Ozzie invented head-banging! Black Sabbath was BIG from the beginning. They were part of the "British Invasion" of rock-n-roll spreading across the pond to the USA. Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, Cream, The Beatles, and the list goes on. Others of the era were The Who, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Robin Trower, Uriah Heep, Foghat, there's just no end to the talent from those years.
Two microphones back in those day, often because one was for either the on-stage monitors or straight to an audio recorder, and another mic for the Public Address system.
The unique sounds of Black Sabbath. From drummer Bill Ward using his sticks upside down to guitarist Tony Iommi having steel finger tips from losing them in an industrial accident to the unmistakable sound of Ozzy's voice. Forgotten in this video was Geezer Butler setting the pace on bass. Keep in mind they were 21 and 22yrs old at that time
I was 16 yrs old. 11th grade in 1971,,, my highschool had about 3 thousand students there. only about 20 liked Sabbath. We were " THE HEADS" smoked and drank and Partyed, By the end of my 12th year 2/3 were digging Sabbath. Their first 3 albums grabbed them !
I saw Black Sabbath on Never Say Die in 79 and Ozzy solo on Blizzard of OZZ and Randy Rhoads last show on the Diary of a Madman in Knoxville Tennessee. OZZFEST and Black Sabbath in 1999. Sabbath and Ozzy enough said! 😎😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Almost every band in the late sixties and early seventies made anti-war songs. That was pretty normal back then and didn't hurt the bands' careers. It was the time of the Vietnam War and the musicians were mostly born shortly after World War II and grew up in poor circumstances. Black Sabbath's bassist Geezer Butler mostly wrote the lyrics. Black Sabbath, along with Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, were the most important hard rock band at the time
Absolutely not. I love the lyrics to this song and it diminishes the song significantly that Ozzy messes them up. The line, “They leave that role to the poor” is the most important line in the song.
@@aswanson7253 Glad to hear it, but not for me. Those lyrics are a crucial part of the song & also one of the things that gets the biggest reaction from UA-camrs.
I got to see them in the mid 1970's. It was a great concert!!!! No one sounded like Sabbath, no one! Tony the guitar play loss his finger tips on his right hand, yet he can do this. This is a good protest song!!! The lyrics apply these days as ever!!! Ozzy can sing, yet these days he can have a hard time stringing a sentence together.. SAD!! Rock & roll is a hard life!!!! They were a great band!!!! Hall of Fame good!!!!!!
Two Mics back then meant that one was for the concert venue and audience PA, the other is for recording machines. PA systems and recording boards were separate where now all audio can all be routed together in the mixing boards by just one sound engineer.
they were huge in the early 70's and then again in the later 70's, when the Paranoid album came out was when they took off 1970, there was always absence of evil in the music that i got and i was maybe 11 year old.My older brother had the album
One of the best antiwar songs. People never bothered to listen to lyrics so they often thought it was pro war. There is another version with a story video that is really good thematically. Agree, he was once super talented. The later reality TV years were sad. Culmination of excessive drug use, but primarily alcohol abuse deterioration.
Ozzy is called the Prince of Darkness but he is a religious man who cusses a lot but no one is perfect. He just passionately writes about all the bad things in the world ,so people think he has evil tendencies but he is a good person
I come from the black country ((west midlands UK) just down the road from these guys but I was too young to see them live. Fortunately I caught them live when they got back together 😃
This is a prime example of how great music was back then. This is about as raw as you can get, but they are fantastic; these are musicians from the best era of music. Iommi and Sabbath created an entire genre of music (heavy metal). Bill Ward on drums, along with Butler on bass formed such a great rhythm section to compliment the guitar. A common saying is there is Sabbath and people who are copying sabbath (something like that).
At the time of this concert the lyrics to War Pigs were still a work in progress. They were finalized by the time they finished recording the Paranoid album.
I saw Black Sabbath and Humble Pie at the Alexandria Roller Rink back in '71 ($4.00 a ticket), and it was one of the best concerts I've seen. Humble Pie opened and their set was incredible, to the point that we were wondering how Sabbath could follow that. But Ozzy and the guys put on a pretty impressive show themselves and managed the trick. But Humble Pie did make them have to break a sweat.
