This was the Fall Tour opener, which had a hazy jam which matches the locale and autumnal vibe of the west coast tour. It’s one of the most underrated jams of the entire 3.0 era, and a precursor to the nuanced jamming styles of the Fall 2014 Tour. Subscribe to Beyond the Pond.

Black Sabbath on Tapes Archive.Sabbath’s bassist, Geezer Butler, talked in 1992 about his work with Ozzy, his solo career, making the Wayne’s World soundtrack, Black Sabbath’s musical influences and tour, and more. Subscribe to The Tapes Archive.
