Past Lives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Past Lives is a live album released in 2002 by Black Sabbath. The first disc was previously known as Live at Last, an album not put out by Black Sabbath’s record company, and therefore not an official Black Sabbath album. The second consists of recordings made for television and radio, previously only available on bootlegs.

Tracks CD1: 1-9 were recorded at the Hardrock in Manchester, England on Mar 11, 1973 and at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England on Mar 16, 1973. It is not known which tracks came from which of these two concerts.

Tracks CD2: 1, 5-9 were recorded at the Olympia Theatre in Paris, France - Dec 20, 1970.

Tracks CD2: 2-4 were recorded at Asbury Park Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey - Aug 6, 1975. The whole concert was recorded by King Biscuit and this was originally to be the release, titled “Live In ‘75” when mentioned in several magazine articles giving advance notice, before it became “Past Lives”.

It was released as a digipak and later a standard jewel-case.
