Black Sabbath/Denmark 1970

In 2020, BLACK SABBATH from the 1970s has suddenly been discovered repeatedly. As a new treasure, a live album has been born that significantly updates the longest record set 50 years ago. [New excavated reel master of debut year “1970”] What is engraved on this work is “December 12, 1970 Copenhagen performance”. This is an exquisite audience recording. The biggest point of this work is the wonderful sound and unprecedented length, but first of all, the show position. Speaking of 1970, not only the shocking debut work “BLACK SABBATH” but also the eternal masterpiece “PARANOID” was released, and the super important album “BRUSSELS 1970” and the transcendental sound board “MONTREUX 1970” were also left behind. Year. Let’s take a look back at the entire “fateful year” including those. [Single “Evil Woman” released on January 9th] ・January 13th – February 13th: UK (6 performances) [“BLACK SABBATH” released on February 13th] ・March 4th – June 15th: Europe #1 (69 performances)《June 16th-17th “PARANOID” production》・June 21st-September 15th: Europe #2a (27 performances)←※MONTREUX 1970《September 18th “PARANOID” Release》・September 20th-October 26th: Europe #2b (21 performances)←*BRUSSELS 1970・October 30th-November 28th: ​​North America (31 performances)・December 5th-19th: Europe #3 (6 performances) ←★Here★ This is the overall picture of 1970, when fate began to take shape. It is common for “Europe #2a” to run until the end of August as the “BLACK SABBATH TOUR,” and from September as the “PARANOID TOUR,” but there are only about 10 days left in the schedule, so they are actually consecutive. Masu. “MONTREUX 1970” and “BRUSSELS 1970” were live performances before and after the release of “PARANOID”, but the Copenhagen performance of this work was much later. This was the second concert of “Europe #3”. This work, which records such a show, is a beautiful recording. Only “Wicked World” has been known for a long time, but this work is a complete version digitized directly from the latest excavated original reel master. Although it is not a close-contact type that can be mistaken for a sound board, there is no sense of distance, and even the smallest details are vivid. There are some parts where the volume changes momentarily, but the recording itself is very clean, and there is no stiffness or chatter that is common with vintage recordings. The sound of the four people’s spinning jumps into your ears in a fresh and fresh manner down to the smallest details. Moreover, this work is the highest peak edition that explores the possibility of such beautiful recording. Of course, the naturalness of the original sound has not been compromised in the slightest, but the overall balance has also been fine-tuned while improving the clarity of the slightly rounded treble. At this time, we took great care not to make the hiss noise too strong, resulting in a sound that is both beautiful and crisp. [Full show of over 70 minutes that was so full that Paranoid was played twice] What is depicted with such a sound is a full show that is like a concentrated reduction of two great albums “BLACK SABBATH” + “PARANOID”. Speaking of live albums from 1970, everyone’s favorite “MONTREUX 1970” reigns as a symbol, but this work is incomparably longer! First, let’s organize the sets while comparing them. Black Sabbath (3 songs)・Behind The Wall Of Sleep／Black Sabbath (★)／Wicked World (★) Paranoid (6 songs, 7 takes)・Paranoid (2 takes)／N.I.B.／War Pigs／Iron Man／Hand Of Doom /Fairies Wear Boots *Note: Songs marked with a “★” cannot be heard even on the sound board super masterpiece “MONTREUX 1970”. …and it looks like this. You might think that “Black Sabbath” and “Wicked World”, which are not included in “MONTREUX 1970”, are not particularly rare…but in fact, it is extremely rare to have them all together. The show opened with the new song “Paranoid”, and they played all the songs they could play at the time, so much so that they played “Paranoid” for the second time as an encore. The running time of this work is 73 minutes, but this is actually Sabbath’s first recording of over 70 minutes. Maybe they played for more than 70 minutes at other shows, but the middle of the recording was omitted, or there was no tape until the end. There is no other complete record. Moreover, such a long masterpiece recording has not appeared for a while since then. In 1972, the sound was bad for episodes that lasted more than 70 minutes, and in 1973, neither the sound nor the duration were noticeable. When it comes to sound and length comparable to this work, there is nothing up to that “CALIFORNIA JAM 1974: The Complete Master”. Lately, new excavations from the 70’s have been continuing, but to put it in an extreme, the only point was “sound quality”. To put it more clearly, it was the (excellent) audience experience of the tour that I was able to hear at “LIVE AT LAST” and “LIVE LONGEST… DIE AT LAST”. However, this work is different. A full show in 1970 that I couldn’t find out about even in “MONTREUX 1970” and “BRUSSELS 1970”. It is an amazing new excavation album where you can enjoy the whole picture of the show that gave everything so much as to play “Paranoid” twice with wonderful sound. This is the truth of “1970” when British rock heavyweight BLACK SABBATH appeared. The ultimate experience. K.B. Hallen, Copenhagen, Denmark 12th December 1970 PERFECT SOUND (72:58) 1. Intro. 2.
