This is pretty much "Tony Iommi Solo Band" with Glenn Hughes. The disc label band name was "Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi" only because of the record label pressure. Really it should'd been "Iommi", just as with "Fused"
Hi, yeah it is Glenn with every note. You can hear it easily. I'am a big fan of Ian Gillan and Glenn Hughes. I like Dio, Tony Martin and Ozzy. They all have have their special kind and I like to hear their songs all sung by themselves. I swear that Glenn didn't like to sing the Ozzy songs but he had to.
Ian Gillan ist really great on "Born Again" but the Ozzy songs sound best with Ozzy an the Dio songs best with Dio.
there is a bootleg of War Pigs from this show and Glenn completely kills it. he forgets the lyrics to and doesn't sing most of the last verse and the guy next to the guy recording says "come on Glenn, dont fuck this up" in a way similar to the way you talk when your waiting for someone to get the hell out of the bathroom.
@frentzen100 I know he sang them live, but would be better if he didn't. A lot of Ozzy fans hate other vocalists, and the Seventh Star album is so perfect that there is no need for other songs.
@cubby3o5 Glenn had some health problems with his nose during the tour so he sang quite bad. That's why he was replaced by Ray Gillen after few concerts. Ray sang those song much better, but i have to say Glenn wasn't 100% healthy so it's ok.

This is 100 % NOT Glenn Hughes but rather another great singer from the sabs from The Black Country, Tony Martin. Now even with a bad sound ( I'm sure it sounded better from the gig) he sounds great. As a friend of the band, I met him in Rio, Sao Paulo Buenos Aeros on what could have been this KISS tour. THIS IS TONY MARTIN
Relax Buddy. Take it easy OK, if you call yourself a fan you need know the difference between singers, although I'm sure Tony Martin ( as good as he is) doesnt mind the odd Glen Hughes mix up. Even So Relax dude. peace Out.
@sunpower4u glenn ain't a frontman. He's better as a bassist/singer. having just spent the equivilent of $450 on his l/ed autobiography [the life and near death of a rock star] its apparent that during his dark period [80-96] he was a 'jobbing' musician. This, as well as the liason with gary moore were mistakes [g.m still holds a grudge so glenn told me].
@sunpower4u / I own a bootleg of this tour when the were in Montreal. This is def Glenn Hughes. A little heavier that we are use to seeing. If you doubt this is him check out the Seventh Star videos that they did for MTV and you can see this is the same look.

Awesome! I was at this show! It was definitely Glenn. He got fired right after this show and Ray Gillen took his place for the rest of the tour. Tony Martin didn't come in till after that.
This is glenn hughes black sabbath. Tony Martin is a crooner. Hughes always screams during his vocal runs. Great great album though. Martin is great on Eternal Idol.
Oh forget you. I purchased the record. I'm a computer idiot. Never 'downloaded' anything myself. I understand C.D.s are shit because they skip over time. I have a P. V.R. that played for awhile. I have mentioned this to people and I guess their players never skip. There is a reason why record shops are closing down and C.D. sales are lessened. Tell you this. I will never buy another C.D. I have the original on tape and guess what. It NEVER skips.
That's not Glenn Hughes... the guy is Tony Martin... he replaced Ray Gillen who'd replaced Glenn Hughes... and... well... you know the story better than me.
@ricaamaral Sorry... this is a very overweight and bearded (and addicted) glenn hughes. If that high scream he does did'nt tip you off that it was'nt martin then I do'nt know what to tell you.
Yeah this is Glenn Hughes doing one of the very few shows with Sabbath. His voice was messed up cause he got punched in the face by one of the band's security guards cause Glenn was high and wouldn't come down. To make matters worse was that the punch messed up his vocal chords and nasal passage which needed surgery, he didn't have time to fix it cause of the tour and he did what he could till he let go and replaced by then unkown Ray Gillen.
A hughes lo corrieron de sabbath por que andaba muy metido en drogas y no rendia en el escenario y se le olvidaban las letras, de hecho geoff nichols el tecladista le hacia segunda para que no hubiese silencios cuando hughes se le atoraba la rata en la cabeza, lastima pues era una buena alineacion.
That Glenn Hughes doesn't look like the Deep Purple Glenn Hughes!!!!! I did not believe it was him until I bought the cd and his name was there! It is not a matter of ageing or not he looks like a completely different person!
The great Glenn Hudges, a master, was involved with drugs at this time. Without his bass guitar, he did not know how to stay on stage. And he got punched by a roadcrew, and injured his vocal cords. Beside of it all, it´s always a pleasure watch master Iommi playing one of the best songs ever wrotenn of Black Sabbath...
He had his face punched in by a bodyguard working for the band cause Glenn was high and instead of stopping Glenn from hurting himself he punched Glenn and he never got it fixed till he was asked to leave mid way through the tour.
I haven't watched all of this, but that is not Glenn Hughes singing, this guy couldn't look at Glenn Hughes, they are in a different stratosphere vocally.
Jesus, what a mess. It sounds like someone has slashed his vocal chords. I would have never thought that this was GH singing, but on closer study I can hear in the some of the lower tones that it is him. This must have been in his Mars Bar addiction stage ! His voice is really poor here and the band ain't much better. They sound like they are just going through the motions.

