Black Sabbath call time on their career by releasing their last show
The End is a celebration of Black Sabbath’s final hometown concert at Birmingham’s Genting Arena on 4th February, 2017. This farewell show is out in November in six physical formats, including a five-disc deluxe box set.
The deluxe box set features The End on DVD and blu-ray (both all region), double CD and something called ‘The Angelic Sessions’ on CD which is a bonus ‘intimate’ live session recorded at Angelic Studios days after their final live performance. You also get a 32-page perfect bound book, a metal pin-badge, replica tour laminate and three plectrums. It all comes in a lift-off lid box. If you want to know what all that looks like, check out the image below (click to enlarge).
All visual formats apparently feature footage of the Angelic Sessions, but if you opt for the Blu-ray+CD combo edition it looks like the CD is also the Angelic Sessions, not a ‘highlights’ disc of the show, as you might expect. There is also a CD+DVD version.
You can simply buy standalone blu-ray or DVD and there is also a two-CD edition and 3LP vinyl, which obviously just feature the audio.
