Oh my. You sparked a memory.


I think it was 1978. I was a Co-op student at VT. Geology major working a quarter on, quarter off with TVA. Working in Hartsville, TN at the never got online largest nuclear plant in the world cluster.... Had tickets to see Black Sabbath on a Friday night in Nashville. Typical Ozzie couldn't make the concert. I think it was one of the few times he was legitimately sick and not too hung over or stoned to perform. Anyway, they rescheduled for Sunday afternoon. The back up band was awesome, had never heard of them before that day. They opened with Eruption and led right into You Really Got Me. They simply played their first album. I was awestruck. Went out immediately and bought the album. Still have it.

Black Sabbath? They sucked that day. No War Pigs, no Iron Man, no nothing.
