Black Sabbath have gone through several different iterations during their existence, but which of their songs with Ozzy Osbourne have never been played live?The metal group played their first concert as Black Sabbath in August of 1969, so we’re coming up on 56 years of Sabbath concerts. They of course wrapped up their final tour in 2017, but now that they have one more show booked for 2025, we can consider them an active band again.To commemorate their upcoming final performance, we wanted to look back on their setlists and see which songs from the Osbourne era were never played live in concert. Thus, we plugged in every song from 1970’s Black Sabbath through ’78’s Never Say Die, as well as their final 2013 album 13, into Setlist.fm’s tour statistics.With the exception of instrumental tracks, there are a total of 20 songs from Sabbath’s albums with Osbourne that never made the cut live, according to Setlist.fm. Therefore, there may have been a time where a song was played for a specific event that wasn’t a concert.READ MORE: Black Sabbath’s Setlist From their Final 2017 PerformanceUnsurprisingly, all of the tracks from their first record had been played live at least one time.
