Description
Captured at the height of their volcanic creative powers, this collection of 1975 radio-broadcast performances showcases Black Sabbath at their most primal, unpredictable, and electrifying. Riding the momentum of their ground-breaking early-seventies run, the band deliver a set that blends thunderous heaviness with the raw, unfiltered spontaneity only a live stage could summon. This is Sabbath before the arena spectacles, before the myth solidified--four musicians locked into instinct, pushing their sound to its outer edges.
Tony Iommi's guitar work is nothing short of seismic, pouring out towering riffs, jagged leads, and molten improvisations that reshape each classic in real time. Geezer Butler's bass adds brooding depth and fire, rumbling beneath the surface like a tectonic force. Bill Ward's drumming--dynamic, jazzy, and explosive--propels every moment with a restless energy that reminds listeners how fiercely musical Sabbath's foundation always was.
At the centre stands Ozzy Osbourne, channelling something equal parts ritual and rebellion. His voice, urgent and unrefined, cuts through the swirling chaos with an unmistakable wail that defined an era. Whether inciting the crowd or haunting the quiet moments between songs, Ozzy's presence is electric, proving why he became the archetype for heavy-metal frontmen for generations to come.
Homespun brings you two shows; firstly, from the King Biscuit Flower Hour in 1975 from the Convention Hall in Asbury, New Jersey. Then, crossing America, over to the Santa Monica Civic Center, California to a show broadcast live on WPBC-FM.
2CD set.
