I think Bill Ward's performance in this show is the greatest exhibition of ballsy, powerful, take no prisoners rock drumming ever captured on film! (A close second is Keith Moon's performance with The Who in their tremendous show at Tanglewood, 1970.)
Ward after years of listening to the greats i finally came to my conclusion before that great hole in the sky absorbs me that Bill Ward is the greatest of the greats.
The reason that the lyrics are different is because this concert was performed prior to the release of the Paranoid album, and thus the song was still a work in progress. So, Ozzy did not fuck up the lyrics, as what he sang were the lyrics considered for the song at the time. I find it fascinating to hear a live performance of a song not yet officially released. And what a killer performance it was!
Geezer was always the one in the background. In 2016 my wife got me VIP meet n greet tickets with sabbath and he was almost shocked I wanted to sit and talk to him. I've always been a geezer Butler fan yes Ozzy is a good to me but honestly I have met and hung out with Ozzy many many times over the course of 40 years. I just wanted to sit and talk to geezer and bill unfortunately bill did not tour with them in 2016. But I had such a great time talking to geezer he was almost amazed I even knew who he was. Iommi in my opinion is a very smug personality almost like he was too good for the meet and greet. Tommy clofetus was a cool down to earth dude he was replacing bill on the tour and did an amazing job with a 15+ minute drum solo he did that solo every time they played how his arms aren't hulk Hogan sized I don't know.
I’ve lost so many people that I admired to dope over the last 25 years… this song really hits deep. Love this band and this for me is their best song. The message is so clear.
So glad these guys hooked up back in the day! Paranoid is such an epic album. Hours upon hours of partying, learning to play, getting stoned, and sheer joy! Love it...✌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻
This is the only real Black Sabbath Ozzy amazing frontman unique voice Geezer heavy bass lines, awesome lyrics Toni the riff master Bill Drummer extraordinaire
Thank you Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and Bill - your epic, jamming prowess has enriched my appreciation of music and life. This footage is a treasure, and I am grateful it is available to the world. Crank it up.
I had this album when it came out, I was five years old and this song scared the crap out of me!😂 We lived in California at the time so I was exposed to all of the great bands of that time / I was in first grade and my older sister had all of the led Zeppelin, deep purple ,black Sabbath etc which I would listen to all the time!
Just watching these guys makes me want to to just pick up my bass and practice. I just started learning how to play bass and I bought a sabbath riff by riff bass book and I want to learn this song.
Try to learn Geezer's right hand technique. I play bass too, he is my bass god. So many hours, month's to play his right hand technique and im pretty close to him. Very cool thing, i hope You try!
@@Zeitgeist64 geezer has a galloping style, where he uses his ring finger. But holy shit hes great. One of my favorites next to Geddy Lee and john Paul Jones. Bootsy Collins is really good too. Billy Sheehan is a monster
B!baszott király volt!! Fú gyerekek! Ilyen számokat már sosem fognak írni! Másikat, jót még csak csak, de ilyet, biztos hogy nem! Black Sabbath, Deep Purple és Led Zeppelin! El sem lehet mondani, hogy mennyi mindent köszönünk nekik! Isten áldja mindnyájukat! Sokáig éljen a Rock n Roll!!! 🤘🤘
well any sabbath fan knows that they alter the lyrics up until the moment of release (sometimes after if ozzy was on a bender). but I actually dig this version, could've been a b-side. the main thing I love about this one (and the only thing that different) is that the lyrics reference psychedelics rather than heroin like the album version, the album version scared me to death during a snowed in acid trip on jim morrison's birthday last year (dec. 8).
@@elbuchito2907 it’s just hyped imo but I get it. I’d even say Mitch Mitchell was better than Keith Moon. Maybe I’m just a fan of jazz techniques applied in rock and roll. But that’s just me.
One of my fav songs from Sabbath, about VietNam vets addicted to heroin. What a shame. I think of this song whilst watching the Kensington junkies live stream, they need help injecting their neck, such a true song!
Bill Ward cannot be replaced. He is THE Sabbath drummer. Heavy and jazzy at the same time. Ridiculous.
He's so underrated.
I think Vinny Appice would disagree.
@@drivinsouth651 oh behave. Bill better than vinny lol. Drop me Out 😭
@@jackthomson5047 He was before the wrath of grapes and Dionysus, but I never said Vinnie was better, anyway. Is that believable enough for you?
@@jackthomson5047 Everybody knows Animal is the greatest drummer in the Universes! th-cam.com/video/3AZz9TSjZCM/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1&t=38
This is the most iconic camera footage ever!! These guys were SO ahead of their time.
rock dog it’s enhanced by some software, looked similar but not as crisp.. not in 1970.
"Nikonic."
The incredible connection between Geezer and Bill Ward is absolutely unmatched!

