Finally, the final date of the disbandment tour “THE END” has been announced. X-Day, when the legendary band BLACK SABBATH goes to sleep, is “February 4, 2017.” Forty-eight years and six months after they first appeared on stage as POLKA TULK BLUES BAND in August 1968, they came to an end in their hometown of Birmingham. This week, when such news spread around the world, the best live album from “THE END” has arrived. First, let's take a look at the progress of "THE END". ・January-March 2016: North America leg #1 (18 performances) ・April 2016: Oceania leg (7 performances) ・June-July 2016: Europe leg (18 performances) ←★Now here★・August-September 2016: North American leg #2 (19 performances) November-December 2016: South American leg (7 performances) January-February 2017: UK leg (8 performances)《BLACK SABBATH disbanded 》 This is the whole story of “THE END”. Just because the final performance has been announced doesn't mean the entire schedule has been confirmed (hopefully, we'll be back in Japan!!), but there are currently 77 performances in total. We are currently entering the third part, the ``European leg''. This work is the audience album of the first day of the European leg “June 1, 2016 Budapest performance (Hungary)”. Looking back on the past, the first part, "North American Leg #1", is a sound source abnormal situation with a series of intense ultra-high quality recordings (for those who are about to try it, there are especially "WINNIPEG 2016", "COMPLETE M.S.G. 2016") ). The number of the second part was drastically reduced, and other than "SYDNEY 2016" there were no outstanding high-quality discs. Now, what will happen to Europe, the “home” of BLACK SABBATH? That's why it was attracting attention... Let me start with the conclusion. Judging from this work, which was the first report on the first day, “it even surpassed the abnormal North American leg!!”In fact, the sound of this work is abnormal. Even with the North American leg of masterpieces, the only thing that can be compared to this work is the pinnacle “WINNIPEG 2016”. The thickness of the direct musical tone, the edge of the riff, the rich groove of the bass drum/snare, the sharp sound of the cymbals, etc., are all perfect. Particularly strong is Geezer Butler's bass. It has the elasticity of an extremely thick rubber band, yet is supple and beautiful. The bass sound is so amazing that I don't even remember hearing it. It's rich and warm, different from the metallic feel of "WINNIPEG 2016," yet it feels close to zero distance. The singing spirit of the finest melodious phrases is poured directly into your ears. Amidst this ferocious sound, there are very small conversations (at a level that can only be heard between songs) and handclaps, and a faint sound of loud cheers spreads out in the distance, as if overdubbed. If you listen to it with headphones pressed against your ears, there is certainly the realism of an audience recording, but it almost sounds like the official version... No, it is of such transcendent quality that even the official version will run away barefoot in front of this work. On top of that, BLACK SABBATH is also in great condition. Of course, since it is Ozzy Osbourne, it is impossible to say “overwhelming with perfect singing”, but since it is the first day of restarting the tour, the high notes are extended without fatigue. There are almost no scenes where you feel "Are you okay...!?" which is common in the latter stages of the tour. Furthermore, Tommy Klufetos is now proudly hitting out a groove that is worthy of the golden sign of BLACK SABBATH, and the always impregnable Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are also impregnable in this work. It will make you listen to a wonderful live performance. This is the first night of the European leg. The second half of the European leg is still to come, and the North American leg #2 is also coming up. Report on “THE END”. Again, this work is a transcendent recording comparable to “that” “WINNIPEG 2016”. An unusual piece that appeared again on the first night of Part 3, "European Leg."
