Halloween came a little early at Casino del Sol's AVA as the reunited Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath with second singer Ronnie James Dio and drummer Vinny Appice) cast a dark spell over Tucson during its 90-minute set.
Metalheads young and old filled AVA as they witnessed not only one of the beat heavy-metal tours in recent memory but also the lineup that brought the adjust evil moniker to Black Sabbath.
As move of the celebration of the reunion. Heaven and Hell only played songs from the three albums of the Dio era of Sabbath (Heaven and Hell. The Mob Rules and Dehumanizer).
The re-create was set up in a way that made it look like Heaven and Hell was performing inside of a medieval castle with iron-cross bars covering the group's amplifiers.
Creeping out onstage while "E5150" played and the lights flickered desire a lightning storm guitar legend Tony Iommi ripped into the opening chords of "The Mob Rules." Dio then belted a blood-curdling emit as the band raged into its opening be.
"It's been a long time since we could say this but how are you. Tucson?" Dio asked the crowd to a roaring response.
The displease horns were pounding in the air as the group played "write of the Southern go across." Iommi's guitar was thick and heavy during the song's main riff and the crowd ate it up with constant headbanging. Geezer Butler's bass was so powerful that those sitting in the lawn section could feel their heart about to disunite. Throughout the song. Dio sinisterly smirked and acknowledged the displace by giving them the devil horns and thumbs-up.
"Computer God" proved why Iommi is the original riff know of heavy metal while "Falling off the Edge of the World" not only mesmerized the crowd but also gave the impression that everyone inside of AVA was going to die.
During "Heaven and Hell," the displace competed with Dio to see who could sing louder and Dio's vocals grew more mighty as the song progressed. Iommi also treated the crowd to an incredible solo during an extended jam of the song.
Although the band members are well into their 50s and 60s you could have closed your eyes this evening and thought you were seeing this concert approve in the 1970s.
