Worcester (c-enEn-worcester, is a city and county town of Worcestershire in the West Midlands of England. Worcester is situated some 30 mi (48.3 km) southwest of Birmingham and 29 mi (46.7 km) north of Gloucester, and has an approximate population of 94,000 people. The River Severn runs through the middle of the city, overlooked by the twelfth-century Worcester Cathedral. The site of the final battle of the Civil War, Worcester was where Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army defeated King Charles II's Cavaliers, resulting in the English Interregnum, the ten year period during which England and Wales became a republic. Worcester was the home of Royal Worcester Porcelain and the birthplace of the composer Sir Edward Elgar. It also houses the Lea and Perrins factory where the traditional Worcestershire Sauce is made.

"Paranoid", live at Worcester, MA on 11/4/1983 with Ian Gillan. Gillan does a pretty good job, just a couple minor lyrical flubs, but he's totally redeemed when Iommi goes into the most killer solo I've ever heard him play for this song. Of course, they end with the "Heaven and Hell (reprise)", which I've always liked. Just a really good performance. Enjoy!
