The heavy sound guardian Geezer Butler and the lyrical storyteller Tony Martin. A multi-camera video work of the "Cross Purposes Tour", in which two members who symbolize opposite ends of the past members stand side by side, is now available. This work was filmed at the “San Jose performance on March 3, 1994.” This is the best audience shot. The biggest attraction of this work is the exquisite visual beauty and multi-camera editing made by maniacs, but first of all, it is the show's position. Speaking of 1994, it is also left in the official video “CROSS PURPOSES LIVE”, and it is known that Bill Ward also returned in the final version. First of all, let's look back at the overall picture of the tour and check the flow at that time. [“CROSS PURPOSES” released on January 31st]・February 8th – March 13th: North America (25 performances)←★Here★・March 21st – 27th: Japan (5 performances)・April 11th -May 28: Europe (34 performances) ← *Official video ・June 11: PROVINSSI ROCK FESTIVAL《Bobby Rondinelli → Bill Ward replaced》・August 27 - September 4: South America (4 performances) [Rare and exquisite multi-camera] This is BLACK SABBATH in 1994. It is memorable that the third performance in Japan was realized, but the San Jose performance of this work was long before those. This concert was the 18th performance of the “North American” leg, which was the beginning of the tour. This work, shot at such a show, features a multi-camera audience, which was rare in the 90s. In the first place, just the Sabbath footage from that time is valuable, but when it comes to multi-camera editing, multiple videos of similar quality are required, and the probability is quite miraculous. but! The quality of this work is so great that it blows away such probability theory. What's most amazing is the spectacular view. It is captured from two diagonal angles: the Geezer side and the Iommi side, but there is no obstruction in either of them. It passes far overhead in the arena seats and looks directly at the stage, and the camera work that boldly approaches is so active and powerful that even one camera is enough. It's true that the degree of close-up of each moment may not be as good as a professional shot, but it's a TV broadcast air check that has a spectacular view with unlimited highlights, the fun of changing the view around and around, a glossy look with almost no dubbing marks, etc. It is a much more complete show than others. And, even more surprising than the visual beauty is the exquisite sound! Actually, four types of recordings have been confirmed from this live show, and the best one is used, but this one is really amazing. In multi-camera editing, if the sound has too much individuality, the field of view changes all the time, creating a sense of discomfort (for example, the image is close but the sound is far away), but in the case of this work, there is no need to worry. Although you can (barely) tell that it is an audience recording in terms of tone, the close contact without distance, the vivid separation, and the beautiful details are just like a soundboard. Even as an audio-only live album, this is a super famous recording that is sure to become one of the best records of the "Cross Purposes Tour." [The true value of “Cross Purposes Tour” that concentrates the essence of SABBATH] What is depicted with such visual beauty and sound is a full show that is similar to the official video “CROSS PURPOSES LIVE” but different. There were three versions of "CROSS PURPOSES LIVE": a "CD version", a "short DVD version" and a "long VHS/DVD version", but here we will compare it with the "VHS/DVD version" which was the longest. Let's sort it out. Ozzy Era (8 songs)・Black Sabbath/The Wizard・Paranoid/Iron Man・Master of Reality: Children Of The Grave/Into The Void・Others: Symptom Of The Universe/Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Ronnie Era (4 songs) ・Heaven & Hell: Children Of The Sea (★) / Neon Knights ・Others: Time Machine / The Mob Rules Martin era (5 songs) ・Headless Cross ・Cross Purpose: I Witness / Psychophobia/Immaculate Deception (★)/Cross Of Thorns *Note: Songs marked with "★" are not available on "CROSS PURPOSES LIVE (long VHS/DVD version)". ...and it looks like this. Two songs that cannot be seen on "CROSS PURPOSES LIVE" are delicious, especially "Immaculate Deception", a rare song only available on this tour. It's a famous song that starts heavy and develops fast, but the heavy part has a tenacity that only Geezer could have, and it's only because of Martin that the soft lyricism never stops. Then, in the chorus, the song suddenly becomes fast, and the combination of the driving feeling and the exhilaration of the melody is something that only Geezer/Martin can achieve. Also, the structure of "Slow → Fast" can be said to be the exact opposite of "I Witness", and the two songs are opposites. Furthermore, the heavy side's iconic song "Psychophobia" roars, and the lyrical side's iconic song "Cross Of Thorns" makes your heart gouge. “CROSS PURPOSES” depicted the duality of “heaviness” and “emotion” through various elements such as performance, personality, and songs, but with “Immaculate Deception”, the balance has been completed. is. And the performance that spells out such a set is wonderful. Iommi & Geezer have a solid sense of stability, but Martin stands out. Speaking of the “Cross Purposes Tour,” it is famous as a tour in which Martin suffered from poor health, and the first half of the “North American” tour has been said to be particularly difficult. But then... The singing voice in this work is both beautiful and powerful. Pro shots and soundboards were all shows that were not good enough, but this work is singing with a beautiful voice that is comparable to “Headless Cross Tour” and “Tyr Tour”. The “Cross Purposes Tour” doesn’t have a good image even though it has all the heavyweights in Sabbath history. However, it was really amazing at a great show. This work is a multi-camera video that allows you to enjoy the full show of such a true talent with the best sound and superb view. This is not only a masterpiece as a piece of music, but also a piece that dramatically raises the value of the "Cross Purposes Tour" itself. The best audience shot of "March 3, 1994 San Jose Performance". This is a multi-camera work created by an overseas enthusiast, and both angles taken from the left and right cameras are spectacular views with no obstructions. Moreover, the camera work that approaches boldly is active and powerful, and the audio is also of transcendental quality just like a sound board. Martin is in good shape, and you can experience not only “Children of the Sea” and “Immaculate Deception” that cannot be seen on “CROSS PURPOSES LIVE”, but also a full show with members and famous songs exclusive to this tour.
