Montreux. August 31st 1970 (audio bootleg)
Paranoid, NIB, Behind the Wall of Sleep, Iron Man, War Pigs, Fairies Wear Boots, Hand of Doom/Rat Salad
This came out before the “Paranoid” album, they played six of the eight tracks from that release but the lyrics to “Iron Man” and “War Pigs” are early drafts (“Iron Man, I love you” and “See them eating dead rats innards” are respective samples). Ditto for “Hand of Doom”, the encore. The band recorded the “Paranoid” album one month later on September 18th, released it January 7th 1971. Great quality recording!
San Francisco, Fillmore West, November 27th 1970 (audio bootleg)
NIB, War Pigs, Black Sabbath, Iron Man, Behind the Wall of Sleep, Hand of Doom, Rat Salad, Fairies Wear Boots, Wicked World, Paranoid
By now Paranoid has been recorded, but not released. However, the lyrics are the ones we know from the album, which is nice. The acoustic intro to Black Sabbath is very similar to the one heard on the Past Lives CD. The Wicked World solo is pretty funky and original, especially around the 54 minute mark (crazy!). Ozzy says that the new album will be released in February, but it really came out in January.
Live in Berlin 1970 (audio bootleg)
Paranoid, Iron man, Black sabbath, War pigs, Hand of doom/Rat salad, NIB
Ozzy introduces “Paranoid” as a new song from their second album, and a single. He doesn’t remember the lyrics very well, ditto for Iron Man. The lyrics on “Black Sabbath” are also from the extended four-verse version, and the “War Pigs” lyrics are the “eating dead rats’ innards” lyrics.
L’Olympia, Paris France , December 20,1970 (full video)
Toronto 1971 (audio bootleg)
NIB, War Pigs, Sweet Leaf, Black Sabbath, Iron Man, Children of the Grave, Wicked World, Paranoid, Fairies Wear Boots
Starts off with some very cool solo-ing before going into NIB (ie they skipped Bassically). Some corruption of source file during “Children of the Grave”. Other parts deleted, not a great recording basically…
New Jersey, 1971 (audio bootleg)
NIB, Black Sabbath, War Pigs, Iron Man, Into the Void, Fairies Wear Boots, Paranoid
Wanking for three minutes at the beginning, then a furious solo burst, and “NIB” (no “Bassically”).
Dallas, Texas March 26th 1971 (audio bootleg)
NIB, War Pigs, Black Sabbath, Iron Man, Wicked World, Tony Iommi Guitar Solo, Wicked World (Continued), Paranoid, Fairies Wear Boots
Groovy announcer: “You people are beautiful, thank you, man. You people, woooow. I’ve been in Wichita, man, since the first of October and made every concert, but tonight – whew, out of sight, man. Hey, Black Sabbath, man doesn’t like to be introduced, they’re the kind of people that just kind of storm onstage and start, they don’t want anybody eyeballing them. We have three emergency announcements - John Fitzgerald, Willie Jones and Angus Boyd had instructions. Far out. Ozzy asks the audience to keep it quiet at the beginning of ‘Black Sabbath’ as there’s a very quiet guitar solo. Solo for ‘Wicked World’ is kind of like folksy Jimmy Page stuff. For the encore, ‘Fairies Wear Boots’, Ozzy says ‘Okay, we’ll do another one for you because you’re so beautiful.”
Chicago, 1971 (audio bootleg)
Sweet Leaf, War Pigs, Iron Man, Fairies Wear Boots, Tomorrow’s Dream
Great version of “Sweet Leaf”!!
Copenhagen April 18th, 1971 (audio bootleg)
War Pigs, Iron Man, Into The Void
Very loud “War Pigs”. Great sound quality, especially on “Into The Void”, which sounds like its full might.
Academy Of Music, New York October 22nd 1971 (audio bootleg)
NIB, War Pigs, Sweet Leaf, Iron Man, Children Of The Grave, Wicked World, Guitar Solo/ Orchid, Jam 1/ Guitar Solo, Jam 2, Wicked World- reprise
Furious solo burst, and “NIB” (no “Bassically”), lots of crowd lead-up to “Iron Man”, which is very slow and grungy but speeds up tremendously by the end.
Newcastle 1972 (audio bootleg)
Tomorrow’s Dream, Snowblind, War Pigs, Black Sabbath, Iron Man, Children of the Grave, Paranoid
Long pause with no music near the end of the first half of this sample, and in some later parts as well.
Arizona, 1972 (audio bootleg)
NIB, Tomorrows dreams, War pigs, Sweet leaf, Iron man, Snowblind, Wicked world, Orchid/Guitar solo, Band jam, Drum solo, Band jam, Wicked world reprise, Children of the grave, Paranoid, Band jam, Fairies Wear Boots
Audience clapping and cheering like crazy during “Iron Man”, which speeds up and slows down all the time. Some of the lyrics in “Snowblind” different than what’s on the album. “I am so blind, but I can see, the way you guard beyond your fever, you can and you no longer care, but it’s not nearly complete.” Huh? Pretty jazzy solo happening in “Wicked World”. At the end of one blazing, shredding solo, you hear someone exclaim “Jesus!” Does a bit of call and response with the audience. Cool drum solo bit before a new song, called “Fairies Wear Boots”.
Dayton 1972 (audio bootleg)
Tomorrows dreams, Sweet Leaf, Snowblind, War Pigs, Under the Sun, Iron Man, Wicked World, Wheels of Confusion, Paranoid, Children of the Grave
Bad sound quality in “Sweet Leaf” and “Iron Man”, but there’s a great solo in the middle of “Wicked World”, Tony’s shredding!
