Mythology (Pre-Black Sabbath) - Spoonful (Live 1968)

- This is taken from a private audience recording of Mythology's very last show on 7/13/1968. During their final days, the band included Neil Marshall (bass), Chris Smith (vocals), Tony Iommi (lead guitar) and Bill Ward (drums). Mythology became dispirited after an incident where all four members were fined 15 pounds for possession of cannabis resin in Carlisle on 5/27/1968. Since this was considered to be a serious offense at the time, much of their gigging work dried up, and they disbanded after this final show in Siloth. Enjoy!

You can tell Iommi here is destined for greatness. So much soul in his playing.
If Tony were to have just played blues his whole life he'd have been remembered as a damn good blues player. But fortunately he invented heavy metal and became something more than just a damn good anglo-blues man. That being said, this is real blues right here, played with soul and feeling. Excellent bending technique and vibrato, and he still even then was doing those trademark Iommi hammer-ons.
Led Zeppelin invented heavy metal
@@pablomalaga4676 very debatable. To me it's less important who "invented" but more who laid the framework. Zeppelin and Sabbath definitely both did.
@@obscurebandfan I'm a Zep fan, and I totally agree with you
deep Purple and Uriah Heep played a role too.
Well actually Blues was the original Heavy Metal, it was dark, moody, it referenced the devil but in a negative context instead of positive, and the church hated it, seriously if you listen to the early Blues, for its time its lyrically as dark as some of the stuff Sabbath did, besides 70's Heavy Metal is heavily Blues based, and it has elements of the other Black music genres spun off from Blues, like funk, R&B, and Soul, which gave it a real swing and edge, like a lot of early Priest from that time.
He cut of his fingers, during an accident (1965) in a factory where he worked. Listening to this, it is clear that Tony Iommi is a far more potential guitar player, then he is given credit
I have the other 8 tracks from this show as well. I'll get around to posting them sometime when I'm not completely drained from my high school teaching.
Holy shit this must be the oldest YT comment I respond to, ever. Hail Tony.
To High School Teacher. Vid Uploader b😁🍻☕👍✌️🕊️
"Thanks for being a School Teacher too." 😁👍✌️🕊️
Hope you get them all up sometime.
You could hear this in a dark room and still know it's iommi 🎸🤘
Anyone who knows music can tell it's Tony Iommi on guitar, c'mon
Very distinctive playing style. And he sounds like Tony on any guitar. He's playing a strat here.
Tony for sure
Iommi and buddy guy my 2 fav guitarists.. Play with true feel and passion anger and all in between
Tony destroyed all those end of 60’s blues heavy player in this one... by far better and more criative than the clapton version, better than alvin lee, by far better than canned heat.
Iommi its unique. Simple, criative, direct!!! What a axeman!!!
Wheels of Fire
@@camilo1455 yup enough said, Clapton was doing it in 66 with Hendrix🔥🎸
Not Hendrix, you checked his entire discography? Doing heavy blues , fast hard rock and some metal? That’s what made Hendrix the goat! he was doing all that together !
My top 3 guitarists would be Hendrix, Page, Iommi, . Hendrix & Page were both doing heavy blues hard rock and some metal.
Yes. Tony will play jazz like a pro. Too. Put him against anyone of that era
I have to say that I love the sound of these older recordings. It's a dirty sound that suits Iommi's style perfectly! Long live Iommi, long live the SABS!
This really highlights how important Geezer was to the Sabbath sound, both him and Iommi boosted each others sound and playing. The bassist here playing the stereotype of the same thing over and over leaves the song empty without soul underneath Iommi's great guitar playing
That's how Spoonful goes. Like a lot of blues songs.
@tom summer True, but Black Sabbath had other great bassists too that also worked well with Iommi like Dave Spitz and Neal Murray.
Iommi and he
@@metalwarrior81 Not as well as Geezer. Neil claimed Tony would get abit miffed at him because of the timing. There was a fluency in timing that Tony and Geezer had. I'm not a musician, but, I believe he's referring to the change in tempo's. There's a interview with Neil on CZcams regarding that. Neil, I think, seemed mildly annoyed by it even when he's talking. But after all, Tony and Geezer had played together for so long, it shouldn't have surprised Neil.
