Black Sabbath - Sabbra Cadabra, Pt. 1 (Live) 7/15

This extended version of "Sabbra Cadabra" was recorded at Asbury Park, NJ on 8/5/1975. This first part features most of the actual song and a guitar solo by Iommi. Part 2 features the "Sometimes I'm Happy" portion of the jam and a drum solo by Ward. Enjoy!

5:20 Heavy isn't about more volume. Heavy is a FUCKING ATTITUDE

[@brianhays4817]

i was born in '73' and found Sabbath in '80'! Sabbath is in my DNA...

[@mjbernardi78]

Iommi layed down the most atom splitting heaviest riffs of all time,but at same time it had that funky,bluesy groove to it. I like bands like Sleep and Electric Wizard they the cave man heaviness down pat but lack that groove. Gotta have that boogie baby! I wonder what Tony thinks about his legions of followers?

[@kevinrogers7650]

IMHO, this is Iommi's best solo, bar none! One of the greatest rock solos of all time! Starts at 5:30

[@JohnAllanification]

THIS WHOLE SHOW IS FUCKING GREAT! can we just leave it at that?

[@robbysgroup]

Best Live Sabbath I've heard

[@calebproductions5970]

Me too.they had a badass band with Ian Gillan in 83.

[@BridgeIsSky]

LET'S GO One of my favorites perfomances live by Black Sabbath. Such a pitty don't have the video too

[@dyr234]

Man sabbra cadabra is such a killer fucking track

[@gking407]

one of the best albums of any kind of all time

[@luciamulligan]

The sexiest metal rock song of all time.

[@rob825]

This is by far the best song about sex that I have ever heard.

[@RcNerd]

sabbath aint music its a way of life \M/

[@cuthulhu6708]

man sabbath fucked up not releasing this at the time, or at least they could have put this whole show on past lives, and then the different tracks from live at last on it, would have been better. oh well, still kicks ass, and holy fuck geezers bass playing is from a different fucking planet!

[@oldschoolgaming1288]

6:26. who thinks Tony Iommi can't play fast and with feeling at the same time? He is a demon, he must be in top 10, i mean, he can improvise blues, jazz easily and definitely he can shred

[@samdehnad6407]

Around 730 this is where Genesis got their famous song. I still wonder what Iommi would of sounded like with full fingers. Amazing!

[@shovelrick1]

He experimented with using bass plug on the amp because of loosing his finger tips, maybe better maybe not ???

[@alhazredlapoisse]

Ozzy is so sick on this version! Amazing

[@Marcos19040]

5:18, the parents begin to operate heavy metal ...

[@sergiocortes5275]

INCREIBLE VERSION EN VIVO. Y SOLAMENTE TIENE MAS DE 40 AÑOS DE ESTO. ESTABAN ADELANTADOS A SU TIEMPO.

[@matthewmccord2242]

they need to put this out , the whole recording not just a teaser like Past Lives! Remaster it and put it out Sabbath, just call it, "Sabbath Live 75 @ ASBURYPARK!"

[@MikeyO777]

Matthew mccord agreed. I just spent half hour on iTunes trying to find it...fuck. Someone has to have been able to produce this on an am mp4

[@Tetragrammaton92]

this is the only time i have ever heard this song live and damn its fuckin goood

[@WJHHunterston]

Starting at about 5:35 is stuff from Sabbath I never heard anywhere else. How did they just kick one amazing thing out after another??

[@SatanicWalnut2]

man created a Gibson SG shaped portal to hell right there

[@marcusgontijo]

75 great times...

[@michaelscott2766]

I would love 2 c the video 2 this

[@guitarttimman]

Can you believe that there is always one stupid ass in the bunch who will say that Ozzy was never a good singer? LOL Ozzy was probably the best singer rock has ever known!

[@seanmitchell5438]

+Tim Rubin Halcomb i think theres better singers in rock but he's perfect for this band

[@guitarttimman]

sean mitchell uh no there's not yes he is

[@seanmitchell5438]

i don't know man, roger daltrey, and robert plant are pretty fucking good

[@guitarttimman]

sean mitchell different styles!

[@MadmanOzzy1000]

+Tim Rubin Halcomb I believe Dio was better singer. Ozzy is good enough, but Dio is definitely better singer at all.

[@bigalrei]

So fucking amazing!!!!

[@MrCanWard]

el ritmo que tocan acabando la cancion , es una verdadera Joya!

[@usmessenger7507]

SABBATH WAS, IS MUSIC , THATs IT.

[@robbroz]

Absolutely the best version/gig I´ve heard!!! It´s so incredible hair-raising...lovely lady... Best part in the my all-time-high-nationalhymn :)

[@ColinBrain]

Cool jam at the end of the tune. Even though Ozzy's voice cracks a bit on the high bits a bit, he's brilliant in comparison to the tour they're on now... he really ought to pack it in.

