OMG!! This is on my Grandfather's farm! The Great Ngaruawahia Music Festival - 1973. I still have the poster of the 3 day concert! My father recorded Black Sabbath on his film projector - that's how old technology was then - but my Dad was up to date with the times in those days!
My Grand Dad has since passed and his neighbor has Parkinson's now, so sad,,,,,, But I have good memories, a poster and a movie of Black Sabbath!! :) Actually, I live in the States rite now for work, but I will be moving back to NZ in 2yrs time, I will make an effort to post on UA-cam the movie my Dad has . It should on on here for sure - for die hard fans.....
@Stigbool "studio recording"? -you deaf or just not too familar with the studio version. There is no doubt this is a chunkier "live" version that was either recorded away from the bass amps while being closer to the old PA cabs and guitar side of the stage or: since this was recorded 72' at the earliest and they were pretty established by then they might have been using a colliseum sized horn loaded PA that sounded great to the ear but horrible when overpowering a super cheap tape recorder mic.
The neighbor I mention was involved because my Grand Dad didn't have enough land, so the Promoters asked him (neighbor) if they could use a little of his land for the camping grounds. (my Dad still has the newspaper clipping of the ground layout).
@Stigbool No it's not. Listen to the very end, or listen to the first half of the song. There's plenty of audience noises if you actually LISTEN. I guess it's just easier to listen to 3.5 seconds and assume that I'm a pathological and habitual liar, given the fact I have many more Sabbath posts of similar material. You're also probably one of those people that think the moon landings never happened and that WTC attack was a hoax.
Later, when the Promoters wanted to to do more concerts, the neighbor got greedy for more big money ;( the promoters turned him down and apologised to my Grand Dad as there was no deal. Then they looked for a new place - Puketaha, Hamilton - and Sweetwaters was born!

I saw Sabbath in Melbourne in 1974, awesome band. 70's bands were unbelievable, to see Black Sabbath in their prime is a great memory.
Perfect riff. Perfect song. Perfect drummer. Perfect band.

Pretty cool
Do you have the footage?
Dean_LP That'd be cool
We need to contact him some how and hope he didnt throw the recording away
Could you show the footage please?
ozzy's voice is PERFECT here
No rock album can match Vol. 4. Fantastic.
The murkiness of this sound makes the intro sound darker and heavier!

Great post, this is nice and heavy!
Love
Ozzy sounds GREAT.

Metal Rules!

@Stigbool It's live.

The shitty sound makes this 100x better!

@mgenty2k5 I totally agree with you. This is the studio recording.
gross doom
This sounds like the studio version just really bad quality
