Black Sabbath,Dio/FL,USA 1992 & more

From the “DEHUMANIZER” tour, which was the second time for Ronnie James Dio and Black Sabbath to join together, to the Sunrise performance in Florida on July 24, 1992, which was the first leg of the North American tour, and the European tour. Introducing a title that is attracting attention from fans, which is set with the Groningen performance in the Netherlands on September 17th, which is the sound source of the final day confirmed in . Disc 1 and Disc 2 record the memorable first day of the American tour, which was the first in 10 years since the “MOB RULES” tour, in the highest quality from the sound check before the show started. While it has the realism and direct and edgy sound that can only be expected from audience recording, it also has the balance of a soundboard level, and while it focuses on Ronnie’s vocals, it also features Tony Iommi’s guitar, as well as Tony Iommi’s guitar. Geezer Butler’s bass is also very easy to hear, and you can immerse yourself in the heavy live performance typical of Sabbath as if you were at the venue. This is the return of a line-up that has been hugely successful all over the world, and the excitement and anticipation in the venue was high from the show’s opening song, “E5150,” and the excitement when The Mob Rules started was heart-warming just by listening to it. I feel excited. The flow that leads to Computer God, where Iommi’s heavy riffs and the undulating bass line that only Geezer can produce creates a unique charm, is full of the charm that is unique to this lineup. Of course, Vinnie Appice is also playing an active role in Children Of The Sea and War Pigs with his power and skill, and his playing is comparable to that of Cozy Powell, who was in the band until the previous year. . Ronnie also seems to be more excited than usual as it is the first day of the tour, and he releases a passionate vocal to the audience throughout the performance. In an interview during the production of “DEHUMANIZER,” Iommi said about Ronnie at the time, “Ronnie’s singing in DIO became too smooth and stayed at a certain level,” but here Ronnie… has brilliantly regained the angry and intense performance that was heard immediately after joining Sabbath in 1980. As a feature of the first half of the tour, “TV Crimes” is being played in the second half of the show on this day. This song was particularly popular among the fans among the songs on “DEHUMANIZER” as a speedy and aggressive masterpiece, but for some reason it was dropped from the set only during the first half of the tour. I was able to enjoy this song in the pro-shot video recorded from the Rio de Janeiro performance, but that was originally VTR material from South America, so it had a big negative element in terms of clarity and impact. However, in this work, the song is recorded in a clear state without compromising the original roughness and speed, and although it is the first appearance as an audience sound source, the take recorded in this work will be ranked as the highest quality. The following Master Of Insanity has already been played as a medley with After All, so on this day you can enjoy all the songs played on the “DEHUMANIZER” tour with Ronnie at once, making it a very premium live. . The Groningen performance in the Netherlands, recorded on Discs 3 and 4, is already in the middle of the tour, and the band has developed a stable show that is completely familiar with the flow of the live performance. The venue where the show was held that day, called The Evenementenhal, is said to be a medium-sized arena where basketball games are usually held, and the sound quality captures the characteristics of the venue well, with just the right amount of sound circulation and echo. The sound has a sense of scale. At Sunrise performances, there are times when the audience noise emitted from around the taper feels a little harsh, but this recording has almost no such voices or excessive cheers, so even beginners of audience sound sources can listen without feeling stressed. You can enjoy playing. Another characteristic of this sound source is that the bass is powerful, and not only the heavy “DEHUMANIZER” songs, but also songs from Ozzy’s era such as War Pigs and Iron Man have a more powerful and profound impression. Geezer’s solo in the middle of “Time Machine”, Iommi’s solo at the end of War Pigs, and the audience’s chorus conducted by Ronnie are the best listens. Heaven And Hell is where this quality of sound is demonstrated to its fullest.This song has a big sound that takes advantage of the scale of the venue, with rhythms and riffs supported by strong bass. It perfectly matches the grand and solemn song. The quiet part in the middle of the song was so good that I thought it was a well-mixed soundboard recording, and the band’s skillful performance was in perfect harmony with Taper’s excellent recording and the sound making at the venue. It’s a great take. The encore Neon Knights and Paranoid also flowed in while maintaining their good condition, making it one of the best takes among the many audience recording takes during the same year’s tour. “TOWARDS THE END” (Shades 179), which was released a while ago, is a set of three performances in North America with excellent audience recording and video, and it is the definitive version for enjoying the final stage of the tour, but this time. This work, which appears, can be said to be a great sample to understand the first half of the tour, such as the band’s high tension, rare set list, and the heat of the audience’s reaction. A set with the best sound quality and performance content! A highly recommended 4-disc set where you can enjoy high-quality performances from the first half of the “DEHUMANIZER” tour, which was little known until now, with the best sound! !
