but here's a link for tickets to the New York showing w/ Rob and Richie
if anyone is.

WOW! <==a proper interjection, DF. That is just too sad. Creepy at the same time. Died from a spider bite?! My house is full of brown recluse and I am well-aware of what damage they can do having both read and seen it in person. Not feeling the bite is typical as is necrosis of the surrounding tissue. DEATH, however, is not.
Yep, just saw the news myself. Came out of nowhere. R.I.P. Jeff [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Thursday, May 02, 2013 5:19:49 PM)

BWHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!! TOO FUNNY!!! LOL!!!!! I've seen him (and a granny making a "bus run") many a time but never made the connection. It is perfect! HAAAAA!
Thanks for posting the extended review as well. Once I get the tears of laughter out of my eyes, I might be able to read it properly.
One local reviewer likened his running about the stage to your grandmother running to catch the bus LMAO!

Been away for a few days cos we headed up to Auckland to watch Black Sabbath! It was their first concert in New Zealand in 40 years, and it was great! Played for just under 2 hours. Opened with War Pigs and the crowd went nuts and sang along. Couldn't understand any of what Ozzy was saying other than 'fuckin' and 'love ya' and 'are you having fun?' LOL! Highlights for me were Faeries Wear Boots and Children of the Grave. They also played two new songs, God is Dead? and another which name escapes me at the mo. The drummer they have on tour, Tommy Clufetos, is insanely talented. Would have preferred Bill Ward but that's bye the bye now. Overall a great gig!

Nice full review, Becks! Good to hear you all had a great time.
Just got home from a weekend away at the first Black Sabbath concert in New Zealand since 1973.
The opening act was a local band named Shihad who I wasn't too fussed on seen as I have seen them live many times. They played a super short set of half an hour. They left the stage at 8pm and we were all settling in for a wait of maybe 45 minutes before BS came on. However a mere 20 minutes later the house lights dimmed and the sirens started up, and the band started to play their opening song, War Pigs, and the curtain that draped the front of the stage lifted.The people milling about buying merch and drinks etc suddenly came rushing in, I don't think anyone expected them on stage so soon! The whole crowd went mad and started to sing along. Ozzy had plenty of energy (for Ozzy) but we couldn't understand much of what he said LOL! The words I made out were 'fuckin' 'love ya' and 'are you having fun?'. While I really wish Bill Ward had been there, the drummer in his stead - Tommy Clufetos - was INSANELY talented and drummed like a monkey on speed. Tony Iommi was excellent as always, and Geezer Butler was great too.
The setlist was great and included two new songs, God is Dead? and End of the Beginning. Highlights for me were Fairies Wear Boots and Children of the Grave. There wasn't much stuffing about, the music came thick and fast and they played for just under two hours. Setlist:
War Pigs
Into The Void
Under The Sun
Snowblind
Electric Funeral
Black Sabbath
Behind The Wall of Sleep
N.I.B.
End of the Beginning
Fairies Wears Boots
Symptom of the Universe
Drum solo
Iron Man
God Is Dead?
Dirty Women
Children of the Grave
Encore: Paranoid
