Background
[edit]A cross was used in the stage production.[1][2]
"The album is more rockier than we've done before," observed guitarist Tony Iommi, "and the show is far more uptempo that it has been before – and a lot more involved… with stage presentation and effects and stuff like that. We enjoy it, the whole thing – we're very happy with the situation at the moment."[3]
Recordings from the tour spawned the Live Evil album.[4]
Personnel
[edit]- Ronnie James Dio – Vocals
- Tony Iommi – Guitar
- Geezer Butler – Bass
