I bought this album when it was released, (1973) I took it to my girlfriends house to play it for the first time. after this song finished, I asked her to marry me. we celebrate our 44 th anniversary in september.
I'm old enough and lucky enough to have seen Sabbath several times when they were at their peak from 1970-1975 here in the UK. They were absolutely superb live. Once seen never forgotten.
@@abracadabra3033 Your hooked man😊 If you get a chance and are so inclined dive into tracks from any of their 4 albums prior to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath namely Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master Of Reality and Vol IV. All killer albums.
Yes Phil, agree! Also saw them at BST Hyde Park which was truly amazing (plus Motörhead Ace of Spades) Amazing and was lovely to see whole families there, nice to know they’re passing it down the generations. Some tracks were missing, apparently because Ozzy had problems with the high notes but it was still brilliant
This album is generally recognised as one of their very best. Sabbra Cadabra is one of those rare moments when they dropped the doom and gloom and went happy.
It's fucking rad to see Sabbath getting so much respect from reaction channels lately. Definitely my new favorite channel. If you are ready for a challenge check out Megalomania or The Writ by Sabbath. Will show a new perspective.
Yes so different from the 70s when they’d be brushed off probably since album rock stations never played more than paranoid and iron man if you were even lucky enough to catch these now and then. They’re were heavily slagged and many now have no idea what is sabbath fans dealt with lol! Fan since 1976 at 15!
Black Sabbath at their peak here. People now think of Ozzy as a bumbling but basically nice old guy but his voice on this track is unbelievable. He was amazing in his prime. Just a brilliant song and a brilliant album.
Damn, this shit does ride!! Can't ever go wrong with Sabbath, especially on a Monday morning.Thankyou for starting off my day, watching you. Put a smile on my face!🤗
@@abracadabra3033 Funny story about Rick's involvement. He was in the next studio, bored with the YES album he was recording, so he wandered over and improvised the keyboards to this song. But he was under contract with YES, as well as a solo artist, so he got no credit, nor money. He did it for a case of Heineken.
@@psbarrow I heard Rick say they met a the pub near the studio Tony was having trouble getting the keyboards right so Rick being bored with Topographic oceans helped the guys out with no credit
this is my style of miuzz ,goes well with mother nature in your back groud ,and she sends her own chants at the end of your vid ,love the birds ,they are mini angels ,rock on dude
This album saw Sabbath at the peak of their game for my money! The production is the best they ever captured, and there's not a wasted note to be found. I love how this album sounded so heavy, and yet so smooth at the same time. In 'Natural Acrobat', it also contains my favourite Sabbath moment ever. A classic!
Keyboards (synthesizer and piano) on this song were played by Rick Wakeman of "Yes". Sabbath would use keyboards sparingly on earlier Ozzy albums, but here they stepped up their use and later on would hire Jezz Woodroffe to tour with them during the mid 70s. On the rest of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, piano and harpsichord was played by Tony Iommi on select tracks, and Ozzy played the Minimoog and wrote the music for the song "Who Are You".
Thank you for your reaction to one of my favs from the Sab4. Man alive, this is the infancy of prog metal at its best. Ozzy is a bluesy maniac. The back and forth between Bill and Tony is beautiful thing to behold as both show their mastery of their respective crafts. Oh and Geezer lays down some of the stickiest bass lines throughout as the others noodled and fed the crowd as well as writing the very personal lyrics. I love this band, they are my favorite and i make no secret of it. They are one of those bands that if given a chance will give each listener a unique experience. Enjoy your journey as you discover the deep body of work these guys had in 10 years as well as the later line ups including with the greatest pure metal voice of Ronnie James Dio. Have fun, you have a new sub here.
I fucking love sabbath, I go through a fase of listening to them religiously ever once and a while and it alwsys gives me the same spine tingling feeling as the first time inlistened to them
