Out of interest, the equipment Sabbath were using then was a 60 watt Laney amp each (Geezer and Tony) driving two 4x12" cabs each (ie one stack each). It was so loud and clear I couldn't believe they were 60 watts but that's what they told me! Ozzy sang through a 100 watt Vox PA amp driving two Vox 6x8" columns! Bill was using one bass drum, one floor tom and one hanging tom! (Note the lack of effing and blinding from Ozzy in those days, he was a nice lad and it was a Youth Club!)
+Alex Wilson Hi Alex, you did a great job in taping this show! Thanks so much for that! A lot of rumours are now going around. Maybe you can clarify, verify, falsify, or correct some of them? Here's what's said (not just by stupid people, but also by some well-respected collectors): 1.) The most popular rumour says that you guaranteed to the Osbournes that you never shared, and would never share, your recording to anything else; and that accordingly now, since the recording is all over the internet, you will get into big trouble (which I seriously hope is NOT true!). (This is claimed by some people as a justification why they never shared the Dumfries recording.) 2.) Other rumours say that you taped the complete 2 sets, and thus what has just surfaced is not all your recorded. 3.) Yet others claim that you also recorded 2 or 3 more Sabbath gigs in Dumfries. Is that true, and if yes: can you give the dates (write me a PM if you prefer that)? Any comments of yours would really be appreciated! It seems that a lot of bullshit is talked about this recording, and has been talked for 10 years. Maybe you can help us to sort it out. All the best from here!
+Linda B. Number 3 first - this is the only show of Sabbath in Dumfries I ever recorded.Number 2 - I didn't tape the complete nightNumber 1 - I didn't release this recording to the internet and I have no idea who did, the Osbournes bought the original tape off me and I witnessed at least 5 copies being transferred to CD in a London recording studio that day ..... This was 10 years ago roughly and during that time I have had several enquiries to get a copy but I couldn't do that as the recording had been sold...... I repeat I have NO IDEA who by or how this has got out onto the internet after 10 years......
+Alex Wilson No idea how this got leaked either - but, thank you for recording this concert. This is truly an amazing concert. I may be incorrect in saying this, but was this concert what inspired you to start Iron Claw?
+Alex Wilson : Alex, do you recall what Sabbath played in their first set? I know it was a long time ago. :-) Some possibilities, according to Jim Simpson, were a cover of Jimmy Rushing's "Evenin'," a cover of T-Bone Walkers "Storm Monday" and "Fairies Wear Boots" (which was written and performed early on).

