Black Sabbath

In November 1987, Black Sabbath was in the midst of their 'Eternal Idol' era, having released the album just a year earlier. This period marked a significant transition in their lineup, with Tony Martin taking over lead vocals, showcasing a fresh sound for the band. The live recording of 'Glory Ride' from the Bremen Stadthalle captures their evolving energy, blending classic heavy metal with more melodic elements. Interestingly, this was during a phase when they were still navigating their legacy while attempting to create new music, a juggling act that defined much of the late '80s for them. Fans often felt this lineup brought a unique vibe, blending the raw power of their origins with a more polished approach, which was definitely noticeable in their live performances. It's a testament to how Black Sabbath continued to adapt even decades into their iconic career.
