OK, so Ozzy died. Is this a shock? I can't imagine it is. He had Parkinson's for for the last decade or so, and this was brought on by all of his drug use. Hate to see him go though. What a powerhouse he was. I never got to see Black Sabbath or Ozzy live, unfortunately, but Black Sabbath was an early influence on me, starting around 17 when I got the Paranoid album. I wore that thing out.

I tell a story at the beginning of this show about driving around late a night listening to Black Sabbath and how it truly fucked with me. 

In celebration of the man, I have what I feel is Black Sabbath and their prime, live from Asbury Park, New Jersey, August 05, 1975. Live, there was no band coming anywhere near them. They were scary and raw. This show is a testament to the power and the glory that is the original lineup before Ozzy left to lead his successful solo career.

The Black Sabbath show runs 1 hour 40 minutes, so to fill the remainder of the time I'll throw you what may have been Sabbath's biggest rock competitor of the day: Led Zeppelin. Instead of giving you something from their legendary 1975 tour, let's go back to a great BBC broadcast from 1971. Led Zeppelin III had recently been released and the band wads looking to get the word out. I may have to play this entire show on my Bootleg Bonanza in the near future.

Support these bands. Buy their officially released music and merch, and never ever sell live bootlegs. These are for trade only.

So Ozzy died last week. Did anyone think he would live as long as he did? Not that I had a bet going, but I would have lost, had I. I turned onto Black Sabbath in my teens, back in the 80s, as would be appropriate. They were the darkest band I had ever heard up to that point, and probably still are since I don't listen to any Norwegian Death Metal.

I never saw Ozzy of Black Sabbath in concert. I can only imagine the energy of the crowd. I'm sure I had plenty of opportunities, but I didn't want to see his solo shows. Only Black Sabbath would do, and they didn't come around that often. There was that show in San Jose a few years back I could have tried to get to. What's up with that? I'm quick to buy tickets to a good show. I guess I'll just have to enjoy the bootlegs, of which I have many. 

Speaking of Ozzy and Black Sabbath, Tuesday night I'm playing what has to be my all time favorite Black Sabbath show on my Live Bootleg Bonanza on Radio Valencia, starting at 8pm Pacific. August 06, 1975 from Asbury Park, New Jersey is Sabbath firing on all cylinders. What an incredible show! Tune in.

For tonight's show I pay tribute to Ozzy in the second hour, though I do give you a tease of the awesomeness of the live show right out of the block. The second hour is a lot of great Black Sabbath covers you may have never heard.

For the first hour it's a lot of drunken garage rock. I was at the Rock and Roll Flea Market at Faction Brewing on Saturday and I bought a lot of 7"s as well as the Estrus Records book, which inspired the first hour. 

I'm certain the rock tributes will continue considering the number of rockers who are 75+ years of age, and did plenty of excessive partying in their day. Who is on your bingo card?

Enjoy and please share.
