Black Sabbath - Spiral Architect Live ! Germany 1998 Ozzy was sick this night but he sang his ass off and pulled it off !! Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinnie Appice.
Ozzy is a genius. When he was young, he walked around like a old decrepit almost dying man, now that he's old, he looks young, because he does exactly the same thing.
Kool Aid Jimmy ....OZZY DOESN'T GET OLD ......HE JUST MATURES....🤘🏻...us 70 yr olds are still 20 ...nothing shocks us ...because we LIVED IT!................and still do..🎶🤘🏻
@@Eleventhearlofmars Yea, I'm not sure why I wrote National Acrobat. Whatever. I stand by the meaning of my comment. Think I'll listen to SBS album today and refresh myself.
a hard song for the Ozz to recreate ages latter ,after comparing the original decades later & to try to hit the high notes when he was sick ..he loves to perform to us all & i heard an interview with Zakk ,that he (Ozzy)was frustrated not to be able to hit the highs of his youth (solo work) Zakk said ..that was so many yrs ago ..Ozzy loves to perform & we are all lucky to have him & the rest of the Sabbath crew still around .
Ozzy sounds fucking good singing this song dont know why people are hating. Hes clearly just sick it's not like he can help that. If he wasn't sick that day he would've pulled it off really well.
1998: Billy-Bob Clinty was president. Al Gore was Vice Prez Madeleine Albright was Secretary of State Tony Blair was PM of the UK 98 Winter Olympics were held in Nagano, Japan The movie "Titanic" was that years blockbuster. Bill Clinton was impeached (Monica Lewinski sex scandal). Denver Broncos defeated the G B Packers in Super Bowl XXXII (score: 31-24). Boy, how time flies, 'ey?
just wondering... who played keys/synth at 3:50 ? someone who's off-stage, or just a playback like what VH did when they play "Jump" live? and who sang harmony vocals at 2:24 ?
Song was difficult to sing bucause of the range rquired. Ozzy at 50-ish here struggled a bit. May explain why they haven't played it live since 75. "A. National acrobat" is another rare track recorded live. I think I've heard one bootleg version.
@@exe2517 Yea but Reunion sounded good af tho. 😂 Ozzy got busted using "the man in the tent" for backup vocals when a couple of cockneys, pissed out of their faces, stumbled into the tent, grabbed the mic and started yelling "Ozzy and Sabbath is tha fahkkin best!" 🤣 They left it on the album.
Love Ozzy but Fucking Hell...his voice is totally Fucked on this one.. But then again they did record this tune 40 years ago. Voices change, Balls drop... You know the Deal...
Ozzy's voice is terrible here. This must be one of the last tours in 98. I seen him in 98 and the 13 album tour and Ozzy was not horse like this. I'm a true Sabbath fan though and even hearing Ozzy struggle to vocally sing this it still is better than most fucking bands. It's Sabbath damn it! Lol
One of my fave BS songs. Such a mess indeed. That's how to vocally ruin a great song live. Gonna go back to their classic LP and hear it again....and again.
They should have never attempted this one...Ozzy 21 years ago couldnt sing this..one of my favourite Sabbath songs but Ozzy simply ruined it. Ozzy peaked in mid 70s when he had a strong voice. it is completely shot here.
steve m to be fair it’s a little rough at points. Let’s face it, time waits for no one. Ozzy just doesn’t have the range like he did when he was younger. Age catches up with everyone eventually. It’s still great hearing Ozzy perform this, even if he could hold all the high notes.
