If Born Again ever gets the super deluxe treatment I hope we get, along with the remix, an official release of the entire Worcester '83 show, it was a radio broadcast of great sound quality. That live version of the eponymous song is insane!
Great call. That would be awesome.
I’m drooling just thinking about it!! I hope soon
🤘
Agreed. I have had a bootleg tape of the Worcester 83 show for years and years, I just ordered a bootleg CD of that show last week.
Can we just get a head start on a petition asking them to leave off Smoke on the Water?
16:38 - I'm the Joe Siegler name dropped in the video. Just a side note. I'm not the official site. My Sabbath site (online since Jul 1995) is a fan site. Sharon's office runs the official Black Sabbath site.
Just FYI...
Sorry Joe! I guess I should have said "the official FAN site". But hey, to me, you are more official than anyone else.
Only reason im happy this is out is were one step closer to finally getting the tony martain box set
Which Tony said is happening at some point from what he said a few months back.
You and me both. Can't wait for that box set! THAT will be the one to get.
As a lifelong Sabbath fan who has *passionately* loved this album since first buying it upon release in December '82 (here in the U.S.), this 4-CD box set is a dream come true for me! The remix is *thunderous* , and it definitely brings a new view of the album, but to me, the remaster of the original mix here also brings a new clarity and sounds *much* better than the original album! The hardcover book is great too.
Just listened for a couple of moments to the remix version and the original version, it really is night and day. I'll look forward to Born again.
I’ll say it again/ all shows on SOT are good, but Chris ALO is like getting the 5️⃣point extra question right for a 1️⃣0️⃣5️⃣ on your examination. Tremendous job. Chris/ Pete 👍💯
u go principal ! & now I know what I'm buying during my early christmas shopping...(joking ..partly)
Thanks Gary, you are too kind!!
Chris Alo is the voice of truth. I would only consider it buying after his review
Chris Alo could sell snow to the Eskimos, he had me hooked to buy this with this review
Mine arrived today and the Remix is outstanding.
Born Again MUST BE NEXT!
I hope you’re right!
Iommi says the masters were found for BA, which is why none of the remasters so far were worth the plastic medium. Mixed masters are a bridge too far for anything a substantial to be worth your time. Studio masters MUST be the source material. 😅
It's great watching Chris like a little boy at Christmas, great stuff, I'm eagerly waiting for Pete's review.
Absolutely. Chris' enthusiasm and passion for his hobby and favorite band are undeniable and great to see.
@@MackeyWilliams I would love to see Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler knock on Chris's door with a Blu Ray edition of Live Evil.
At that point the world would end. 😁
@@gordy3714 would be well deserved. He's a great and loyal fan for many years now.
The remix is definitely worth the price of admission on this one. It's almost as if you are listening to an entirely new album!!!
Absolutely!
Is it superior to the Live Hammersmith 82 release?
@@g-man4744 I think it is, but you might hear it differently.
@@g-man4744 Honestly, it's probably very close. I would need to sit down and do a side by side comparison for a definitive answer.
Love Pete n Chris vids!!!
Man, you guys have badass collections! Makes mine look amateur as hell. lol Awesome that you made Chris a part of this vid Pete, a couple of Sabbath connoisseur's for sure. \m/ \m/
Didn't expect we would be getting a Deluxe Edition version of 'Live Evil'. Last year I thought we would've gotten a 'Dehumanizer' Deluxe Edition like they did with 'H&H" and 'Mob Rules' as 2022 marked the 30th Anniversary.
Holy cow the King got me so excited I broke down and ordered the vinyl version. Chris, Sabbath should have you as promo guy :) I agree with the comment that I would love Born Again to get a remix.
Always loved the original. But I'm sure the new one is insane. I trust Chris
I just reviewed my Live Evil box set today Sat. June 17, and it is Awesome! One of the Best remasters I have ever heard and the remix is Incredible! The Black Sabbath Mob Rules Tour stop in San Diego April 9, 1982, was my first Metal show I went to. So this album is very meaningful to me! I Love this album and this box set is a must have if you love Sabbath and Dio era Sabbath! Just get it you will not be disappointed🤘😎🤘
I know Chris saw my FB review of this. But in case you didn't, Pete, my thoughts are about the same as his. The remix destroys the original, and will be my go-to version moving forward. It's also a nice collectible piece to own, so it's well.worth taking the plunge on it.
