CD Description
The only other incarnation of Black Sabbath that stomped a footprint into heavy metal history (other than the influential and classic Ozzy era), was led by former Elf/Rainbow vocal powerhouse Ronnie James Dio. With former Dio solo band drummer Vinny Appice in tow, the band reconvened for a third time as Heaven & Hell. LIVE FROM RADIO CITY captures a flawlessly executed 2007 performance that draws from all three studio albums, as well as showcasing new material.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful
Friday now - got this show on Tuesday evening. Played it non stop since then. It;s absolutely brilliant. Just short of 2 hours of non stop heavy rock. I was never a Tony Iommi in the 70s but my God he's so damn good. I also used to think Ossie was the only singer for Black Sabbath - how wrong was I. Stand outs - very hard cos its so consistently good. But a reworked "Heaven and Hell" is inspired. Any downers - OK the 3 or minute drum solo on dsc 1 is unnecessary and the long fade out of audience sounds is a bit indulgent. But what the hell its just a joy to listen to.

AT LAST!!!
AT LAST!!! a great dio era sabbath live album. always preferd this version of the band, gr8 songs and an incredible live performance. a must have for sabbath fans and a great introduction for people unfamiliar with the dio era. Dio's voice is incredible and tony's guitaring is spellbinding, especialy on the start of 'die young'. GET THIS ALBUM!

...bringers of evil...
I suppose with all the broohaha and hoopla surrounding the Dio era Black Sabbath reunion, that a live album had the word inevitable written all over it. Of course we've already got one of these - "Live Evil" - but for some strange reason everyone slags it off, which is odd, as it's rather good. But commercial needs must, so the recording trucks were sent into the Radio City Music Hall to record the stunningly entitled "Live From Radio City Music Hall".

The spooky 'E5150' gets the crowd going mental before Sabbath, sorry H&H launch into 'After All (The Dead)', something that will have had many of the crowd shaking their heads in finest WTF fashion. A bit cheeky of the Sabs to start things off with a track from "Dehumaniser", an album that nobody, repeat nobody bought. But, hey, at least it isn't 'Computer God'. Oh, bugger, there it is. But fortunately, they resurrect 'I', one of the freat lost Sabbath classics.

Then, we start to find a reason for this reunion to exist - 'The Mob Rules' and 'Children Of The Sea'. Bam! You see, what people tend to forget is that Ozzy era Sabbath were pretty rubbish post 1971. But the "Heaven And Hell" and "Mob Rules" albums are stone cold classics, required listening for everyone who claims to love the rawk.

Appice, Butler and Iommi are in storming form, and even though Dio has become a tad gruffer over the years, he still holds court as only a master of metal can. They mix it up with a couple of the new tracks they recorded for the best of album, but it's the magic they created over quarter of a century ago that is recreated to best effect. 'The Sign Of The Southern Cross', 'Voodoo' and 'Lonely Is The Word' are peerless example of the Sabs at their finest.

Should you own this? Of course you should. And you'd better make sure you don't miss their UK shows either. It'll be your last chance this lifetime.