My grandfather when he came to the states he bought this record and he sent it back home for my grandma to listen and she loves that song and now I know why
Your new theme song eh? Sabbra Cadabra!! It was meant to be man. Too much. Great song, really rocks. I love the keyboards in the middle section, cool synthesizer sound and piano too; shows evolved arranging skills. And Ozzy's vocal just flies and cooks there. Yeah you should acquire Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. It's a great album. Great reaction!
COOL!!! You did it!! I had a feeling you would like it. I think it would be fair to say that by the time you get to the bottom of this Sabbath journey you will have bought several more albums....There is quite the journey ahead of you!
Good Afternoon ABRA! I just turned 70 the other day. I love the way you really reacted to the songs I grew up with.You are a Grooving kind of spirit to me! Thanks for sharing your new found love. Be blessed with good health so you can rock on! GODSPEED!
God I love this album! I said (in a comment to one of your earlier reactions) this is the album to put on when you've had a bad day, it's totally uplifting, makes all the bad stuff go away and puts everything right!
@@abracadabra3033 i hope im not disrespecting you by calling you Big A,those are not my intentions.but i must say.i love your taste in music,and the variety of music your reacting to.it's your personal opinion on the music your reacting to .keep up the hard work.
Been Saying that All Along!! I Totally Agree!! Told him on a few occasions to check out the 2 tunes you just mentioned!! Right up my Alley with those 2!! Let's Get Him To React!!
Ive been listening to BLACK SABBATH since high school (51 yo. now), thank you for sharing your experience. it makes me think more. every time i go back to different songs i feel my life has changed again. BLACK SABBATH has a way of grabbing you at your core/soul. Most of the songs are warnings or very spiritual. They are a very religious group. Im not, but I think they help me with that. God Bless Black Sabbath.
That was tough. Sabbath bloody Sabbath album is masterpiece, like every other first to fifth albums. Check Master of Reality album when you have time. It's killer.
It's cool that you are enjoying these old Sabbath songs, especially the ones that were not really played on the radio. I have seen your review of Hand of Doom and see you have one for National Acrobat also. Nice! I'm sure many of us would love for you to bring these reviews back to the start (their first album). If I may suggest, "The Wizard", "Wicked World" and the medley "Behind the Wall of Sleep/Basically/N.I.B" are really awesome tracks.
Happy Thanksgiving! I love your reactions, man and I've been a Sabbath fan for 30 years. Thank you so much for sharing your journey of discovery. You REALLY need to go back to the beginning and check out their self titled debut album. It's dark, heavy, bluesy, and the beginning of an entirely new era of rock music. Happy holidays, best wishes, and keep doing what you're doing. ✌
Your rockin it brother. You got me hooked on "Waiting Around to Die" by the Be Good Tanya's. I went down that rabbit hole and found one I know you'll love, same vibe. It's a cover by one of the greatest song writers ever, Bob Dylan. The song is "Ballad of Hollis Brown" covered by Rise Against. Dark and haunting song alot like Waiting Around to Die. You'll be a pioneer as I haven't seen a reaction to this song yet. Keep up the good work brother!
"LUCKY MAN" by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. 2012 remastered version. This is a story about a "lucky" man. Greg Lake wrote this when he was 12. I like your show and reactions.
You say "Can't sit still" while I was laying back like a mummy in my pillows hahah.. I was like "Oh! Huhum!" But you know how sometimes the dense exterior is still and the inner is lightly swaying right..
EXCELLENT!! This Song Definitely Rocks!! Thanks Again!! Still Waiting on Your Reaction to "Symptoms Of The Universe"!! GUARANTEED You'll Not Be Disappointed!!
I bought this album when it was released, (1973) I took it to my girlfriends house to play it for the first time. after this song finished, I asked her to marry me. we celebrate our 44 th anniversary in september.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Music is the food of love.
Sir you are one lucky man and amazing song to play I wish to have that one day
A very sabbath love story
fantastic❤😅

