HEAVEN AND HELL IN SEATTLE 8/8

I wrote this little live review a while and thought it was crap but i have decided to put it up anyway.This was the third time i have seen Heaven And Hell live and this was as good as any performance i have seen but much better than when i saw this line-up on the Dehumanizer Tour.They were tight back then but they seem to be even more precise these days.Dio was in great form as usual,how this guy maintains his voice after all these years is a mystery,he lacks the high notes these days preferring to keep his voice to the lower tones but no one is more professional that RJD.Iommi and Butler were thunderous,loud enough to be powerful but clear enough to hear every single note played.Appice was solid but not mind-blowing and he did his usual cheeseball drum solo.Set-List was good but would have prefer "Wishing Well" thrown in there somewhere,its bizarre to me that this song never makes it into the set.They did a annoying teaser version of "Country Girl",why they didn't play the whole song makes no sense to me.The newer songs sounded awesome live and blended in well with the old classics.The set-list seemed a bit short though,the whole gig was over before i knew what was happening but i was really enjoying myself.You know the old saying about "time flies when your having fun". A pretty new cool/evil stage setup with twin gargoyles on each corner of the stage, some electrical globes being held up by these claws, new animation during the songs, bringing a lot of portions of the Live Evil cover art to life.I couldn't help but think when leaving the show how these old dudes are still blowing away most younger bands after all these years,seeing them live is almost like a lesson in how hard rock music should be played.
