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

[leef0324uk]

sabbath aint music its a way of life \M/

[giovannidelcorso]

Who does the keyboards here? Rick Wakeman?

[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

[TheDudeKicker]

Wow, this is such a great track. Thanks for posting!!

[JoaoMarceloNemer]

the voice of Ozzy is perfect for my... but cocain + alcool = voice failed(he talk about it in your biografy)

[rfal502]

He actually remembered the fucking lyrics to this song. That alone is amazing!

[MalteseCross]

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

[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??

[chrisaustin88]

I like how Ozzy sounds here... raw as fuck.

[xheavymotorheadx]

Tomy Iommi is the best !!

[susikoira2002]

Some great music , ozzy at his best..

[JohnAllanification]

THIS WHOLE SHOW IS FUCKING GREAT!

can we just leave it at that?

[mojopin70]

fuck ozzy had a very high vocal range

[beserker1912]

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

[jackzabbaththeband]

Y'knw what i love about sabbath? They always tried something new,Thay never stuck too the same thing on every album,they switched it up.Lik ozzy:He tried his hardest,and it was always loved,no matter what,even if it was something like,megalomania.Tony:he always come up with classic riffs.Bill:it freezes me.Geezer:i love his bass,it makes me shiver

[brickslam]

WAIT! Listen to this song in Providence on the 3rd. Ozzy's voice on there blows away everything

I've heard prior to '75. Blasts right through it............

[smithdsmit]

when I seen sabath in 99. ozzies vocals sounded better. of coaurse their was better equipment in 99 then in 75 and in the 70's sabbath toured like crazy.on this recoreding it just sounds like ozzy needs a break. it was proably his 30th gig in a row

[Illuminated512]

This is one of the best live songs I have ever heard. Black Sabbath is so darkly illuminated! Contemporary groups should listen to this and understand they can and should be so much more in concert, rather than just remaining a sterile carbon copy of their recorded work.

Thank you for this and the entire set!

[MVDOTTLINGER]

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

[chazenlindo]

metallica suck!

[tetrisskinny]

@chazenlindo you sir are a retard if you think metallica are not good.... just because you prefer black sabbaths original version of this song doesnt mean they suck, so fuck you.

[nietzschealeatorio]

pista de skate em São Francisco Niterói!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[koeienboei]

Where did you get this song and the others? :O

[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.

[LittleItaly14301]

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

[bigalrei]

So fucking amazing!!!!

[b24warbaby]

The studio version kind of dies in the middle. The organ/synth portion sucks,

[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.

[blacksabfan]

Yeah, there's times where Ozzy pushes himself to his max. The difference between this recording and many others that I have, is that Ozzy tends to "give up" when the song gets too difficult. He'll switch keys mid-verse or not sing parts. Here he's not perfect, but for the most part he doesn't give in to the songs when they get difficult. After about 1972, I'm hard pressed to find a Sabbath concert where Ozzy sang well. Many of the songs were hard for him to do live.

[jackzabbaththeband]

@blacksabfan I know you're right,can't find many,but i think theres a couple here...but not as many as Ozzy should of had

[brickslam]

@blacksabfan Because Ozzy sang in such a high range with so much power night after night, it became very wearing on his voice. Think of the strain he's putting on his voice.  Despite this, I've heard some great performances after 72. Early in this tour (75), Ozzy just unreal.

[zeppelin1996]

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

[xSoWxShadow]

@blacksabfan He'll usually just drop an octave if a note is too high, but he seems to give it everything here although he was a little off.

[Suicidalfamily]

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

[bleekblock]

@NersII I think Ozzy sounds good here

[grinds2003]

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

[TotalWindowCleaning]

Ozzt rocks

[orpapaor]

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

[evilmaniac999]

me too! I mean Ozzy was the heart and soul of black sabbath! If I listen to sabbath, I immediately think of Ozzy:-??...

[MegaDumkopf]

like grateful dead actually.

[177988]

epic!

[homeagent]

Do you know who's on keyboard?

[silverandteal]

i am

[cdwiggs]

HAHAHAHA! Umm if I'm not mistaken it's either Sharon Osborne or Ray Charles, but I could be wrong. Whomever it is has those keys a meltin!

[NextArminius]

On the studio album it was Rick Wakeman. Could it be him here?

[Andele37]

much better, than the version of metallica

[mmmtomtoddles]

'tallica's version is good too!

[MrOzzyIommi]

amazing! but it's actually quite sad that I'm wasn't born 40 years ago to listen live to some good music like this, it's sad even looking at youtube comments, it's full of shitty kids that instead of having a good time with the music are arguing on who's the best, and you can't say I'm wrong, I'm wasn't even born in the 70's but I'm 100% sure that at that time people were buying vinyls and having a good time with friends listening to music instead of bitching on YouTube.

cheers

[C4mpst4ff]

funny that you say that, because I've seen you on nearly every black sabbath video arguing and bitching at people.

[MrOzzyIommi]

I just respond to dumb people when I've nothing to do. Peace.

[conker54054]

This is fucking AWESOME!!!!

[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'

[syedmhussein]

This song is awesome. Make me feel happy. Love me every single day. Damn, the riffs on this songs sends me chills.

[madoojie]

its just fucking great too hear actual live playing at a concert not that faggoty lip synching you get from these pop bands .

