Just a few more sleeps to the Sabbath gig…
To date, I have never seen Black Sabbath live–Heaven and Hell notwithstanding.

Even the most grizzled tour dogs usually avoid going nationwide in our frozen home and native land, but with its members now well into their sixties the quintet stopped down in my current hometown, Hamilton ON, for an early week show on Monday, February 13th that was nearly halfway through their Canadian only tour.”
