Cool! 1978 was around the time I discovered Black Sabbath as an eleven year old. I bought a copy of Master of Reality from a discount bin for three or four bucks and then saved up for a copy of We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll for twelve or thirteen bucks. "Snowblind" was the song before "N.I.B." on side four. That's a compilation album so all four sides were packed with choice tunage. I'm glad my parents didn't get too bent over the racket coming from the stereo in my room. Heh. I saw them in concert two years later, but Ronnie James Dio was fronting them by that point. It wasn't Ozzy Sabbath, so we were slightly disappointed, but Dio was way cool -- we sat right up front and he slapped our hands a dozen times over -- so in the end it didn't matter. Anybody else taking Ozzy's place would have had an even harder time of it. Funny how watching that clip all these decades later after watching old man Ozzy bumble his way around a TV show for a decade and the rest it turns out that Ozzy always mumbled a lot. Dio, RIP. Ozzy, Live Long and Prosper!
This song on the studio recording is in the musical key of C sharp. On this performance, it's in the key of E, which is 3 keys higher! I'm amazed that Ozzy was able to hit those notes.

An anti-cocaine song fueled by cocaine, one of my favorite songs in their catalog. 🤘

That was the final tour with Ozzy and one of the few live performances from the Ozzy era to be filmed.
Ozzie!!!! Bill Ward!!!!