Glad to see Chris "dissecting" the new Black Sabbath boxset. I think I will save my money for the Tony Martin boxset (if it ever comes out), unless it's a crappy one with cardboard sleeves.
ALO. 🤘🏼
Live Evil > Speak of the Devil
Goddamn we need that Born Again reissue finally done right.
Great review Chris. I picked this up last week and like Chris said the remix is amazing and the book is great.
Why can't CDs be in a protective sleeve, like vinyl inside the LP cover.
yesssssssssssss...alo has the gloves back out
Fan of Ozzy and Dio. In my opinion Ronnie is WAAAY too melodramatic on the Ozzy songs. Kinda lame, I know that is strong word, but kind of lame in the way that, during Ozzy era, they would play standard tuning songs like War Pigs or Paranoid in C sharp. I know there are guys out there that agree with me. By MOR/V4 they were tuning down, but come on I know by then they weren't millionaires but at least have another rig set up for standard tuning songs. Other than that great box set.
Nothing like Pete and Chris talking Sabbath, cant wait to here the remixes.
The remix is amazing. Best live version of N.I.B!!!! Very happy with the purchase!
Looking forward to getting this now!! Chris great review & I'm definitely pumped to hear this new remix ! 🤘
The Super Deluxe Edition went on No. 45 in Germany.
No kidding? Wow!
Wearing gloves while you handle a box set is next level shit.
But are the gloves latex or nitrile? Next level collectors need to know...
I thought maybe he came from his side gig as a TSA inspector
I’ll be breaking down and buying this one as well. I do need this. ❤
Chris "the surgeon" Alo.
Thanks Chris!
Super video as always !!! Instruments and vocals are clearly audible for the first time in their independence. Just listen to Vinnie Appice's drums solo. Geoff Nichols keyboards also set acoustic accents that could only be guessed at on the original. Geezer Butler's bass and Tony Iommi's guitar are crystal clear and are in no way treated badly. And above all, Ronnie James Dio's singing is enthroned.
I’m supposed to be getting my copy today! I can’t wait!
Great to get a genuine "remix" instead of a "remaster", which I can rarely hear the difference with
I'm sold. Live Evil is also my favorite live album of all time. I still listen to the original.
Hey Chris, I get that it annoys you that the Discs slip out so easy. But I actually prefer that to what they did on that Judas Priest Box for the Double Albums. The Discs sit really fucking tight and the opening shows inwards. It's a bitch getting the Discs out of those. Especially if you don't wanna hurt the Cardsleeves. For the life of me I can't understand why they made so that the opening faces inwards of the sleeve. As annoying is it is that the CDs practically fall out of the Sleeve, I'd rather have this than a case in which it's basically a matter of time before the Sleeve gets damaged.
Thanks Chris & Pete! I love everything Sabbath related.
with the globes! man, that's a pro 🍺🤘
I will have to add this to my collection! Thanks Chris and Pete!!!!
Another great video, Pete. I have all the other Sabbath box sets but I'm reluctant to buy this one because there's no extra material. I hate paying so much money just for a remix, no matter how good it is. I can't wait for the Never Say Die box set, just to see what the extra features are.
Mr. Pardo, You need to get Joe Siegler on your show to discuss all things Sabbath!
I was wondering about Chris’ opinion. He’s Live Evils biggest fan.
I agree the remix sounds better than the remaster, and it's significant. So much so that I also won't bother with the remaster again. That means I really have bought a 2-CD remix disguised as a super deluxe. Another disappointing thing is they've screwed up some Canadian locations in the book's list of concert dates... and, yes, where's the missing video disc. No, I don't regret the purchase but the value certainly does not match the 4 previous deluxe sets.
