Black Sabbath

On October 25, 1995, Black Sabbath took the stage in Umeå, Sweden, delivering a powerful performance during a pivotal moment in their career. Just a year prior, in 1994, they released the album 'Cross Purposes,' which marked a significant return to form, showcasing a lineup that included legendary vocalist Tony Martin. This live recording stands out not only for the energy of the performance but also as part of the 'Cross Purposes' tour, which was a fresh chapter for the band, revitalizing their classic sound while embracing newer elements. Interestingly, this period highlighted their resilience, as they continued to evolve musically without the original lineup, proving that Sabbath's identity goes beyond its foundational members. The setlist likely included fan favorites like 'Children of the Grave' and 'Neon Knights,' all adding to the electric atmosphere of the evening.
