Down started at 7.30 sharp and played to a smallish crowd - it was an early start for most concert goers but they were solid and did a great job opening.

At 9.00 Heaven & Hell took the stage and played the standard set list as per other concerts. For one & a half hours we were treated to a brilliant show. Sound was excellent and the band enjoyed themselves as did the adoring crowd of 7000.

Tony was superb, Geezer as solid as ever, Vinne a machine behind the drums and Dio belted out as good as ever given the long our.

It was certainly worth the wait and I only hope Black Sabbath - the original and best do make a final world tour as I would love to see them as well on more time - it has been 30+ years since they were here.
