Bootleg states "recorded live in 1983 during the U.S.A. tour," which is wrong.
The Salt Lake City tracks are from the same gig that was officially released as the "Bark at the Moon" live video/DVD. A couple of tracks from this show were also used as live b-sides for the various versions of the "So Tired" EP (and possibly other EPs). I'm not sure what source material was used, as all the profanity in the stage banter has been censored. Sound quality is excellent, but Ozzy's vocals are actually not very high in the mix.
Track 7 appears to be the unaltered recording--without overdubs or edits--of the song that was doctored and appeared on the official "Tribute" live album. It's evident why they had to fix it--Ozzy botches the vocals! For the last 2 lines of the first verse, Ozzy mostly sings the last 2 lines of the second verse, and then he sings the last verse of the song in place of the second verse. I did a quick comparison and otherwise the only big difference I noticed is that the "Tribute" version also adds some extra stage banter during the song (an extra "oh yeah" or two or something to that effect).
The last verse of "Iron Man" is not performed.
Although the Salt Lake City tracks have been rearranged from their original setlist order and track 7 is from an entirely different show, there are no obvious breaks or edits, as the song edit points are concealed by crowd noise.
