Hi there!
I enclose two other reviews from my Sabbath's concerts in Milan.
1 October 1990
venue: Rolling Stone
Yes, it was the 1st of October (and not the 3rd), and the place was
the Rolling Stone.
It was the first concert I attended in my life, me and my friends
were already great Black Sabbath fans and we were really excited.
The place was far from being sold out, the band wasn't the original
line up, but we were in the first row and got mad anyway! We got
bored with the opening act, impatient to see our heroes, then "Supertzar"
came and it all started and we enjoyed it a lot; we loved everyone
in the band, especially Tony and Cozy. We couldn't believe that the
great Tony Iommi was playing and doing horns signs a few metres from
us! We left still excited and happy, hoping to have the
opportunity to see the real Sabbath one day...it took eight long
years, but it finally happened.
24 May 1994
venue: City Square
I must say that we had great expectations about this show because we
knew that there was Geezer on bass!, so it was a bit like reaching
slowly the original line up! I can't remember Godspeed, while we
were good Cathedral fans too, mainly because they reminded us the
original Black Sabbath: they played a Sabbath tune too (I can't
remember which one), and they were evil and great. I admit that I
wished Lee Dorian (Cathedral's singer) would have sung for Sabbath
that night; not that I didn't like Tony Martin's voice, but Lee had
much more the look and that seventies attitude... As I said, we were
really excited about seeing half of the original line up, and we
have been more than satisfied with a great show featuring a lot of
very welcome surprises like SBS, Into the void, Symptom, etc...
Still waiting for the other two boys to come.
I have written these lines always using the plural because a great
thing about Black Sabbath was that they introduced a bunch of
"normal" italian boys like us to listening and playing music (and we
still do!), to hard rock, long hair and rebellion. Thanks guys!
