Black Sabbath

In October 1983, Black Sabbath performed live at the Forum de Montréal, showcasing the band's unique heavy metal blend, particularly evident during this era. Just before this performance, they released the album 'Born Again' (1983), which featured Ian Gillan of Deep Purple fame on vocals. This was a significant shift for the band, as it marked their first studio album in a few years and introduced a different sonic texture and lyrical depth to their music. The Montreal concert is a hotbed of energy and showcases the band's iconic sound while highlighting Gillan’s powerful vocals. Interestingly, this era was marked by a turbulent lineup and various lineup changes, which made tours like the one in Montreal particularly exhilarating for fans eager to witness a unique chapter of Black Sabbath's storied journey.
