BBC 'In Concert' Pre-FM master

FLAC

* For some reason, Dujanovasionist's original upload description and text file claim that this be 'recorded at Hammersmith Odeon, London UK on the 09th September 1989'. IN FACT, HOWEVER, THE RECORDING ORIGINATES FROM THE SHOW AT MANCHESTER APOLLO, MANCHESTER, UK ON 6TH SEPTEMBER 1989! This is confirmed by Tony Martin's mentioning 'Manchester' after 'Children of the Sea', as well as by comparing this recording to the available audience recordings from both Manchester and London.

This version is NOT Dujanovasionist's remaster, but the Pre-FM source that he used for his remaster. A billion thanks to him for sharing this Pre-FM master, along with his remaster of it, on his blog <http://pre-fm-bootlegs.blogspot.de/2014/12/black-sabbath-in-concert.html> on 2014-12-25. To my knowledge (please correct me if I am wrong), Dujanovasionist was actually the very first to make this Pre-FM recording available to the Sabbath community. His original download link was already dead when I first heard about it, so a big 'Thank you!' also goes to my friend who tracked it down so masterly and shared it so generously with us. Finally, another big 'Thank you!' goes to the other friend who informed me about the existence of this recording in the first place.

There was no pre-fM Tony Martin era Sabbath in circulation until today. Now, we finally have a Martin era recording that can stand proud alongside Worcester '83, Asbury Park '75, and Boston '92.

This is probably the best boot from the Martin era. His voice is in great shape, and there's a small but pleasing number of tracks from the highly under-rated 'Headless Cross' album, along with classics from the Dio era and that other guy. It is not, however, the most complete recording there is. We don't get to hear 'The Shining' or a number of others from the night this was recorded. However, soundwise this floors 'Headless In Vienna' and the others. I rank it as one of my favourite Sabbath boots."

Line-up:

Tony Martin (Vocals)

Tony Iommi (Guitars)

Neil Murray (Bass)
