Advertisement for Aussie '71 visit from January 23rd, 1971 edition of Melody Maker. Although the flyer says Sabbath would be peforming in Myponga on February 1st, it was actually just before midnight on the 31st of January.
Black Sabbath made their first visit to Australia in 1971. Oddly, they made this long flight only to perform just one show in Myponga, where they headlined 'The Australian Festival of Progressive Music'. Co-headliner Cat Stevens cancelled at the last moment. Black Sabbath took the stage at 11 PM on Sunday, January 31st, 1971 (the 2nd day of the festival). They were preceded by Fraternity, which included future AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott!
Footage from the Myponga show was shown on a music program called GTK by ABC-TV. This 2 minute black & white clip shows the band performing at the festival. The original version included an overdubbed audio track of the "Paranoid" studio track, which didn't even match the footage. The audio has been removed to present the footage more naturally, as well as for copyright considerations.
This rare glimpse of the band performing live in 1971 goes by rather quickly, but is still quite a treat to see. Thanks to Shigeru Sato for bringing this to my attention back in 2003 and Rich Grenfell for providing the DVD-R source.
