Heaven and Hell-House of Blues in Atlantic City
by azvol on 8/30/09House of Blues Atlantic City - Atlantic CityOpening act-Hailstorm-very good,the singer is working hard , bass and guitarists are excellent-the drummer-a bit over the top but overall-good band if not for a very weak song endings.Heaven and Hell aka Black sabbath w/Dio. Amazing.You might like or dislike Appice but he did his best . Iommi and Geezer are incredible.Just watching them play is a treat.Dio-is another miracle.Comletely dwarfed by everything around him, thin and fragile, looking like a court joker-he is sending almost visible beams of singing through the crowd.Powerful and agitating singing, great voice and presense.Perfect concert with the exclusion of a lousy work of the sound engineer(guitar was overwhelming Dio most of the act). the stage view blocked by the speakers hanging on both sides of the stage(could not see Geeser till changed seats-no thanks to security stuff ), a bunch of drunks who had something to do with security-thus preventing some of us being able to watch the show(chances are security got paid under the table by letting them in and allowing to choose and change seats at will-and not allowing anybody else to do the same-ones who tried to escape this ravaging idiots)-thus- make sure if you go to this venue(make sure you will)-get seats with best view(not by using the best seats available feature)and try to avoid AC's House of Blues by all means.This is a 3rd show in my experience killed by sound technicians.Alice Cooper and Deep Purple were exterminated totally.
