      I loved Dio. I became a convert in 1976 when he was the first international act I ever saw, playing at the Hordern with Blackmore's Rainbow... and Buffalo as support.

      The major highlight, apart from Dio, was when the disgruntled Rainbow fans trashed several rows of the Hordern Pavilion seating after Ritchie Blackmore refused to return for an encore. He later said it was because he couldn't burn his guitar due to a petrol strike

      After seeing that wanton destruction I decided that this is what I wanted to see more of. The path was then set for me then and there.

      Long live rock'n'roll.

                I loved Sabbath from when my big brother bought that first album when I was a kid. Our six year old loves the cuurent Heaven & Hell album, "The Devil You Know", as we do. He was sad but he said, "Don't worry mum, we can still listen to him in the car." I do a little bit of work in rock'n'roll and was surprised how many people loved Dio this week.
