〕 |rev2 = ''Blender'' |rev2score = }} ''Live Evil'' is the first official live album by British heavy metal band Black Sabbath. The previously released ''Live at Last'' (1980) was not sanctioned by the band. ''Live Evil'' peaked at number 37 on the ''Billboard'' Pop Albums chart. ==Recording== The ''Live Evil'' album was recorded on the ''Mob Rules'' tour. The sleeve states that the songs were recorded in Seattle, San Antonio and Dallas during the 1982 tour in support of the ''Mob Rules'' album, but doesn't give the venues or recording dates for the individual tracks. In his autobiography ''Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven & Hell with Black Sabbath'', guitarist Tony Iommi recalls that the band's live show during this period featured "lots of pyro with fire and bombs" and that while playing the Hammersmith Odeon the bombs had been tested and "blew a two-foot-wide hole in the floor on my side. If I'd been there, I would have been blown up. Christ, it was dangerous." Iommi also admits that the band had to cancel a show at Madison Square Garden when the bombs blew out the tubes in all the amps during the first note of the first song "War Pigs". In the liner notes to the 2008 retrospective ''The Rules of Hell'', vocalist Ronnie James Dio remembers, "It was an excellent tour. I think we were probably riding quite high on the ''Heaven and Hell'' success, and so we ended up playing really, really well. Even towards the end the shows were still great." However, tension had been building for some time between the band members, with Steffan Chirazi observing in 2008 that the story behind the creation of ''Live Evil'' is one of "quiet yet savagely visceral turmoil and a band collapsing under their weight of silence, unspoken accusation, and an unforgiving schedule." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Live Evil (Black Sabbath album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
