Live At Last is a live album by Black Sabbath. Despite its wide distribution, it was released without any permission or knowledge from the band, and is thus considered "unofficial". The recording was compiled from two March 1973 bootlegs, first released in 1980, the release arranged by former manager Patrick Meehan, and re-released by Castle Records in 1996. However, the band eventually came to approve the recording, and released the whole album as part of the two disc live compilation Past Lives in 2002. The recording is still noted for its early pre-album version of "Killing Yourself to Live", and the long "Wicked World" medley jam. Live At Last was also significant in that its initial release in 1980 prompted Black Sabbath to finally record their own approved live album, 1983's Live Evil with Ronnie James Dio.
