Black Sabbath - Intro + Seventh Star Live (W Glenn Hughes)

[nox4bs1960]

@chrisdrumz, in fairness to Sabbath, according to Iommi the record company made them call it a Black Sabbath, they wanted to call themselves Seventh Star, same thing happened when Ian Gillan sang with them, they wanted to call that band Born Again.

[delnileppez]

I recently became a fan of Black Country Communion and it made me remember this show in Detroit. W.A.S.P. blew Sabbath off the stage. Glen had the lyrics to Paranoid taped to the stage and when the smoke machine came on he couldn't see the lyrics, so he stumbled through them. I remember the crowd not being happy...

[lannmetal]

Awesome performance, but one can tell here that Glenn wasn't really used to be wothout his bass; his moves are somewhat odd and unfrontman-ish lol

[elmagobarnes]

glenn hughes great singer...god bless you.

[Chrisdrumz]

I would've enjoyed the show(and album) if it wasn't trying to be passed off as SABBATH. Aside from Tony ,the band from 86-92 was in NO WAY Sabbath(aside from name only). Serious damage was done to the name in that period. They didn't even tour the states in '89 cause they couldn't sell any tix(guess rock fans are NOT that stupid). The band should've been called IOMMI and toured theatres or larger clubs.

[davekingman26]

you are PARTLY correct. they did tour the states in 89, but albeit cancelled the stour 2 weeks into it cuz lack of record promotion. in the uk, they did rather well on tour

[gramoukdoom]

seventh star is probs the best song without ozzy, such a sick riff

[eldorado61guy]

O.K. Now i will dig through my tapes to find the real deal

[SilverTounge85]

They did an instrumental medley of 'Zero The Hero'. That riff is pure evil itself. Noone could sing it like Gillan though. I wish someone else attempted at least. Tony Martin claimed he could sing material from ever album with no problem in an interview once back in the late 80's. Why overlook 'Born Again' and for the mostly 'Seventh Star' then??? Love those two albums.

[Dolenza]

OMG, yes, W.A.S.P. opened(The Last Command tour)...Cobo Arena, had front row...I was the guy with long brown hair, hehehe!

[SilverTounge85]

Gotta love Glenn's übermullet in '86. The Hughes/Gillen/Martin years of Black Sabbath is VERY underrated.

[honcuk]

one of Tony's greatest riff.. gotta love Sabbath's eighties, some hidden gems there!

[GregERobertson]

this is one of the few times we can see (barely) Geoff Nichols on stage . .usually he's off- or back- .

[ultramanhayata1]

NICE!!! I thought I was the ONLY die-hard Sabbath fan who liked this song!!! Having said that, I regret to say the album was my least favorite in their entire catalogue!! That's the album that should've been called Heaven And Hell!! The first side is fine, the second side pitiful!! The real Heaven And Hell, however, I rank second, only to Paranoid!!

[masterpatric07]

who said that glenn lost his voice?search glenn hughes with ratablanca 2 years ago. and tell me he lost his voice .lol.

[SilverTounge85]

@masterpatric07 He had lost his voice back in '86, took some years to recover, he said in an interview. Ray Gillen did a fantastic job filling in mid-tour. I love 'Seventh Star'. I'm glad someone taped one of his performances.

[Hattrickplus]

I was at this show at Cobo Arena. Sorry to say, but Glenn Hughes was horrible. No voice what so ever. I actually felt sorry for him, because the show went on!

[masterpatric07]

sabbath should quit working with ozzy.and put back glenn or tony martin or ray gillen to recover their spot as number 1 band ever.

[curly529]

@masterpatric07

I think Sabbath should stop working with Ozzy all together, he had every chance to record new music with them, and did'nt ..He has so many issues going on. They should remain recording new music with Ronnie Dio provided he is healthy enough to continue.

[mutchka1]

@masterpatric07 ...sadly, Ray Gillen passed away in 1993. He was only 32.

[aruizi]

I agree with you... but don't expect Ray Gillen to return from death, man. Also, it's sad but Tony doesn't sing quite well nowadays, Glenn has lost his voice, and Ronnie too. So, the only choice is Ozzy: he hasn´t lost his voice since he has never had any but his "tuneless screams" -Tony Martin dixit-.

[CloudFROST]

@aruizi Glenn has lost his voice? lol.

[mooneclipse81]

well...best riff ever!

[ColtraneTaylor]

@mooneclipse81 I love that riff, I love that soung!

[alraune6666]

..for me the best song..ever

[geshtasb]

Even stoned he's got an incredible voice and talent....

Glad that he's back to a sober life

[mooneclipse81]

i can't beleive there's only this live video for this song...not even a proper recording whatta fuck!

[doxic1]

this is an epic song . so fucking good ..yes iommi he is so good at what he does hes a true legend like micheal j..

[JaimeEnriqueV]

What a douche bag...!

[jtolliver]

Well said! I couldn't agree with you more!

[archeeizm]

definately hughes, ray had kinda straight hair.

