Reaction to Black Sabbath 'The Wizard' Live 2005

One of our favorite songs so far has been Black Sabbath's "The Wizard". The viewers gave us the live version from 2005 when we asked, and this is our reaction to that song performed live.

This is a reaction video for the purposes of comment, criticism, and education about the song and artist. We believe these videos provide additional free exposure to new audiences for the artist and will drive additional views to the original video.

Sabbath were from Birmingham, a city that guitarist Tony Iommi described as the kind of place where you ended up either working in a factory, or joining a gang. Fortunately, music provided an opportunity for them.

Another great reaction, folks!

Great reaction! Next you can react to COME ON by Oktaf Kanis, thanks 🔥🔥🔥

I'm with you coach... The Wizard is something special.. one of the best songs ever..

[briandeadmarsh]

Glad to hear that someone else likes this song as much as I do. Black Sabbath is my number 1 group, and The Wizard is a top 5 favorite song of mine.

You need to listen to the 1994 version but it's very rare to find that CD not many of them out there

It's amazing how Black Sabbath always seems to talk about love, happiness and survival. Their songs are always talking from a different prospective. They speak of awareness from the inside out. They speak of the dark side, not to invite you in, but to fear it, and the consequences thereof. Take for instance the song Hand of Doom ...The song was conceived after the band had observed a growing number of US soldiers arriving in England from the Vietnam War in the late 1960s with severe drug addictions. The song paints an unflattering picture of hard drug use for the purpose of self-medication. The song shows how it (heroin) takes its toll through different stages and the consequences of his addiction if he doesn't change. Check it out.

Just Subscribed. Love you reacting to Ozzie Sabbath .

I understand the numbers. This is their reunion tour concert. Btw, as I’ve been scrolling through your catalog, it appears that live performances and love of musicianship are more your forte. So along those lines may I humbly suggest checking out a band called Nightwish and request you react to their 2013 Waken festival performance of their song “Ghost Love Score” I promise you will not be disappointed 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻

[mattsabath]

My favorite band. I’m glad you guys love them as much as I do.
Some suggestions for live performances
Children Of The Grave from Reunion
Iron Maiden- Fear Of The Dark
Megadeth- She Wolf from Rude Awakening.

[kardeef]

This has been a favorite since the 70's. This version is great!

[spazimdam]

What a concert that must have been to see! I've been digging Sabbath since '72. Just subscribed to you guys. Love it!

[Pton_reaction_addict]

Definitely an amazing beat. Hats off to Tony and Geezer for their contribution to this song.

New to the channel Coach - Love Sabbath. Glad to see you listening to them.

Black Sabbath bring couples togetherness!❤😃

Well, that was surprising. I've never been a big fan of Black Sabbath, but I liked that! Like you, I would never have associated a harmonica with any kind of rock, let alone Ozzie!
I couldn't make out all the lyrics, but thankfully the echoes of high school French helped me work out from the subtitles what I didn't catch.

I know you love live performances for the energy of the performance, as I usually do, but there are some songs that lose a lot of their power when adapted for the live stage. I have been thinking. You loved the Montreal performance of Queen's 'Somebody to Love', as did we all, but I think it would be a good idea for you to also react to the 'official' studio video. Apparently, Freddie wasn't keen on performing this song live, as it lost so much of his original 'vision' in the process... I would be fascinated to discover which you prefer.... 🤔

Deep purple child in time live in Tokyo have to be next 😮😮😮

[megamaniac]

Bill Ward is one of the most underrated drummers ever. And Ozzy was the perfect fit for for Sabbath with his bluesy and unique voice. And he sure does a great harmonica workout. That said. They have tons of good stuff. Their first six records doesn't have a bad track. Some recommendations from me though are "A National Acrobat", "Supernaut" and "Into the Void".

[paulsmith]

Got to see Sabbath when Van Halen opened for them in Virginia. Good reaction. You need to check out Band-Maid Play live and The Warning Evolve at the VMA you will not be disappointed

[bollyjeff]

I imagine you would enjoy the whole debut album. Not the most popular but it’s very good and essentially the birth of metal music.

Now I think you're ready for fairy's wear boots live in Paris 1970. Check it out