My personal Diary I wrote the next day after the last show of Randy Rhoads in Knoxville Tennessee! RIP RANDY! YOU ARE SORELY MISSED! OZZY OSBOURNE: THURSDAY MARCH 18TH 1982: RANDY RHOADS LAST SHOW AT THE KNOXVILLE CIVIC COLISEUM: DIARY OF A MADMAN TOUR: Upon entering the coliseum after buying my tour shirt and ticket 🎫 stub processing: I noticed the stage was set up like a medieval castle with arches and bats 🦇 flying around the top of them. There was a staircase leading up to Tommy Aldridge’s Drumkit. The top left of Tommy was where Donny Airey’s keyboards were set up. Stage right and left had to cages with which Randy Rhoads would appear from the floor stage right and Rudy Sarzo stage left. OZZY had a throne of which he would appear out of to start the show to Over the Mountain. Tommy had his drum tech dressed as an Executioner stand beside his kit with his arms crossed. The staircase had a small section that would open and a small dwarf named: Ronnie (after Ronnie James Dio the new singer for Black Sabbath-replacing OZZY) and hand OZZY towels and water between songs. Little did we all know that later in the show: the executioner would bring the dwarf out to be hung from the rafters and later he would cut off his head using a guillotine! At the end of the show OZZY climbed onto a giant mechanical hand that OZZY stood on top of and launched unspecified meat 🥩 🍖 into the audience! Of course it was all an a theatrical act as the dwarf appeared to take a bow with OZZY and the band. When OZZY smiled we noticed he put vampire 🧛♀️ teeth in! We laughed hard! I went to the show with my friend Richard and his older brother Greg who was 18 at the time. We were 13. Greatest show on earth! Richard and I were both terrified and thrilled at what we witnessed! Unfortunately the next morning all that excitement and energy was gone as we learned that Randy Rhoads perished in a plane crash in Florida. Richard and I played drums but Greg played guitar 🎸 and he definitely took it the hardest! One of the greatest guitarist of our generation and had just won the new guitarist of the year by Guitar Player magazine. Rest In Peace Randy Rhoads your music lives on! Sincerely, Gary Lagstrom
Geezer wrote the lyrics for this and most of the Sabbath songs. The live version lyrics here aren't quite right, maybe this was too early version. Glad you heard the studio version, very wonderful iconic lyrics. The energy here in the live version's incredible though, Bill is a beast on the drums. I don't think the song hurt their career in any way, became one of their biggest songs, but the record label did rename the album from War Pigs to Paranoid because they were afraid it might be too controversial in the US.
That whole live in Paris show.. and there is a LOT MORE.. the sound mix is so amazing for back in the day. and all of the songs are better live than on the release .. i't s amazing. The other one it compares to in terms of sound and live performance for that era has to be tanglewood and Chicago. Maybe there is a live doors at that time .. have to see. I bet they kicked ass too. Niel Young live on BBC about that time too. Amazing sound
Sabbath were huge in the 70s and the godfathers of metal . In my opinion probably one of the greatest debut albums ever in the self titled masterpiece Black Sabbath . Ozzy was massively famous for 30 plus years before the reality TV thing but it introduced him to another generation I suppose .
That's a very interresting question. Black sabbath is founded 1968, ozzy has composed the most for the band. For me ozzy is my hero of real 70's heavy metal. Very enjoyable greatings from victorinox town ibach. Bye you lovely both
Ozzy sings funny lyrics, Tony fluffs a power chord at the start of Luke's Wall. The cameraman can't find Geezer. And still one of the all-time great performances.
THE KING BISCUIT FLOUR HOUR PROUDLY OZZY OSBOURNE IN CONCERT…LET’S JOIN OZZY ON STAGE ALREADY IN PROGRESS: HERE’S ANOTHER NUMBER OFF THE ALBUM NOW ENTITLED: FLYING HIGH AGAIN SO KEEP ON SMOKING THEM JOINTS!!!😎😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥 🚬🚬 🚬
The biggest mistake I made, was watching this version for the very first time...late at night. I was so pumped up , that I could have run around the block a few times. So much for sleeping. LOL!
