@pgjackson Black Sabbath. Yet another band I saw during the summer of '71 at Chicago's Auditorium Theater. Amazing venue, great acoustics, with red velvet seats. Couldn't believe they'd hold a hard rock concert in that place. And let people like us into that place. A total smoke fest.
If I recall it correctly, there were some folks that didn't appreciate Black Sabbath. Didn't sit well with some of the fans of the British Invasion period. Groups like LZ, Blind Faith/Cream, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and others. Clapton,Beck, Page were deemed more advanced musicians.
And disrespected in the movie 200 motels that featured Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
But that was then. Now, they have the respect as one of the most influential bands in rock history.
And I love the solo work by Osbourne, especially No More Tears and the live performance of Mr. Crowly from '81 you can catch on YouTube.
That must have been incredible seeing a young Black Sabbath. I saw Ozzy in 86 on his Ultimate Sin tour. The guy is phenomenal. BS was so different at the time that a lot of people just didn't understand what was happening. They were truly pioneering new music. They were never considered elite musicians individually, but the music they created literally influenced everything that came after. They are probably the most influential group in rock history.
I didn’t like them at the time, but The Replacements and Hüsker Dü are two of my favorites.
The Razorbacks enter the stadium to the start of War Pigs
Ah yes, Minnesota punks.
Just saw Maidein in Greensboro in October. Amazing still!