[mrfenderbenderman]

seventh star is not a sabbath album!

its a tony iommi solo album that he was made ro put sabbath on,

[archeeizm]

Your right about that, I think Jeff Fenholt was gonna sing it but it did not work out or something.

[mecmort]

No fucking way : This is Glenn Hugues not Ray Gillen

[Gentario]

Non capisco come qualcuno abbia potuto confondere in questo video Glenn Hughes con Ray Gillen...

[54spiritedwill54]

Good voice!!!

[PauloKiske]

:) GOOD, MAN.

[t1019faulkner]

Sorry the song is off Voodoo Hill

[t1019faulkner]

That is Glenn Hughes in hes drug days!He lost hes way for awhile but is back better then ever.Listen to sample of a song called Golden One off Voodoo Child. Just amazing!

[applesmurfen]

Thats Ray Gillen, not Glenn Hughes. Glenn Hughes is nowhere near as big as Ray was, and Glenn is much more lively on stage. He also has a much better vocal range than Ray, though I like both singers.

[wwahc1964]

No,it's Glenn,one of four dates he did.He had a bone fragment in his sinuses from a fight,plus he was detoxing and went on a binge when they fired him, according to Glenn.

[PauloNessaBosta]

you are drunk. haha

[tigerman63]

I was there!! Joe Louis Arena,Detroit Mi.If I remember correctly WASP and Megadeth were on the same bill.The star of the evening was Tony Iommi!!!

[fog13]

@tigerman63 Yes! I was there as well.

It was Glenn's last show with Sabbath.

[nightwingrockz]

Yes the intro in the beginning of the video is: Zero The Hero, Sphinx/Seventh Star. I have a few bootlegs from the 1986 era if anyones interested

[bassplayingbastard]

Is the intro Zero The Hero from Born Again? It's really hard to tell

[seventhstar]

I have used the seventhstar name for years as a pen name heralding great influence and inspiration from this very album and song. This footage brings back so many memories from that time. I lost my virginity the night this tour came to Cleveland on March 21rst of that year - 1986. I was a senior in high school and unfortunatly this was my first trip to a Black Sabbath concert. I will never - never forget that time in my life

[mojo1165]

hell yea!

[seventhstar]

My anniversary is coming up pretty soon too!! lol Cheers!!

[CsemTam]

Actually, now that he's clean and healthy, Glenn is an amazing singer. He sounds much better nowadays then even in his Purple days.

That said, his vocal histrionics can be annoying sometimes.

[eagleheart36]

i saw glen in Argentina with walter giardino and Rata blanca and he was so good,the people over there love this guy.

[bulitboy]

Sabbath intense!

[craneo2099]

the voice of glenn hughes sucks!!! perhaps this song rocks!!!!!

[Bernler75]

This is a very nice song! One of my favourites really! (In the '80:s) B4 ozzy was kicked there was no bad songs at all...

[fetteshice]

Of Glenn Hughes ability to produce downright useless and annoying vocal sounds, like at 4:38, which have the power to destroy any classic hard rock song, an experience listeners of late DP Mk.IV live bootlegs could not save themselves from, the KLF made good use later when recording America: What Time Is Love.

[ashleys5093]

this is a fucking eppic song i just found it the other day even tho i had it for months .

[GreenBayLA]

Glenn Hughes = the definitive Sabbath lineup!

[rockNgrunge111]

Good voice!!!

[Comuna]

i would love to hear some Glenn Hughes with sabbath before he was replace by Ray Gillan (love to hear him too with BS)

Hughes was in bad shape for using cocaine. That kick out from BS saved his life

[gyeszno]

Moreover he was addicted to chocolate,and the band had to hire a bodyguard to stop him from eating too much sweets 'cause he gained a lot of weight day after day.

[Comuna]

really??? nah! :0

[Blacksabbathisgod]

i know that you douchebag, thats why its such a poor album since glenn hughes sings, stop being a douchebag to people and get a life, i read joe siegler black sabbath online homepage every day so i probably know more then you wish you knew

[purplefan08]

well mr blacksabbathisgod, if you know your stuff [which obviously you don't] seventh star was originally a tony iommi solo album but, to get out of the vertigo [uk] contract he was obliged to do another black sabbath album, hence, my friend, seventh star by black sabbath featuring tony iommi

[rockarolla306]

no way, dude.. they're playing Zero the Hero I don't hear any of Seventh Star

[akaboo69]

watch the rest of the video

[Blacksabbathisgod]

the album is good but not a sabbath album, and glenn is a very poor singer in my opinion, i hate his roles in both deep purple and black sabbath

[theeternalidol]

This album is one of the best Black Sabbath albums! Killersongs like In For The Kill, Seventh Star, Turn To Stone, Heart Like A Wheel, In Memory, Sphinx The Guardian!

It's one of my Top 5 Sabbath albums

[Belios]

I agree, that album is awesome!! and songs on it are really powerful!!

[phenomena44]

SEVENTH STAR was a good album, but Glenn Hughes was not the good singer for the band,after G.hughes left the band, Ray Gillen ..it was another story !THE SINGER OF BLACK SABBATH for me,better than DIO? YES..

