NOTES:

The fifth concert of the tour and the first outside the city of Tokyo finds Black Sabbath playing the city of Kyoto. The band sound great, perhaps the forced cancellation of the previous night concert due to the illness of Tony Iommi gave the band some needed rest.

The recording on this set is very good but Mr Peach must have been close to the stage and directly in front of Iommi as his guitar dominates the sound with the rest of the instruments and vocals in the back ground, although the vocals and drums can be faintly heard. After the opening of War Pigs and Neon Knights Ronnie warmly greets Kyoto audience and introduces Geezer Butler and the opening bass lines of N.I.B. can be clearly heard before the guitar totally drowns them out. By now the listener has gotten used to the sound and can appreciate the playing of Tony Iommi.

Again Children of the Sea is dedicated to the people of Kyoto and to Japan. Vinne Appice’s drum solo is a forced highlight of the first disc as he can be clearly enjoyed during the heavy Sweet Leaf. The song Black Sabbath provides a good listening experience as the vocals and drums are more predominantly in the mix before Iommi obliterates them at its conclusion. The second of disc starts out with a very heavy Heaven and Hell, clocking in at close to 17 minutes.

The beginning of the track has Dio and Iommi improvising before the main section begins. It is interesting to hear Iommi’s playing during the middle improvisation part, some of the notes he is playing have a strange sound when not blended in with the rest of the group. Die Young sounds particularly frantic in this recording, fast and aggressive and Paranoid finishes the recording as sole encore.

The Gatefold sleeve is adorned with a scan of the concert ticket, curiously the same on used on the back of the album cover, a hand drawing of the band including Bill Ward. The center has a picture of RJD and a couple of group shots and the ticket front and back as well as the master cassettes. CD 1 has a picture of Ronnie while the second on has a picture of Vinnie Appice.
