenced early 90's grunge and stoner rock until I heard this bootleg. I knew Sabbath was an influence on Nirvana, Kurt Cobain mentioned the band in interviews. But the influence was acute, I can hear Toni Iommi's guitar style in bands like Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. Toni Iommi is not only a badass guitarist he is classy. I've never heard him gloating clearly influencing an entire rock genre unlike Pete Townshend who is never at a loss for words and has always been outspoken regarding The Who's influence on 70's punk.

[@patriquevidal6810]

Setlist perfeito.

[@saund102]

Maybe we don’t see National Acrobat on any of these because Iommi’s overdubs were so pronounced on the studio version. It would have fit so perfectly into the set too.

[@giuseppetrastulli8622]

Il piu' bel concerto dei Black Sabbath con tutti nel loro apice: fino al 75' sono stati quelli con il suono piu' pesante. Gli anticipatori di molti generi: fino a quel momento nessuno era stato Heavy-Rock/Stoner/Doom/Heavy-Metal come loro. Symptom of the Universe e' stato il primo brano che ha anticipato addirittura il Trash-Metal ed hanno contaminato anche il Grunge. Non e' un caso che alcuni loro brani, ancora oggi non stonano affatto in mezzo al Metal poiche' magari (anche se incosapevolmente), venivano certamente dal Jazz/Blues ma la loro vera matrice era l' ambito Rock-Heavy-Metal-Stoner-Doom. Bill Ward, qui era al suo apice e rispetto al suono registrato sui dischi, il suono della batteria lo premia in maniera completa. Geezer non tradiva mai e i Riff di Iommi erano eccezionalmente una novita' fino al 75'. Nessuno suonava come i Sabbath fino al 75'. Invece, Ozzy alla voce qui era al suo massino splendore con brani anche molto estesi: in piu'il suo vibrato era veramente unico! A parte la parte della Jam se la estrapolate e a parte un paio di brani piu' Blues (tra l' altro di pregevolissima fattura), il tutto suona incredibilmente ancora attuale!

[@campinggrousebuyahouse91]

Ozzy sounding braw on this nyt.. iommis tone was better on the asbury park gig tho.. I just wish they would doctor theses gigs up a bit and realese them as albums, make the cash they deserve, sabbath got total ripped aff back in the day. Will we ever se a band great their own genre again.?