Thats the fact Jack GEEZER @@goatfokerkadyrov7528
Bill sits down ans says " yes, these drums need a thorough beating"
CRUSHES THEM! SO UNDERRATED
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Unoriginal
@@NumNaughts you're a jackass
there is no band better than this
Ozzys voice is my number 1 favorite ever.
100% agreed, i'm 18 and in love with sabbath
@@louiskerckhove8704 dude that’s so awesome
I love sabbath a lot but I definitely think there are bands better than it like the beetles Led Zeppelin cream Stevie Ray Vaughan queen Jimi Hendrix
to me nothing is better than led zeppelin and black sabbath!!!
Bill Ward is a monster drummer.
Incredible band but Bill Ward holy shit what drumming..

Dis song is for real it's talking about wat da hands of doom can do
Like the version of Killing Yourself to Live on Live at Last and Past Lives. Great version.
I didn`t even notice, lol!
Love that bit of info.
Qzzy never sings the lyrics the same way twice.
im a drummer and yes bill ward is an absolute beast
but no one is mentioning geezer?! and he gets basically zero camera time
Geezer was always the one in the background. In 2016 my wife got me VIP meet n greet tickets with sabbath and he was almost shocked I wanted to sit and talk to him. I've always been a geezer Butler fan yes Ozzy is a good to me but honestly I have met and hung out with Ozzy many many times over the course of 40 years.

DVL Exotics wow. So cool that you got to meet them
@@jesseywallerdiemont9911 yeah it was cool I have met Ozzy literally 20-30 times over the years.
I know. He was shredding the shit out of his bass! a killer!
Geezer is one of the nicest genuine human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. My dad and geezer used to party in the 80’s together
My god, Bill was just awesome. Geezer's bass riffs really made hand of Doom
Ozzy casually like yeah I'm just gonna go sing "hand of doom" real quick.
😂😂😂😩🤘🏼
Yeah he’s always made it seem so effortless, it’s because he’s not a “classically” trained singer, he made it work for the band
It just so happens his “comfortable” singing is fucking insane
Bill Ward, insane power and the true heartbeat of the band...Crazy good...
Now that you've seen it for yourself, just try and deny the fact that these guys are the greatest band of all time!
While I prefer Zeppelin, Sabbath is definitely the best metal band
100%.
Theres no other band i would really search and watch old concert footage. Sabbath is the best.
Possibly the best thing which came out of the 70's
Ozzy looked and sounded so good here
He was a handsome devil!
Bill Ward omg. Most underrated drummer ever. This is so funky and such a great song. Radio really sucks for not playing this.
I’ve lost so many people that I admired to dope over the last 25 years… this song really hits deep. Love this band and this for me is their best song. The message is so clear.
Geezer man lol. Always having such a good time jamming on that bass
10,000 watts of pure Rock energy.
All 4 at peak performance level.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Agreed!!🤘🏼
What’s better than this? Guys bein doods
So glad these guys hooked up back in the day! Paranoid is such an epic album. Hours upon hours of partying, learning to play, getting stoned, and sheer joy! Love it...✌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻
This version is the best one in my opinion
No doubt
This is the only real Black Sabbath
Ozzy amazing frontman unique voice
Geezer heavy bass lines, awesome lyrics
Toni the riff master
Bill Drummer extraordinaire
Imo if it’s got tony it’s sabbath, too much other awesome sabbath.
I'll never stop saying it: WHAT AMAZING DRUMS, BILL!
Every one of these four is a master at their craft. Epic band. You’re welcome metal, sincerely Ozzy Tomy Geezer and Bill
I sincerely believe that Animal (drummer for the muppets) is based off of Bill Ward.
Although bill ward is definately one of the greatest drummers of all time, im pretty sure that animal was based off of keith moon
@@aaronsutherland9743 i thought it was bonham
Animal's based on Keith Moon, but has a healthy mix of Bill Ward and John Bonham in him
Na Philthy Animal Taylor. Now THAT is a drummer although Bill wipes the floor with him.
There's always great swing in Sabbath's music!!!! 👑
You're totally right on! Not many people get that, how they can sound so heavy and still groove. Hard to do. Not a lot of metal bands can pull it off.
@@paulknobloch3440 snowblind has got an amazing groove
Your mind begins to plot...
BECAUSE YOU TRIP ALOT!
no wonder why there is no dislikes
Sabbath rules ... the godfathers of doom
Well unfortunately there is now 3
Metal Royalty
And now TH-cam removed them lmao
Ozzy actually looks sober 😂😂
Guitar dude01301 I know right? This was before the heavy drugs and boozing
@@davemac9563 Before they could afford drugs. Lol.
DaveMac95 he was pretty fucked up at the Paris show in ‘70
Are you kidding? He is tripping balls!
Only thing he could be high on at the time was weed most likely.
Geezer writes the best lyrics.
Bill's drums are just killer in these recordings. What a beast! Ozzy's vocals are perhaps the best live Sabbath ever recorded, he sounds fabulous.
7:54 i love what Bill does here... absolute beast.
Thank you Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and Bill - your epic, jamming prowess has enriched my appreciation of music and life. This footage is a treasure, and I am grateful it is available to the world.
Crank it up.
One of the powerhouse rhythm sections that ever existed 👍👍👍👍
what ppl don't know this is anti drug song ….well done
The irony of Ozzy making an anti-drug song
@@RebelQueenAmelia Geezer wrote the lyrics I believe
@@sandipbiswas766 The irony of Ozzy singing an anti drug song
@@RebelQueenAmelia Yep! Ironical indeed😂😂
@@RebelQueenAmelia well it’s specifically about heroin and Ozzy has said he only did heroin once and didn’t like it.
Very lucky to have this live stuff
Not many pay attention to the bass player. Geezer, Leo Lyons and Entwhistle were three players I couldn't take my eyes off.
Me too. His style is all his. Such technique.
I had this album when it came out, I was five years old and this song scared the crap out of me!😂 We lived in California at the time so I was exposed to all of the great bands of that time / I was in first grade and my older sister had all of the led Zeppelin, deep purple ,black Sabbath etc which I would listen to all the time!
Top 3 best sabbath songs of all time!!
Ozzy is by far the greatest doom metal singer of all time. No contest.
bill ward !!!!, one of the greatest no doubt
What drumming. These new bands have a massive drum kit 47 symbols and all that. No need here. Go on bill
Very well said. Cheers.
Bills a true drummer
OMG! Bill Ward is such a demon!
My favorite Sabbath song!
Holy fuckin shit, how badass is 5:51- 5:56
Pegada do doom metal, início de um blues pesado, que massa! 😃😎