One of the greatest live performances ever BS were huge back in the early 70's but they were shunned by radio stations becos they were so hardcore My mate and I use to pushbike from Primary School at 12 years old in about 1972 and listen to BS at lunchtime then pushbike back to school
Ozzy didn't do The Osbourne's because he needed money, he had a lot of hits as a solo artist, and he toured with his Ozzfest music festival for decades. His wife/manager Sharon is known as a very tough business woman. He's worth a couple of hundred million dollars.
Dominika, you're looking at the song through today's lenses. They prob had Moms Against Devil Music, or other social groups like that protesting bands and songs but that usually made them more popular. The band KISS, I think got the most hate from those groups. They literally thought they were devils. The band gained a sort of acronym for their name, Knights In Satan's Service. The band exploded in the 70's and it had nothing to do with devil worshiping. Their costumes, performances and of course the music was all part of a big package with them. So big that they created what they call the Kiss Army. Of course you paid a membership fee and you would maybe get memorabilia type stuff. I think they even had a comic book. It was crazy. Their marketing was possibly bigger than their music. Every song from this show is great, but if you prefer to listen to the studio first, I won't go anywhere. Sabbath is at the top of the list for me!! Love you both❤
You know, people always talk about John Bonham and Neil Peart when discussing greatest rock drummers of all time, and for good reason… But damn, when you watch this, you wonder why Bill Ward isn’t mentioned in the same sentence! Maybe he was a bit more one-dimensional, but my God, is there any other drumming performance that’s more exciting!
I'm not a drummer but I understand why the former are held in such high esteem. Don't get me wrong the call and response fills on this track between guitar and drums are my favourite and I love the "chorus" section but bonham and moon for me were both technically the most brilliant
I’m just curious: Is Zeppelin dead on your channel? You seemed to like them so much, I’m Perplexed by their disappearance. Are they in a Queue somewhere?
This is the Birth of the band...and their lyrics were about War, Drugs and Satanism...! Never PROBLEMS...The Heavy Metal Fathers!! ❤❤❤ but I prefer the Ronnie James Dio Era!!
The drums should have sued Bill Ward for abuse. All of his drumming was single stroke technique mostly 16th notes. That takes stamina or really good drugs.
You Don't see much of him But just listen to Geezer Butler on Bass... going berserk.. as too Obviously Bill Ward on Drums.. absoluteley destroying that kit..
Bill Ward playing the drums like they owe him money.
They did owe him money but Bill set them straight and I think they learned their lesson...........
Good one! Never heard that before.
He killed it!
Great way to put it, mate!
Musta been a pretty large loan
Ozzie invented head-banging! Black Sabbath was BIG from the beginning. They were part of the "British Invasion" of rock-n-roll spreading across the pond to the USA. Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, Cream, The Beatles, and the list goes on.

Two microphones back in those day, often because one was for either the on-stage monitors or straight to an audio recorder, and another mic for the Public Address system.
One was for the PA system and the other was for the filming of the concert.
Ozzy has one of the most unique voices in rock history. Very iconic.
Of course, the rest of the band was elite too. Great, great band!

This is by far and away the best version of War Pigs.
Absolutely not. I love the lyrics to this song and it diminishes the song significantly that Ozzy messes them up. The line, “They leave that role to the poor” is the most important line in the song.
@@MrCBTman Being able to watch Bill Ward kill those drums trumps any lyric that might have been lost.
@@aswanson7253 Glad to hear it, but not for me. Those lyrics are a crucial part of the song & also one of the things that gets the biggest reaction from UA-camrs.
@@MrCBTman No, he didn't mess up the lyrics, those were the original lyrics, they changed them later on..
@@m4r4d0n4p3l3 Not true..
The most dynamic live drum sound I have ever heard.
The song is relevant even now.
Maybe more so now
Black Sabbath-“Fairies Wear Boots “🤘
this was them at the beginning guys.. sab and zep where best of pals. from youth
Bill Ward had to have a new drum set after every concert. 😂
I don't even know how that poor set held up for the whole song.