I think its ausome that hughes gave his life to God. Their isnt a single person in thia whole world that God cant change, unless that person doesnt want changed. I partied on and off for about 27 years and God saved my soul, delivered me from drugs booze and cigs. God is ausome if youll give him the chance to help you.
I had tickets to see this tour, in Kalamazoo, Michigan...and it was cancelled after Glenn's ongoing drug/behavioural/getting punched by John Downing problems. I was gutted. "Seventh Star" is still one of my favourite albums but it was never meant to be a Black Sabbath album. Record company BS. It's wonderful that Glenn and Tony Iommi are friends again, that Hughes is healthy, and that they're recording again.
Some of the shows were cancelled even when Glenn was "healthy" because of low sales; some t-shirts of the tour had Iommi on the front and WASP on the back, and the posters almost even made it look like a co-headliner setup.
A lot of it had to do with the animus fans felt about it being called "Black Sabbath", which is well documented on this page, so they needed a strong opener; and it still wasn't enough sometimes.
Funny thing is, if Iommi, Hughes and Singer toured now, it would draw well!!!
Yeah, good point...he still sounds good here, but he's obviously a wreck. Nice to see he's cleaned up. Somebody's got the video for "No Stranger to Love" up here too.
Shame too, because this album was mismarketed and not promoted...
If Tony had been able to call it a solo record, or a new "supergroup" it would have done better. Eric had already played for Alice Cooper, and with Glenn's DP background, it would have been possible, that whole supergroup thing was big at that time.
Poor Glenn had a serious throat problem and had to have a scrape soon after this. After being hit he had congealed blood in his throat which is why he sounds so bad here. As pump35 and t1019faulkner are saying, don't use this to measure Glenns talent as he's singing some of the best vocals of his career nowadays. Check him out live, Glenn is The Voice of rock for a good reason!
" There was a tour for the album, but Hughes only performed at the first few shows. His voice had noticeably deteriorated after a fight with Sabbath's Production manager had left the singer with an injury to his sinuses and throat ".
And he found out about being fired before Iommi told him. I read an interview and the way he found out. A drunk guy at a party came up to him and said, "Did you hear Black Sabbath has a new singer?"
Before that, Glenn didn't know why Ray Gillen had been hanging out with the band, but then it all made sense.
No, this is just the second one. He did at least 3 more after this...each one worse than the last. Glenn was canned after the Worcester show on 3/26/86. The Detroit show was on 3/22.
As a person who was at this show(as well as my soon to be 23 year old daughter who my ex was pregnant with) and was following Sabbath very closely at the time, I knew this wasn't his last show. The tour schedule can also be accessed on line, which will confirm
blacksabfan's statements. This was a great show, and had W.A.S.P. opening for them. Both sets were great. Wasp having all these heads on poles, and and Sabbaths stairway to heaven and Hell.....Great memories.
I think by using the name Black Sabbath Tony actually shot himself in the foot because hardly anybody (including myself) accepted the name Black Sabbath with him as the only original member. It's my understanding that the group was supposed to be called Seventh Star and due to pressure from record company and management he called it Black Sabbath. Too bad, lots of good music wasn't given a chance because of that. IMHO.
Yeah. During this time (mid-1980's) he was said to have a pretty heavy coke problem, plus he put on the weight by pigging out all the time on Mars candy bars...if you believe the rumours. I do have 'Fuzed' and think it is a GREAT heavy record. Can anyone confirm that 'Fuzed' is actually the music that was to be released as 'Eighth Star'? or is there another album out there with Tony and Glenn collaborating? I have to know, cuz I would love to hear more from these two greats.
no. fused was released a a couple of years ago. new music with glenn and tony. you want to buy iommi/hughes. which was recorded in the 80's. that is the one you want. it is unreal. better than 7th star.
Glenn's pretty overweight here,and his voice was damaged after being punched in the eye,damaging the socket socket.He doesn't look too healthy here,probably due to his much publicized problems as well. A shame, he's an amazing talent when healthy.
During this time his voice couldn't stand the huge cocain addiction Glenn was traped in. After Sabbath tour (that Glenn jumped of due to his addiction) he didin't sing much more until 1992 on John Norum's album "Face The Truth" where Glenn did most of the lead vocals and wrote lyrics. He had then left his cocain abuse and become a believer.
Glenn was the lead vocalist of Sabbath at the time, and he was "co-lead" vocalist with David Coverdale and played base guitar in Deep purple 1973 (end of) - 1976. He was also in Trapeze, phenomena, and so on and is known as the voice of rock!
In my humble opinion Seventh Star is a Class A heavy metal album. Whether under the 'Black Sabbath' or 'Tony Iommi' monicker the music is heavy and inspirational. Tony Iommi is an experienced guitarist and delivered some fine riffs and solos on this album. Glenn Hughes fitted the music well. However (unfortunately)it was not the same during live playing. Thanks for sharing this clip.
