This era of Sabbath always deserved a documentary for all its strange beginning and ending. The fans love the 7th Star album.

[@seventhstar]

I think that concert footage with Glenn Hughes is from Public Hall in Cleveland. I was there! March 21st 1986. WASP was opening up for Sabbath in support of their Last Command album. I was a senior in high school. And I couldn't believe my parents allowed me to go to this concert on a date with my girlfriend at the time - Terri. My parents are very old school Catholic folks, so bands like Sabbath were not on their approval list. lol Needless to say, I love my parents, and this album sparks a memory of one of thee most important times of my life!

You lucky Bastard! I’ve seen Glenn live many times, first time in 2000. I’m right up front in the live from the city of Angels DVD. Seventh star is the album that introduced me to Glenn. I didn’t realize when I was listening to purple, that was him doing the high end for David. funny though, when I first put this album on, I thought “this isn’t Sabbath“, and shelved it for about a year. Then I couldn’t get enough of it! (There is some live audio of GH on my channel)🤘

[@seventhstar]

Seventh Star is how I first learned of who Glenn Hughes was myself. And I remember many of my piers who touted Black Sabbath for many years not being avid fans of this record. I immediately fell in love with this album as I have many others. To me, it is one of the all time great albums of my time here on earth 🌎

[@trowerz]

@@seventhstar you might enjoy this, if you don’t know of it. A truly great “lost” album!! Feinstein on guitar (The Rodz, Dio’s cousin) and Mr.John West on vox! I think it it masterfully produced🤘 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6izdodrlsh_fKMsi=6BQVTwW3V_pJDjg2

[@Vonklink6741]

Great doc! And what an album for Tony, man I love his playing on it!

[@WeGachaMetal]

Love this documentary! I owned this album AND cassette when it came out. I loved Hughes vocals on that record. In retrospect, Tony should’ve hired Ray Gillen and stuck with him.

[@EdwardBaggettEdtrader]

Iommi tried but Ray left.

[@earthepoch6488]

Gillen has a dark history

[@thelegendofeli3887]

Tony Martin superior singer

I was lucky enough to see Tony and Glenn reunited in 2011 at the Ronnie James Die tribute show at the London High Voltage festival. It was a very hot day and just before the band came on, the sky turned black and dark clouds rolled in. You couldn't make it up and I think it was Ronnie saying hello.

[@trowerz]

That was professionally shot on video if I’m not mistaken. Where the heck is that video?!

Eric Singer is awesome on this LP❤

Ozzy was the best. Not easy to add energy to dark music

[@davidball5002]

I bought Seventh Star when it first came out and loved it straight away. Still do.

[@j800r_aswell]

Glenn is and was fantastic live. The tour supporting Seventh Star is the only live footage I have seen where he's really struggled live. I'm inclined to believe Glenn's story. No way in hell is Glenn a "studio singer".

[@azureblue1442]

Seventh Star featured the best bassist in the world Dave “The Beast” Spitz. Sabbath was very fortunate to convince The Beast to leave Great White to be a part of Sabbath.

[@LEEFORDJAGG]

Thank you for putting this documentary together. I’m a fan of the Hughes/Gillen/Martin era. All fine singers. I still hope that Tony Iommi will play some shows with Glenn Hughes,under a different name.

[@EdwardBaggettEdtrader]

Thank you for watching

💯!!! I heard that Sabbath with Ray, live at Hammersmith was professionally recorded on video?!😳

I love the album, great documentary

Cool video i member this situation was all over music news back then.I was in high school saw the tour when it came to San Antonio.Remember being blown away by Ray Gillen's voice.

[@EdwardBaggettEdtrader]

Thank you watching. Checkout my other Sabbath videos on my channel!!!!!

[@RSBurgener]

I was able to get this album, brand new, on red vinyl from Rollin' Records. I don't know where it came from, but it's one of my prized possessions. Seventh Star is one of my favorite albums of all time, and if I could've kept any incarnation of Sabbath around longer, it would've been this one. Drug addiction is a beast that just can't be tamed by other people, it can only be conquered by the person themselves. And that did happen, thankfully, for Glenn. But at that point, a decade had passed. The DEP sessions is a great, but it's just not the same as Seventh Star. Its time had come and gone. Eternal Idol is a close as we got!

[@KP-fg1ux]

I saw them on this tour. W.a.s.p opened for them.

[@elinino5275]

I love this album! Wish had a bettwr bass player

[@markrobert205]

Wish Glenn would have played bass on this one. Bass on Danger Zone is not very good.