Another fact is geezer was originally a guitar player, but then as iommi found him thats when he swapped to bass and never played bass before
This is HISTORY..........MUSIC HISTORY..........A SOUND THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER
Black Sabbath is amazing forever they will be I am so glad I saw them3x's I should say I was blessed to see them✝️🙏😎 thank you God🦇🖤🤟.......
Oh to travel back in time, to be able to say "I was there", supping beer at a shilling a pint and snagging Tony and Bill's autographs!
+Skraeling1000 shilling a pint?? that must have been the good stuff, Matty Brown's Bitter was only 9d-(remember the d for pence) in the 3 Tuns Whitehaven. Excellent times, for music and ale.
Gordon Bennett OMG, you'll probably remember John Peel beer then? Does the 3 tuns still get the bikers in? Been years since I was there. I used to go to the Lowther Arms and Sun Inn at Hensingham, probably was a shilling for Hartleys and Jennings!
+Skraeling1000 Aye mate, what I remember best was discovering Carlsberg Export Hof in the Mermaid Workington, on the night in 1969 Sabbath played our Colledge Christmas Party, in the big room at the front which had been the Tech School. Standing and talking to those about to become ledgends, AWESOME memory.
They actually did this gig as a favour for all the local support, weeks later they pulled a New Years Eve gig at the TowBar, Don Kerno still wanted them to play for £30, they asked for £1 a minute minumum and free everything and he wouldn't pay it. LOL
the final solo sound Like Warning..amazing..
Black Sabbath did a cover of " Warning " from another band.
im blown away by tony's playing/ band sounds great but my god hes already awesome so awesome and could hang with anyone..i would have thought he wouldnt belong in same room with clapton or green at this time in the area of blues but wow...even more respect than i already had for him in first place..
Tony Iommi is so distinctive. You can easily tell this is him. One of the best guitarists ever.
Mythology were busted on 5/27/1968 for cannabis resin?That's three days before I was born..Iommi absolutely killed Clapton here.You can tell Tony had his sound right here before the Gibson SG,down tuning and Sabbath.And with a Fender Strat yet.
("Sgt.J.") "I, Actually had Stand up! By Jethro Tull." And, he is on the Record ad a Band member. He used a White "Lefty" Strat. And, played the Slide on "Song for Jeffrey." I, hope i, supplied an Interesting "Tid bit." The Band mentioned here. I'm not that hip to. But. I, am about to watch the vid. Have a good one. ✌️👍🕊️
I always wondered what it would sound like, if Hendrix and Noel Redding were sitting in the audience watching Cream play and Jack Bruce invited them on the stage and Clapton said, "Fine, if you want them up here, Noel can play your bass and Jimi can sing, but if he even touches my guitar, I swear I'm walking out!"
This is great stuff! always wondered what Iommi sounded like before Black Sabbath, playing the white Stratocaster. Thanks.
great rare stuff.many ,many thanks for uploading.i was fortunate enough to meet chris smith and his wife in lichfield recently ,they are still so cool and happy to share their memories of the carlisle days when the music scene was just something else.long live youtube.cheers blacksabfan.
this rocks,thanks for puttin this on
I've said for years that we've barely heard Iommi's REAL guitar skill........I've even watched EVH say "Tony is as good, or BETTER, than ANYONE OUT THERE!!!......
Iommi is definitely in my top 5 of all time but to rank them good we need to listen more even entirely, this song definitely made me admire Iommi more🔥
Eddie was right about that. At l east Eddie is admitting that Tony is much more well rounded of a guitar player than most out there. Eddy always played the same style. Once you' his finger tapping you heard everything.
Thank you for uploading this.
Excellent! Sounds great
those hammer-ons at 2:05....... fucking mental!!!!!
My favorite part , it is metal there, the rest is heavy blues
Rare Black Sabbath just in time to add to my channel , Thanks for this find
START TO GET A TASTE OF THAT METAL EDGE
yeah it was...this was very educational and entertaining too...
This is absolutely amazing
awsome rareties you are posting mate, cheers
wow nice find...thanks for sharing :)
Unmistakable, evil riffs no matter what type of music Iommi is playing, or what guitar for that matter.
Very rare Tony Iommi and Bill Ward's old band. It sounds a lot like Creem.