One-of-a-kind band created their own genre and dominated it for 40 years
This album is generally recognised as one of their very best. Sabbra Cadabra is one of those rare moments when they dropped the doom and gloom and went happy.
I will be purchasing
But play it backwards and it's the satanic verses /s
@@rogerwilcojr everything sounds satanic and weird backwards
diving deep into the catalog. it starts to become obvious that Sabbath is the greatest rock band of all time.
Metal*
It's fucking rad to see Sabbath getting so much respect from reaction channels lately. Definitely my new favorite channel. If you are ready for a challenge check out Megalomania or The Writ by Sabbath. Will show a new perspective.
The Writ....absolutely among my sabbath faves.

Loving the groove. Fell in love with Sabbath in the 70s religious scripture for me.
I’m stuck on them
Cannot miss with Sabbath!
Abracadabra reacts to Sabbra Cadabra \m/
😁, my theme song now

Rick Wakeman of Yes on keyboards. This album will be tops on your playlist. Heavy !
Got it
Flippin masterpiece. Perfect production work.

Yes I'm sure Ozzy & Rick shared a few drunken moments together
@@psbarrow I heard Rick say they met a the pub near the studio Tony was having trouble getting the keyboards right so Rick being bored with Topographic oceans helped the guys out with no credit
All the hip hop people love Sabbath.
Because they’re one of the few metal/hard rock bands with that much sauce and groove anyone from any genre can enjoy them
Its the groove
Listen to Killing yourself to live off the same album brilliant song.
Agree. That one and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
this is my style of miuzz ,goes well with mother nature in your back groud ,and she sends her own chants at the end of your vid ,love the birds ,they are mini angels ,rock on dude
Indeed right lol
They rock you rock…. Been listening to Sabbath for 45 years they got a groove!!!

A national acrobat.. yes also a very Geezer influenced track!
Black Sabbath rocks what else can be said...
✌🏾🙏
I wish the ending of this song never ended
One of my favorite Sabbath songs!! Named my cat after it, she was the greatest cat. Miss her

I love Sabbath, I can't believe this is being reacted to it's so obscure - go on with it! Awesome album all the way through!
Not really obscure !!! go listen to metallica play it as a tribute !!!! awesome !
Excellent. More Black Sabbath explosions. You will blow it up with Sabbath Into The Void
Into the void , got it ✌🏾

A metal love song the way sabbath can only do it.
My absolute favorite band,,, ya can't go wrong with Sabbath. Always 🔥 🦋✌🦋
Such a great album. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage are Black Sabbath masterpieces.
Thanks for checking this song out as I hadn't heard tgis Sabbath song but I've been watching a few of yo vids! Peace from Australia
My grandfather when he came to the states he bought this record and he sent it back home for my grandma to listen and she loves that song and now I know why

This is about the closest thing to a love song you'll find with old school Sabbath. :-)
Thank you for doing Black Sabbath reactions!! My fav band

hey dave I am smiling everytime I see you do a black Sabbath video Brings back memories bro!!!
Thank you for reacting to this Sabbath classic! We need a reaction to Behind the Wall of Sleep from Sabbath's first album. Funky AF.
They have been my personal favorite since 1978. Can't go wrong with Sabbath.
Just you wait till you get to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Symptom of the Universe, probably their two greatest tracks.
Been Saying that All Along!! I Totally Agree!! Told him on a few occasions to check out the 2 tunes you just mentioned!! Right up my Alley with those 2!! Let's Get Him To React!!
Probably their heaviest songs too (Ozzy-era)
Sabbath Rules!! Great reaction! 🤟
Bill mimics melodic guitar parts on the drums to end the song…masterful.
There is Black Sabbath... Followed by all the others.
Indeed

Another great reaction. I hope you get a chance to listen to "Solitude". Sabbath will always take you for a ride.
So,itude , got it
That was tough. Sabbath bloody Sabbath album is masterpiece, like every other first to fifth albums. Check Master of Reality album when you have time. It's killer.
Awesome, loved your reaction.
love your reaction bro. salute!
Great sabbath song. Really unique. Great album
That's in your own mind, music!!!✌️🇺🇸
Leave it to Black Sabbath to create a love song that is completely bad-@$$.
😂, I was thinking the same thing lol
Thanks for reacting to this tune. Always loved it. That ending though , always got me headbanging. To borrow one of your expressions , fire.
...........nice touch with the woodsy background.........

Love Black Sabbath! Grew up listening to this!

I love the way this song falls apart at the end.awesome
man i love your backyard
Check out "hole in the sky" and "symptom of the universe" from Black Sabbath. Hole in the sky especially has a really cool groove
love your vids, man. you seem cool as hell!
Its' a ride and you aint strapped in without headphones.
The bass player kicks he plays it like a lead guitar also the drummer plays like he's the lead !;! Strait up kickin ass
I bought the album with this on it as soon as it hit the stores, 73 or 74 i thiink..killer.
I told you it was FUNKY *******
This album is good, but you need to check out their next one, Sabotage, they raise it up a level. IMO
My favorite Sabbath album.
@@mikegoin6023 the raise it up even more , Damn
Subjectivity and all that, but i personally think they peaked with this very album!
I don't think there can be a wrong answer to the question "What is your favorite Black Sabbath album?" lol
@@mikegoin6023 If you're talking strictly Ozzy era, how about the godawful 'Technical Ecstasy'?
Can't be disappointed by Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, one of their best albums IMO, Tony Iommi's too.
Love your studio, back to basics.
Black Sabbath Matters
just.... WOW
Not bad for 4 English lads from the Black Country. The Black Country in England means industrial area . The smoke

Awesome song and great reaction! Can't go wrong with the Sabbath! Try the underrated album Never Say Die. 😆
