Live AT Maple Leaf Gardens Toronto Canada 19th November 1981.
Play sample :
Another rare live at the beginning of the 1981 “MOB RULES” tour is reprinted! A complete recording of the Maple Reef Garden performance in Toronto, Canada on November 19th, the fourth performance since the start of the tour (the second of the confirmed sound sources after the first day), with high-quality audience recording. The work became a big topic mainly for enthusiastic SABBATH fans, and immediately after it was released three years ago, it was evaluated as a standard sound source at the beginning of the “MOB RULES” tour. This work, which clearly depicts the pattern of the live performance at that time, is a must-listen title for SABBATH fans, along with “TURN UP THE MOB TOUR” which recorded the first day of the tour!
This work uses the highest available master directly, so the freshness and clearness of the sound are perfect, and an excellent S / N ratio is achieved. Although it is a slightly distant audience recording overall, the separation of each part is quite a level at that time, and each member’s play can be heard firmly with a well-proportioned sound. In terms of sound quality, it is easier to listen to than “TURN UP THE MOB TOUR”, and you should be able to listen to the entire show without feeling tired or stressed. Of course, the pitch that the former master was interested in was just adjusted, and the tight play will remind the listener of the awesomeness of Ronnie SABBATH.
Since the 1980 tour had a drummer change during the tour, there was also a view of “Triumvirate” centered on Ronnie Tony Geezer, but after that tour and recording Vinny Appice also blended into the band. is. This “MOB RULES” tour is exactly the tour that completed the iron-walled lineup that will lead to the later HEAVEN AND HELL. The live that quickly rises at the opening “Neon Knights” makes you feel the color of the ’80s, and it seems that you are proclaiming the arrival of a new era. Of course, the heavy performance that seems to be SABBATH is consistently full-scale listening, and in Ronnie’s interpretation of “NIB” and “Black Sabbath”, the competition between songs grows more dramatic and melodious. I’m letting you. Also, “Turn Up The Night”, which was not re-performed until it was featured at the High Voltage Festival in 2010, was on-sound in “Falling Off The Edge Of The World”, which was the last performance of the 1980s. The recorded Ronnie’s vocals give it even more brilliance and persuasiveness, making it the first point that attracts everyone’s ears. “Heaven And Hell” and “Paranoid”, whose patterns were broken on the first day, were also modified to be arranged according to the shape of “LIVE EVIL”, and it seems that “the necessary things are in the place where they should be”. You can enjoy it with a natural composition. For about 100 minutes until the dramatic “Children Of The Grave” concludes, all aspects of the show will continue to overwhelm the listener!
The sound source of this day has existed as a famous material among collectors and traders for a long time, but there is no evidence that it was itemized in Japan other than this work, and for fans who can not even want to trade, “I want to listen” But I can’t listen to it. ” The revival of this work, which fulfilled the wishes of many fans to “listen”, will once again inform many fans of the fun of the early stages of the “MOB RULES” tour. Of course, it’s fun to listen to it as a single item, but this work will be even more valuable if you listen to it together with “TURN UP THE MOB TOUR” on the first day. If you haven’t heard both, or if you only have one, don’t miss this opportunity!

November 15, 1981, Canada-The fourth day of the promotional tour of the album “MOB RULES” that started in Quebec, 19th-A tape recording of the stage in Toronto with multiple good sound quality audience recordings. Mixed CD-R. With the worldwide success of the album “HEAVEN AND HELL”, SABBATH has completely escaped from the curse of Ozzy Osbourne, and only toured with “MOB RULES” recorded and released. The fans’ expectations were also high. When “Neon Knights” is played from “E5150” of the opening S.E., the cheers of the audience will spring up. On the tour of “HEAVEN AND HELL”, I played “War Pigs” at the opening, and it seemed that I was conscious of SABBATH in the 70’s, but by playing “Neon Knights”, I played “Neon Knights” in the 80’s. The color of SABBATH is brilliantly launched. “Turn Up The Night” played on the 4th song is the opening number of “MOB RULES”, but it disappeared at the beginning of the tour probably because it did not fit the stage, and it was replaced by “Country Girl”. It will be a valuable live take because it is there. “Voodoo”, which is played on the 6th song, also disappears temporarily, so it may be that the band wasn’t playing well, or that it felt strange to play. “Falling Off The Edge Of The World”, which is played in the middle stage, is a very valuable take that has been played only twice on the first day of the tour and on this day. Since it is the beginning of the tour, the stage itself is not very complete, let alone the set list, but you can enjoy creating the stage by groping, including valuable songs.
