This is my favorite version of this classic song; the tempo drop at 4:09 from the faster break to the second(?) main riff (bridge?) makes my frisson go ping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS2cCyx7nM0&t=244s

Youtube is just worthless now in un-adblocked-situations. I found this instance worked though: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=qS2cCyx7nM0

Ozzy’s young and loves the metal, Iommi’s PAFs and Stacks are spot on (couldn't get much bass but that’s probably my setup) but maaaan - give me about 1/5 of whatever Bill Ward’s on, man. That guy’s freaking working. Hitting so damn hard, that ride as big as a Buick and the delicate little hardware stands holding on for dear life!

Great video.

Ward sounds great--maybe steals the show--but they all sound great. Here's War Pigs, same concert: Ward is beating the living hell out of the drums. Sounds amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3b6SGoN6dA

RIP John Osbourne.
