Welcome to the 12 Boots of Christmas! I know it looks like a pair of clogs, like the ones you bought your mom last Christmas. Yes, they look cool and look a lot like boots, as well as the bootlegs that will be performing like the originals in this upcoming show.

Between today and the last day of 2009, I will be bringing twelve musical gifts to you via the internet.  Coveted bootlegs by big-time bands performing live in locales such as Europe, Australia, California, and Cleveland, the rock and roll capital of the universe.

What awaits you is a worldwide yuletide extravaganza of rock and roll.

Seeing that today is Black Friday, there’s no better way to begin the fill the first holiday boot than with a Thanksgiving show from the masters of metal, Black Sabbath.

We’re riding a snowflake back in time to November 27, 1980 at the Capitol Theatre in Sydney, Australia for a show from the latter stages of the Heaven and Hell tour.

Ronnie James Dio is the vocalist, working through the second of his three albums in place of the Oz, and Vinny Appice is the new drummer replacing the freshly-fired Bill Ward. Bassist Geezer Butler just returned to the lineup in January after facing personal issues which moved his replacement, Geoff Nicholls, to keyboards.

Do you remember that Sabbath had a keyboard player and that he often played behind a curtain offstage during live gigs?

Well, even Santa can forgive chemically-influenced decision making so he approved this show for release as Boot #1 in the 12 Boots of Christmas series brought to you by the Stereo Dictator and his band of merry-makers.

  1. Kick ass. I've always liked the Dio-era Black Sabbath. Our best wishes to Ronnie James Dio, who is currently battling stomach cancer, which thankfully, they caught in the early stages.