[@guitarttimman]

I love Black Sabbath/w Ozzy

[@blizzarddiaryozzy]

Best thing I've ever heard!

[@KobaYn]

Tomy Iommi is the best !!

[@PZMB666]

man I love these sorts of concerts. the type where the band just plays a song and then just improvises for 20 odd minutes in front of 1000 000 people. like led zeppelin doing dazed and confused or white summer. soo good..

[@blacksabfan]

Right. The three songs from this show appear on "Past Lives" which is a live compilation. The first disc of Past Lives is a remastered version of "Live at Last" and the second disc contains 3 tracks from Asbury Park and a few other tracks from Paris '70 (which is really Belgium '70, but everyone knows it as Paris). It came out in 2002 and is pretty worthless. I'd just get the actual bootlegs. The quality is just as good and the shows aren't broken up.

[@NersII]

Much appreciated blacksabfan. Although, one can hear that Ozzy didn`t really have his best night here, i think this recording is an important part of the Sabbath experience nevertheless! It does shed light on his physical state aka vocals of the mid 70's.

[@thadbrains]

@UncleJimmema That is sad and a shame. Because the the first 4 albums , plus "Garage Days " were incredible.

[@orpapaor]

ozzy is great!!!!!!i prefer his voice much more than dio's!!!

[@markwilson3026]

Always will be metal legends.

[@onetruerock]

pure sabbath

[@GregERobertson]

its interesting to see the evolution o Tony's sols ; from Warning through this then Live Evil then some of the stuff in the past couple of years. plus some early Mythology . .40 plus years of him jammin'

[@susikoira2002]

Some great music , ozzy at his best..

[@canalmarco888]

hahaha ozzy dont need to be on tune cakes,but yeah he sounds out sometimes,"so what?" Everyone in this concert is freaking full of cocaine,weed,beer and everything else,its in the air.

[@felixcoderre6916]

Marco Matos It just sounds bad and it’s happened often

[@blacksabfan]

Yeah. Word just really hasn't made it the majority of the collecting masses. It doesn't help the issue that the Black Sabbath Story Vol. 1 identifies it incorrectly as Paris. There was a good thread about this at Joe Seigler's site that listed clues that proves that it's really Brussels. Plus I think someone actually went to the theatre itself to confirm the location.

[@SoCalFlyer1]

It's also labeled as Paris on Past Lives as well.

[@beserker1912]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!! LISTEN TO THAT WAH WAH THAT GEEZERS GOT GOING!!!!!!!

[@SoCalFlyer1]

So it's been established it's not Paris? I was always curious because people were saying that...

[@Suicidalfamily]

@blacksabfan dude, are you saying that ozzy is singing bad here ? i think it's a great performance.

[@lipsticklezy]

YA GOT that right !! they r my drug :)

[@LittleItaly14301]

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

5:22 Heavy as fuck! Tony Iommi rules the hell out!

[@iggyfritz7150]

Iommi is the greatest guitarist who ever lived PERIOD!

[@ccfliege]

I never heard so much dorrian scale in a Iommi solo

[@The_Wizard846]

ozzy pushed to his absolute limit. so badass!

[@GregERobertson]

yeah . . past lives is basically a rerelease of the pirated Live at Last . Tony's solo there is on Wicked World though from the same period . .

[@blacksabfan]

Downloaded this one. It's pretty common actually. People mislabel it as Philadelphia 8/6/1975. Some of the tracks are on the official release "Past Lives", but most aren't. You can probably find a seeding torrent of it someplace.

[@Handrex354]

Increíble , genial , amo a BLACK SABBATH ❤

[@177988]

epic!

[@nellorockjunk]

Un devastante Bill !!!!!

[@llillo32]

In my point of view,he sang,pretty well for a not easy pitched Up classic, 🎙️🎸

[@Frank332666]

actually THIS version of the song is from Past Lives (2002)

[@fierrote]

Ozzy's voice doesn't sound that great, but take into account the sound quality of the audio. Even Ronnie would have sound bad with this type of technology for recording live music. I bet if you were there live at the concert he sounded good. I like Ozzy's voice here.

[@grinds2003]

Considering I have bootlegs from the Diary of a Madman tour He sounds great here.He only missed a couple of notes.

[@LeKerstman]

@giovannidelcorso i don't think so, he only did it in the studio version. they got a other guy to do it, but i don't know his name

[@kalebdeyoung6936]

Awesome

[@MVDOTTLINGER]

metallica sucks! sabbath is the best! and bill ward is so underrated.

[@ElectronJohnSA]

Metallica's just fine. But I think it's well established that yes, Black Sabbath are superior.