Obviously, Cream & Hendrix started Metal in 1966 with the heavy jazzy blues, Hendrix made them so heavy the term “heavy blues” was introduced and Cream was doing more Jazzy, Are You Experienced album & Fresh Cream showed the first metal riffs and songs🔥
I ❤❤❤ Black Sabbath !
Too Awesome! There's no mistaking that sweet sweet Tony riffage-Great post!
Excellent!
Now this is RARE!!!
Hey!!!
A tasty bit of history here!
Thats Iommi for sure! At 20 years old, he was ripping it out! Not sure if this performance was prior to the accident? But!!! Thank you for the upload!!!
Really enjoyed it...a few times over!
way after the accident
Amazing.
Wowza!
Pegada bem característica dele....o Deus do Metal 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
the guy in the front looks like the guy from flight of the conchords
This guy is going places A damn good blues player he would have been just fine playing the blues too but he invented his own style awesome
ॐ healing mantra
This is great stuff! Iommi was rocking!
I think we could clean up the sound a bit more. The background noise anyway without losing the music.
Iommi rips on this wish they recorded a proper album but awesome someone recorded this.
one of your best posts, blacksabfan!!!!
The dood in the front of the photo looks like Jemaine form Flight of the Conchords.
Kinda
Edit:
"Yooouuu could be a paarrrt tiiiiime model"
Tony looks so different from when he was in Black Sabbath!!!!!!
Gritty, heavy fucking blues. I love it.
Heard it before awesome sounds like old blue cheer or creem
Hell, Yeah!!! Toni Iommi and Will Ward!!!
I used to know Chris Smith years ago he is really a top bloke
Sick cover! Tony's twist on clapton is nasty af.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
he had them cut since before 1970, after sabbaths two first successful albums he didn't need to work at the factory that was responsible for him losing his fingertips
Where do you get this shit information from?
Blues 🤘🤘🤘
Rock on blues man 🤘
Iommi forever
I have quite a lot of family who live in Silloth. Wonder if any of them were at this gig? The Riffmeister is on top form here.
@Iommi91
Yes...that would be anytime between February 19, 1965 and February 18, 1966. Just like I already implied above.
Really, the only important thing is that his accident was BEFORE this recording. That is certain.
Song like Dave walker’s singer before sabbath….😊
I keep half expecting a young blues crooning ozzy to pop in anytime
Imagine what would've happened if Mythology hadn't been busted for pot. Iommi and Ward probably wouldn't have started what became Black Sabbath, meaning of course we probably never would've heard of Ozzy, and Dio certainly wouldn't have become as known as he did.
No Black Sabbath, no metal at all!
Certainly no metal as we know it.
Iron Butterfly/ Ina Gadda Vida in 1968 was metal before the term came about that is if you compare it to what is called metal
me too, but not my only reason...:)
I reckon Dio would still be a big name singer as he worked with Blackmore. With a voice like he had you can't help take notice of him. True talent always shines. Ozzy would probably be in prison as he got done for burglary. Someone told him to wear gloves but he cut the fingers off. Not realising at the time the gloves would hide fingerprints. Oz may have been in some band with Geezer but would they have made it as big?
@hydraIX Its Howling Wolf who did the orignal
@theOrsonFilms
No, it was the day before he was going to go on tour with the band called "The Rest". This would of been sometime in 1966. In any case, it was long before this recording. Besides, Iommi said it took some time to relearn and devise a way to be able to play; if he did it right before Sabbath's Euro tour in presumably 1969 (since you don't bother to make this clear and it's the earliest possible date), how could he have played on the first album then? So, you're wrong. Sorry.
@tacosalad98 Tony Iommi is in the back and that is Bill Ward on the right
Yes, but if you tune them down to C#, it makes a lot more sense with regard to playing the songs. Try it with, "Master of Reality" and " Vol. 4". If you do that, you are able to match that sound. Paranoid was in A440, so you can play that normally, but after that they dropped down. Try it. It rocks and it's fun!
At the risk of getting hate mail, the ONLY reason I like anything Clapton ever did was because of some live Cream stuff he did. But Iommi takes a GIANT DUMP on Clapton here.
I like the SG better though, but this is totally cool.
Yeah Cream only became the legend because it of what he did in Cream & the Dominos
Gary C, you're referring to the keys the songs are written in, not the key the guitar is tuned to. I was talking about tuning, not the base chords.
