Live Evil is a controversial Black Sabbath live album because it features Ronnie James Dio rather than the iconic Ozzy Osborne. It also has Carmen Appice rather than Bill Ward on drums.
I’m sceptical about this album and as I admitted in my review of Reunion, I’m not a huge Black Sabbath fan.

While the Dio version of Black Sabbath has its attractions and he is a great vocalist, it requires an open mind to listen to the early classic heavy metal songs without Ozzy.

What Do You Think About Black Sabbath Live Evil?
Please let me know by leaving a comment below.
I’ve included it in two of my artist polls:
Best Black Sabbath live albums
Loading ...Ronnie James Dio was such a distinctive singer that I can imagine he attracts people to this album who aren’t normally fans of Black Sabbath. To recognise his contribution to rock with Sabbath, Rainbow and his own band Dio, I have created his own specialist poll.

Loading ...What Are The Best Live Albums Ever?
To help find the best live albums, I use readers polls.
Loading ...Because there are so many great hard rock and heavy metal live albums I have split the poll into two and you may find some of your favourites in the second division. Albums will be promoted when they get enough votes.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.If You Like This…
If you like Black Sabbath I think you’ll like AC/DC, Blue Oyster Cult, Deep Purple, Rush and Thin Lizzy.