hot video! my names Allison, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ FriendlyFlirts(.COM) __ my user ID there is Allison_dqtkpvodcua chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah
I was at this concert. WASP opened (I think there was another band before them, but I didn't get to Cobo until after WASP started their set). Was so disappointed with the singing. Too many songs were screwed up. The music was great, so it wasn't a total loss.
I saw them also on this tour only in New York(Nassau Colisium). W.A.S.P opened also and kicked ass. Ray gillian just started on tour and did a great job. I was bumbed because Glenn Hughes is my favorite singer. but hearing a few live songs from this 1986 tour you can really hear Glenn struggle and at times sound down-right terrible. What a shame, Ironicly this show was in Detroit were I now live 60 miles from in the Port Huron area.
The Hughes-Thrall album, plus several of his '90s solo albums - From Now On, e.g. - are very popular with Hughes' fans. I prefer his first album with Iommi - The Dep Sessions, a.k.a. Eighth Star. Burn, Stormbringer, and Made in Europe are by the best band ever, so no argument there! This should not have been billed as Black Sabbath, but is interesting anyway. Thanks!
this is not sabbath, ill give you two reasons, one he just doesnt have the voice for sabbath, only ozzy, dio and gillan did, and two this album was meant to be a tony iommi solo album
Of Course Glenn Hughes is an excellent Bassist/Vocalist but his early departure from Black Sabbath was his own fautlt. He tried to boss Tony around and control the band so they took care of him. Ray Gillen finished up the tour, but sadly he was taken a couple of year after
Stevie Wonder sings Sabbath, who would have thunk it? Even when not at his best nobody will follow Glenn on stage. The greatest voce on rock, pop, funk or soul. He should have been he biggest solo star ever Sly Stone meets Sabbath LOL
Are you insane?! Glenn Hughes is by far, the greatest rock singer ever. This little stint with Iommi was his lowest point in his career. He and Ray Gillen were very under rated singers.
Black Sabbath is a Legend and we love them. Everyone should listen to them. They are one of our biggest influences. Our band Amaggot Bordir owes alot to them. We just added a new video today on my profile if anyone wants to hear something new and heavily influenced by Sabbath.
Lo maximo glenn.. pero aca ta cagao.. x una bronca q tubo en un bar ese dia.. y ta con la sangre en la parte nasal.. y x eso no canta como deberia.. grande .. glenn..!!!
Glen Hughes is a great singer and one of rocks major icons.He has played with amazing musicians and if he ever comes to your town for a show you would be totally nuts to miss it.On his day this boy sure can sing the blues.
ha, erm he worked with a band called Deep Purple as well as with Iommi, I heard that Purple was quite popular, y'know california jam and that, you are a fucking retard.
and he was the bass player for the band and even that track record was mixed.1 monster(burn) and 2 turds.plus his yelping during smoke on the water from cal jam was a bit silly.why is everyone so defensive,he's a ok singer who has never "sang"on a album that any rock fan cares about
burn, stormbringer, seventh star, some of the trapeze stuff, come taste the band, stuff with Iommi. loads of rock fans love that stuff, even if he didn't sing lead vocals on them he wrote songs and played bass.....people care! Glenn is very very talented!
Don't ever forget the excellent singing Glenn Hughes in that often overlooked band Trapeze. I can't find any Trapeze on You-Tube, but what a great band it was! That was pre-Deep Purple for Hughes.
Glenn Hughes was and is among the best rock singers but had some issues during this time period. He is long over that now and has put out some incredible stuff. Check out 'BURNING JAPAN LIVE' if you can find a copy; it is a must-have. Thx for posting this clip; most of us did not catch a Sabbath show with Glenn as the frontman. I seem to recall that he was replaced after the sixth show of the tour.
Would be sooo interesting to watch a Sabbath gig with Glenn Hughes on vocals NOW, as he´s in a much better condtion then these days!Always hoped that Iommi and Hughes would start a tour after the release of their album some years ago, but ...?!The album SEVENTH STAR is great anyway!!
Glen Hughes was in a bar fight with the manager a week before the tour started for hittihg on his girlfriend. He ended up with blood clots in his throat that had to be scraped off his vocal cords! He was replaced a week later by Ray Gillen, and Glen knew he couldn't go any farther. All live songs I've heard from that tour are awful, but Glen is known as "The Voice Of Rock" worldwide. Check out my vid for "Heart Like a Wheel" to hear him for real!
Happens to the best. Sebastian Bach, W.P.Beach FLA in 2000. Dio too, in Europe, Angry Machines tour. Tony Martin too, Cross Pursoses Live, and Bruce Dickinson, A Real Dead One. Don't trash a singer for having a bad few nights. Glenn's great. Listen to Seventh Star, the Deep Purple albums or Humanary Stew (Alice Cooper Tribute).
Poor Glenn, imagine hearing yourself like that and still having to do the show, how embarassing! If you're listenig to him for the first time, he's obviously sick here.
@JosephKuby Have to agree with that. Bit chunky in this video, though. Looks like Roseanne Barr. And yes, I've heard Iron Man, when he forgets the lyrics. Really, really bad.

