Almost brilliant,
This review is from: Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes - Live [1994] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video is so close to brilliance it hurts. The set-list is great including material from Black Sabbath all the way through to Cross Purposes even including a track from Dehumanizer! The band (Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler & Bobby Rondinelli) are on top form but unfortunately Tony Martin was suffering from flu at the time so his singing is not up to his usual standard. However with rarely heard gems like Anno Mundi and Symptom Of The Universe in the set along with classics like War Pigs and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath you can't complain.The sound on the video is great and it comes with a CD as well, all in all an essential purchase for any fan of post-ozzy Sabbath.

Cross Purposes Live,
By Azz McMahon (NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes - Live [1994] [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A cash cow released by IRS records back in 1995, Cross Purposes Live is now highly sought after by die hard fans and collectors - the line up which recorded it was already split up by then, and it was released not long before Forbidden came out.Long deleted in it's original form - and a bootleg dvd derived from it (stick with the vid if you can find it as the dvd truncates half the show) - Cross Purposes Live is not an unwelcome album. The setlist in itself is terrific, covering a large chunk of the band's history, including a few surprise songs, but this album was far from perfect. Tony Martin was ill - and it shows, the frontman struggling for notes he would have made in his sleep during the Headless Cross tour back in '89. The band behind him is tight and sounds great (especially Geezer and Tony, but what's new?) but the live sound was horribly polished though - hardly any menace in the songs - even "Black Sabbath" didn't have it's usual menacing gravitas - and it's the fault of the mix, not the band. Also cool for being the only official live album to feature Anno Mundi (which isn't on the cd sadly), Headless Cross and The Wizard. Martin also plays harmonica on the Wizard as well - a real treat for Sabbath fans who had followed the band since the beginning. Ultimately, a nice collectible if you can get it - but nothing more.

great value,
By failed music critic (england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes Live (DVD)
i cant argue with the other reviewer, but my dvd turned up with the same cover as shown above with only 9 tracks listed on the back (again as above) but was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be the whole concert! its been copied from a the video release but is still more than watchable, just don't expect blu-ray standard!i bought out of curiosity for seeing this era of Sabbath live i watched with a work college who actually saw them on the mob rules tour and he didn't know alot about Tony Martin either. We both were really surprised at how good it was! they play a great mixed set, cant remember exactly how long it is but its at least 90 mins. whatever people say bout tony martin, i can say when he played live with Sabbath you got the whole catalogue, here you get songs from ozzy, dio era as well as his own and its surprising how well on these the songs mix. no one can argue ozzy was the definitive singer but tony is far from crap and does the job well alot of people right off this period of sabbath but this concert was filmed at the hammersmith odion (now the appollo) which is a fairly sized venue that most biggest selling artists play today - so someone bought the tickets! if your curious i recommend this, get over its not ozzy singing and you'll enjoy tony for who he is here. if you can get a copy for under a tenner i well recommend this dvd! and check out the cross purposes album
