Our fourth bootleg from the Black Sabbath family tree is from the band themselves. This was recorded for King Biscuit Flower Hour to promote the Sabatage LP. This was the first tour to employ a full time keyboard player to round out the live sound as Sabbath's studio out put was getting more intricate, pushing the boundaries of Heavy Metal.
