Black Sabbath

In the live recording of "Born To Lose" from November 30, 1986, Black Sabbath showcased a pivotal moment during their 'Eternal Idol Tour.' This was a time when the band was navigating their sound post-Ozzy Osbourne, with Tony Martin stepping in as the new vocalist. The album "The Eternal Idol" had been released just prior in 1987, marking a significant evolution in their musical landscape. Interestingly, this era represented a deeper dive into theatrical elements and lyrical complexity, blending the heavy metal roots with a more polished style. The band was working hard to regain their footing and please both old fans and new listeners, making performances like this one crucial to reinvigorating their legacy. It's pretty remarkable how they continued to adapt and push boundaries even after so many lineup changes.
