Quoted from sunnRAT:Ozzy could really sing in those days. It's a shame his voice just couldn't keep up by the mid 70s. Never again could they play songs from albums 4, 5 and 6.
I'm sure with Stern and the rest of the world coming to realize how awful their manager is, it probably wont happen now. Or atleast for awhile.
Funny you say that - I am literally at this moment listening to this bootleg from 75 - he sounds AMAZING! it's from the Sabotage tour - Symptom of the Universe is BAM! Knock you out. And they do a version of Megalomania which is really a step up from the album. Not 5 minutes before I read your comment was I saying to my wife how great Ozzy is singing. And not "singing great.. for Ozzy", but really just hitting the notes great. Coked out of his mind (he mentions it specifically a number of times). He's way over his range as usual, but with a couple real high notes he's a little flat on, this is a phenomenal show. I bet they couldn't even hear themselves up there. -SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE- sounds really good. Trying singing that song some time. Your head will explode.
Probably Bill's best tour IMO
EDIT: meant to post the link:
check out Megalomania, it sounds like something that could have been off 13