👍
Damn Tony was already great in 68
This is amazing. Do you like know Iommi or something? Kidding aside, these are really good bootlegs.
@adamsmith13real If you take his birthday and that the accident happened when he was 17, you come up with 1965. So he had already had his accident when this recording was made.
If you look at the good tablatures all the songs in the Ozzy era are written in E, but the middle four albums -- Master of Reality, Volume 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and Sabotage -- are tuned 1 1/2 steps down. The same tabs can be used to play in any tuning, but all of the strings have to have the same intervals they have in standard. If you drop-D you have to use modified tabs for the top string.
Could you please point out which publishers are the 'good tablatures' publishers?
and yet the song Spoonful...
Was Iommi using Banjo strings during this time? Awesome tune
Song is Originally from Howlin' Wolf. Old blues guy.
Yup thanks to him a lot got inspired, including , Zeppelin , Hendrix , Clapton, his debut album from 58 even has that song called “shake it” sounds like Santana in 58!🔥
PINK FLOYD RECORDED A HEAVY METAL SONG IN 1968: THE NILE SONG!
Kinks- you really got me 1964. Many identify this as the first even Bill Ward
Some Small Faces 1966 stuff was already very sheer heavy metal.
None of that shit is heavy metal.
rosenb37 without that "shit" we wouldn't have heavy metal.
Caveguy22 that’s very true but the first band to play what we know today as metal was Sabbath. Obviously there were lots of artists that influenced the development of metal like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Blue Cheer, amongst many others. But Sabbath took it a step further, which is why they are considered the first true metal band.
Classic IOMMI
Iommi had already cut off his fingertips at this time.
yeah they didn't make strings that were very light so he was using a strat, and some of the strings were banjo strings
Long life Willie Dixon and Howling Wolf
Its insane
How the band Was forget like ancient tale before the actual lengend started like a génesis from the bible shrouded in mistery before the World started
I like Clapton with Cream and the Bluesbreakers. I adore Iommi, though.
Wow, he could really trill even before he put on prosthetic fingertips!
He got them at 17.
no i dont mean the drop d tuning and on master of reality the guitar werent tuned in drop d, iommi tuned it down to c#. standard c# tuning, no drop tuning.
Great heavy stuff for 1968. The vocals are a little too Cream-ish thou. But they set the gears in motion for evolution for the heaviest band in history, BS.
this was one of Cream's greatest hits...hello?
They're supposed to be lol, it's a cover
Wheels of Fire
Hendrix was the heaviest in 68..🔥🎸
@@sz5876 it’s a cover of a cover lol😆👍🏼, Howlin fucking Wolf!
@adamsmith13real He did it in 1966 so yes...
the sound on this video is really soft
@blacksabfan
?? i thought it was while the 3. album where the guitar is tuned down to c' the first time? this isnt possible he cut them off in 68 lol
@Avalon365 Cream did this too
Ginger Baker w/ Eric Clapton ⚔️ Bill Ward w/ Tony Iommi 😳
Mitch Mitchelle w Hendrix🔥
you guys should have a radio show Mike n Mike hahahahahahah
hahaha i dont know mike but who gives a crap i like it this way ,can't wait for the new sabb cd
iommi beat the shit out of clapton in 6 minutes vith 14 seconds lol
Lol sorry but that’s an overstatement, Clapton was way Heavier then, the Cream from 66-68 did Metal riffs and even songs, only Clapton could compete with Hendrix then. I’m sure you would even make Iommi laugh saying that , it’s obvious Black Sabbath found inspiration and were influenced by Cream, you can hear it in the first Sabbath album and on the Earth demos.
@@edgarsifuentes3248 Jeff Beck
@@kamatsutra7031 I really liked his playing in train kept a rolling with the Yardbirds but he really didn’t experiment much only from my knowledge; in rice pudding and shape of things , that was physchedelic and heavy
somebody knows who is tony iommy in the picture ?
Top middle. Bill Ward on the right.
Accident in 1966
@loouuni
I have no idea what the hell you're trying to say.
What was name of the club in Silloth?
Queen's Hotel...
Was that prior to Iommi's accident?
I would guess yes as it was like the day before he was to play full time with sabbath
É sério
