Almost an hour of live Sabbath from the 1978 "Never Say Die" tour. They open with "Symptom of the Universe" and continue rockin' from there.......

I've seen that documentary, it's really cool. THe video for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is hilarious, it shows what happens when you give cameras to British people with too much money, free time, and cocaine. I like dthe whole retrospective thing, particularly the Paris shows, early in their career. By the time of Never Say Die, though, they were pretty much spent as a creative force, rehashing old riffs and getting into generic lyrical territory about fucking groupies and getting 'scripted for drugs by the "Rock and Roll Doctor" (another bad idea--mentioning "rock" in a rock song. Not good, generally a classless move.) I like them A LOT up through Sabotage, and there are one or two songs on Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die that are OK, but I think Heaven and Hell was a breath of fresh air, but it got as stale as week old bongwater real quick, Mob Rules and most everything after it really sucked. Born Again has some moments, but still suffers from post-Sabotage suckiness of the overblown, coke fueled variety. Ian Gillen also had trouble lowering his vocal range to match Ozzy's voice, and it didn't really work out. "Zero THe Hero" is kind of a cool song, but the riff is basically a rehash of "Heaven and Hell" I saw them at Ozzfest a few years ago, and they RAWKED. I was thinking before the show, "THis could be a really cheesy, nostalgia act or it could be really cool" and it was better than I could have imagined. They were amazingly tight, and that drug damaged cretin with the shrewd businesswoman spouse certainly has enough lefrt upstairs to be a great frontman, hell, that's probably the only thing he knows how to do. Good thing he does it very very well.

So I finally got to see Black Sabbath in concert...
That was one of the best live sets I've ever seen!
-
Oooh thanks man! Hope they play" hand of doom" and "snowblind"..
-
np, NB. I think "Snowbind;s in there, nothing off of "Paranoid" but the "hits".
rtp
-
Well, pretty much... Electric Funeral was in the set and that wasn't a hit..
Speaking of hits...

right you are, TOKER. My bad.

I bought the "Never Say Die" DVD but Ozzy's voice sucked and it was evident that that was going to be their last gig with Ozzy. Tony Iommi looked perturbed.