They were part of the unholy trinity along with led zeppelin and deep purple All three were masters at they're craft and were extremely popular
Fun Fact Zepp and Sabbath liked each other's band!
The Late John Bonham was a good friend of Ozzy. At one point they shot some Guns together. Bonzo's son (Jason) was telling the story not long ago. ✌️😉
The Godfathers of heavy metal!!! Classic and good songs are like that, immortal!!!
Hahahaha, thats a load of shit
@@51nwyou stink of special education

Have you ever heard drums hit so hard!!!!!
YAY!!! One Of THE **BEST** Live performances EVER!!! SO **Powerful** F YEA!!! **RockON!!!**
Bill Ward is brilliant on drums in this live performance this a great anti war song fantastic live performance by everyone but Bill is the star here!!
As relevant today, as it was yesterday! 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Black Sabbeth was huge back then and remained so after this song.
Two Mics back then meant that one was for the concert venue and audience PA, the other is for recording machines. PA systems and recording boards were separate where now all audio can all be routed together in the mixing boards by just one sound engineer.
Sabbath, Zeppelin and Deep Purple - The Classic Trinity!
Bill Ward is an animal on those drums.
In 1977 i saw Black Sabbath live in my hometown and in 1983 Ozzy Osbourne in Germany. Crazy good band. I love his haunting voice 👹🤘
Ozzy soooo suuuuuuper, because he loved the public, the Performance, because he has a sooo goood heart. I love ozzy till my death. Ozzy forever!!!!!!
Sometimes seeing it happen is even more mind blowing.
they were huge in the early 70's and then again in the later 70's, when the Paranoid album came out was when they took off 1970, there was always absence of evil in the music that i got and i was maybe 11 year old.My older brother had the album

Love you guys. this is so much better. They were all under 24. Wow this is good
At the time of this concert the lyrics to War Pigs were still a work in progress. They were finalized by the time they finished recording the Paranoid album.
Sabbath was great !!!!!!!!!!
You guys turned into metalheads spontaneously. With this performance how could you not?
Always listen to the studio version first. Having said that good reactions. Stay safe! 🤘

In 1970 Rock Music was not mainstream. The War Pigs considered Rock Music enthusiasts a small fringe minority and therefore inconsequential.

Original lyrics…..different from what went on the album 🤘🏼🎸🔥(2nd-verse)
Sabbath were huge in the 70s and the godfathers of metal . In my opinion probably one of the greatest debut albums ever in the self titled masterpiece Black Sabbath . Ozzy was massively famous for 30 plus years before the reality TV thing but it introduced him to another generation I suppose .
Origin of Metal 🤘🏽😎
Black Sabbath is the most important band in the metal history ever!!!! Tony Iommi invented the best riffs ever, Geezer Butler is the best bassist
AND this was LIVE
Lovin u guys!! Ozzy has sooo much to listen too!! Give him and Randy a try-u won’t be disappointed!! Crazy Train or Mr. Crowley 1981!!🙂
I saw Black Sabbath live a few times, with Ozzy as the lead singer and then with Ronnie James Dio as the lead. Both were incredibly awesome.
That's a very interresting question. Black sabbath is founded 1968, ozzy has composed the most for the band. For me ozzy is my hero of real 70's heavy metal. Very enjoyable greatings from victorinox town ibach. Bye you lovely both
Don't forget Geezer, a major influence .
Ozzy has produced a couple of songs on the first 8 Sabbath albums. Geezer was the lyricist.
Ozzy sings funny lyrics, Tony fluffs a power chord at the start of Luke's Wall. The cameraman can't find Geezer.
And still one of the all-time great performances.
Not funny lyrics originally the lyrics to the song
THE KING BISCUIT FLOUR HOUR PROUDLY OZZY OSBOURNE IN CONCERT…LET’S JOIN OZZY ON STAGE ALREADY IN PROGRESS: HERE’S ANOTHER NUMBER OFF THE ALBUM NOW ENTITLED: FLYING HIGH AGAIN SO KEEP ON SMOKING THEM JOINTS!!!😎😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥 🚬🚬 🚬
Anything live from the early days is fun. Ozzy was drunk and or high, even in official music videos he was loaded. 🤟🏻
1970. Beginning of metal….sabbath, Deep Purple In Rock ….
Ozzy screws up the lyrics, but Bill Ward on the drums is just KILLING it.
