Last concert I saw at the Santa Monica Civic was Guns n Roses opening up for Ted Nugent. I wish I was a little older to see Black Sabbath (and Led Zeppelin) playing there, such a small venue, not a bad seat in the house…and pot smoke is everywhere, so cool that SM Civic served hard alcohol when it was still operating, Jack Daniels on the rocks in plastic little cups! And we went just across the street to the Bowling Alley's bar to get our buzz on before the concert started.
It's a shame that the SM Civic and the Bowling Alley across the street are all boarded up now, the liberal SM City Government isn't the same democrat ideology that we grew up with, the wokeness version is fucking everything up now.
As BCBlue said, I was there as well. I had also seen them at CalJam about a year before. I'm not proud of it, but I had lied to my parents about being at a friend's house for both events! As well as many other concerts in the Southern Cal area in those days. I would do it again! GREAT Rock & Roll era!
El flow que llevaban,siempre me han gustado estaban sonando de joven en cualquier sitio por donde andaba,aunque en casa no los escuchaba pero estaba esperando que llegase Internet para oírlos a tout et tranquile.Autenticos músicos y artistas,como muchos.Creando ambiente.
That's amazing stuff. Oftentimes I can't really hear Geezer Butler in the mix, but on video i get a chance to see he's just going nuts shredding that bass. who else plays bass like that? the daughters of those teen girls in the audience are probably Swifties today, not metalheads.
I remember seeing this when it aired. I was a teenager. When I saw who was playing in TV Guide, I couldn't believe it. This was like the first airing of Sabbath in America. How they looked on stage was still a mystery to most of us. My parents actually let me invite some of my musical friends over and gave us the family room to watch it and crank it up on our console TV as well as Pizza and sodas. And believe me, they knew this was a big thing for me because they HATED Sabbath, like most parents did at the time. Thank you so much for posting this. The memories it brings back are priceless.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sickest band of all fucking time .
17:45 what is this song??? Name, sorry my english, I donde speak it xD
THAT TONE FOR SNOWBLIND IS UNBELIEVABLE
That is a Heavy version of War Pigs ( Band sounds great ) but Ozzy sounds like shit
In the crowd you can see Wooderson going alright alright alright
Killer performance…but man, Tony Iommi is coked out of his mind.

The recording of the audience is a motherf*ck gee whiz lower it down
Ward is smashing that kit man what a performance. Ozzy sounds amazing. They sound almost identical to the records man
Sweet leaf black Sabbath rules🎉
Fantástic
This is Music
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Geezer Butler plays like a freaking madman here.. unbelievable speed precision and groove
I was told that absolutely no drugs were consumed by the band prior to this show, especially Tony Iommi
Geezer wrote their wonderful lyrics but dresses rather unexplainably.

The Best!!
The good ol' days when you really enjoyed a live show without a phone in your hand
Ozzy loves to 👏 👏 👏
Couldn't say cocaine back then 😂

Does anyone know how much of this is actually live? Some of it sounds like the album version exactly.
WOW!!!!!!
…the crowd: no smoke, no booze, nothing. Oh, wait. A-C-I-D.
See my dear kids how young people back then enjoyed rock concerts and life itself without fucking cell phones!!!
This is just plain awesome
🌈🤘🌈
This has to be the best concert footage of Sabbath and aside from the footage, what an awesome performance. Couldn't have picked a better year either.
Black Sabbath Band was Still Greatest Heaavy Rock Band for Me
Very Masculine Music…..the way it should be.
Geezer the anchor of the band along with wild man Bill Ward…
Heavy Guitar Work, they way it should be !
Looks like Ozzy is wearing Bill's tights from the cover of Sabotage.
Spellbinding
🔥🔥🔥
Iommi looks like he did all the booger sugar. Legend.
This is when they were smack dab in the middle of there massive coke binge!
Man, I would've loved to have been there! Not only for Sabbath, but Mahogany Rush as well!
They seem a bit rushed playing live but great performance
