Black Sabbath - Megalomania (Live in Providence, 1975)

[dangpoon]

Sting me man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[factoryworker222]

Sabbath will never say die , I hope!!!

[Krisaor44]

FUCKING GOOD!! MAN!!! Sabbath  is the true.

[johnstonebreaker]

This is one hell of a song! You practically experience the decent into madness yourself, as you listen.

[speednecromancer666]

MEEEEEEEEEEEETTAAAAAAALL!!

best band ever!!period!!

[madmonk66]

Holy crap. I think it's really cool that people can actually discern between a studio recording and a live recording with whatever technology was available that you could smuggle in. One of my favorite Sabbath tunes. And rendered here.....fucking mind blowing. It sends chills..............

[slutband2002]

Amazing- Toni is a god



[PanosOsbourne]

@blacksabfan is there any live version of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in which Ozzy sings the entire song (and by that i mean that mid section of "doom metal")?

[blacksabfan]

@PanosOsbourne

Not to my knowledge. Supposedly back in late '73, Sabbath performed the song in concert, but no recordings exist of it from that time period. Even then, I can't tell you if he even sang the whole song.

[PanosOsbourne]

@blacksabfan thanks for the information

[ozznutt1967]

Black Sabbath was/is the greatest band of all time. The raw power and talent from them has been unmatched by any other band.

[Simonet25]

OMG...Look at all these Sabbath fans... :D

[IommiSG69]

Epic! thanks for this Dan and blacksabfan!

[5150mick]

aint this just the most accomplished song they ever recorded ?!

[MIKE012318]

best sabbath and and guitar playing totally works

[sabfan66]

one over used word but appropiate here - awesome!

[troutmask1970]

not comparing bands but check out Queen Boston Rhapsody 75. The quality is superb and queen had a bit of umph to em. never heard sabbath play these tunes!! awesome!!

[epicblogofdoom]

this is the best live version of the best if not second best (next to wheels of confusion/the straghtner) song ever. its amazing, thank you blacksabfan.

[hardclarke]

lots of dummys here, this is poetry!

[MrThrashingmad666]

Im amazed!

[gl797]

imo the greatest song ever written. I can't believe how incredible they sound here. Ozzy in his prime was the greatest...noone came close.

I wish the studio version had that guitar solo at the end.

[leddhed]

How did my fantasies take complete control?

[WICD1969]

@blacksabfan kiss was to SABBATH in the seventies what crue was to MAIDEN in the eighties. A bunch of make-up wearing posers void of any worthwhile musical accomplishments (with the exceptions of "Parasite" and "She") vs. the greatest band of the decade.

[dergangedchipmunk]

ozzy osbourne is the best eva

[Lauv]

Ozzy is really pushing his voice to the limit here. Wonderful recording!

[Rockmaster2112]

Did I mention how much i love you?

[PaulBarte]

Awesome man. Thanks for the great channel.

[jkenney16]

SUCK ME!

[TheBigDickInYourAss]

black sabbath

[grazikorr]

Just downloaded the whole concert :D thanks Dan Lampinski the man! ;d

[cimillof87]

this is awsome

[JayPC21]

Epic. Thanks for posting this up.

[sabbathtribute]

I need this recording in it's entirety

[666nokia666]

Thanks man, I'm downloading the show right now!

[Mustachhe]

jesus man i got 2 get this album

[phishhed44]

Thanks Dan...this is awesome!!!!!

[cecildemonslayer]

This version blows the studio one away....and i find it a little more energetic than the Asbury Park performance...which was only a few days later.

Was this song never performed after the Sabotage tour?? Shame if so....because this is one of the all time underrated Sabbath gems!!!

[CoonMike]

It was hard for Ozzy to sing it

[MultiMiracleMan]

It is a hard song for even the best singers

[ecfnw9]

sabotage is the best!

[lemmyleo]

"Master of Reality" and "Sabotage" are the blue prints for metal. Both albums still are "state of the art". Especially the A-side of "Sabotage" is absolutely genious.

[Solpugid]

Wow. I taped them during the same tour, but apparently, my tape recorder bites.  Bravo, Dan.

[blacksabfan]

What show did you tape?

[Solpugid]

Las Vegas, Nevada, 1975.

[blacksabfan]

Do you still have it? As far as I know, that show has never appeared in the trade pool.

