How was it Chippy? - and did you go to Holland specifically for the gig?
It was great, however Counting Crows weren't on this bill. I misunderstood. However they did do the song they sang with them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzQtEk9CzCA
I pretty much did go just for the concert, but I lived in Holland for 3 years so visited some friends and tried to sort out a financial problem. Enjoyed a little visit to the red light district too. I love the Netherlands. Best organised country in the world.
Lately I have reverted to some of my mid to late 70's rock albums,in particular "Rising" by Rainbow.It stands the test of time for me.A bit pompous/Spinal Tap at times,but some good stuff on there,"Stargazer" is still a great track!!!

Must admit Man On A Silver Mountain is my fave. Rock Onnnnnnn!

Dio and Blackmore. What a pairing. Loved that album. Especially love when the full orchestra chimes in towards the end of Stargazer - hairs on back of neck moment. And Blackmore's minor harmonic scale for the solo - Christ, the first time I heard those notes I just sat there thinking "What the fuck is he playing??!!"
Awesome.
Actually been listening to my old Sabs albums alot lately. Volume 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath contain basically every heavy metal riff used for the next 20 years by every heavy metal band!
