Il existe de très nombreux bootlegs de Black Sabbath mais pour ce qui concerne la période 1970 à 1978 la plupart sont d’une qualité sonore qui va du médiocre à l’exécrable. Il y a toutefois quelques exceptions, par exemple le bootleg « Montreux 1970 » ou le concert d’Asbury Park du 6 août 1975.
A partir de 1980, on trouve assez facilement d’excellents enregistrements… mais ce n’est plus Ozzy Osborne qui chante dessus, ou alors il faut attendre la tournée de la reformation en 1997.