[@GaloDeHaedo]

@@ElectronJohnSA Metallica y sabbath are bands differents, final. Better or wrong it's very relative. Regreats from argentina jajajaja

[@ratsalad5054]

No argument there

[@blacksabfan]

You might want to check a tracklisting again, because it's not.

[@shotguy1]

Jezz Woodroffe does the keyboards

[@gahrzahk]

@JoaoMarceloNemer Ever read Lemmy Kilminster's "White Line Fever"? It's hilarious.

[@UncleJimmema]

I have to agree with Sabfan. Metallica's songs can defiantly be influenced by Black Sabbath, but they have proven themselves to be good song writers, and have made creative riffs not taken from sabbath. The guy below who said they took riffs from A national acrobat and Under the sun is also wrong. I asked him to name a few and I got no response.

[@blacksabfan]

Metallica covered this on Garage Inc.; they didn't really steal it. It's the same song other than Metallica's version has an interlude sampling "A National Acrobat" in the middle.

This is an awesome performance, but that pic of Ozzy is terrible!

[@UncleJimmema]

Yup.

[@homeagent]

Do you know who's on keyboard?

[@UncleJimmema]

Name a few. I mean I don't doubt it, but I just want to know so I can hear them.

[@MrFuNKyToW]

Fucking hard good sound Bks

[@zeppelin1996]

@blacksabfan He sang too well in the studio for his own good.

[@rahulrata]

Rick Wakeman plays the keyboards on the album but i read elsewhere that Ozzy played the keyboard for this one.

[@Frank332666]

Yes that's what I just did. I made a mistake

[@blacksabfan]

Yeah, three power chords dropping down a whole note. That's where the similarities end. I'm flat out amazed how some of you "hear" music. Makes me wonder if you're hearing the same stuff I hear. Most of the time, I would say no.

[@_Jackkv4]

What else would I be hearing, old man?

The riff into 5:20! Search for Cathedral an their song "Ride". It's nearly the same. Good song but they borrowed from mr iommi, it seems ;)

[@paulbetteley2542]

Ozzy was natural raw put all is heart and soul in to singing at to not naturally gifted like dio Rodgers gillen etc I prefer dio bit love Ozzy's as well

[@MalteseCross]

when Metallica does covers, they just take the lyrics and throw everything else, the guitars, the bass, the drum and the talent.

[@rob825]

Or stealing credit from the people playing the instruments in the back while theirs clearly aren't plugged into anything. *cough*jonas brothers*cough*

[@lipsticklezy]

anyonr else hear a Van Halen ripoff of Sabbaths Riff, drums @ 7:38 ?? vanhalen used it for "Everybody wants Some" ...interesting listen to Van Halens //// its stolen from Sabbath WTF !!

[@guddergo7116]

They got " so this is love " from this too

[@Deucealive75]

Nah...Other bands had similar. KISS did this in their song 100,000 years live in early 75. Go to 7:45 of this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3iumYB8ds2ko80

[@sfmag1]

1975 Ok?

[@jesgarcia9556]

Man past present or future couldn't hang with this set up they had it all. No wonder was depressed when he was fired he was like I f. Up i just left tge greatest band in the word only problem was without Ozzy they wete no longer the greatest band in the world . with DIO they weren't black Sabbath no no no they were Heaven n Hell n Ozzy well he was. Just Ozxy Bill knew he didn't want to play in a fake black Sabbath after DIO it should have been called Iommi it wasn't Black Sabbath. This is Black Sabbath like led couldn't be led Zepplin. They were just paul plant n Jimmy n later 13 was geezer ozzy n iommi without Mr. Bill Ward the drummer they had was good but it wasn't Mr. Bill Ward only one drummer fit Black Sabbath n only one singer Ozzy n one bass player Butler n only one guitarist Toni. The greatest band that ever walk the planet earth that's the way i felted when i was seven n later 29 n that's how I feel now God bless us all

[@IceCreamAllTheTime]

who's playing keyboards?

[@guddergo7116]

Shit , vh was a Sabbath tribute band

[@mlmr11]

Metallica copped Sabbath shamelessly They've built entire songs around lifted Sabbath riffs from songs like National Acrobat and Under the Sun

[@giovannidelcorso]

Who does the keyboards here? Rick Wakeman?

[@bobsbiggestfan6281]

The one and only

[@Scarlet666Woman]

[@mmmtomtoddles]

'tallica's version is good too!

[@bls13thmember]

If you wanna talk about lifted songs by Metallica off of Sabbath look no further than Four Horsemen, the opening riff is the same as Children of the grave just slowed down and Nothing Else Matters is one cord different than Fluff. I love Metallica but they wouldn't exsist without Sabbath.