[@FortessofShred]

I've heard Iommi state in an interview that Michael Bolton auditioned.

[@mickblack3291]

Glenn Hughes: ' l got addicted to Cocaine' then sniffs😂 this is a really good album at the end of the day.

[@harrynewiss4630]

Glenn's 80s hair is a blast

Same style as Elaine Benes from Seinfeld.

Pies?

[@TheChadTI]

Saw the last Glen show (Worcester Mass.) No encore, and Glenn really struggled. He dogged Quadafi 😄in his stage rap. The stage set was AWESOME, and Anthrax killed it.

[@axxellein]

TRES Cool/Heavy

[@risingfr]

The Fenholt demo (and the other with Geezer band) are still not officially reelased :(

[@t.m.g.7348]

All due respect, it is very much incorrect to call this " not a Black Sabbath album" as various people do in this documentary, as it set the blueprint for all Sabbath albums with Tony Martin in the following years...and listen to Tony Iommi's guitar riffs, 100 % as heavy as ever.... 7th Star is more Sabbath than, say, Technical Ecstasy from the acclaimed Ozzy era.....I believe though that Glenn Hughes may have felt displaced at times, but he also did a great job on this album ....The comments on Eric Singer's drumming are nonsense, he is heavy as f.... on this and the Eternal Idol...

[@EdwardBaggettEdtrader]

Need opposing views to balance out a documentary.

[@shovedhead]

Iommi must have endured a lot of migraines during that period in his career.

[@EdwardBaggettEdtrader]

Well, he has said he still snorted a little CokeACola at this time

[@shovedhead]

@@EdwardBaggettEdtrader for sure

[@thomasb2252]

I was hoping it was mentioned but i saw this tour in NY with Ray Gillian and he lost his voice they finished the show playing instrumental on snd off i didn't care i was 19 and it was a fun time

[@EdwardBaggettEdtrader]

I'm going to do a Ray in Sabbath documentary and I'll bring that in. Feel free to give me any details you wish to include.

[@philwright2480]

Gillen

[@exitthelemming145]

The only real unanswered question from these pitiful Sabbath 'franchise' years is how many more people would have gladly queued up to take a swing at both Glenn Hughes and Ian Gillan. The Melody Maker's Allan Jones might also have opined there was 'bad blood' between himself and the 'Tonester' thug. Sabbath was effectively dead in the water after the execrable 'Technical Ecstasy' in '76 and although Geezer, Tony and Dio did some great stuff in the 80's it wasn't remotely in the Sabbath canon.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

I'm a big fan of Keel and I'm so glad he wasn't in Sabbath. It just doesn't sound right.

[@user-xb8bg7eu4p]

The record store didnt want my keel albums even for free.

[@thesgkiddave]

I wished Ray would have stayed in the band longer.

[@EdwardBaggettEdtrader]

They wanted him to. But things happen.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

I'm glad he didn't. I liked him better in Badlands. And I really enjoy Tony Martin

[@marcelojavierlovera6130]

Ray Guillen was the best voice SABBATH ever had, he could sing any track ever recorded by the band and make it sound so good, but then we know you also need to be a good frontman and to be a good songwriter too. SEVENTH STAR had songs no other singer could sing that well, GLENN did a great job.

[@markcloer2274]

I tend to agree with you, at least in the live setting. I am Tony Martin's biggest fan, but Ray was simply phenomenal on stage. He seemed so at ease and sang every era's material the way it deserved. Would have loved to have heard him tackle something from "Born Again".

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

Thanks Ed i just subscribed you have great content thanks

Its good but sounds like DP. Doesnt sound luke BS. The best singer for BS was Tony Martin

[@lovehategoddie]

Given the body of work of sabbath between 1970 and 1982, I don’t see subsequent work as note worthy . I did like TYr , but it’s certainly not on 5he same footing as say, Sabotage. I don’t think Iommi ever found the right formulae . To some extent these forays by Iommi diminished the name, but it was quickly forgotten by 1999 with reunion. For me Iommi’s best work is the early mid 70s. for me Iommi’s guitar needs to be paired with Ozzy, even For me, Dio was not as suitable as Ozzy . I liked songs like megalomania and killing youself to live; not country girl. The production values of the 80s differed from the 70s, and didn’t suit the sabbath sound, it became too processed and groomed. Having said that, Dio did reinvent Sabbath, just like Rhodes reinvented Ozzy. RIP RJD.

[@mrmaxaxl]

Nah. Heaven and Hell, Born Again, Eternal Idol and Headless Cross were all great albums! I prefer 80´s production to 70´s.