[Gandhiablo]

From Sabotage

[Shaman2401]

Awesome Ozzy Na Tony Lommi.

One of Black Sabbaths best songs.

the lyrics are the best!!

Thanks

[doctornerve]

Beyond cool. THANKS!

[turbotruciolo]

oh man, i have tons of bootleg and mean tons. i've been close also to early morning but i didn't even know about the existence of this.

where did you get this from?

if you can post the entire boot please.

killer post thank you so much

[grazikorr]

This is really awesome!

I beg you blacksabfan, if there is any possibility you could get hold of some other tracks from this concert, you should upload them! Supernaut and Spiral Architecht for example, I'd love to hear a full live version of Supernaut, especially in this quality! I really dig your videos rock on ;)!

[GeeZeRWoD]

Omg the greatest band ever i love them so much !!!!!!

[kdkkdkdd]

If there are ANY pictures of THIS show please contact me.

[Destino68]

Well I'll be! This rivals the Asbury Park show both in terms of sound quality AND performance! Never thought I'd see the day! I'll have to hunt the whole thing down...

[JTerrible63]

THE SUBLIMITY OF THIS & OTHER VERSIONS (BUT ESP.THIS ONE) SHOWS HOW TRULY GREAT THE SABS WERE: THIS WORK IS A MASTERPIECE THAT COMPEL RICHARD WAGNER'S

AWE. Black Sabbath invented a "genre"

but it's too bad few of the bands even try to live upto the Sabbath----they really are pomp-loaded-heavy metal muddleheads...none of those bands come 1/10th close to this song, WHEEL Lord or Void, or Symptom, etc poor Metallica all they can do is SUE THEIR OWN FANS,

if they have any left...

[ccfliege]

Kiss aren't musicians, those guys are just businessmen

[WICD1969]

Another killer post from BSF!

[Diopriest]

killer post blacksabfan /,,//,,/ and thanks to mr. lampinski for taping this gem.

[larriatota]

Que buena cancion es bien dificil encontrarla en vivo suerte gracias

[dopemixx]

Got this show about a week ago, and must say it's been great listening to this one. Kinda reminds me of the Lund quality but better (if that makes sense). Ozzy's vocal fumble in this performance keeps this particular track almost perfect as far as the live versions are concerned. Awesome recording!!!!

[hoolrool]

Awesome! Thanks for posting!

[BillWard1990]

damn this recording has the best quality than any other Sabbath 70's live

[whothefucisgaunt]

Another great post. This song is easily one of Sabbath's bests. A real shame it wasn't played live again in later tours. Perhaps, the rhythm section in later lineups couldn't quite nail it or the singer at the time found it difficult.  Can't say I blame them, some of the vocal parts are very difficult to reproduce every night.

[blacksabfan]

I'll consider posting a few more songs from this on here, but I probably won't be posting the entire gig in my blog. There's other places you can get it from, and frankly I just don't see a need.

I will consider uploading some older shows I have though to my blog.

[Diopriest]

I wanted to ask you do you know if the writ was ever played live on this tour that's another killer track.

[waystedkiss]

I can do everyone better ! I was there ! Do you know who opened for them ? Hint: Four letters in thier name.......

[blacksabfan]

It was KISS (obviously), and their set was also uploaded at the same time. I've never been much of a KISS fan though.

And no Diopriest, "The Writ" was never performed live. Too bad, it would of been killer.

[waystedkiss]

I love sabbath and Lizzy saw both many times. Sabbath on technical ecstasy is still the only Major act I've seen which walked off and did no encore (they were booed quite savagely for that) Montrose opened up for them that tour ! Saw Sabbath with Gillan, Hughes, Martin and of course DIO. Saw Heaven & Hell twice, have met DIO twice, in his dressing room and it was about 4:20 if you know what I mean ? Have many autograped items from him.

[waystedkiss]

if anyone was @ that Tech, Ex tour in Prov. please confirm the walkoff with no encore ! Saw Floyd, Zep, the Who, Stones ok ok your tired of me now....hahaha look @ my page I like much more than KISS !

[waystedkiss]

Saw DIO with RAINBOW three times, DIO as a solo 8-9 times, have Doug Aldrich's autograph as well as Jimmy Bains and Simon Wright. Has crew passes when H&H played Mohegan Sun in CT.Met and have Iommi's and Butlers autographs as well.

