Cross Purposes – Live
Cross Purposes Live is Black Sabbath's concert release from the tour supporting their 1994 studio album Cross Purposes. It came out in March 1995 on I.R.S. Records as a boxed set, pairing a CD with a VHS tape of the show, which was filmed at the Hammersmith Apollo in London on 13 April 1994. The CD sat in its own jewel case inside an oversized videotape box.
It is the only live album the band made with singer Tony Martin, which gives it a particular place in the Sabbath story. The tour also brought back The Wizard, a song the band had not played since early 1971, when Ozzy Osbourne was still on vocals. Both the original CD and tape are now out of print, so this one is a bit of a hunt for collectors.
