"It was good to try that with Ronnie," Iommi reflected in 1997. "[But] we lost millions on it... because of the time we took to record it, and fly backwards and forwards to the States with everything, all the gear; bringing it back; recording here [the UK]... A lot of messing about and a lot of money wasted... If it came to it again now, we could plan it different and it'd be okay, but we had to try that. Originally Cozy was involved, then he wasn't."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Peter|last=Scott|title=Tony Iommi Interview|magazine=Southern Cross (Sabbath [[fanzine]]) #21|date=May 1998|page=38}}</ref>

This incarnation of Sabbath ended when Dio's contract with the band ended several days before the Costa Mesa reunion shows in November 1992. According to Iommi, Dio quit because he was asked to support [[Ozzy Osbourne]]'s final shows at Costa Mesa, referring to Ozzy as a "clown."<ref>Iommi, Tony, with T.J. Lammers.

Halford and Dio were friends (Dio having been impressed with Halford's work ethic on the 'Stars' project) and Halford would only do the Costa Mesa shows with Dio's blessing, which he received when he spoke with Dio by phone. Both shows were unofficially recorded in their entirety and are now widely circulated as audio and video bootlegs.