Yeah, good point...he still sounds good here, but he's obviously a wreck. Nice to see he's cleaned up. Somebody's got the video for "No Stranger to Love" up here too.
Shame too, because this album was mismarketed and not promoted...
If Tony had been able to call it a solo record, or a new "supergroup" it would have done better. Eric had already played for Alice Cooper, and with Glenn's DP background, it would have been possible, that whole supergroup thing was big at that time.

Poor Glenn had a serious throat problem and had to have a scrape soon after this. After being hit he had congealed blood in his throat which is why he sounds so bad here. As pump35 and t1019faulkner are saying, don't use this to measure Glenns talent as he's singing some of the best vocals of his career nowadays. Check him out live, Glenn is The Voice of rock for a good reason!

Please splain Lucy...Did Glenn get punched in the throat or something ?

Nevermind bassvoxguy. I found it. I never knew.
" There was a tour for the album, but Hughes only performed at the first few shows. His voice had noticeably deteriorated after a fight with Sabbath's Production manager had left the singer with an injury to his sinuses and throat ".
ReneeNme 2 years ago
And he found out about being fired before Iommi told him. I read an interview and the way he found out. A drunk guy at a party came up to him and said, "Did you hear Black Sabbath has a new singer?"
Before that, Glenn didn't know why Ray Gillen had been hanging out with the band, but then it all made sense.

This is Glenn Hughes. He was fired after this show. Ray Gillen was hired pretty soon after this show.

As a person who was at this show(as well as my soon to be 23 year old daughter who my ex was pregnant with) and was following Sabbath very closely at the time, I knew this wasn't his last show. The tour schedule can also be accessed on line, which will confirm
blacksabfan's statements. This was a great show, and had W.A.S.P. opening for them. Both sets were great. Wasp having all these heads on poles, and and Sabbaths stairway to heaven and Hell.....Great memories.

I think by using the name Black Sabbath Tony actually shot himself in the foot because hardly anybody (including myself) accepted the name Black Sabbath with him as the only original member. It's my understanding that the group was supposed to be called Seventh Star and due to pressure from record company and management he called it Black Sabbath. Too bad, lots of good music wasn't given a chance because of that. IMHO.

