Live Evil

Product Information

Both Ronnie & Vinny are not listed as full members of the band. The band had already split up by this time this was released. Welte, Jim (22 April 2008). "Legends align for Metal Masters Tour".

A riposte to the unsanctioned ‘Live at Last’ album released three years previously and hot on the tails of Ozzy Osbourne’s double set ‘Speak of the Devil’ that consisted of twelve numbers from his former band, Sabbath wanted to bring out their own record of their onstage power.

The original 80’s US CD version had 2 discs in 2 Jewel Cases. The extra space allowed for the inclusion of War Pigs from the vinyl version, which is not on the original Vertigo print.

The crowd noise is still frustratingly low in the mix but the playing is what draws you in, these new sonic polishes putting you right there in the action.

The US cassette release has, as its first side, sides 1 and almost all of 2 except for "Iron Man" which fades out at end of Side 1. Then the second side began with "Iron Man" (via fade in) and sides 3 and 4 were intact. This was done to make the sides of the cassette of nearly equal length.Throughout, Iommi, Butler and Appice shine, their performances passionate and these new mixes help you appreciate just what a tight unit they’d become by then. The guitarist was always one of the leading inventors of the huge riffs but here you can really hear him play with a touch that few, if any, could match. Butler and Appice make an unstoppable rhythm section too, balancing killer punch with nuance. Nicholls too is an unsung hero, his playing adding real colour to the sound here that’s never intrusive but always welcome. The story continued over a decade later when Dio and Appice rejoined Iommi and Butler to record 1992’s Dehumanizer. They went their separate ways yet again, only to reconvene in 2006 – under the moniker Heaven and Hell – to record three new songs. After a hugely successful world tour, the quartet released what would be its final studio album, 2009’s The Devil You Know, which entered Billboard’s Top 200 chart at #8. Shortly after the album’s debut, Dio was diagnosed with cancer, a disease that led to his passing in 2010. Drummer Vinny Appice also gets to show his talents off with an amazing drum solo in the extended live version of Osbourne-era War Pigs. hours ago Gig Review : SAMANTHA FISH & JESSE DAYTON “DEATH WISH BLUES” TOUR O2 INSTITUTE, BIRMINGHAM

It was no secret that Ronnie didn’t enjoy singing material written for Ozzy’s vocal range but with the transposing of keys and his own magic added, ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Paranoid’ take on a different life, a monumental ‘Heaven and Hell’ and gritty ‘Voodoo’ let things truly fly though. Having been revitalised by the global success of both ‘Heaven and Hell’ and ‘Mob Rules’ following their disintegration at the end of the original line-up’s first stretch together, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Vinnie Appice and Ronnie James hit the road, along with keys player Geoff Nicholls.
