Live at Last is a 1980 live album by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath. Despite its wide distribution and success (it peaked at No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart[2]), the album was released without the permission or knowledge of the band, and is thus regarded in some quarters as an unofficial bootleg live album. The album was, however, released legally by the band`s former manager Patrick Meehan who owned the rights to the recording.[3] It was re-released officially, with the approval of the band, on September 2, 2002 (in the US) as disc 1 of the two-disc Past Lives set.[4]

The nature of the album`s initial release as being without the band`s approval is demonstrated by a notoriously embarrassing goof in the original version, which falsely credited the singer as `Ossie Osbourne`.[1]

Background
After dismissing manager Patrick Meehan in the late 1970s, Black Sabbath became embroiled in a long legal dispute with their former management.[3] Later, in 1980, Meehan arranged the reissue of the entire Black Sabbath catalogue, and the release of a live album of old recordings, all on the NEMS label without the band`s consent. The live album consisted of 1973 concert recordings the band intended to use for a live album, but shelved indefinitely after being unhappy with the recording.[3]

The release of Live at Last, combined with the 1982 release of Ozzy Osbourne`s Speak of the Devil live album consisting entirely of Black Sabbath songs, prompted Black Sabbath to release their first official live album, 1982`s Live Evil.[5]

Recording
During the band`s Volume 4 tour, the concerts held on 11 March 1973 at the Hardrock Concert Theatre in Manchester, and 16 March 1973 at the Rainbow Theatre in London, were recorded for use in a planned live album release, but the project was ultimately scrapped despite its plans being already promoted in UK newspaper articles. Despite the liner notes of a 1996 reissue of Live at Last stating the Manchester concert was held at the Free Trade Hall, this is easily proven incorrect when referencing historical documentation such as tour listings and ticket stubs.