So that's why he sounds so different on "Fused" and stuff like that?
NaughtyJesus 3 years ago
Yeah. During this time (mid-1980's) he was said to have a pretty heavy coke problem, plus he put on the weight by pigging out all the time on Mars candy bars...if you believe the rumours. I do have 'Fuzed' and think it is a GREAT heavy record. Can anyone confirm that 'Fuzed' is actually the music that was to be released as 'Eighth Star'? or is there another album out there with Tony and Glenn collaborating? I have to know, cuz I would love to hear more from these two greats.
3rdgradetwice 3 years ago
no. fused was released a a couple of years ago. new music with glenn and tony. you want to buy iommi/hughes. which was recorded in the 80's. that is the one you want. it is unreal. better than 7th star.

Glenn's pretty overweight here,and his voice was damaged after being punched in the eye,damaging the socket socket.He doesn't look too healthy here,probably due to his much publicized problems as well. A shame, he's an amazing talent when healthy.
wwahc1964 3 years ago
During this time his voice couldn't stand the huge cocain addiction Glenn was traped in. After Sabbath tour (that Glenn jumped of due to his addiction) he didin't sing much more until 1992 on John Norum's album "Face The Truth" where Glenn did most of the lead vocals and wrote lyrics. He had then left his cocain abuse and become a believer.

Glenn was the lead vocalist of Sabbath at the time, and he was "co-lead" vocalist with David Coverdale and played base guitar in Deep purple 1973 (end of) - 1976. He was also in Trapeze, phenomena, and so on and is known as the voice of rock!

In my humble opinion Seventh Star is a Class A heavy metal album. Whether under the 'Black Sabbath' or 'Tony Iommi' monicker the music is heavy and inspirational. Tony Iommi is an experienced guitarist and delivered some fine riffs and solos on this album. Glenn Hughes fitted the music well. However (unfortunately)it was not the same during live playing. Thanks for sharing this clip.

I was at this concert. WASP opened (I think there was another band before them, but I didn't get to Cobo until after WASP started their set). Was so disappointed with the singing. Too many songs were screwed up. The music was great, so it wasn't a total loss.
kyokogodai 3 years ago
I saw them also on this tour only in New York(Nassau Colisium). W.A.S.P opened also and kicked ass. Ray gillian just started on tour and did a great job. I was bumbed because Glenn Hughes is my favorite singer. but hearing a few live songs from this 1986 tour you can really hear Glenn struggle and at times sound down-right terrible. What a shame, Ironicly this show was in Detroit were I now live 60 miles from in the Port Huron area.

The Hughes-Thrall album, plus several of his '90s solo albums - From Now On, e.g. - are very popular with Hughes' fans. I prefer his first album with Iommi - The Dep Sessions, a.k.a. Eighth Star. Burn, Stormbringer, and Made in Europe are by the best band ever, so no argument there! This should not have been billed as Black Sabbath, but is interesting anyway. Thanks!

Of Course Glenn Hughes is an excellent Bassist/Vocalist but his early departure from Black Sabbath was his own fautlt. He tried to boss Tony around and control the band so they took care of him. Ray Gillen finished up the tour, but sadly he was taken a couple of year after

Don't ever forget the excellent singing Glenn Hughes in that often overlooked band Trapeze. I can't find any Trapeze on You-Tube, but what a great band it was! That was pre-Deep Purple for Hughes.

Glenn Hughes was and is among the best rock singers but had some issues during this time period. He is long over that now and has put out some incredible stuff. Check out 'BURNING JAPAN LIVE' if you can find a copy; it is a must-have. Thx for posting this clip; most of us did not catch a Sabbath show with Glenn as the frontman. I seem to recall that he was replaced after the sixth show of the tour.

Would be sooo interesting to watch a Sabbath gig with Glenn Hughes on vocals NOW, as he´s in a much better condtion then these days!Always hoped that Iommi and Hughes would start a tour after the release of their album some years ago, but ...?!The album SEVENTH STAR is great anyway!!
Fischi1970 4 years ago
Glen Hughes was in a bar fight with the manager a week before the tour started for hittihg on his girlfriend. He ended up with blood clots in his throat that had to be scraped off his vocal cords! He was replaced a week later by Ray Gillen, and Glen knew he couldn't go any farther. All live songs I've heard from that tour are awful, but Glen is known as "The Voice Of Rock" worldwide. Check out my vid for "Heart Like a Wheel" to hear him for real!

Happens to the best. Sebastian Bach, W.P.Beach FLA in 2000. Dio too, in Europe, Angry Machines tour. Tony Martin too, Cross Pursoses Live, and Bruce Dickinson, A Real Dead One. Don't trash a singer for having a bad few nights. Glenn's great. Listen to Seventh Star, the Deep Purple albums or Humanary Stew (Alice Cooper Tribute).
