Here is a list of bootlegs from the Born Again tour 83/84. I don't support the people who sell these and I don't know where to buy them so please don't ask. The purpose of this page is to try and list all know recordings so that fans can use this as a source of information. This list is far from complete and probably there are some errors here and there... my goal is to make this list as correct as possible so if you can add information and/or titles you are welcome to contact me. A big THANKS goes to Rob Dwyer at www.sabbathlive.com for helping me with this list.

Comments by Robert Dwyer:
This is the only known complete video from the Born Again tour. The footage was shot by director Lyndsey Clennell for use in the promo videos for "Trashed" and "Zero The Hero". The film that is currently in circulation was done from the back of the Forum and looks more like an audience film than a pro-shot. I believe that this footage was meant to provide the audience perspective for the live shots and was meant to be edited down into short clips anyhow.

But what about the close-up's in the "Trashed" and "Zero The Hero" video? My (Rob's) thought is that this footage is a combination of several different films. One could have been done during a soundcheck, while others scenes could have been filmed at the show. You can do a lot of tricky stuff with editing! Keep in mind also there is currently no known live recordings of "Trashed" and it definitely wasn't performed at the Montreal '83 show. So, it wasn't really as important to use edits and trickery for "Zero The Hero", since it was a song they performed that night. If anyone has the complete "Trashed" video, take a hard look at it and let me know what you think.


October 28. MTV Studios New York City, USA

Comments by Robert Dwyer: Interview with Ian Gillan, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler

Comments by Robert Dwyer: Tony, Geezer, Ian and Bev are interviewed by Felicia Chelvan for this news program. The topic was "Is Black Sabbath involved with Satanism?"



Tony records instructional video for STAR LICKS

Comments by Robert Dwyer: This is a guitar instruction video that Tony did for the Star Licks series. He dissect many of his more common licks, riffs and guitar techniques. He also discusses his equipment and how he has overcome the tragic accident that took off the tops of two of his fingers on his fretting hand.


Night Flight documentary, USA

Comments by Robert Dwyer: Old Beat Club clips and more recent promotional videos are mixed in with 1983 interviews with Ozzy and Tony.

January. Rock Palace, Hollywood, CA, USA

Comments by Robert Dwyer: TV Performance w/Ian Gillan and Bev Bevan; Lip-synched performance! Also includes a neat interview w/Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Date is a guess.
