Hey, I also saw them at the Chicago Ampitheater for the Mob Rules tour with Ronnie James Dio in '82
So what album would you say was their best?
But the core band at the good times... I love this cut from Don Kirschner's Rock Concert in 1975. It was a late night TV concert show every couple of weeks in the 70s. This one is Black Sabbath on their Sabotage tour.
For instance, there are kids who preoccupy a cameraman throughout the show wearing custom T-shirts that say how Black Sabbath and Ozzy are back and saving rock and roll, and they scream like Hannah Montana fans
See:
But one of the best parts is when they play "Snowblind". By 1973's Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, the band knew they were being ripped off by their manager and a lot of the music press wanted to move on from them after their first four albums. They were pissed: both angry and doped out of their minds. So the Sabotage tour was something of a comeback as their next album.
And then from perhaps my favorite Sabbath album, Vol. 4, is "Snowblind", documenting their times where they moved to California and did tons of cocaine and don't remember much. Mid-way through the song, talcum powder starts reigning down from the rafters on the band. It's so ridiculously over-the-top and funny they even get Tony Iommi to start laughing:
You also have to remember that while this was on late night television, it was still open airwaves TV from a big broadcaster. People were uptight about being perceived to promote drugs back then. And here Sabbath is celebrating a cocaine party on television.
