Black Sabbath - Megalomania (Live) 6/15 Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 599 seconds An amazing version of "Megalomania", played live at Asbury Park, NJ on 8/5/1975. This also made it onto the "Past Lives" compilation. I think it's safe to say that Ozzy would not be able to sing this song now, as he had trouble singing it even back in 1975. Great solo by Iommi to close the song. Enjoy!

Black Sabbath - Smoke on the Water Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 331 seconds No, it's not a typo. Black Sabbath performed "Smoke on the Water" as an encore during Gillan's tenure in the band. This rendition comes from Worcester, MA on 11/4/1983. Quite good. Enjoy! Related: again, black, born, deep, gillan, heavy, ian, iommi, metal, on, purple, sabbath, smoke, the, tony, water, worcester |

Black Sabbath - Sabbra Cadabra, Pt. 1 (Live Cali Jam 1974) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 427 seconds Black Sabbath performing "Sabbra Cadabra" at California Jam in 1974. I've always liked this recording, even though it's not 100% perfect. It has a very raw sound, and the guitars have a unique sound that I haven't heard on any other Sabbath recording. I'd call it "uber-heavy". Anyway, I'm completely rambing now, so enjoy!

Black Sabbath - Neon Knights (Ian Gillan Vocals) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 304 seconds This was too hilarious for me not to post. In January 1984, Black Sabbath began another leg of the Born Again tour. For this leg, Gillan sang "Neon Knights" on several occasions, and it was...interesting... haha. I think Ian Gillan is an amazing vocalist but there are some songs he should just stay away from. This is one of them. Enjoy this interesting live moment. Related: 1984, again, black, born, deep, gillan, heavy, ian, iommi, knights, live, metal, neon, purple, sabbath, tony, tour |

Black Sabbath - Paranoid (Ian Gillan Vocals) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 216 seconds "Paranoid", live at Worcester, MA on 11/4/1983 with Ian Gillan. Gillan does a pretty good job, just a couple minor lyrical flubs, but he's totally redeemed when Iommi goes into the most killer solo I've ever heard him play for this song. Of course, they end with the "Heaven and Hell (reprise)", which I've always liked. Just a really good performance. Enjoy!

Black Sabbath - Changes (Live!) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 291 seconds A live version of Black Sabbath performing the song "Changes". This song was performed only twice, once with Ozzy in 1973, and this time with Martin at Tokyo in 1995. This was toward the end of an audience tape, and it begins hissing toward the end, which is too bad. Overall though, the quality is pretty good. Enjoy!

Black Sabbath - Computer God (Rob Halford Vocals) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 361 seconds This version of "Computer God" was performed during the first of two nights in Costa Mesa, CA on 11/14 and 11/15 1992. Dio abruptly left the band when Sabbath chose to open for Ozzy Osbourne these two shows and Rob Halford was recruited to fulfill vocal duties. "Computer God" was only played the first night, and not on the second night when Sabbath played four songs with Ozzy. Enjoy!

Phil Lynott (w/Wild Horses & Michael Schenker) - A Wee Jam Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 548 seconds I'll apologize for the sound quality in advance, but this is too sweet not to post. Phil Lynott and Michael Schenker showed up to jam with Wild Horses (Robertson/Bain) at the Electric Ballroom on 12/1/1979. This song was the end result. Enjoy!

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell (Live 1992) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 617 seconds Black Sabbath does a spirited version of "Heaven and Hell" in Reggio Emilia, Italy on 9/12/1992. Listen to Dio's choice of words, especially in the "Little White Shape" section. Dio and Sabbath have done some great versions of Heaven and Hell, but unforunately I'd have to break them up into 2 vids to post them. This one is just short enough to get by.

Black Sabbath - Into the Void (Live w/Alternate Lyrics) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 434 seconds A rare live version of "Into the Void" performed at Sheffield, England on 1/14/1971. The funny thing is that the album Paranoid had just come out in the US in January 1971, but Sabbath were already playing live versions of songs that were to come from their next album at around the same time.

Black Sabbath - Tony Iommi Guitar Solo (Hartford 1980) 10/13 Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 535 seconds A vicious live guitar solo by Tony Iommi at Hartford, CT 8/10/1980. Includes the famous breakdown part that was first heard at Cali Jam '74, Orchid, a crushing couple stanzas of the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath riff, and some jazzy improv. One of the best solos I've heard Mr. Iommi play. Related: 1980, and, black, guitar, hartford, heaven, hell, iommi, sabbath, solo, tony |

Black Sabbath - Under the Sun (Live 2001) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 356 seconds Black Sabbath has 4 known live versions of "Under the Sun". The Dayton '72 version has already been graciously posted. I have the '72 Hollywood Bowl version, which sound-wise is a lot like the Dayton version. There are also two renditions done in 2001, prior to Ozzfest. This is the second of those two, live at Milton Keynes, UK on 5/26/2001. Enjoy!

Black Sabbath - Spiral Architect (Live) 13/15 Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 277 seconds "Spiral Architect", live at Asbury Park, NJ on 8/5/1975. This song was not played live many times, just on this tour, and then again a few times in '01 I believe. This is one of the best live versions I've heard of it, and of course...it's not on "Past Lives". Pity. Enjoy!

Black Sabbath - Megalomania Jam (Live 1974) Posted by: blacksabfan
Video duration: 208 seconds This is an audio of Black Sabbath playing the riff to what would become "Megalomania", @ Brisbane, Australia on 11/7/1974. Ozzy had a bad cold during the show, so he struggled during many of the songs and a lot of extended guitar and drum solos were played. Here, Ozzy ad-libs a few lyrics while the band jams. Enjoy!
