Past Lives is a live album released in 2002 by Black Sabbath. It peaked at number 114 on the Billboard 200.[3] The first disc was previously known as Live at Last, an album not put out by Black Sabbath's record company, and therefore not an official Black Sabbath album. The second consists of recordings made for television and radio, previously only available on bootlegs. It was released as a digipak and later a standard jewel-case.
