Jim Simpson (manager, Earth/Black Sabbath) : They were always captivating, very in-your-face live, but the thing that really made them tight was a stint as Earth at The Star Club in Hamburg in August 1969. I remember that when they came back Tony's fingers were bleeding and Ozzie couldn't speak. They'd been playing every day from eight at night til four in the morning, 45 minutes on, fifteen off.
