Live-Evil

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

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" ("Not Even a Maybe") are by Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal, who also played with the Davis band for his tunes. 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.

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..."

Cover artwork

The album cover was illustrated by artist Mati Klarwein. Klarwein had painted the front cover independently of Davis, but the back cover was painted with a suggestion from Davis:

"I was doing the picture of the pregnant woman for the cover and the day I finished, Miles called me up and said, 'I want a picture of life on one side and evil on the other.' And all he mentioned was a toad. Then next to me was a copy of Time Magazine which had J. Edgar Hoover on the cover, and he just looked like a toad. I told Miles I found the toad.
