Favourite Black Sabbath Live Album?

[Charger]

Well as I am listening to Live At Hammersmith I started pondering about all the live albums from Sabbath and what is my favourite...

This isn't as easy as one might think...

So instead of picking one let's pick 3. And then lets see if there is one that rises on top.


Also please feel free to comment your top 3 choices here.

Okay so my first 2 were easy as pie..

1. Radio City Music Hall Live
2. Live At Hammersmith Odeon

But the third one was a bit of a struggle between Cross Purposes Live and Reunion...both feature brilliant preformances from the band and great setlists...

However I do believe the edge goes to Reunion...slightly...mainly because Cross Purposes Live (the cd) does NOT feature the full show... This should change once the DE's come out. But will that change my vote...probably not as Reunion is pretty much flawless, and Ozzy was in very good shape vocally...And like we all know Tony Martin was suffering from a cold during the recording of CP-L...

So

3. Reunion

Radio City Music Hall Live will always be my favourite...the preformance and setlists are amazing...and eventhough Ronnie was bit ill during the show he still manages to belt out one hell of a preformance. And the band was having the time of their lives! It was all laughter and smiles...incredible.

Live At Hammersmith Odeon is another gem. The setlist is far superior to the stripped down set of Live Evil and the sound is much better as well...much tighter in everyway.

Shit, I voted for 1 before I read your opening post Charge. I voted for Past Lives but would have also voted for Reunion and Hammersmith.

Live At Last
Live Evil
Hammersmith Odeon

[AnnoMundi]

I just wanted to make a mention that I hold Cross Purposes Live in high regards, it would come in 4th place.

Damn...that sucks. I so wish that it would be possible to remove single votes but I can't...the only option is to restart the whole poll...

1- Radio City Music Hall
2- Reunion
3- Live at Hammersmith Odeon

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I went with:

Live Evil
Hammersmith
Wacken

but I think I should have gone with Radio City instead of Wacken.

Restart it Charger, I’d like to do mine over.

[Jack the Stripper]

Went with Past Lives, Reunion and Wacken. Was hard to leave Hammersmith out but I just love Wacken so dam much I couldn't leave it out.

I must be in the minority that favours Wacken over Radio City.

Wacken is great but what really bugs me with that one are the guitar overdubs...they were totally unnecessary...that was a bit of a lapse of judgement on Tony's part.

No, don't go that far. It was my own stupid mistake.

[Ted Sallis]

It was kind of tough narrowing it down to just 3 choices but I did it:

1. Reunion - I quite admire the song selection on this one.
2. Past Lives - I really like the 3 periods it covers in the Ozzy Era: 1970, 1973 and 1975.
3. Live At Hammersmith Odeon - it nudged out Live Evil to be my 3rd choice but I really consider both albums to be about equal.

Votes are going pretty much the way I expected them to...

Although I am bit surprised at the votes Live Evil has gotten...I remember back in the other place that album was quite hated.

Also I am not at all surprised that neither of the post 2011 reunion albums haven't gotten a single vote.
