Love Sabbath. Always have, always will.
One of the weirdest vids I've seen was a time when a room full of teenyboppers on Top of the Pops were dancing to Paranoid. Headbanging and devil-horn rock-on hand signs hadn't been invented yet. So dancing to it as though it were a Tom Jones song was the only way they knew how to react to it. Needless to say, Sabbath couldn't not have been further from what they'd been accustomed to up to that point.
They look SO out of place on stage in that setting. Ozzy was scared shitless about being on TV. And he thought the dancing kids were a bunch of idiots, because it wasn't music meant to be danced to.
Its nice to see Tony smiling and enjoying himself. Top of the Pops was a big milestone for any band, and I'm sure he was tickled all to hell that the band had made it to that level.

Another vid, I thought I'd seen it all. But this new early Sabbath footage came out of nowhere. And I was just like, wow, time travel.
I guess this performance had been kept in the can because at the very end of this video, apparently one of Tony's prosthetics popped off a finger, suddenly he could no longer play, leaving him to flub the final guitar solo. Amazing footage, regardless.

Rock on, Sabbath, rock on.
