Notes: Black Sabbath *Two Songs*....THEN....The Destructive Riot! October 9th 1980 Miwaukee Arena Stardate Presents. This was the Black and Blue tour. Here is the best documentary ever to come out of a concert/riot show. Geezer Butler gets hit with something that cuts hit eye and the band walks off after two songs and the crowd is told to go home. Then 10,000 people groan...hiss...and boooooooo! Part of the problem was nobody really new what had happened. One chair was knocked over in discuss. Then two chairs was knocked over. Then four, sixteen, what is sixteen to the second power? Hand rails were ripped out from the balcony. The back support for the fixed chairs in the balcony were busted in half. All the while I am recording all this mayhem. I even interviewed the nuts while they were braking stuff. The security team all surrounded the mixing consule while this was taking place. I am now in the balcony watching and recording. All the fold up chairs on the main floor was made of wood. By now, there was at least 100 of these chairs all in a HUGE pile in the middle of the main floor. I then see one guy with a BIC lighter trying to light this huge wooden chair pile. Classic. He never could get it going. He needed lighter fluid. Police sirens and all the sounds of a riot right here. Every piece of window and door glass was broken. Over $10,000.00 in damage. My buddy was told to leave by police but then went back in and promptly was arrested. He said that police station was over flowing with arrestees and reporters. Black Sabbath has not played in Milwaukee since. The Milwaukee Bucks I believe had a game the next day. Analog Master RB About 19th row left center main floor.

Just 100% energy in quality control of sound. What this means is: All my uploads are exactly as the master...RAW! This includes all if any...gaps, cut songs, pops and bad tracking. But if I were you, don't let this discourage you to download. **DO NOT CHANGE THESE CD'S IN....ANYWAY....EXCEPT FOR...YOUR... USE!** Two songs played then all hell breaks loose.
