Black Sabbath is one of the very few bands that I actually like to listen to live. They're just great. I can only imagine how fun going to one of these shows must have been.
If you see this album/cd in the store do NOT buy it. It was made without their permission and they receive no royalties from it. Not to mention the quality of the audio is worse than a 5th generation tape copy. Pick up Past Lives instead. It includes Live at Last (and remixed at that) plus another cd of classic Sabbath highlighting some great songs on their Sabotage tour.
Right, to put things straight, as there's obviously some mistakes in some of these comments, this actual recording of Cornucopia was made in March 1973.
The original of course from Vol4 in 1972.
Live At Last was released in 1980 to coincide with the band's newly found popularity. Albeit with new singer Ronnie James Dio. And without the band's permission.
@myownservant I read somewhere that Bill Ward actually struggled to get this one down when they were recording it in the studio. He definitely nailed it in the end though!

This is my favorite song from Vol. 4. The lyrics are as good as the music!
