Black Sabbath / Various Pro-Shot Footage 1970’s Jewel Version

The fate of heavy music began to move with the debut of BLACK SABBATH in 1970. A masterpiece compilation showcasing all the pro shots from that time has been decided. This work contains approximately 92 minutes of pro shots. It compiles a total of eight videos, mainly two types: “May 25, 1970 Bremen” and “October 3, 1970 Brussels.” Let’s explore the positions of the two main types from an overview of their activities at the time. January 9th: Single “Evil Woman” Release; January 13th – February 13th: UK (6 shows); February 13th: “Black Sabbath” Release; March 4th – June 15th: Europe #1 (69 shows) ←★Bremen★; June 16th – 21st: “Paranoid” Production; June 21st – October 26th: Europe #2 (46 shows) ←★Brussels★; October 30th – November 28th: ​​North America (31 shows); December 5th – 19th: Europe #3 (6 shows); May 25th: Bremen (BEAT-CLUB) First up is a classic video from shortly after their debut. These are four songs that aired on the West German renowned TV show “BEAT-CLUB.” In fact, each track was filmed separately; “Black Sabbath” and “Blue Suede Shoes” were recorded on May 25th, while the filming dates for “Iron Man” and “Paranoid” are unknown. While it was once said to be “September 26th,” it has been determined that this was the broadcast date. Perhaps due to copyright issues, this footage has been re-released countless times. Semi-official releases such as “The Best of Musicladen Live” and the CDV “Black Mass” have been beloved. This release, however, is considered the pinnacle of quality, a fully-released, fully-official version. It was created from the bonus DVD included with the Rhino label’s “Black Box.” While this box set is renowned for its superb remastering, it’s now difficult to obtain 14 years after its release. This release re-releases this exquisite visual beauty. And the live performance, captured with such high quality, is truly exceptional. This recording is not a concert, but a live performance from a television appearance, and the photo booth-like frames and image processing used to display the band’s performance perfectly capture the era. Particularly valuable is “Blue Suede Shoes.” Of course, it’s an Elvis cover, but an incredibly rare song, performed only once before or since. In fact, the TV station at the time demanded a cover, saying they were troubled by the heavy and incomprehensible original songs. It was performed almost immediately after the show. It’s amazing how well it worked out, but this is also typical of them right after their debut. In fact, their first album, “Black Sabbath,” was also produced almost entirely as a live studio performance, with cover songs “Warning” and “Evil Woman” performed on stage. It’s their debut and this work that officially preserved their cover-savvy side. Following the October 3rd Brussels performance (ROCK OF THE 70S) is a pro shot of the Brussels performance, a super classic of the original SABBATH. It was once a classic pro shot that became famous as the “1970 Paris performance,” but it has now been revealed that it was “actually a Brussels performance, not a Paris performance.” The apex master of this super-famous video has two different broadcast versions: one is the commonly known “ROCK OF THE 70S” broadcast version, and the other is the “POP SHOP” version, which was recently unearthed. In fact, the “POP SHOP” broadcast version has better image quality and length, but some angles have a reddish tint. The “ROCK OF THE 70S” broadcast version has a natural color throughout. This work uses the best master of the former “ROCK OF THE 70S” broadcast version (you can enjoy the latter in this masterpiece, “BRUSSELS 1970: THE ORIGINAL “POP SHOP” MASTER”). This master was also used in “THE ULTIMATE OZZY OSBOURNE YEARS” and is more beautiful than the official BLACK SABBATH account version on YouTube. It is truly an official master. The super-classic pro shots depicted with this beautiful image are truly supreme. All songs except “Planet Caravan” and “Electric Funeral” from the smash hit “Paranoid” were performed, and this early concentrated set was sprinkled with “Black Sabbath,” “N.I.B.”, and “Behind the Wall of Sleep.” Moreover, the band’s potential, which had been churning out a string of great albums, was fully unleashed. Needless to say, this is one of the most important images not only for BLACK SABBATH but for British rock as a whole. This is the highest peak version. Six more treasured pro shots: In fact, 1970 was a rare and prolific