The power behind this show is astounding.  It makes you realize what a (sorry to say this) museum act they became shortly after their late 90's reunion.  A few of their shows early into the reunion were solid (I was at a  handful myself and heard some others), but they still don't compare to this one. Also, unlike their reunion shows, they have an unmatched rawness here.  It sounds like Iommi is playing a meat grinder.  Will you soon be posting the early Fillmore East shows?

And though these particular Sabbath shows are available via "other means", nothing comes close to Concert Vault in terms of quality and ease of access.  Nice! It's also sorta funny that this music is now "free", as I spent most of my hard-earned-teenage-job money on bootlegs of these shows in the 80's.  Sigh.

Some of the songs were Officially released on the "Black Sabbath : Past Lives" cd Disc 2. I have a remastered bootleg that sounds just as good as the vault version.

Why is SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE not on there? Its on Past Lives.

Who knows, but its also missing Snow Blind, which is a shame because it really is an amazing version.

I was there too.  This show was actually at Convention Hall not the Casino Arena which was just down the boardwalk.  It certainly was loud in there . . . . I managed to squeeze up close to the stage since it was a general admission free for all on the floor . . . .it took 3 days for my hearing to come back . . .
