>Oh Yeah! I remember them cancelling so many shows because he was sick and we were freaked because we thought they'd cancel in MN. Thank god, I thought it was a good show.

That happened either just before or after the Pittsburgh show.

I never studyied his drumming style, so you are probably right, he might have been a little off in PGH, but it was impressive nonetheless

>As far as best tracks, the first album is one of the coolest, 20 minute blues Jams (yes plural) and spotlight guitar solos are my type of Rock and Roll
I agree, it is very blues, and I also agree that the first album is one of the coolest. I have always been a fan of Sabotage (probably because I never owned it, and so I didn't hear it nearly as often)

BTW the 13th is the 30th anniversary of the release of Black Sabbath, saw it on a site that I went to a little while ago--you have me all interested in Sabbath again. I may go out an buy Masters of Reality (I never had that one either, but I have We Sold Our Soul, so I have some of it, but I want to hear Into the Void. I really liked how it sounded live.