Sort of. He's mixing the finished War Pigs lyrics with the earlier Walpurgis lyrics. Not sure why....the Paranoid album was released before this show.
Ozzy wrote the lyrics so he can sing whatever he wants. It's his song. LOL 🙂
Songwriter(s) Tony Iommi · Ozzy Osbourne · Geezer Butler · Bill Ward @@Straydogger
When they heard blue cheer summer time blues and mc5 kick up the jam and fright pink and New York dolls and iggy pop
They were big out of the gate although the critics hated them.
I'm pissed they only showed Geezer for like 1.5 seconds - he was absolutely shredding on bass!
The biggest mistake I made, was watching this version for the very first time...late at night. I was so pumped up , that I could have run around the block a few times. So much for sleeping. LOL!
🇬🇧 Ozzy, Killin it on vocals 🎤🎶.... The drummer though? (I'm sorry, I don't know his name. I was more into Soul & Motown back then!) ❤
This rendition includes the verse that wasn't allowed play on the radio!
One of the greatest live performances ever
BS were huge back in the early 70's but they were shunned by radio stations becos they were so hardcore
My mate and I use to pushbike from Primary School at 12 years old in about 1972
and listen to BS at lunchtime then pushbike back to school
The ren big push band is incredible 🔥
Masters of Heavy Metal VS The masters of Wars
Ozzy didn't do The Osbourne's because he needed money, he had a lot of hits as a solo artist, and he toured with his Ozzfest music festival for decades. His wife/manager Sharon is known as a very tough business woman. He's worth a couple of hundred million dollars.
One microphone is for the PA system and the other is recording the sound.

These lyrics were not the actual ones use on the album as this performance predated the release of the Parinoid album
They are so good. Ozzy’s last album was also great. He still can sing but his body let’s him down. Try ‘Megalomania’
From curacao❤❤🇨🇼🇨🇼🇨🇼😌
The only controversy about this song was the original title ,"Walpurgis" .It referenced witches and the record company thoought it sounded to satanic
Fantastic 👍
This is an early version with largely different lyrics to the finished album version.
You know, people always talk about John Bonham and Neil Peart when discussing greatest rock drummers of all time, and for good reason… But damn, when you watch this, you wonder why Bill Ward isn’t mentioned in the same sentence! Maybe he was a bit more one-dimensional, but my God, is there any other drumming performance that’s more exciting!
No. It's the best drumming I ever saw .... on such a modest kit as well.
I'm not a drummer but I understand why the former are held in such high esteem. Don't get me wrong the call and response fills on this track between guitar and drums are my favourite and I love the "chorus" section but bonham and moon for me were both technically the most brilliant
Can't remember if you guys have listened to The Big Push Ren's busking version of War Pigs
Bill Ward is the drummer and main lyricist. People complained about them being satanic but they were mostly anti-war and pro-partying.
Pity about the copyright most other reactors don't have this issue.
The drums...
Tons of great Sabbath and Ozzy Music out there if you are interested.
You both are sooooo cuuuuude!!!!!
Nightwish did a cover of this song
I’m just curious: Is Zeppelin dead on your channel? You seemed to like them so much, I’m
Perplexed by their disappearance. Are they in a Queue somewhere?
This is the Birth of the band...and their lyrics were about War, Drugs and Satanism...! Never PROBLEMS...The Heavy Metal Fathers!! ❤❤❤ but I prefer the Ronnie James Dio Era!!
the band ?
Popular with pot heads & wierdos in 70's.
The drums should have sued Bill Ward for abuse. All of his drumming was single stroke technique mostly 16th notes. That takes stamina or really good drugs.
im always amazed how bad you tube subtitles are lol
Never knew until now, I'm 69.
You Don't see much of him But just listen to Geezer Butler on Bass... going berserk.. as too Obviously Bill Ward on Drums.. absoluteley destroying that kit..
Just my opinion but the studio version would have been the better one to start with. Ozzie messes up the words too in this version.
I think it only helped them🤔
