The most important event of century as far as heavy rock is concerned was when in 1999, the original and best Black Sabbath line up got back together to perform a final Last Supper Re-union tour. To Sabbath fans it was a second coming, and this amazing event had to be recorded and here it is, the original Black Sabbath's first ever live album. This epic album is a double CD, each one containing all the "Classics" and on the 2nd CD 2 new studion tracks, never hard before. The thing that was always going to be difficult for Black Sabbath was to somehow update the old tracks. At the time there was nothing like them and they were loud, bad and absolutely malevolent. Nowadays, with the likes of Metallica and Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath were going to have to find a way of somehow "amplifying" the old songs in order to capture a new audience as well as those who already love them. And they have managed it brilliantly. Every song sounds somehow louder, fuller and more up to date than the still brilliant originals, so now you can be sure of a fantastically ear splitting rendition of "Children of the Grave" and a somehow even better version of "Paranoid". Then there's the classic "iron man" which won best metal act at the grammies in 2000. This album, though slightly expensive is a truly unmissable purchase for any fan, and anyone else wanting to know how heavy metal SHOULD be played should take a look.
