Orlando show!!

[PureEvel]

Just in from the orlando show and all I can say is oh my fuckin god!!!! This was the awesomest show I have ever seen! I'm not really into Queensrych but they did put on a good show and I was impressed. Then came Cooper, who I have seen many times and although tonights setlist was smaller then I've seen in the past it was a hell of a show. I think it's the most into the audience that I've ever seen him! I loved the dead babies bit, hadn't seen that before!

Then came H&H and from the moment they hit the stage I was enthralled! I don't know what to say except - Amazing! They were tight! I am still in awe of the drum solo. Also if you guys remember I was the one who said maybe they should cut that extended version of Heaven and Hell and give us a couple more songs. I was wrong, I now understand! There is a reason for it and I loved it!!!

The setlist was the same as its been I believe:

E5150
Mob Rules
Children of the Sea
I
The Sign of the Southern Cross
Voodoo
Vinny drum solo
Computer God
Falling off the Edge of the World
Die Young
Heaven and Hell

Encore:
Neon Knights

Thanks guys, it was a hell of a show!

I'll have pics up on my page in a day or so after I get back home and I'll come give a link.

Well I didnt have a watch on but the tickets said 6:30 and doors were supposed to open an hour ahead but they didnt, it was more like 7:30 before the show started. My little bro said it was over around 11:30.

If I was closer I'd take that front row ticket off your hands! I have decided I want to see them another time on this tour but have to figure out the logistics of it.

By the way congrats on winning your tix!

Hey everyone, i was at the Orlando show as well, and Purevel's review was perfect. We drove 8 1/2 hours to Orlando to see these guys and I am not the least bit sorry. I've waited over twenty years to see that show and it was amazing. I really am not into Queensryche either, but they did a good job--i missed most of their show standing in line for beer and t-shirts. Alice Cooper is a master! He rocked and shocked the freakin house, i only wish his set could've been longer we were 12 rows back in the center and one would've thought he was only 30 years old, he didn't miss a beat. I saw him on the trash tour back in 90 or 91 as well. i heard he was staying at the same hotel as me, Marriott, but I didn't see him. And what about Sabbath/heaven & hell---i don't even know how to describe what an awesome feeling it was to see RJD and Iommi with my own eyes, to hear them all, to take part in history. these guys are legends! Cooper,Butler, Appice included. Now i can go buy the live dvd--i waited so as not to spoil it one little bit!

oh and btw I'm pretty sure the show started before 7:30 and i am positive i checked the time on the way out and it was 10:56--curfew at 11:00 most likely. Great pics purevel where were you sitting?

[PureEvel]

Well like I said, no watch so I was relying on my little bro for times. He said there arent any curfews for shows in Orlando but i'm not from there so I don't know. Southerncross you sound like me! I've been waiting 20+ years to see Dio and finally dicided if he wasn't gonna come to me I was going to him. So I flew down from Virginia for it! And yeah it was totally worth it!

My seats were second row a bit to the right of center but when everyone in the front row stood up we jumped over the chairs. Then when H&H came on a nice guy who was there more for Cooper gave me his spot on the rail so it was front center for Dio!!!

This was me, didja see me?

[PureEvel]

Oh and I'll bet Alice was at the Marriott, we saw Eric Singer there after the show.

[southerncross]

hey pureEvel, no shit--I think I did see you there, that is if you were wearing that same outfit. i saw a peson wearing something very similar, and i thought to myself, "that looks like one of Dio's outfits!" A small world. We came down from Calhoun, an hour north of Atlanta.

[PureEvel]

Yup, thats what I was wearing! I like to stand out
