Saw them back when I was in jr high downtown cincy I think it was in 80 or 81. Still have the tshirt though I cant fit into anymore. My kids wore it though. BOC was also there.
Sabbath was regularly played when I was in high school. I saw them live much later at the Palace of Auburn Hills [Detroit] in 1998 for their Reunion Tour.
One of my favs from the Dio lineup Mob Rules album...
Wild Flower is a great song. My favorite from the Electric album was Love Removal Machine. I used to always get the dj to play it at The Sports Pad in downtown Greenville back in the day.
Their next album, Sonic Temple, has my favorite album cover of all time, and makes a great poster.
I always loved that album's Edie (Ciao Baby), even before I knew what it was about. It's based on the model and actress, Edie Sedgwick, whose life was screwed up by Andy Warhol, ultimately leading to her death.
Bob Dylan, who never liked Warhol, tried to warn her off from him. His song, Like a Rolling Stone, is thought to be, at least in part, based on her. Like a Rolling Stone is considered by many to be the quintessential rock song. His cynical views turned poetry were nothing like the pop music and love songs filling the airwaves in 1965.