Ashame new music isn't great like this...... Bill Ward one of the most hard hitting drummers.....
Love you black Sabbath
They were master musicians. So tight. Nice video work, love the HD work. Nice to see a video taped in real time.
I got hooked when I was 12 ... on Sabbs 😇
josip mickovic 8 track player hard and heavy hits iron man
THEY SOUND SOOO GOOD!!!! Serious talent this is freaking sweet🤘🏼🤘🏼 And let's be honest Ozzy looking darling here.
B!baszott király volt!!
Fú gyerekek!
Ilyen számokat már sosem fognak írni!
Másikat, jót még csak csak, de ilyet, biztos hogy nem!
Black Sabbath, Deep Purple és Led Zeppelin!
El sem lehet mondani, hogy mennyi mindent köszönünk nekik!
Isten áldja mindnyájukat!
Sokáig éljen a Rock n Roll!!! 🤘🤘
The drum and rythm reminds me of triphop.sounds bluesy as well!
Black Sabbath, a maior banda de Heavy Metal de todos os tempos.
Sabbath rules🎶🎸 🥁 🎸 🎤and always have and will
Oh my god! This is fucking amazing! Geezer Butler... holy shit! That man is crazy!
I often wonder if Bill based this beat on the factory assembly line where he worked 😂
That is some of the best drumming ever 👍
Wonder how man rap songs sampled these drums
Bill ward, the most underrated drummer of all time
Should be split screen half for us to watch Bill and half to see the Band
Geezer's bass intro is fucking epic in this one
At 4:55 head's been blown out and it starts again. It's sinister.
It did that in the beginning too lol
4:29 Tony Iommi electrifies your soul.
the birth of heavy
Sabbath and queen sound as good live as the studio!!!!

And right there, at 7:22, Bill Ward invented the blast beat.
Thank you for posting this.
As real as it gets.
Stay gold.
Bill was going hard here
I Love Drums on This Song, Have For 46 Years.
Geezer has that old school right hand technique The Ox did it too don’t really see that anymore John 5 has a really good bass player too 🛒
