BLACK SABBATH / 1971 Long Beach Arena + The Forum (2CDR)

This release captures a live performance by the original Black Sabbath at the Long Beach Arena in California on September 25, 1971—part of the US tour following the release of *Master of Reality*—featuring an audience recording of exceptional sound quality for the era. While the Long Beach show is a revelation as a completely uncirculated recording, Disc 2 offers another high-quality audience recording from the *Paranoid* US tour: the February 23, 1971, show at The Forum. This version utilizes a different master source than the earlier release by the same taper. You can fully enjoy the live sound of the original Black Sabbath during their most energetic and powerful period, spanning the release of *Black Sabbath* (1970) through *Master of Reality* (1971).
