Sydney 11271980 has without a doubt the best version of Heaven and Hell I have ever heard The mix is crushingevery instrument can be heard clearly and the atmosphere created here cannot be matched This is even more amazing considering Vinny Appice has been in the band about 3 months and Geezer is playing with a broken finger
This version is also famous in Sabbathlore because during the middle of the song Sabbath lights a cross on fire It was a gimmick to mock Rev Fred Nile who demonized Sabbath in the press prior to their Australian Tour Dio mentions him in the second part of the song It sucks that I had to break it up into two pieces but this was simply too good not to post
If you like this song and you like the Sydney rendition of Paranoid that I posted back in February then you might want to consider downloading this at wwwGuitars101com I posted the whole show at that locationand its completely free I dont even think you have to register
Anyway enjoy the song
