Black Sabbath w/ Ozzy Osbourne Chicago International Amphitheater Aug. 23th 1978

This was one of those shows that you counted down the days and hours, you know...
when shows really meant something in advance. Ozzy was his usual bombed self.
This was not the most magical recording, but a great capture of the last Ozzy/Sabbath tour.
I was dead center main floor in a ideal spot. There is a few second gap where
I accidentally shut of the microphone and turn it on. After this show, I always used 
black electrical tape over this switch. I used a second cassette for the last song
that was very short. I remember not being happy with this, so I took this last song
and split it into both channels and recorded it on the first tape master where there
was room. I made a new cassette for myself and used it for another show. 

I should have recorded Van Halen, but did not...sigh!

PC drive.....Plextor UltraPlex40max CDR-ROM SCSI W/adaptec 2930
EAC (1.8X ripping speed or slower on all my uploads)>FLAC>YOU GUYS, Enjoy RB

All my uploads are exactly as the master...RAW! This includes all
if any...gaps, cut songs, pops and bad tracking. But if I were you,
don't let this discourage you to download.

This was recorded one channel on a stereo recorder. Please listen one time through
as if it was in stereo. I guarantee a listen with a more subtle musical information.
It may not be as loud as in two channels, but there also won't be any phase cancellations
either. 



**DO NOT CHANGE THESE CD'S IN....ANYWAY....EXCEPT FOR...YOUR... USE!**