This is why I love the Internet. It's been years since I've heard any 'new' old Sabbath. It's been stashed away and forgotten but thankfully, people are becoming more savvy and sharing gold like this. Thank you for the upload.
Yep, music more than anything the ability to access stuff like this!!~~ Some of the rare stuff you find nowhere else!! The music videos etc & I've got over 500CDS & 3,000 Itunes songs so you'd think I'd have it covered but then the new Arthur Brown Tour is filmed & uploaded & The End Sabbath over tour!~
Probably the first ever live recording of Black Sabbath. Recorded by Alan Wilson, of pioneer band Iron Claw. Check out that band. They were definitely the first band to follow in Sabbath's metal/doom template.
Bill wards drumming on this reminds me of Paul Whaley's from blue cheer. No matter what people will say these two drummers are the most influential in the genre of heavy metal.
Steve Bello 11 months and a few days here bro. Classics never die. Special thanks to the cat that new then what we figured out years later and was smart enough to hit the record button!
Good to hear Tony's bluesy guitar work. Incidentally, the premises where this was recorded still exists on Whitesands in Dumfries. There is a cafe there with tables outside in hd courtyard as well as inside.
Someone can't do math. He was born on December 3, 1948, meaning he was a 17 days short of his 21st birthday during this concert, which was held on November 16, 1969.
Alex: HUGE thanks for recording this!! It boggles my mind that there are so few early recordings of them during their transition period, while they were still doing classic blues covers (and what a great blues band they were). This is a gift!!
What's interesting is that they recorded their first Black Sabbath album on October 16th, 1969. This concert is from exactly ONE month after that recording session, so you're hearing them performing the same songs from the first album, but being even more comfortable and skilled at playing them. It would have been cool if they recorded these other cover songs in the same studio session and released them as B-Sides.
When they recorded their first album....they went in there with the attitude of "let's just perform our set"...with the exception of Ozzy Osbourne singing in another room. A few slight tweaks and boom done.
Wow, God bless you...Iommi on flute ! He played a bit a of flute on LP's...(no wonder why Jethro Tull wanted him...just guessing)...This recording is so great and historical.
Siresounds+ mr. Iommi has been playing the flute since a kid. Everybody and Jethro Tull wanted him .. he was a young hotshot back then. But his love for Tony / geezer blew J.Tull away.
Thank you for all your help forever for being able to see this amazing treasure that some of us could never be able to see thank you for forwarding this you made my life bearable
I've noticed that with Wicked World on this set and the one on the Past Lives CD, they have a little bridge before the solo that wasn't on the album but it sounds great; great showing of great Black Sabbath was as a live band
Absolutely unbelievable. It's hard to believe this is from 1969. There is absolutely nothing else like this from this era. The only two things that come close are Pentagram's Bias Studio Recordings, which were recorded four years later, and Randy Holden's Population II, which was also 1969 and was as equally heavy, but an entirely different beast. Just incredible.
There's A LOT MORE Pentagram bootlegs out there, such as demos and live and studio rehearsals from 1971-1973, as well as from Bedemon (from 1973) some Stone Bunny from 1970, both with the same lead singer from Pentagram. There's OLD Judas Priest recordings from 1971-1973 (both live and studio), as well as PRE-Judas Priest from members of the band, old ELF recordings (Ronnie James Dio's old band) dating back from 1957 to the early 70's. There's old Budgie recordings from the early 70's (some even with Judas Priest jamming with them), we have OLD Blue Oyster Cult recordings (both live and studio) from before they were even called Blue Oyster Cult, from 1970. They were called The Stalk-Forrest Group (under Elektra Recordings). We also have PRE-Sabbath live recordings with Iommi and Ward when they were in a band called Mythology in 1968. We have PRE-AC/DC live recordings from 1973 (With Angus and Malcolm). My God, I haven't even scratched the surface. If youtube is your only source, I highly suggest you dig around further. Try guitars101.com for starters.
FYI: the eighth song is actually called "Blue Coat Man" and it's a cover of an old Eddie Boyd song from 1952 (which he redid with Peter Green, John McVie and Aynsley Dunbar in 1967).
@@timanderson5342 I think he was referring to how Black Sabbath remembered to keep their kind of jam for the 3rd album. After all, the riffs shared similarities.
It's most probably a small jazzkit but Bill makes it sound like Alex VanHalen's quadruple drum set. I was in 1st grade when this all happened, but i caught up just a few years later and as a pre-teen 5th grader, in late 73, i already ''had heard about'' Sabbath. After the 74 Carnation revolution here, very specialized yet restricted import started to reach these Atlantic shores. The first albums i remember holding were Vol4 and SBS, but they weren't mine ... yet.
Initially, on listening to the first few tracks, thought this sounded like a dodgy recording of the album played over PA speakers. On listening to the whole recording I realised it is live, wow, I wish I could have been there, bet it was an amazing gig!!
If theres one thing I will never forgive Black Sabbath for, it's that they didnt include the awesome outro solo of the behind the wall of the sleep.No they had to make the warning 10 mins long and leave out a gem like this
This is really cool. The Who recorded this was in a band called iron claw who were really good. I listened to this before I heard of the band then I found it one of the guys recorded this lol.
The Sabbath session at Regent Sound was on October 12th 1969.....but September 27th they played the Drill Hall in Dumfries so was very close to when the magic happened
@@Danimal77 November 10th 1969 Sabbath go into Trident Studios and record Wicked World and Evil Woman. Tony iommi's pick up on his Stratocaster malfunctions at this recording session he switches to his Gibson SG. November 16th 1969 Alex Wilson records Sabbath Dumfries Scotland Tony Iommi is playing his Gibson SG. November 17th 1969 Sabbath enter Regent sound Studios and finish recording their debut album. Mixing and editing of the album are completed by Rodger Bain and Tom allom on November 18th 1969. Acetate tapes have surfaced with dates that contradict the recording of the debut album on October 16th and they have changed the date to November 17th for the recording of their debut album 19 69. I have believed all along that the debut album was recorded on October 16th 1969!
This was before Sabbath got labeled Heavy Metal - heavy slow blues with some Doom is a better description - anyway - thanks for this rare treat 🤪✌️ seriously
it has to be said a lot of people who would love this are not on or ever done internet.or would have more like/views but then again they probally still have vinyl still play it
This is awesome. Any other gigs available from the Carlisle/Egremont area of that time? Actually, having now read the rest of the comments best not answer :-)

Great band
At last! A live version of "Warning". Cool Stories about the concert. Do you ever feel like you were born at the wrong time in relation to music?
I wouldn’t know about that I grew up in the sixties..my teens were in the seventies..the best years for music.
Absolutely and I'm 51
Absolutely yes
Yes. I'm 40y.o.
Same im 18 now
Bill wards drumming on this reminds me of Paul Whaley's from blue cheer. No matter what people will say these two drummers are the most influential in the genre of heavy metal.
Mitch Michell & Ginger Baker are the other 2🤘🏼🔥
OMG what an insight. This is worth it's weight in Gold - Love it.
Glad things like this get uploaded...... Thanks
Great stuff here.Not bad quality.Love "warning" live.
One of the first metal shows were in my hometown???? Wow!

song 2 - let me love you baby and song 9 - blue blooded man are probably the rarest of all Sabbath gems
