    I was on the fence, but you've convinced me to give this concert a pass. I saw Ozzy w/Sabbath a few years back at Ozzfest, so I'll wait for them next year.

    I don't any regrets that I attended but overall, it was a disappointment.

    Considering how old they are, the bootleg I heard sounded pretty damn good. I can agree that the set list was rather dull but I think they may have been limited by the Ozzy camp and Megadeth's set looked rather boring as well.To say that any material from Dehumanizer is second rate comes across as ignorant,again, when they are considerably old for the metal game. Actually, name a band that is at that same age that can rock like them?? I know you can't...

    I personally would like to see the Gods of Metal line-up over here anyday than that useless band "Down".

    The Cream reunion DVD has some pretty great moments from some old-ish geezers who might've had something to do with the development of metal.

    Speaking of Cream, I saw Eric Clapton a few days ago,last week Wednesday. Needless to say, Clapton was stunning on guitar, the best guitarist who I have had the pleasure of seeing. And that's not meant to demean anyone else.

    Though I can agree that Cream's DVD was rather good for a Bunch O'Old Dudes, I highly doubt that they influenced Black Sabbath in any way. AND, I'm pretty sure that the current line-up for Heaven & Hell would probably blow the doors off of that train. Toni Iommi hardly gets the credit he deserves as a ripping axeman.

    Once and for all, Dehumanizer was the best reunion style CD that Black Sabbath has offered up in over a decade! Probably as close as you could get to Mob Rules without sounding pretentious and still better than any reincarnation that that sloppy f*ck Ozzy ever put together.

    Personally, I don't believe that album got the recognition it deserves because they didn't shove it down people's throats like f*ckhead Ozzy does with all of his boring shite!!

    "I highly doubt that they influenced Black Sabbath in any way."

    Really? From a 2001 interview, Geezer Butler "The one bass player that influenced me was Jack Bruce from Cream."

    i wouldn't let this review stop you from seeing the Dio Sabbath. i don't mean that triniman is wrong, it's just that it's worth seeing Dio belt this stuff out live.

    I don't know. I saw him a few years back between Maiden and Motorhead, and was very underwhelmed by RJD.

    hmmm, maybe he just hasn't aged well. i mean, i saw him on the Heaven & Hell tour...which certainly was a long time ago.

    I had no problem with Dio's vocal performance. It's the choice of material that made the show less exciting that it could have been.

    I have no regrets that I attended the show. If you a fan of Black Sabbath, how could you not go? And at $60, it was easily half the price of most shows that play at the MTS Centre and was one quarter the price of seeing The Who and Crosby Stills Nash and Young.
