I remember it well...my first gig I think.

That lineup though. :eek:

Mamas Boys were good, got the crowd going.
Anvil were very good, raised things up a notch.
Diamond Head didn't show up but no-one cared because Lemmy introduced Twisted Sister who ripped the place apart and were the best band of the day.
Motorhead were LOUD, unbelievably so but it wasn't a classic Motorhead performance.
They didn't play their best known songs and the tensions with Brian Robertson were beginning to show.
Sabbath were....ok.
They were under-rehearsed, Gillan had song lyrics taped to the stage and couldn't see or sing them any time there was dry ice.
They also encored with 'Smoke On The Water' which was just wrong.
Still, I have good memories of the day as it my first gig.
I think I was around 16 or 17 then and I'm still rockin' today (as long as there is comfortable seating, ample parking and adjacent bar & toilet facilities:pac:)
Last 2 gigs were Rainbow in Birmingham and Bad Company in Dublin \m/

Yeah Twisted F'n Sister what an absolute belter of a live act pity I only twigged this when I caught them in the summer so my first time seeing them was also my last

and to make up for it we got the Amazing Sweet Savage. remember they were not particually good and the crowd were not the loudest for them

Nothing could be done about why Heaven & Hell cancelled but MCD should of brought over a big name band with the 2010 UK Sonisphere festival (Maiden headlined the final night the sunday after Dublin). A lot of bands on the below poster could of served as a better support band than Sweet Savage

Of course they should have given us a decent support band but that was never gonna happen, if ticket sales were slow then yes but it sold out, why should they bother, just ring sweet savage, offer them the gig in return for 500quid and a few packets of tayto and they've saved themselves thousands.

Sweet Savage were shite first time around, they were never gonna be any better second time around 25+yrs later

Myself and the young lad are heading along, he's 13 going on 23 and just about mastered the Paranoid intro on his guitar. It's probably the only chance he is going to have to see these guys in the flesh so it's tee-shirts at the ready, looking forward to the gig.

Wrongway1985

Hand of Doom has not appeared back in the set however ye'll be pleased to know they did play one more song than the U.S. dates which was...

Under the Sun

D.Q

Just got a standing ticket on TM. Must have released more.

it probably won't change at all, last thing they wanna do is a song change mid tour, Ozzy doesn't even know what day of the week it is or what country he's in half the time, swapping the set list around would fcuk him up good :pac::pac:

The fact that's he's alive and in good health is a miracle

BTW he is going back solo in the summer and will headline the Chicago Open Air Festival on Sunday 16 July. So he might visit our shores in 2018 or beyond. In fairness to him some of his solo stuff rocks and his bands have had some top quality musicians down though the years like Randy Rhodes, Zach Wylde, Robert Trullio, Tommy Aldrige, Jason Newstead to name a few

D.Q

Think it's pretty much the same set list as the last two downloads I saw them at. Couldn't not hear Tony iommi play that into the void riff one last time

Looking forward to this. Have a Dio-era shirt at the ready.

it would be cool to meet the band but its way too much money to pay

The price for the soundcheck upgrade is ok but prob still worth it unless drink the place dry at the drinks reception and the band acknowledge you at the soundcheck lol

The Nal

Anyone who pays for that is a cúnt

rubadub

2 DJs on nova were taking the piss out of the price last night. Forget what he said in the end "for 2 grand I'd expect.._____.."

slavetothegrind

it's not sold out, no surprise with the ticket prices over the gouging line...

Ol' Donie

Are there standing tickets anywhere?

PTH2009

Entrance 3 seemed quite enough

dasdog

Hand of Doom and Fairies (Skinheads) wear boots made that worth going to. Legged it when the rock drum solo went on a bit.

Liam McPoyle

While Ozzy was out of tune for a couple of tracks (given his vocal style, his age and the miles on the clock that's more than understandable) that was one of the most thoroughly enjoyable gig experiences I've ever had.

It exceeded all of my expectations and I am giving serious consideration to trying to get a ticket for one of their UK shows.

Just brilliant.

I'd agree on the solo, but I reckon the lads were taking a break.

Sabbath were outrageous tonight. Children of the grave was the highlight of the night.

Mrs Shuttleworth

Incredible night and great crowd. Was sitting beside a 5 year old with her very wily mom.

Ozzy may not be able to speak but he sure can f**king sing.
