Black Sabbath

In November 1977, Black Sabbath gave a memorable performance of 'War Pigs' during their live set, which would later be associated with the album 'Never Say Die!' Released just weeks prior in September 1978, 'Never Say Die!' marked the band's final studio album featuring the iconic Ozzy Osbourne until he returned for a reunion years later. The album's title track and overall sound signified a shift from their signature heavy metal roots, as it incorporated more diverse styles, reflecting the band's evolving musical landscape. Interestingly, this live recording showcases Osbourne's powerful vocals and the band's dynamic stage presence, capturing a moment when they were navigating both internal challenges and changing musical tides. It’s a snapshot of a band still striving for greatness though facing pressures that would eventually lead to their temporary split.
