Black Sabbath - Tony Iommi

Real rock band. Iommi had to switch playing from right hand to left when he lost the tips of his fingers in an accident at work. Saw them on their Sabbath Bloody Sabbath tour, Newcastle Odeon I think. Marvellous. Started with War Pigs and it never let up from the off.

Apparently they didn't start with War Pigs. Brown Ale and 17 year olds.
 
Sabbath were one of a handful of bands that changed the face of music - The Beatles, Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, all these bands emerged in the sixties and all were British 👍🏻 - they all influenced countless other bands over the years

Don't forget Purple, Funky. Fantastic band with Jon Lord's heavy keyboards making for a unique sound.
 
Saw them in 73 at Newcastle as well. Nazareth supported and outshone them. They didn't get the sound right, went for extra loud and lost quality with it.

Blackmore hit the spot with Smoke on the Water but a lot of it was a struggle.

They were renowned as a very loud band. Unfortunately never saw them but saw Rainbow a couple of times. Did & Bonnet.
 
They were indeed, didn't work at City Hall that night.

Funnily enough, had R6 on tonight and Space Truckin' was played, haven't heard it in years.