[gzr0]

i dunno why , but ive never thought to look up this era live... id heard glenn wasnt too good live at this period, but he seems alright here..

cool song of a cool album

[guitaristbmh]

He messed up lyrics a bit. He's a bass player, and when he was live with sabbath he didn't play bass. He had some drug issues, no bass, and got into a fight that lead to internal bleeding into his vocal cords as well.

[Geologism1]

you read wikipedia.

[guitaristbmh]

Yeah, but it's not like wikipedia was wrong on this part of Sabbath. Besides I couldn't have been there for it anyways.

[blacksabfan]

It might be on wikipedia, but it's also in "Black Sabbath: Never Say Die" by Garry-Sharpe Young. Guitaristbmh is completely correct. However, that event occurred AFTER the above show in Detroit. Hughes wasn't right for Sabbath and he wasn't in the best shape anyway...Gary Moore got rid of him during the making of "Run For Cover" and rightfully so.

[blacksabfan]

That said, I still think he's a good singer. He was good in Purple and he was good on the Iommi solo albums as well. Just not right for any Black Sabbath material other than the album he did.

[michaels2boys]

The Seventh Sign was a very under rated lp. It was suppose to be a solo lp for Tony but at the last minute the record label threw the Sabbath name on it so it would sell better.

[sonnytsn1]

go iommi ^^

[circleofhands]

sorry to hear glenn died while eating out oprah winfreys pussy he will be missed

[sonnytsn1]

lol ^^

[dzindzodzindzoski]

Glenn ovbiously does not know what to do without bass guitar in his hands... lol... love it...

[Verdiaa]

This was Hughes in his monster-period, hehe.. I love this singer.. He is my favorite next to Peter Gabriel. I saw him in around 2000, and from the stage he admitted he didn't remember the 80's

[jimfloros]

Love the 'Zero the Hero' intro - that's probably the last time Tony played that riff

[honcuk]

very underrated track

[sabbathrider]

amazing, first time ever seeing it!

[VideoOutlawz]

Damn dose this make the memories flood. My daughter, now 21 born April second, was in the womb during this concert. The mother as big as a house was surrounded by other concert goers on Tony's side of the stage providing a protective barrier around her so the crowd couldn't jostle her. W.A.S.P opened this particular show.

[scottsway]

glenn hughes is a great rock singer.......long live glenn

[evilmetaltwin]

thats it..i knew who they were, just always get their first names confused, yes he is killer bass player to say the least

[evilmetaltwin]

i believe thats eric singer on drums and dan spitz on bass , or dave, i dont remember his name..lol, its the brother of the guy that used to play lead guitar for anthrax

[wuxingwarrior]

This is Dave Spitz on bass... a bass god! Dany Spitz was the lead player for Anthrax.

[sandman616]

Who's on the drums and and on bass at this show ?

[eagleheart36]

Dave spitz-bass and eric singer drums.

[osky010]

all sabbath fans are entitled to their opinions.those who do, decides their favorite singers. mine starts with ozzy; dio is the modern-day sabbath voice. all the others are sabbath classics. sabbath is a strong title to follow; that's why sabbath is always a heavy favorite by many different fans. the whole world loves sabbath; but only with ozzy osbourne; the real sabbath voice!

[Chinapaul]

Don't forget this was never meant to a Black Sabbath album. It was intended as an Iommi solo. He got pressured into making a Sabbath album, and hence the compromise was Black Sabbath "featuring" Tony Iommi.

[crabby2002]

Ian and Glenn were both excellent in Black Sabbath.... better than Ozzy

[childofbodom03]

Nah, they were good, so were Dio and Martin, but the Ozzy-era Black Sabbath songs were the best.

[RENEGADENATION]

I still love DEEP SABBATH with Ian Gillan

[wederell1]

God bless ya Glenn!! What you are doing now eclipses this dross by a living mile. Stay with the higher power and be free!! Mark in the UK.

[HeatFromStreets79]

This is a real treat! From March 22nd 1986 @ COBO in Detroit. WASP opened for this show. There is hardly any video footage of this tour since Hughes only did a couple of live shows.

[ramonda]

O M G!!! ZERO THE HERO!!!

[rainbow301]

No it's not because the drugs, Glenn got into a bar fight and got his nose broken and all the blood went to his throat and messed up his voice

[Spleeferton]

would have been so much greater with ozzy.

[blackmoreb35]

Ozzy singing Seventh Star? don't mak me laugh, he can barely sing his own stuff properly

[leodegundo]

I think it's great that Glen was able to quit doing drugs and booze, and also to find his voice again. It's a shame that he had to find "god" to achieve that though.

[rideon77]

Glenn would had been replaced by the incredible Ray Gillen after some shows cause his voice was totally done because of drugs and alchool.

[POOZITUNGA]

Increible, pensé que me iba a morir sin haber visto un video de esta increible formación de Black Sabbath con Glenn Hughes.-

[gmg1970]

Yo También... Long live Sabbath; Long Live Glenn

[CloudFROST]

Enjoy =] It's the seventh staaaaaaaar....
