4K UHD Releases From Black Sabbath & Eric Clapton Out In September

 

Mercury Studios will unveil, for the first time on September 13, 2024, the 4K UHD releases of Black Sabbath's The End and Eric Clapton's Slowhand At 70 – Live at the Royal Albert Hall.

The End formerly released on November 17, 2017, on DVD and Blu-ray, captured the final destination of that adventure – an unforgettable farewell show at the Genting Arena in Black Sabbath’s hometown of Birmingham. Filmed February 4, 2017, The End showcases the legendary line-up celebrating their storied career, marking the closure of a monumental chapter in rock history.

With a hit packed set list including "Iron Man," "Paranoid," "War Pigs," and many more, the high production values, visual effects and pyrotechnics wowed fans, as the band delivered the most emotionally charged show of their lives.

The 4K UHD includes the bonus feature The Angelic Sessions, an in-studio look at the band playing a selection of their favorite songs not played on tour. These intimate live sessions at Angelic Studios were recorded in the days after their final live performance, and mark the band’s final studio recordings.

The End captures a once-in-a-career performance, an essential snapshot of musical history, and a fitting farewell to true innovators and original heavy metal icons, Black Sabbath.

Slowhand At 70-Live At The Royal Albert Hall was previously released on multiple formats including DVD and Blu-ray on November 13, 2015.

This special landmark release, celebrating Eric Clapton’s 70th birthday at his favorite venue, includes career defining tracks like "Cocaine," "I Shot The Sheriff," "Layla," "Wonderful Tonight," "Crossroads," "Tears In Heaven," "Hoochie Coochie Man," and more.

Following his 70th birthday in March of 2015, Clapton performed his 200th concert at London’s famous Royal Albert Hall in May, 50 years after his first performance there with The Yardbirds. Clapton’s seven-night run at the venue was acclaimed by critics and adored by the fans. The setlist blended vintage blues tracks and Clapton classics from across his storied career.
