Notes: BLACK SABBATH - "California Nightmare" [Gardener Remaster] DATE : 02/23/71 VENUE : The Forum, Inglewood, USA SETLIST : Tune Up Paranoid NIB War Pigs Black Sabbath Iron Man Wicked World Fairies Wear Boots Unknown song [cuts] LINE-UP : Ozzy Osbourne - vocals Tony Iommi - Guitar Geezer Butler - bass Bill Ward - drums NOTES : Every versions of this show I had heard so far (most certainly sourced from the "Inglewood 71" bootleg CDR) shared the same flaws, which is to say they played ridiculously fast, were pretty hissy, muddy and had numerous volume fluctuations. I tried to fix these flaws and here is the result. This remaster deserves a VG rating, with only a thin layer of tape phasing. For the technical details lovers, here's what I did : - As I said, the speed was too high, so I rectified the pitch 1,5 semitones lower, bringing the total running time from 47 minutes to 52. - The left channel mainly contained the vocals and the drums, while the guitar and the bass were mainly on the right. So I EQed the two channels separately in order to clean the hiss and the saturated bass without altering the sound of each element. - Normalisation of the whole recording at 95% - Fixing of the volume fluctuations. - Removal of some cuts and new track splitting. Now, performance wise, this is a very good performance from the "Paranoid" era, really powerful and energetic. Sabbath had not reached the maestria they will gain during the "Master Of Reality" tour, but I don't think they ever were as raw and wild as they were during the "Black Sabbath" and "Paranoid" tours. One very interesting thing about this particular recording is the 19 seconds track at the very end which seems to be the beginning of a second encore after "Fairies Wear Boots". Unfortunately the tape cuts during the leading riff, so we only get to hear Ozzy cheering the crowd over the beginning of the song. If anyone guesses what this song is please tell me because I couldn't recognise it. It definitely sounds familiar, but I couldn't name it. Maybe a Beatles song ? Anyway, enjoy this great testimony of Black Sabbath in their prime. ARTWORK INCLUDED.

Notes: "California Nightmare" [Gardener Remaster]. Another crappy sounding Sabbath boot. All the remastering in the world can't save this recording.
