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

This extended version of "Sabbra Cadabra" was recorded at Asbury Park, NJ on 8/5/1975. This first part features most of the actual song and a guitar solo by Iommi. Part 2 features the "Sometimes I'm Happy" portion of the jam and a drum solo by Ward. Enjoy!

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.

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.

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............

@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

[Suicidalfamily]

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

[giovannidelcorso]

Who does the keyboards here? Rick Wakeman?

[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??

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