I never heard the awesome thunder sound just before Tonys solo on Voodoo .That floored me !!!
this was my first "new" black sabbath purchase back in '83 and the production did always bother me. i listened to it a bunch, but I listened to "Speak of the Devil" wayyyy more. this new "Live Evil" mix sounds incredible. it does suck there's no new material, but like alo said, if you love the band, you should probably get this (full disclosure: i haven't heard any of the other remasters, so I have no idea how it compares).
I have my original vinyl as well as the remastered CD that came out about 20 years ago or so. I didn't hear a huge difference between the two. I have now got this boxset....will open it in the coming weeks when I can sit down and really concentrate on it. Looking forward to hearing the remix after all the good things I have heard about it.
@@garyh.238 Hopefully it lives up to the hype
@@independenceltd. Phil on Now Spinning is really impressed with the remix too.
Got mine last week on CD and the remix is amazing!! Love the packaging!!
I agree on the Worcester 83 show.❤
Cheers Chris wasn’t sure whether to get this or not now its a must buy
The talk in the Book about "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules" made me even more sad, that they didn't do those Boxes for these Albums. I've got the 2010ish versions with that Bonus-Stuff. Instead of doing Super Deluxes and put in all of the associated recordings they've done another 2-Disc-Sets with different Bonus-Stuff a year ago or so.
I had my copy before watching this and I agree, the remix is fantastic. Highly recommended!
I still yearn for Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath getting the deluxe treatment
I am sure they are coming in the future.
Great review Pete and “Dr Alo” (kidding aside, I get it, that curse is real)
I’m not the biggest Sabbath fan, makes me think about getting this set.
Chris, that might be a new character for Monsters Den “Dr Alo”. 😂
Thank you both for all you do, makes a difference and huge source of joy for me
You gotta get Chris to start his own UA-cam or do something you have a super mega made for the internet Star with Chris Alo
Nice jobs guys. Waiting for mine to arrive
Good job, Chris
Good video, although I would like to have heard more about about the remastered version as well as the remix.
🌠Good One Guys..I've already bought the Remastered Heaven & Hell & Mob Rules..& both are. REALLY GOOD !
Chris, when speak of the devil and live evil were released did ozzy receive money from live evil and did tony geezer and bill receive money from speak of the devil for songwriting. If so did they both win with these competing releases. Thanks I never miss when your on
Yes, as far as songwriting credits, they all should have received compensation for both live releases.
It’s crazy to me that Pete never got the Dio box of joy diver cause those remixes are amazing and the live performances are unbelievable. Makes me want to get live evil but the price tag is crazy expensive for me only wanting the remixes. Someone said they got a 2 cd version that has the remix but I haven’t found it for sale anywhere if it exists
Holy diver
Holy Diver remix is excellent. Did not disappoint at all! I'm glad I got it as it's prob my 5th version. Beats them all
For me Live Hammersmith from Mob Rules Deluxe will always be the best live album from Sabbath.
Enjoyed that a lot fellas-a worthy investment for sure .King Alo-if I send you my address would you mail me those fetching,blue gloves? Cheers -Geordie Dave (still in Thailand) x
And great Ghoulies shirt
Great review! Nice to see Geezer's book also get a mention. I picked them both up but haven't had a chance to get into them yet. Is it Saturday yet?
I knew Chris would be there for this one! I hope they give Born Again, Masters of Reality, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Never Say Die the deluxe edition treatment sooner than later! I think the remix is light years better than the original mix. I've always preferred Speak of the Devil over Live Evil but, had this remix have been released back then, I may not have had such an easy time coming to that conclusion. I listened to my original Live Evil cassette twice and I gave it away in favor of my Ozzy Speak of the Devil vinyl. It wasn't even close! TYhis new mix is fantastic. Vinnie and Geezer sound amazing! Way more powerful than the original. Ronnie doesn't sound as goofy on the Ozzy songs either. I'm not sure if they used different takes or added something to the mix to make it better but, it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.
