Regarding the Technical Ecstasy tour, Tony Iommi (gitat) in his 2011 memoir entitled "Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven and Hell" said the tour had no large-scale production.

For the Technical Ecstasy tour, we don't have very large productions, just musical equipment, snow engines, and dry ice. No one is luxurious, no one enters through stage or flies from above the ceiling. However, Bill has a brilliant idea to make a large sea shell behind his drum, "said Iommi.

The shell is made of fiberglass and loud, because it projects sound. And every night he also places a lot of fresh flowers around his equipment. It started to get crazier, but the shells were better than the original idea, where he wanted all these tubes around his equipment with running water through him, changing colors. He had all these great ideas. The ideas were great until you tried to make it work: impossible, "he said.
