my first Sabbath show was with Ozzy , June 10th 1978 at Hammersmith Odeon London with Van Halen as support act. I caught several shows with Ronnie James Dio and was at the Reading Festival in August 1983 for the only UK show featuring Ian Gillan.

The BBC recorded the Reading show and should still be available as a bootleg if you search hard enough for it. The BBC also recorded another Sabbath show at the Manchester Apollo circa 88-89 featuring Tony Martin on vocals which was a very good gig.
