California Jam, Ontario Motor Speedway, Ontario, CA, 4-6-1974, Part 6: Black Sabbath

Here's the next set from the 1974 California Jam. This time, it's the hard rockers Black Sabbath, with lead singer Ozzy Osbourne.

Unlike most of the previous sets from earlier in the day, this recording does not come from the TV and/or radio broadcast. Instead, it's a reel to reel recording that sounds excellent.

I must admit I'm not really a Black Sabbath fan. However, if you are, this was a good time for a live recording. The band released the album "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" in late 1973, and it's considered one of their best. Band member Bill Ward would later say of this time period, "The band were definitely in their heyday, in the sense that nobody had burnt out quite yet."

Due to this coming from a different source, it appears to be the full set, and not just the parts that made it to broadcast.

This album is an hour and 12 minutes long.
