i’m not what you would consider a black sabbath fan. i have never listened to a black sabbath record, and outside of the few that are staples in jukeboxes and classic radio stations across the land, i haven’t heard too many of their songs. that being what it is, i have been listening to this sabbath show from 8.5.75 show from ashbury and i must contend that its pretty bad ass.

1. killing yourself to live

    nice! i was not expecting to see sabbath on captainsdead. it’s so easy to dismiss classic metal that many people don’t see the genius in some of this older stuff. you should give the Paranoid album a fair try, it really is an amazing album. i would not consider myself a big sabbath or even metal fan, but i can’t deny how great that album is.

    thx as always!

    yeah, drdoo you just never know what im going to pull out. i actually have been meaning to check out paranoid for a while now. i have a few friends who are quite the musical idiot savants that swear by that record. i just havent found the time as of yet…

    Thanks for posting. I haven’t been able to stop listening to it since you put it up. Hope all is well in NO.

    I was there, and my ears rang for three days afterward. I was so afraid to tell my parents, thinking I’d (a) Never get to go to another concert and, (b) I had gone deaf.

    On the fourth day, I was cured, and saw many concerts afterward. But, Sabbath, never again.

    Many thanks for this post!!! It’s awesome.

  6. Paranoid is the album people recommend b/c it’s the most well-known by those who only know Black Sabbath through their radio hits. While it’s excellent, it’s hardly their best album. And since you’re enjoying this great bootleg, you’ve already got an inkling that there’s far more to this band than meets the eye. I recommend all eight of their original albums. After Osbourne (and soon after Ward) depart, the band becomes an actual “heavy metal” band with Dio and Vinny Appice. Not bad, by any means, but Sabbath was never that. Heavy, yes, but also light, and experimental, jazzy, bluesy and progressive. All of those weird and wooly elements disappear after 1979, in favor of good, but mostly straightforward metal songs about D&D subjects.

    Check out:

    Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (considered by many their best work; diverse, proggy, almost mystical)
    Never Say Die (experimental, deeply melancholic, with jazz/fusion elements)
    Black Sabbath (their first; dark blues, even folksy, with lots of psychedelic and swing elements)
    Technical Ecstasy (their “classic rock” album; again very diverse, with strong tunes)
    Sabotage (heavy, complex, and progressive, but in a different way than SBS)
    Vol. 4 (dark, moody, at times sepulchral, prog elements coming to the fore)
    Master of Reality (where Stoner, Doom and Christian rock are born; but no one’s surpassed this original)
    Paranoid (where the radio staples come from, but they’re still great songs; the less-well known tracks are brilliant as well).

    Avoid the Rhino remaster set; It’s heavily overcompressed. Go to Amazon.uk., and grab the Sanctuary remasters, which are very affordable and, while not perfect, are the closest the original LPs I’ve yet heard.

    If you’ve fallen for this live performance, you’re in for a long love affair once you get their albums; they’re like the One Ring; once they take hold, they never let go!
