Black Sabbath/Italy 02.21.1972 Complete

The simultaneous revival of two masterpieces that reigned supreme in the “VOL. 4” era has been decided! The best sound masterpiece will be reissued and released on a permanent preservation CD!! This work is the second part of such a two-part release. It is a super-excellent audience recording of the “February 21, 1973 Brescia performance.” The two masterpieces of the “VOL. 4 Tour” will be released at the same time, but in fact, these two works have very different personalities and sets. To explain this, let’s first take a bird’s-eye view of their activities at the time and confirm their respective positions. 1972 January 24th – February 24th: UK #1 (20 performances) March 1st – April 2nd: North America #1 (31 performances) {“VOL.4” completed in May} May 7th: Paris performance * July 7th – September 15th: North America #2 (26 performances) ←※DAYTON 1972 {“VOL.4” released on September 25th} 1973 * January 5th – 19th: Oceania (7 performances) * February 15th – March 3rd: Europe (15 performances) ←★Here★ * March 9th – 18th: UK #2 (10 performances) ←※Official LIVE AT LAST August 2nd: LONDON MUSIC FESTIVAL appearances (September “Bloody Sabbath” produced, November release) December 9th-17th: UK #3 (4 performances) *Note: “*” indicates “VOL.4 Tour.” This is the 1972/1973 BLACK SABBATH masterpiece audience recording from the VOL. 4 era. The “VOL.4 Tour” spans from “North America #2” in the summer of 1972 to “UK #2” in the spring of 1973. The Brescia performance in this work was the sixth performance of the “European” leg, approximately three weeks before the official traditional album “LIVE AT LAST.” The greatest point of this vacuum-packed show is the sound. The simultaneously released “DAYTON 1972 (Zodiac 797)” is a masterpiece that combines the value of extremely rare songs, but this work is a super masterpiece that became the king of the “VOL. 4 Tour” purely for its excellent sound quality. In other words, it’s an unavoidable masterpiece that you should definitely listen to if you’re listening to the VOL. 4 era. We’ve archived 70s BLACK SABBATH with as many classic audiences as possible, but each tour has its absolute best. This is a good opportunity, so let’s take a look at the eight best tours from the eight tours. Eight of the Greatest Audience Recordings of the ’70s: 1st Era: DEFINITIVE LAUSANNE 1970; 2nd Era: ETERNAL VOID OF DOOM; 3rd Era: BEGGARS’ BANQUET DANCE 1971; 4th Era: BRESCIA 1973 (this album); 5th Era: DEFINITIVE PROVIDENCE 1974; 6th Era: DEFINITIVE LONG BEACH 1975; 7th Era: COMPLETE FRESNO 1976; 8th Era: DEFINITIVE FRESNO 1978. These are the best audience recordings of each tour corresponding to the eight albums. While soundboards don’t cover every tour, audience recordings allow you to trace every tour with a full live album. In other words, the above eight works are an essential collection for learning about Black Sabbath in the ’70s. And this is the crowning masterpiece of the “VOL.4 Tour.” A pinnacle of miraculous recordings, this is one of the eight masterpieces mentioned above. It’s been reissued from the “50th Anniversary Edition,” the pinnacle of the original masterworks, and its sound is comparable to Mike Millard’s masterpiece “Definitive Long Beach 1975 (Zodiac 600).” The cheers and applause between songs capture the audience’s vividness, but the essential performance sounds and vocals are like… no, a complete soundboard. Even with headphones, there’s no hall resonance, and the on-core has zero sense of distance, making the fine details hard to believe they were spatial recordings. The official traditional album “Live at Last” was compiled from two performances, and the track order was rearranged for an analog LP release. In contrast, this work is a consistent, one-take audience recording of comparable quality. Its experience and realism make it an absolute must-have for the “VOL. 4 Tour.” It’s also one of the “8 Best Masterpieces” that have been permanently preserved at the highest quality. It’s a magnificent reprint here. This is a superb audience recording of the “February 21, 1973 Brescia Performance.” This is the strongest and best album from the “VOL. 4 Tour.” The sound, uniquely mastered by the original master unearthed in 2020, is comparable to “DEFINITIVE LONG BEACH 1975,” which was touted as Mike Millard’s masterpiece. This is an absolute must-listen for the “VOL. 4 Tour.” Palazzo E.I.B., Brescia, Italy 21st February 1973 TRULY PERFECT SOUND (52:54) 1. Intro 2. Tomorrow’s Dream 3. Sweet Leaf 4. War Pigs 5.
