Comments from sabbathlive.com:

VG audience recording. There are some cuts between songs, so it's hard to tell whether or not this is the complete show. "Iron Man" and "Cornucopia" are missing, so these were either dropped from the set list or not recorded. Also, there is no "Sometimes I'm Happy" jam during "Wicked World". The speed correct running time of this tape is approximately 54 minutes. Shorter versions may simply have a faster playback speed, as I've found on a few versions.

Taper's Notes: "This is one of the first shows I recorded. It was the third or the fourth after the Rolling Stones in Milano, of which I have the tape somewhere... I've traded this tape several times in those years, so it may have reached you in form of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. generation recording or bootleg or CDR. It is also likely that you got the tapes recorded from some other fellows that night (the room was
plenty of tapers...). So I just offer my (copy of the) master version that, obviously, you cannot have."

Max Robinson (from Italy): "Regarding the Italian shows of 1973 in Brescia and Vicenza, one of the shows after the 1st song(Snowblind) and just after Ozzy's announcement for "Sweet Leaf", you can hear 2 guys shouting for "Paranoid". This one should be Brescia. The other of course is Vicenza. You talk about the warmth of the Italian fans during Tony Iommi's guitar solo. It all comes because of course Italians do admire guitarists but most of all because Tony has always been considered "Italian" by Italian fans. He probably does not even realize how deep their devotion is for him. Judging by his name and his looks his father should be from the south of Italy, I assume from Naples or around that area."

Reviewed by Guillaume Roos: "Good audience recording with tape hiss, a few drop outs plus several cuts and fade outs between songs. I guess we're once again confronted with some primitive editing."

"This was Black Sabbath's second show in Italy. The PA system seems to be in better shape than for the previous show. In the beginning, the guitar is pretty much drowning out everything and Ozzy's voice sounds very far away. The vocals are fixed by the end of "Snowblind", but the guitar is still very prominent in the mix. Geezer's bass can barely be heard."
"Concerning the performance itself, it is certainly as good as the Bologna gig. The guys might not be as imaginative during the improvisational sections ("Sometimes I'm Happy" is not performed), but they're delivering a way much more energetic show in Brescia. They definitely sound like they're having fun."

"The highlights on this recording include a brilliant early rendition of "Killing Yourself To Live". It's really heavy and powerful thanks to Bill Ward (who does an amazing job here) and a great blues guitar solo by Tony Iommi."
