Dug up some more info:

More info from Sabbathlive.com :


VG+ audience recording from the ‘Beggars Banquet Dance Festival’, where Black Sabbath
and Yes opened for Three Dog Night! Many bootlegs of this Toronto ’71 tape list the venue
as Stanley Park. David Capitano astutely pointed out that Stanley Park is in Vancouver,
British Columbia! A handbill for this show confirms that the venue was actually ‘Borough Of
York Stadium’.
This is the earliest circulating show from the MASTER OF REALITY era. It includes also
marks the first known live recordings of “Sweet Leaf”, “Embryo” and “Children Of The
Grave”. Aside from the new additions, the set list was the nearly the same as it was for the
spring ‘71 U.S. tour to promote PARANOID, only longer. The running time is nearly 66
minutes.
The tape itself was done very close to the stage. Like many of the audience tapes from the
PARANOID tour, the taper cut all of the raps between each song. There is also a lot of
fumbling with the microphone, which briefly obstructs the sound every now and then. The
good news is that Sabbath was KICKING ASS at this show! Ozzy sounds great on every
song. Bill is grooving and having fun with the songs and you can even hear Geezer for once!
Tony is always the "Iron Man", but is troubled by some tuning problems at the end of "War
Pigs" and during "Black Sabbath". Technical difficulties aside, Iommi is really going for it
during his guitar spot in "Wicked World", which swings nicely during the main verse riffs!
It was during this show that I first noticed the inclusion of an improvisation that I like to
call the “Cornucopia jam”. It’s an oddly syncopated riff that alternates between some low E
chugging and accents on a D chord, much like the verse riff in “Cornucopia”. Sabbath
continued to insert this jam during their live improvisations for years to come.




ANOTHER COMMENT:



THIS DID TAKE PLACE IN THE CITY OF YORK WHICH IS NOW TORONTO.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE AND ATTENEDED THIS SHOW
ROGERS AND WESTON ROAD WAS THE INTERSECTION.
ANY OTHER BANDS FROM THESE SHOWS?
