Heaven & Hell/Radio City Music Hall: Live

One of the roadies interviewed in the DVD extras puts it best: Tommy Iommi and Geezer Butler, the guitarist and bassist for Black Sabbath, are the “Thomas Edisons of Heavy Metal.” This excellent live concert is a testament to the power the two can put out in the show, especially when combined with the pounding drumming of Vinny Appice and the vocal growl of Ronnie James Dio. Dont expect to hear any old Sabbath songs; that era is in the past. But the music Heaven and Hell made on their own albums is powerful enough so you won’t miss anything else. The extras, particularly the video of what it takes to get a show this big on the stage in the first place, are a lot of fun.
