Heaven & Hell: An I for
Ronnie. Time Warner Cable Amphitheater At
Description
In this case the best I can do is add the taper’s notes:
At long last, Dio back with
Sabbath! Well, not according to the billing, but whatever the name chosen for
this lineup, we know who it REALLY is. Anyway, what a GREAT
performance. Unfortunately, "Ear In The
Wall" and "Lonely Is The Word" were long gone by the time the
group came to the States, but no matter. What they did play was well worth the
fifteen year wait. Almost two hours of Dio-era
Sabbath! The crowd overall was pretty enthusiastic and Ronnie seemed to reflect
that in his performance.
The name of this show comes from a small mistake Dio made. During the keyboard intro for "I",
Ronnie tells the crowd that next was "The Sign Of
The Southern Cross". Oops! Tony goes over to tell him, um, no, it's not. Dio apparently had a different set list than the rest of
the band as he showed Tony. He then apologized to the crowd, and then
introduced the correct song. A rare mistake from a long time professional!
Three minor glitches unfortunately. I accidentally hit
a button during "Falling Of The Edge Of The World"
and screwed up the audio for about two seconds around 3:41, so I cut that part
out. There's a slight "hiccup" at 14:24 in "Heaven And Hell", but fortunately not too distracting. The
little click at the beginning of "Neon Knights" was in the source,
but I'm not sure how it got there. My apologies for these.
Other than that, the show turned out pretty well for the equipment that I had.
And before anyone asks, YES, I recorded Megadeth and Machine Head as well. Once I get several seeds
running I will make those available as well. Enjoy!
