I remember watching this on ABC way back then. I think "Billy Don't Be a Hero" and some shit by Elton John was all you heard on the radio (no FM station where I lived.) A real revelation this was!
still holds so much power...without Sabbath there is no Metal as we know it. Sleep, Electric Wizard, Melvins, etc... continued this beautiful distorted sound into the 21st century.
Those people at that festival now realized that they were so fucking lucky. Black Sabbath, Eagles, ELP, and Deep Purple for tha same bill, some miracles just happens once
Wow ,you have to say bill ward is a great fucking drummer . i never really hear him get much credit as the other great drummers . Bill Ward kicks ass on this song !!!!!!
I hear ya I went to a AC/DC concert about 6 years ago.....fucking metal detectors and pat downs....bullshit. What happen to bringing your bottles and weed???
you need to pay attention to what they are wearing. All of them (sans ward, no shirt) are wearing bright colored clothing. Nothing "dark" about this at all. But when you see them today they wear dark clothing, why the change? The only "dark" thing about sabbath music was the way it was played. As Geezer pointed out; the lyrics to their music always warned about black magic, satanism and the evils of this world.
@lewisjacksonv from watching a few concerts of theirs in the 70's ( especialy paris 1970 ) they changed the last verses too live. Not sure. Maby has to do with that.
@lewisjacksonv ozzy is not and never was a satanist nor any members of black sabbath. They wore the crosses to ward off evil because they believed a group of witches put a curse on them.
11-11-11 says will be a special announcement at a press conference with the original sabs? if it's a tour im there and a new album im buying it...my favorite band of all time. check out my channel for sabbath stuff as well. thanks for these great videos. it would of been a hell of a time to be at the california jam!
There were people in that crowd that didn't realize they were looking at the gods of metal. They later learned and now brag that they were there that day.
I love Sabbath. I only wish I could have been at this festival to have seen a prime Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and The Eagles. Every band on the bill could play and write their own material, which is a world apart from the so-called "artists" of today who are mere media-created puppets.
I remember watching this on TV in Detroit, for some reason it was black and white. I was 9 yrs old and my parents had switched the TV channel to something else "exciting" that was on that early evening , maybe a made for tv movie,Can't remember that part! Something was debuting. I know they wanted to see Seals and Crofts or someone else? so Dad got up and switched it to see the concert .They could see I was excited to see this and they tolerated it for a little bit...
@celticsarebest thats nothing, when I was a teenager you had them, the yardbirds, blues bands, pop, rock everything on the same show. So much better variety
@celticsarebest Amen...those were the days. i dont care who people listen to but seriously. deep purple, sabbath, zeppelin, who, allman bros etc. those were real bands.
i agree that scott is jelous and he has no right dis-liking The Sabbath but i'm from the bronx too and i like all your music. i'm italian. i love brittish bands from the 70's all-the-way!! Sabbath-Floyd-Zep-Yardbirds etc.
Could you see Justin Bieber doing this song? Oh wait.. He's modern man; A GIRL. I guess the Socialists media have finally dumbed "man" down to the point we're now more easily conquerable.
i bet whoever dislike this was a gay x factor wanker probably simon cowell well all il say is simon go take it up the ass bitch ozzys coming to get you
@shredmaster100 The video dislike came from Scott Lifshine. He put a dislike vote on all of my videos. Here is his channel: luxordream & Caljamscott .
He doesn't like what I am trying to do with this californiajamfanclub, or me for that matter. I believe Scott to be extremely jealous with what I have regarding california jam material. The guy is PSYCHO!...allen :)
yeah sounds like a fuitcake to me m8 what i will say is thanks for putting these great videos on youtube ive not seen the black sabbath california vids before the only full set ive seen from this concert was deep purples witch is great but i dont get why sabbaths performance wasnt put on a dvd or something anyway cheers for the clips man
I dont blame scott, i too am extremely jealous, been trying to get this for years from Torrents, Traders and anywhere else i think it may be hidden away.
good to hear from someone who still has taste in real music ive not seen any good rock or metal bands on the tv since guns n roses and metallicas heyday in the late 80,s and early 90,s after that time all the other bands on the tv seemed to have no talent at all and today its all pop music lady gaga anybody yuck and rap so it seems the cool thing to do is be a rock star as its the only music not on tv at this time
@ontariomotorspeedway Yup, not even Satan himself would dislike this! :D Well there are unfortunately always people who have the eyes and ears shut, super great thanks for uploading this piece of history!!!
