Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan (Live Instrumental at soundcheck, 1999) 

I don't understand why they never played this beautiful song live :c Edit: Well, I just saw Pantera in Hell&Heaven sing their cover of this song live, I guess I have to settle :(

It's one of the few songs that actually makes me feel stoned WITHOUT weed.

3:12 melts my face off every time. This soundcheck jam is better than 99.9% of songs ever recorded.

Would love to see this live. I don't understand why they never play it live

Even when he die, he will be remember as a true legend. we don't see this type of skill these days..

Best black sabbath song ever.

They should play this live along with Solitude!

Hands down the best, mellow,spacey,stoner,chill jam ever written and by the heaviest band in history. Now that's irony!

pop a beer, or take a shot, mellow out. close your eyes, and just flow. thank you for putting this on here for folks to enjoy.

im fukin cryin. Tony is my mentor... the Jazz influence brought a whole new character to rock.... Iommi plays so dark n moody... fukin love it..

Finally a live version of this track!!! Even if it is just a soundcheck, This is something I thought I would never hear in my lifetime, definately 1 of my top 5 favorite Sabbath tracks!!!!

I grew up listening to Sabbath starting in 1972. I always felt this was one of their best songs but it NEVER got played on the radio, or in concert, and was never talked about by anyone. I think people were afraid to say they liked it. I loved it and talked about it though!

planet caravan, junior's eyes and solitude are all proof that Sabs original line-up were very well cut for writing ballads. interesting to think i was nearly 2 years old when this one was recorded...

Pantera is cool, but yeah, the mood Sabbath and Iommi brought to this song was just other worldly and beautiful.

wow! idk how you got this but you have shared the most amazing jam ever of black sabbath!!!!! i love planet caravan and solitude but this is WOW!!!! too bad i was not born during that time but im glad im alive now to hear this over and over and over..... and over........ till i die.

Damn! They should print THIS on vinyl.

1:20 onwards... Just incredible

For the new Black Sabbath album, they should do a new version of the song that sounds like this. That would have been AMAZING!

i captured every piece of this in my fuckedi up mind.... im blown away and a living being of tears

This song is the soundtrack to my first real marijuana high. I will never forget how trippy it sounded! Still takes me back every time I hear it.

Awesome, I don't understand as well why they never played this song alive, however, when you can write something like this, its because you're in other dimension, we won't survive them, but they are a legend alive

Bill Ward sang on 'Swinging the Chain' because Ozzy wouldn't. Not Solitude. And I care; I kind of don't like people saying stuff that's factually wrong on my channel. There's already enough people with bad information...exhibit you.

We sail Through endless skies Stars shine like eyes The black night sighs The moon In silver trees Falls down in peace Light of the night The earth A purple blaze Of sapphire haze In orbit always While down Below the trees Bathed in a cool breeze Silver starlight breaks down the night And so We pass on by The crimson eye Of great God Mars As we travel The universe

Yes! Bones of Baby Dolls! I'm so glad you said that, haha. Acid Bath rules. It's all about Planet Caravan, B.OB.D., Space Cadet (Kyuss), Jail (Down), and Rotten Apple (Alice in Chains)

Yesterday I checked out Tony Iommi's autobiography at the library of the college I'm attending and I ran into several friends after I left the library and they all asked if I had the Bible in my hands and I said to all of them "Actually, it is. This is Tony Iommi's autobiography and he is God, so...yes...this is the Bible."

Well, this is pretty much the best video on the internet

Fukin cryin...tony reached me at 1st album..

just magnificent

Thanks for posting this! You never hear this gem live very often.

im sorry ... this unbelievably fantastic... my God

heavenly

What happened to good music like this.

incredible. Why no more live versions. just incredible

I'm chilled ! Excellent :) must go listen to original version now.

If one could say "Floyd-Ish"...To Practice That Everyday...

blacksabfan is right it IS ozzy on both those songs. No use arguing cause it is.

Very Cool to hear!!!

love this song

This is awesome.

That sound of the guitar though!

absolutely unfuckin believable . im cryin. bill ward all day too

This Is Fantastic..Thanks Man !!!

thank you.

Great ! Thanks again.

I think the drums almost detract from the stoner laid back-ness of the song. Make it sound more like an 80's ballad with bad synth electric drums. Still fucking ace though! :)

Lovely

Dio could never pull off this incredible song with his voice. He'd make it so cheesy. But to be fair, Ozzy wouldn't be able to anymore either.

I was at this show. Pantera was the opener.

Books are great...I wish people still read them...I say that it doesn't matter who sings the song...what matters is who wrote it.

