The Tony Show

Queensryche was great. They played a 45-50 minute set that included a good mix of the old and new. It would have been nice if they played longer but it wasn't bad for an opening act. We even saw Mike Stone greeting fans at the exit on the way out.
Heaven and hell sounded great but I only knew two of the songs they played. I figured they would play a mix of Sabbath and Dio songs. Unfortunately, they only played Dio era Sabbath songs, no Ozzy era Sabbath or Dio solo stuff. That was very disappointing but I did like what I heard. Dio looked like a frail little old man and it was hilarious watching him prance around on stage. Not exactly the intimidating stage presence I had imagined.
The star of the show, to me anyway, had to be Tony Iommi. I was awed by his competence and the apparent ease with which he was able to create an amazing sound. I imagined that, in the event of his head being separated from his body, what remained would continue playing unperturbed. I have a new god and his name is Tony.
