Any more recordings from the 1971-1975 era available?

I feel this era was their creative high point and the most musically interesting. What made the biggest impression on me was not the crushing riffs of "Iron Man" but the velevet sledgehammer of songs like "Solitude", and "A National Acrobat". I love all the Ozzy era Black Sabbath but I have been playing the four albums from those years to death since I was a teenager and it's been wonderful to hear live recordings of some of those songs.

Thank you so much!

Couldn't agree more.  The contrast between the balls out kill of Symptom of the Universe with the stone groove they kick into at the end of it says it all for the way I think of Sabbath from this era.  Menace fueled by adrenaline mixed with comfy trips into the stratosphere.  I remember telling my folks back in the early 80s when I discovered them that I'd be listening to this music till I died.  Sounded like rebellious youth then, but I don't go for long these days without digging into the back side of SBS or bashing through Sabotage.

I bought a VHS of the Never Say Die tour in London in the late 80s and got so pumped about it till I got home, only to find out it didn't play on American VCRs.  It tore me up.  Hearing this old stuff live has been a long time coming.

 

And Ozzy still ruled through the Rhodes days.

For an update on downloads, please check out

"What Performers Are Paid" in the Ladies and Gentlemen forum.

I've listen to some other bootlegs of that period, like Tucson '72 and Sab's Furore (London 75).
They are good, especially the one from London. But obviously they don't fit to the quality standards of the Concert Vault. This could be the reason why they can't be found here.
