I put up a personal page yesterday as a good dumping ground for my tunes, and just to have a personal presence.

Heaven and Hell was sick last night. The set looked like a Gothic castle, with stone steps, and pillars, and engraved crosses, and cathedral windows. They did a few cheesy things with video projections, but the show looked exactly like it should. What a great job designing the stage!
The band sounded incredible. Geezer is a complete animal acting both as the foundation and as a second melodic instrument for Iommi to play against. The power and magic that is created when they play together is truly rare. Vinny Appice was good too. He's kind of a poor man's Cozy Powell. He got the job done, but there were very few "wow" moments from him. Dio's voice started out rocky, but once he got in the groove he sounded as incredible as ever.
Amazing how after 15 years they were able to just pick right up where they left off. The new songs are incredible. Long live Black Sabbath! Long live Heaven and Hell!
Protectors of the Realm, indeed.