There are no plans for any more Super Deluxe Editions for studio albums that I'm aware of.
well they could have done the same thing that Ozzy did with the anniversary box set of diary and blizzard that was released awhile back. I know that in that package you got both vinyl and CDs but they could have made the packaging the same with both. Also i wish as a tribute to RJD they could have included the video that was supposed to be released in 1982.
Great review! I’m sold. did you guys do a review of the technical ecstasy remaster?
I agree, my biggest complaint is there is no video.
Black Sabbath matters
Let me first say my favorite Era of Sabbath was with Ronnie. That said I find it quite interesting how Ronnie could belt out Ozzy Era Sabbath....which I think sounds much better with Ronnie, but Sir Ozzwald couldn't bring himself to sing any Ronnie stuff....I mean fans would love to hear heaven and hell....ozzy trying to sing it would be a joke.
Even the Spotify versions sound amazing. I've never really enjoyed the album due to the muddiness but this is now amazing. Pity the price locally is $152 plus postage for the cd box, and $250 plus postage for the vinyl.
Not sure where you are getting these shipped to. But the CD set cost me $52 US dollars shipped to the US and $80 US dollars, again, shipped to the US.
@@chrisalo2989 Thats retail price in Australia
@@Metla666 Ahhh, okay, I gotcha. Well, I hope they get an actual release then in Australia, so you don't have to pay those crazy import prices.
Sorry to say. The Remix by Wyn Davis is fine and nice, but was butchered by Chris Gehringer Mastering. Is was compressed and limited do death, NO dynamic range, just a thick/block of squashed sonic bomb to headache and ear fatigue. Such a shame.
(Dynamic range compression (DRC) or simply compression is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds, thus reducing or compressing an audio signal's dynamic range.)
Listen to "Children of the Sea" as example. The track begins with Ronnie vocals VERY loud and when all the band enter, all sound small, reduced, chushed and constrict. No impact. No dynamic at all.
Thanks for the review of the remix.
Gorgeous cover - easily my favorite from Sabbath, and I am so glad they fixed that horrible "Special Thanks" for Vinny Appice and misnaming Ronnie Dio. Could have been worse - they could have credited Ronnie with his real name if they really wanted to piss him off LOL. I remember an ancient interview (in Hit Parader, or one of those rags) where Ronnie was ranting about Geoff Nichols getting higher billing than poor Vinny. "My dog can play better keyboards than Geoff" or some such outrage from Ronnie LOL
The original version of live evil sounds terrible, I guess the only possible reason it's Chris's favourite all time live album is because it's from the mob rules tour, his favourite Sabbath studio album.
Alright.... I wasn't gunna get it, but now I will.
While I liked Live Evil when it first came out, the mix was flawed. This remix is the bomb. Sounds great now! Chris needs better lighting though.
I have always HATED the bad sound on the original "Live Evil" LP - thanks to too much interpersonel fightings and to much white powder in the controlroom - so when the first remaster came I bought it right away - but man was I disapointed! And then several times a new remaster came out - and of cause I bought in the hope a revalation - bot still NO. BUT NOW - I´m just so happy about the new mix, this is how it should have been in the first place 40 years ago :-) Its SOOOO Goood
handled with latex gloves - sure sign of a true collector.
I disagree on the original production of Heaven and Hell. I think it was mixed in such a way to suit the playing style of Bill Ward. Mob Rules could be stretched out in the fashion that it was because of the Bonhamesque style of Vinny Appice.
Greasy Hands Alo, now that's rockstar or wrestling name.
You know you're a big fan when gloves are required to touch the new Sabbath purchase 🤣👍
When it comes to CDs, you still can't beat a jewel case. They're certainly not perfect, but..........
I'm glad they finally remix "Live Evil." The original mix was terrible. It has always sounded like a badly recorded bootleg. I wouldn't mind getting the super deluxe edition. Iommi should do the same treatment for "Born Again."
Hmm when do the Tony Martin reissued albums come out?
Hopefully never, it was at best a former shadow of Sabbath & Martin dug the grave & finished them off in 95, Martin era was a complete disaster & embarrassment & should be left in the grave.
