If by this point you have developed a jones for Saccharine Trust's post-hardcore semi-improvisatory jazz-rock, then this CD -- over an hour of live recordings covering a period of eight years -- should find a place in your collection. For a vault-clearing compilation, there is very little bullsh*t and lots of inspired bashing and wailing, making this a great purchase for lovers of the arcane and far-out. At its best, Past Lives is astonishing, a hint of how good, warts and all, this band could be. ~ John Dougan, All Music Guide

Past Lives is a live album released in 2002 by Black Sabbath. It peaked at number 114 on the Billboard 200. [1] The first disc was previously known as Live at Last, an album not put out by Black Sabbath's record company, and therefore not an official Black Sabbath album. The second consists of recordings made for television and radio, previously only available on bootlegs.
Tracks CD1: 1-9 were recorded at the Hardrock in Manchester, England on Mar 11, 1973 and at the Rainbow Theatre in London, England on Mar 16, 1973. It is not known which tracks came from which of these two concerts.
Tracks CD2: 2-4 were recorded at Asbury Park Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey - Aug 6, 1975. The whole concert was recorded by King Biscuit and this was originally to be the release, titled "Live In '75" when mentioned in several magazine articles giving advance notice, before it became Past Lives.
It was released as a digipak and later a standard jewel-case.
