Collections post first today- I had to go to Costco and have just started digitizing the On This Date video. Video takes about 2x as long as audio to digitize, transfer and denoise, so it’s gonna be a bit.
This concert is somewhat legendary and has been well circulated- it is the one where Dio refused to open for Ozzy Osbourne, so he left Black Sabbath.. again. Sabbath called up Rob Halford to help at the last minute. There is video of this performance on youtube.
What makes this post unique is that this is from a new source- Karl Lundmark was a prolific audio taper of the norcal metal shows in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Him and another one of the bootleg cowboys headed down to southern cal for this one. He had a pro walkman, which was one of the best decks you could find at the time.
There is a lot of crowd noise on the tape, but it still sounds great.
