Yeah that's about the first time I saw them Live as well. Think it was in 74 or 75

not a huge fan, just think it was the thing to do back then.

That's when Ozzie was in Rehab ?? or something like that
They booted him out right when Never Say Die was released. Dio reunited with the rest of the band later on and they were named Heaven and Hell. Sharon fought for the Black Sabbath name.

Is Ronnie James Dio still alive?

I would have liked to see this tour about 10 years ago....those dudes are too fucked up and old now to sound anything like they used to. I'd love to go just to see the crowd.

It would be nice for them to go out with Drummer Bill Ward along on the Final Tour. I hope that this can happen. Doesn't sound like it is going to though. Without knowing anything about the conflicts that kept Bill off the last tour they did its my hope that the years of estrangement between the group & their coming back together and the success that has seen would make them consider that Bill's presence is something they perhaps owe to their fans, many of which would like to see them wrap things up with The Original Line-Up in tact and disagreements at least temporarily overcome, put to the side so that this can happen.

Whatever comes to pass, Thanks Guys.
