Live at Last Irish Pressing 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, 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 bands former manager Patrick Meehan who owned the rights to the recording.The album was re-released with the approval of the band on 27 September 2010 After firing manager Patrick Meehan in the late 1970s, Black Sabbath became embroiled in a long legal dispute with their former management.Later, in 1980, Meehan arranged the reissue of the Black Sabbath catlogue and the release on the NEMS label of a live album of old recordings without the bands consent. The album consisted of a 1973 concert recording the band intended to use for a live album, but shelved indefinitely after being unhappy with the recording. The performance contains an early pre-Sabbath Bloody Sabbath version of the song Killing Yourself to Live, as well as a long jam centered around the track Wicked World from the bands 1970 debut album. The release of Live at Last, combined with Ozzy Osbournes 1982 release of a live album consisting entirely of Black Sabbath songs, prompted Black Sabbath to release their first official live album, 1982s Live Evil