[Diopriest2]

i went to the mohegan sun shows they were killer were you at the wallingford one too ?

[waystedkiss]

Saw Lizzy open for Queen on Day at the races tour with Gary Moore, saw them on CHINATOWN tour in a club in Hartford, saw them(kinda) a few yrs back opening for Satriani & Purple ! Saw OZZY on Blizzard tour with Rhoads and many times since ! Why is it obvious that it was KISS that open that Aug. night in '75 where the general concensious was they were blown off the stage, and I LOVE SABBATH have EVERYTHING they ever recorded as well as LIZZY ! Whats your history ?

[waystedkiss]

SAW SABBATH on Heaven & Hell tour(where Sammy Hagar opened, stayed @ the same Hotel that night the Prov. marriot, where I met Geezer @ the ice machine in his underwear,saw Hagar in the lobby and got his autograph)), Mob rules tour, LIVEEVIL etc. etc could go on all night ! Most of this happened before you were born ! I was 14 on Aug, 3rd '75 ! Your personal experiences ?

[Diopriest2]

i'll say sabotage is such an underrated album. It is one of my favorites from that lineup.

[raiderbri]

agreed!!!!!

[Sepultallica86]

@blacksabfan Sabotage is probably the most underrated album i can think of, technical ectasy is fuckin badass too, not much people like it tho.

[WICD1969]

@blacksabfan kiss was to SABBATH in the seventies what crue was to MAIDEN in the eighties. A bunch of make-up wearing posers void of any worthwhile musical accomplishments (with the exceptions of "Parasite" and "She") vs. the greatest band of the decade.

[markootchie]

@blacksabfan as a far as i know doing some research kiss only did 4 shows with sabbath all in 1975

[blacksabfan]

@markootchie

Trying my best not to sound like an ass, but...eh I just gave up...

I found that out in approximately 5.6 seconds. Give or take 0.2 seconds. Oh, and that "research" was done at least 3 years ago, between a game of online mastermind and filling out a job application.

Nevermind that never once mentioned that they did a full tour with Kiss or made any statement that implies they played with them on anything besides this show, which makes your point even more irrelevant.

[markootchie]

@blacksabfan Oh trying my best not to sound like an ass eh well it looks you gave up because you are an ass considering that i didn't say anything bad or stupid about kiss,sabbath or you in the first place and i did my research back in 2002 from the kiss alive history tour book you should check it out

[blacksabfan]

@markootchie

Dude, I don't give a fuck about Kiss. Kiss really has nothing to do with this video.

I also don't give a fuck how many times Sabbath did or didn't play with Kiss, but if I wanted to know, it's on Seigler's Sabbath website.

Plus, if you're going to type everything as one giant assfuck of a sentence, don't even comment to me...or anywhere...just turn off your computer and throw it out the window. Please. Thanks.

[killerdugong]

can you post more songs from this gig please?

[OzzFreak666]

damn good rec of this

[belgiumstefan]

Best riff ever!!!

[myownservant]

I prefer Asbury Park, but this is an awesome recording. Thanks alot sabfan, I'm downloading this bootleg as we speak.

[redbirdfan126]

You're absolutely right. Easily one of the best Sabbath live recordings possibly EVER. It may have a leg up on Asbury Park, IMHO. Definitely have to grab the rest of the show. Are you, by chance, going to post the rest, perhaps?

[Ozzmosis22]

Wow!!!!!

This is beautiful !!!

Thank you, for this insane material.

[bkrbtlg08]

Great song...and good recording. I just found this on disc...I think I shall pick it up! Thanks for uploading.

[tmobil8]

Wow how cool thank you, first time hearing this live after all these years. :-)) Thanks again for the upload!

[ss4542001]

Wow! Thanks for the post .

[DoomMetalSludge]

DAMN! This is amazing! Post more from this show!!!! Please!

[ozzy554]

this performance is better than asbury PARK!!

p.s FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT IT ITS ON THE GUITARS101 FORUMS

[iconosphereuk]

Fantastic stuff !!! Indeed, that quality is great.

[planetcaravan72]

This is insane - I mean the quality. Thanks for sharing this. I'm on Google now...
