Black Sabbath Live Performance of Cross Purposes at Hammersmith Apollo
In April 1994, Black Sabbath delivered a breathtaking performance at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, shortly after releasing their album 'Cross Purposes.' This album marked a significant moment in their career as it featured vocalist Tony Martin, who brought a fresh sound to the band's iconic heavy metal style. 'Cross Purposes' was notable for its exploration of darker themes and showcased the band's ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. Interestingly, this live recording captures not just the raw energy of the band but also features the orchestral arrangements from 'Supertzar,' which adds a unique dimension to their heavy sound. It was a pivotal period for Black Sabbath, as they navigated through a changing music landscape while still delivering powerful performances that resonated with fans old and new.