period in SABBATH history. While the above two are well-known, many other detailed pro shots have been unearthed. This work covers all the currently known professional footage. Let’s take a closer look. DOEBIDOE TV (1 song): First up is the Dutch TV show “DOEBIDOE,” which appeared on May 22, 1970, three days before “BEAT-CLUB.” Although it’s a monochrome mime, “N.I.B.” is performed in a studio performance similar to “BEAT-CLUB.” ROCK CIRCUS (2 songs + α): The pro shots that follow are treasures! The West German program “ROCK CIRCUS” aired on June 21, 1970. This is a multi-camera pro shot, one month after “BEAT CLUB.” It’s not a complete performance, but the quality is simply incredible. The building’s spine is clearly visible, beautiful, and completely free of any blurring. Even the Brussels 70s poses no problems with the video, which appears to have been digitized directly from the master. Even with the phrases “for the time” and “for analog filming,” this is a completely official, superb pro shot, even by today’s digital standards. The sound is as impressive as the video. This direct feeling is so ultra-clear that it’s no surprise it was recorded in a studio. “War Pigs” is an early version of the temporary lyrics, originally called “Walpurgis.” Moreover, the 1970 era feels immense. If the huge caption is vintage, then so is “Iron Man,” who, for some reason, steps up to the ring and performs. This is another masterpiece, astounding in both image quality and sound quality, featuring versions with different lyrics. The enthusiastic audience and the relaxed outdoor interviews exude a belated hippie vibe. Where exactly did all this footage end up? If more footage were discovered, it would undoubtedly become one of the largest and most powerful in BLACK SABBATH history. This incredible pro shot is a must-see. The third, BILZEN FESTIVAL (1 song), is yet another incredibly rare black-and-white video. It’s an indoor studio live performance known as “BILZEN BLUES AND JAZZ FESTIVAL” on August 21, 1970. It was a TV program broadcast when “Paranoid” was completed but not yet released, and featured a nearly complete performance of the single “Paranoid,” released prior to the album. While the sound isn’t as good as “ROCK CIRCUS,” the image quality is also superb. It’s a strange pro shot, with the live performance indoors and the audience outdoors. MONTREUX FESTIVAL (1 song) followed 10 days later. This is black-and-white news footage of the “August 31, 1970 Montreux Performance,” famous for its soundboard. While “N.I.B.” only makes a brief appearance among various bands, it’s hard to believe that a camera was also present that day. This is extremely valuable footage that gives us a glimpse into the “other side” of the famous soundboard. TOP OF THE POPS Appearance (1 song) Another superb, official-grade pro shot! This was an appearance on the famous British program “TOP OF THE POPS,” which appeared on September 24, 1970 (9 days after the Brussels performance), about a week after the release of “Paranoid.” Although it’s only one song, “Paranoid,” its visual beauty surpasses even “BEAT-CLUB.” This is a classic pro shot of the studio audience dancing wildly with a sense of era, but because it was unearthed after the release of “The Ultimate Ozzy Osbourne Years,” it’s impossible to see even that masterpiece. It’s one of the most beautiful pro shots in this work. The final one is a black-and-white pro shot from “September 29, 1970,” five days after their appearance on the Dutch TV show “Top Pop.” While it’s only one song, “Paranoid,” this is a literal, official-quality recording from the official history DVD “The Black Sabbath Story Vol. 1.” It was released 11 days after the release of “Paranoid,” and you can enjoy the four young members who dominated the world. This is a collection of eight superb multi-camera pro shots spanning approximately 92 minutes. This is a compilation of professional footage from 1970, when Black Sabbath was a revolutionary band. This is where it all began. This is a record that allows you to witness the historic scene where heavy music swelled and began to move. A super-definitive edition that comprehensively covers the professional shots at the time of debut has been released. Eight professional shots from 1970, about 92 minutes, are compiled into one best master. “Beat-Club” Bremen, Germany 25th May 1970 “Rock Of The Seventies” Theater 140, Brussels, Belgium 3rd October 1970 and various Pro-shot footage (91:56) BEAT-CLUB 1970 Bremen, Germany 25th May 1970 1.
