Notes from DVD Author: Awesome performance from the end of the US leg of the Cross Purposes tour. This is probably my favorite tour from the non-Ozzy, non-Dio eras, as the setlist is an excellent overview of their entire songbook, including songs from the very underrated Cross Purposes album, which featured the (brief) return of Geezer Butler.
I was not aware of their being multiple angles; I had a fairly high gen VHS tape of the center angle that I had purchased on eBay, and was expecting the same when I bought several dozen (!) original VHS tapes from Gary's Black Sabbath website back in 2004. I was surprised to find a different angle; Gary had this listed as the 2nd gen. About a year later, Ron/Damage Inc. lent me his 1st gen copy of the center angle that he obtained directly from the taper (which I extracted to .avi for future use), and a year or so after that, I decided to take a crack at doing an edit. I was delighted to find that the tapes were largely compatible, and was able to quickly compile a very watchable, almost professional quality version of this classic show.
The performance is very high energy and the crowd is very into it; there's a very active mosh pit that develops at the front of the stage and goes on for much of the show. Someone in the crowd also holds up a large crucifix, which really adds atmosphere to the film. Both angles are largely without obstruction and quite clear, considering their age. For any fans of this particular era of the band, this is the best amateur/audience representation and is a must have.
