Format: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.

Format:DVD
I have just bought this dvd and can confirm the other recent review here is correct and that it is not just a 9 track edited concert. The dvd runs for about 1 hour 30 minutes and the actual track listing is:
1. Time Machine (5:08)
2. Children Of The Grave (5:25)
3. I Witness (5:02)
4*. Mob Rules (4:18)
5. Into The Void (6:39)
6*. Anno Mundi (6:17)
7. Black Sabbath (8:12)
8*. Neon Knights (5:35)
9. Psychophobia (3:03)
10. The Wizard (4:42)
11. Cross Of Thorns (4:43)
12. Symptom Of The Universe / Drum Solo (7:31)
13. Headless Cross (5:34)
14. Paranoid (5:13)
15. Iron Man (3:27)
16. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (6:11)
If Tony Martin had a cold as mentioned elsewhere then he still sounds pretty good.
Sound and picture quality are excellent.

Format: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.