@@mickblack3291 totally agree! don't need that era
I've been a sabbath fan for 40 years but Geezer called this album Live In The Studio Evil.
Time to get a remix of Born Again..I'll probably be dead before that sees the light of day.
Great video! I think the remix is great. But the remaster is nothing special. I think the original vinyl sounds much better than that. Take care!
Ok, you convinced me. Amazon, here I come.
I'm not interested in getting this. No songs that are different from the original tracklisting. No Falling Off The Edge of the World, no Die Young, no Sign of the Southern Cross in full, not even Country Girl. Shit I'd take Snowblind, Sweet Leaf or Fairies Wear Boots!
But those songs were NOT performed on this part of the tour. And Sabbath NEVER peformed "Snowblind", "Sweet Leaf", "Die Young" or "Fairies Wear Boots" on the Mob Rules tour.
Speaking of, I loved the version of Country Girl from the Hammersmith CD. Wow. 😮. Too bad they never got an official version of Lady Evil, but the bootleg of the Japan soundboard is pretty great.
Got this Live Evil CD boxset a couple of weeks ago. Have yet to crack it open....am waiting for a special occasion! Looking forward to hearing the remix, and reading the 2 books inside.
I actually did not expect this to be one of the re-issues
Same!! I'm still so surprised!
yes, where is the gd video?
I've only heard the 2 disk version. CD1 is the remaster and I personally think it sounds horrible. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the remix, which to me makes the set worth it.
Chris needs two more copies that need to be sealed to preserve the 2023 air
I've thought about it!!
Hi Chris The Black Sabbath Dio Years book is it the deluxe version specially bound?
Only asking because of the price.
I preordered when it was available direct from Rufus ,the publisher ,release date was delayed, paid in instalments arrived on time, but didn't realise that i had already ordered a copy 😂and had paid in full was during pandemic lol.
The weight of the damned thing would have cost a fortune to send back lol.
Ah well 2 is better than one lol
Cost here in UK £100 each.
Take care
Jonathan
Hmmm, what do you mean by specially bound? Let me know what to look for. I can check when I get home tonight.
@Chris Alo Sorry Chris, Rufus made some limited editions signed by Geezer, Tony,Vinny and Wendy which sold out b4 printed .
This edtion was leather bound.
Sorry for any confusion
@@747jono No, that's okay, no worries. Now I know what to look for. I believe this is signed. I will look for the leather binding.
I got in late last night, but I will check later today.
Very interesting, does this sound better than the Hammersmith and Portland shows??
I love both of those releases too, but the Portland show had a very keyboard heavy mix. This might be better than Hammersmith, I would REALLY need to compare those two.
@@chrisalo2989 wow, now you have me intrigued, I was not interested in this box before this video but if it sounds better then Hammersmith 82 this must be stellar as it's maybe my favourite Dio Sabbath live release (with Radio City Music Hall).
Video is Black & Blue. (Sabb & BOC)....saw at a midnight show back in the day. Heaven & Hell would sound incredible with a remix....album is great but not the sound.
I already own Black & Blue on VHS, Laser Disc, DVD and 35mm film. Black and Blue was shot during the 1980 Heaven and Hell tour. Live Evil was recorded during the 1982 Mob Rules tour.
@@chrisalo2989 Oh man....ur right, I always forget that's from 1980....good catch, sorry
@@26scootinkitten19 That's okay, no worries.
8 @26scootinkitten19 Black and Blue movie was filmed by a Canadian film company that demanded a arm and leg to aquire the rights to the film . After the death of Ronnie James Dio all discussions stopped out of respect to Ronnie James Dio the same with the film company that owns Live Evil.
I have this but haven't listened to it yet. I have heard that the remix is an improvement but it's mastered like shit, close to distorting in some spots, at least on the CDs.
I got mine for only 50
I want the set but it doesn’t make sense to get 2 of the same thing. I would have rather had a remix of the live album and one of the full unreleased live shows. Including a remaster makes no sense at all.
Not sure of we needed a remaster of a bad mix, then a remix that adds in fake applause. The Portland 82 is much better IMHO.
