I think Iommi probably has the more authentic tone though.
(edit- thought you meant the track, not the band, and I missed out on this line up when RJD died just before they were supposed to headline at High Voltage festival- Saw him just before on his solo tour with Doug Aldritch at the Astoria though, glad about that )
Geezer's bass tone certainly helps. Far too many bassists go for loads of low and treble and no mids.
But as Sabbath / Queen / ZZ Top / Kings X etc etc show, a mid heavy P bass with more than expected overdrive really fills the sound out.
It's not a great tone alone - sounds too middy and farty but it's so fat in the mix. The farty drive actually sounds quite clean in the mix, the true tone only shows isolated.

It's very low in the mix - fills out the sound just enough while giving the illusion of there just being the regular band up there.

TGP/Wiki appears to confirm:

is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

As regards Spike Edney - he took a bow with the rest of Queen at the end of the Live Aid gig and for the rest of the Magic tour dates?
