Vol. 4 was Black Sabbath’s fourth genre-defining classic in a row and ranks as one of the group’s most successful and popular records. It was the first album to have all the trappings of rock n roll success from the ambitious recording process to the LA parties and on the road excess. The world tour captured here demonstrates the band at the height of their powers and is a monumental testament to four working class lads who spawned the heavy metal genre and thousands of bands to come.