HOW IN THE HECK did you get a sound check recording?!? You are one very very lucky person!!!

iommi is my hero

I prefer Black Sabbath's version. For me, Pantera killed the mood of the song.

Love it

i meant to say Bill ward. i always thought it was Ozzy who did. i was reading this article that said he refused to sing it. im not sayign im right but thats what i told. but ho cares who did or not. its a great song and thats a FACT!

I would love to hear changes live

Beatifull

All Black Sabbath plays is just fantastic, rare versions or not

WHEN I learn this solo I'll play it all day long till my finger tips bleed

@MurdFlum Dude for real. I felt high listening to it, almost as if the THC could be felt in the very air I was breathing.

@MurdFlum then try to imagine how this sounds WITH weed first time i got stoned i played this song and its an experience on its own. its awesome. its black sabbath

thanks

THAT WOULD RULE

@oneleafd92 im sure its ozzy for planet caravan and geezer for solitude. but im almost 100% sure ozzy did not sing in solitude

Um...Ozzy. I know it doesn't sound like it is, but it is. Turst me.

Smoked weed a couple times when i was 13 and didnt feel shit. Then one day we toked and it hit me like a Mack truck!!!

Damn straight.

TONY maestro

its just great.. thanx a lot for the post i was sure that they never perform this live.. Next song solitude right?

@NuclearGuru350 If you think about it... imagine Dio's soft voice on Catch the Rainbow. I think he could do it.

Ah! I have been looking for a LIVE Version of Planet Caravan by Black Sabbath, but it seems like there is no other, perhaps ANYONE could help me with the search? I would have loved to see a Re-union of Black Sabbath come to Sweden! I saw Ozzy in Globen@Stockholm just a month ago, he did Paranoid, Iron Man, Fairies Wear Boots and Into The Void from he's old past, and he did it so good, and I was SO DRUNK, that if I were to die after the concert, I would've gladly done it after Ozzy! It's so GOOD!

@superfirren The black night sighs.

I love that someone at 3:21 said "Great Song"

heute habe ich endlich meinen Frieden wieder ich liebe die Freiheit und ich liebe die innere Ruhe!!!

It's fucking amazing

ok ok the only reason why panteras version is popular is because PANTERA did it *DUH* and more kids listen to pantera than BS (unfortunately) but i dont like panteras version and ozzy didnt either because he rejected it from being put on the black sabbath tribute album. and honestly, the song is SO fucking good in the first place i dont see how someone could possibly do a bad cover of it anyway!

That’s some pretty good shit

I'm almost 100% sure you're wrong. It's been well documented that Ozzy sang on both. Books are great.

Nice..................................

It sure as hell is Ozzy. Stop arguing. And quit calling me 'dude'.

Don't say such things, he's not dead yet. (;

MARIJUANA IS AWESOME!!!!!!

Wouldn’t this been a great song to end a set with and then wait for the encore and come back out with Iron Man?

i was there and heard this i would of shit my pants :D!

No it's not....dude. Geezer never sang anything until he did back up vocals in "A Hard Road". He himself admitted as much.

wasnt a bad cover, at all. its just a matter of opinion. i personally like phil's voice on the record better than ozzy's, but that doesnt make either version worse than the other

oh my good this is so ood

Yeah it is ozzy. He can just sing that good when he wants to. I love all of his vocals but people always tend to bitch saying he cant sing. To me his was the best sabbath had as a singer Tony martin was wack and Dio was good but I was never a big fan. 70s sabbath is where its at.

@BlackPhoenix623 yep. think of an angry alcoholic in that respect. yet the reverse is true for alcohol, mellows me like a sack full of ludes.

@plypayj3 You're confusing anger with my zero tolerance policy on idiocy. And even if I was angry, what business is it of yours? You'll gladly lap up the stuff I post, and demand more, more, more, but then turn around and tell me how I should be acting. I uploaded this, and I run my channel how I see fit. If you don't like it, then you can go fuck off. And just because I told you to fuck off, doesn't mean I'm angry...another concept people don't seem to understand.

Did they end up playing this song in the actual Feb. 5 show?

It's fuck amazing...

Lots of songs never played live, always the same list.

No. This was not part of the set list for the show.

sweet.......leaf,

Sounds strange without the darkness of TV singing.

@jovisst1 they should do this one live

@LadyLuzaibach Silver-starlight.

It sounds to me like it is ozzy saying "they come".

@Skaternick911 Stars shine like eyes.

@deboshadow No, just get at that "Sweet Leaf".
