Black sabbath live evil3/16/2023 ![]() It wasn't until 1982's double-LP Live Evil (which featured Ronnie James Dio instead of the Oz) that Warner finally put out a live Sabbath album in the U.S. during Ozzy Osbourne's years with the band. ![]() If these shows were ever released on dvd I would kill to see and have it.Surprisingly, Warner Brothers never released a live Black Sabbath album in the U.S. I have this on vinyl and cd but the vinyl version sounds much better. The intro of E5150 still gives me goosebumps today, especially if played loud through headphones. All in all this album is a major influence on who I am and what I do today. I love the tonal phasing effect T.I uses aswell, it really adds to the crunch and to the searing lead breaks. ‘sign of the southern cross’ – when the guitar cuts halfway in to the verse it says it all for me. Plus the older tracks are given serious kick up the arse by the hard delivery and of course RJD superb dramatic vocals. Listen to ‘voodoo’ ‘children of the sea’ and ‘heaven and hell’ ,metal doesn’t get much heavier than that. Ok, some gripes,the drums are very low in the mix plus the audience is mega distant, but the power of the guitar and bass wall of crunch is just beautiful. I was hooked on this set from day 1 and I still love it to this day. The guitar and bass tone are amazing, T.I guitar sound just crunches so heavily and G.B overdriven bass rumble is immense. This was my second experience of Sabbath at around 12yrs old after hearing the Vol4 lp.
