Geezer Butler, writing for the
Friars Aylesbury website in 2008 said:
"Unfortunately,
I don't remember too much about that gig , but I'm sure we were
delighted to be asked to play there, as gigs back then before the first
album's success were few, and we were always grateful of being asked to
play. I'll ask Tony Iommi if he remembers, he seems to have a better
memory than the rest of us. Good luck with your project"

This wasn't the first time Freddie King
pulled a gig at the last minute at Friars - he repeated the stunt in 1974.
Black Sabbath went on to
become a hugely successful band and tour and record in one format or
another (currently Heaven and Hell) today. The original line up
occasionally reformed for one of Osbourne's Ozzfests. Osbourne became a
household name into the 21st century not for his music, but as the star,
with his family, in MTV reality show The Osbournes. So much so that
Osbourne and Tony Iommi played together at Buckingham Palace in 2002 as
part of the Queens' Golden Jubilee celebrations.