[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*

[Hungryboyfromhungary]

hey man thanks for the video it's fucking amazing. which album is this song off? Cheers

[lalo965]

its from sabbath bloody sabbath album

[redbirdfan126]

It's not Sabotage. It;s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I'm 100% certain.

[Hungryboyfromhungary]

umm i know the studio version is off sabbath bloody sabbath! i'm talking about the live version...what is the live album called?

[Hungryboyfromhungary]

okies never mind...did some research. it's actually a bootleg...only three of the songs have been officially released....luckily i found a torrent for it after about an hour of looking :) best sabbath album i've listened to so far :) thanks again for uploading man, much appreciated!

[AndrewZirpolo]

I know they have a live album called Live

At Last, but I don't own it. It may be on that, or it could be just another single release. The later Sabbath has an album called Live Evil, but that was way after this songs time (it was with Dio). The version on the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album (I have it on record) sounds pretty much the same though (except in tune).

[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.

[SoCalFlyer1]

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

[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.

[jakemann2000]

how does one get these bootlegs?

[silverandteal]

one purchases them

[BonzoTriplets]

This is a bootleg. Was never officially released. Except for 3 songs on past lives.

[Frank332666]

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

[blacksabfan]

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

[Frank332666]

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

[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 . .

[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 :)

[blizzarddiaryozzy]

Best thing I've ever heard!

[themosmitsos]

1-I LOOOOOVE good 20 minute songs

2-this sounds ALOT like Zeppelin, that's a compliment, LedZep's my 2nd favorite band after this one

[ccfliege]

I never heard so much dorrian scale in a Iommi solo

[thebadty]

how bout the drums on this fuckin song, un?

[135628910]

bluesly metal

[debovvy]

I just love it!

[rob825]

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

[redbirdfan126]

It's fun while you're having sex, too.

[NuclearGuru350]

Metallica sucks.

[gking407]

one of the best albums of any kind of all time

[kirkulete]

rick wakeman play the keyboard

[IceCreamAllTheTime]

who's playing keyboards?

[rahulrata]

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

[Pletet]

omg this is FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

TOTALLY KICKS FUCKING ASS!!!!

[chazattak]

'bout the only intelligent comment i've seen so far lol. hell yes man, hell yes

[135628910]

rob825 i agree with you

[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?

[ODIvideos]

he dose play the most bomb riffs...like in black sabbath with the "diablous in musica" fuck yeah!!

[volvo4377]

BILL WARD OWNS

[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..

[kygermo]

Nevermind everyone's bickering, from 5:20 on is pure metal bliss. The rifffff to start it off, my goodness! Tell me that shit aint heavy as hell!

[mjbernardi78]

Its heavy but not Wheels Of Confusion heavy!!!

[sergiot1988]

Black sabbath as rob zombie said once "they did everything we play it faster and heavier but is basically the same just interpretation every single cool riff was already invented by them"

[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.

[blacksabfan]

The Four Horsemen and Children of the Grave aren't alike at all. I know because I play them both on guitar. By that logic you could say any song that has a muted E string in it copies Children of the Grave. The rest of the chords aren't even the same. Nothing Else Matters and Fluff aren't really that similar either. You think two songs have never had the same chord structure before??? I know several songs that consist of Em/D/C/G but I wouldn't call them copies of each other. I don't buy it.

[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.

[fogbeet]

sorry, forgot to mention that Ozzy kept running over to the back right of the stage to play the parts with the synth-friggin' Wild!

[fogbeet]

Sabbath played this with a break for a guitar solo and another break for a drum solo in 74 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena-still remember most of the songs too-Awesome Night! (shows my age-well, I was 14),fantastic post!

[judomouse]

Ridiculously awesome song from an EVEN BETTER band!!!!

5/5

[oakley1234567]

This is f.........in beautiful

[elpablo666]

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

[Hvrn87]

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 ;)

[sergiot1988]

nice comment is fuckin true doom metal bands copy many black sabbath riff BUT wait a minute what metal does't from judas priest to lamb of god they're black sabbath sons

[astronomydomine00001]

The ending is pretty fly I must say.

[astronomydomine00001]

Wow where did you find this??

[81unnaed81abc]

WOOW ... THE INTRO SI FROM METALLICA, i mean metallica stole it... do you hear it?

[balajek]

really???

[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.

[mlmr11]

Metallica copped Sabbath shamelessly

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

[UncleJimmema]

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

[67675656565655656565]

like the start of master of puppets sounds like the riff from warpigs

[UncleJimmema]

Thats a really bad example, they are similar, but coincidently.

[67675656565655656565]

off course you would say that since your a massive metallica fan

[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.

[UncleJimmema]

No, actually I prefer Megadeth and Anthrax over Metallica. Metallica's first couple albums are great, but they started to suck during Black Album. Besides, who hasn't heard Master of Puppets?

[67675656565655656565]

your right about metallica sucking after the black album there earlier stuff was much better

[UncleJimmema]

Oh yea, Metallica sold out in the stupidest of ways.

[67675656565655656565]

they sure did

[UncleJimmema]

Yup.

[thadbrains]

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

[harrvesterofsorrow]

man even the black album isin that good i think... just the first four albums unreal.. anyways sabbath best band ever this video is sweet

[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.

[jms8888]

WoW! Where did you get your hands on this?
