      Your reaction is fantastic! I think I had this on an 8-track tape so I could play it in my car ('71 Vega). Mom wouldn't allow this stuff in the house. If you look close, you can see the thimble-like prosthetics on Tony Iommi's middle 2 fingers on his right hand. It's amazing he could play like that with 2 missing fingertips. Bill Ward proves it's the drummer, not the size of the drum kit, and Geezer is doing what bassists do, hanging out in back being amazing. Thanks for this.

    It's amazing how small Bill Ward's drum kit was compared to what we usually see drummers using. He was possessed playing them on this video, and Geezer's hand speed on that bass was insane too, Ozzy was headbanging before headbanging was a thing and Tony is just chilled out and standing there playing the riffs that created heavy metal. Amazing energy and musicianship. You don't get to see stuff like that nowadays, raw and aggressive, but the sound is controlled and melodic.

      Actually piccus was the occult word which gave their US label shock horror as the album title track, so it was changed to pigs and the company were relieved after Paranoid was added to make that the title track.
      Walpurgisnacht is a saint's day in Germany which has elements of Halloween imagery, it has nothing to do with armies, war or generals, unlike the song lyrics about war.
      Geezer Butler read occult books for source material for the horror scary genre, which was popular but not taken seriously in Europe.

    It's so hard to describe the feeling in words of what it was like hearing this music in the early seventies for the first time!! And being at the point in adolescence where you actually start listening to music and wanting to have your own kind of music different from what your mom and dad listened to!
    And then Along Comes Black Sabbath and...Presto you definitely have something different!!!

    Awesome vid guys. Black Sabbath is just on a whole other level. The rest of the songs they performed at this Paris show are amazing. You can also find live versions of different songs from throughout the 70s. My personal live favorites are from The End tour and they show the crowd going nuts, particularly on the war pigs video where you can see people in the crowd crying from how epic these 70 year old men are. Unfortunately bill ward didn’t join them on The End tour so you won’t see his awesome drumming in any of those videos 😢

    Cool, something I have not actually ever SEEN or heard myself yet, huge Sabbath fan but never heard this version, so if you don't mind I'm gonna react along with you guys LOL:
    1: wow, YOUNG Ozzy! he looks and sounds great
    2: different lyrics than the album...interesting. They must have fine tuned it for the record later.
    3: the drummer Bill Ward, is the living embodiment of Animal from The Muppets.
    4: Tony Iommi is a God.
    5: the sound is so RAW, yet still awesome.
    6: Geezer Butler is just stunning on that bass.
    Final thoughts: A band in it's prime just destroying it.
    And I agree, somehow Bill Ward sounds better live than on the record on this, I mean he just turns it up to 11 here....and OMG Alex just said the SAME thing as I typed it LMAO.

      Nobody left out anything. War Pigs hadn't even been recorded yet when they played it in this video. Geezer Butler changed the lyrics before it was recorded. Ozzy was singing the lyrics as Geezer had them written at that time. Same thing with Killing Yourself To Live on 'Live At Last'. Different lyrics on that live recording because Sabbath hadn't recorded the song yet. Geezer changed them before recording the album that time too.

So many great bands at that time, but the Sabs were the ones! First song I ever learned on bass was War Pigs - the baby version, as you like to put it, Alex! Not sure if you guys are still looking at these comments at 3 months, but I've enjoyed your Sabbath reactions the best. Yes, they were that good, freaked the crap out of parents and massively influential on us young nube players during the day. You should really give Hole in the Sky from Sabotage a listen - as always, an unbelievable tune.

    Only drummer that to me has ever sounded like a distinct instrument contributing to the song, rather than just there to create the rhythm and fill up the sound. Almost like Geezer and Tony are creating the rhythm, and Bill is drumming over it. Sounds like God's machine gun.
