Description
filed under #3868 all vinyl visually graded Near-MINT; strange music on side 2 that has nothing to do with Black Sabbath. You can hear Ronnie James Dio talking to the crowd but no actual music "The members of Black Sabbath faced a different kind of battle with the bottle at their Oct. 9, 1980, stop in Milwaukee, when bassist Geezer Butler had to be taken to the hospital after being pelted with a flying object thrown by someone in the audience. When the crowd realized the band had left the building, all hell broke loose. Butler looked back on the fracas in a 2007 interview laughing off his interviewer's apology on behalf of everyone in Wisconsin "for that idiot's behavior" and musing, "It's all a big misunderstanding, really."As he went on to argue, the stage was dark when he got hit, so he thinks it must have been an accident one compounded by an unfortunate lack of communication between the venue and the fans. "Unless the fellow was some sort of incredible quarterback, I don't know how he could have hit me on purpose. But I was knocked out, and the band was busy getting me off the stage and to a hospital. When the lights came back up, there was no band onstage. And of course, the crowd freaked out."
Looking back, Butler acknowledged that "someone should have gone out and explained — the promoter or someone. I mean, the band was worrying about getting me to the hospital, you know? So the crowd freaked out because there was suddenly no band onstage, and things got worse from there."
