Black Sabbath: The Seventh Day: Live In London

Live In London 1970

With the passing of the late, great Ozzy Osbourne in 2025, not long after the farewell Black Sabbath hometown event in Birmingham, still leaving a seismic hole in the metal community, what better means of commemorating the legendary vocalist than experiencing this fly-on-the-wall earful of the metal pioneers at their early peak. Lifted from a BBC recording session at London’s Paris Theatre in 1970, the iconic line-up featuring guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward blast through bombastic versions of seminal cuts from both their self-titled debut album and equally iconic follow-up Paranoid. ‘Iron Man’, ‘War Pigs’, ‘Behind The Wall Of Sleep’, as well as the title-tracks from both LPs, it’s like a live mini-greatest hits, topped off with a lush cover of ‘Blue Suede Shoes’, where Ozzy lets out his inner Elvis.
