There is also a Black Sabbath album called Live Evil.

Live-Evil is an album by Miles Davis, part of which was recorded live at The Cellar Door on December 19, 1970, and part of which was recorded in Columbia's Studio B, with different personnel on February 6, June 3, 4, 1970. Though all compositions were originally credited to Miles Davis, the studio recordings "Little Church" ("Igrejinha") and "Nem um talvez" (a misspelling of "Nenhum talvez") are by Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal, who played on the record. Davis had originally intended the album to be a spiritual successor to Bitches Brew, but this idea was abandoned when it became obvious that Live-Evil was "something completely different.[1]

[edit] Mission: Music

The end of Innamorata appears to consist of a tape edit, terminating the band's performance, and introducing a segue of the band jamming. Then, appears Conrad Roberts:

"Inamorata, mission: music, masculinity, master of the art... music. Who is this music that which description may never justify? Can the ocean be described? Fathomless music, body of all that is, lived everlastingly... Man initiate inamorata, your music are tomorrow's unknown known life. I love tomorrow..."
