The two greatest metal bands of the 70's perform on the same stage in the "Black and Blue" tour of 1980. Although fans have been tantalized with revoked promises of a US DVD release, this recording has thus far only been released in Japan. I don't know how my girlfriend managed to get me a copy, but it was a great gift.
Blue Oyster Cult performs material off their critically acclaimed "Cultosaurus Erectus" album, while Black Sabbath, fronted by Ronnie James Dio, supports "Heaven and Hell," their first and best release after firing Ozzy. The bands switch off every three songs or so.
The recording starts off with a hokey but fun music video of BOC's "Here's Johnny (The Marshall Plan)," featuring Don Kirschner. Sabb's set includes forgotten greats like "Neon Nights" and "Heaven and Hell." BOC delights with cult hit "Godzilla," aided by the ugliest smoke-spewing paper-mache monster I've ever seen.
The lighting is a bit dim and the camera is none-too-creative, but nothing compares to watching guitarists Tony Iommi and Buck Dharma take turns slugging it out. Also, seeing Ronnie James Dio sing Ozzy's songs is a rare treat.
