*Despite the older photo of the band used in the ad for this show, Black Sabbath by this point featured Ronnie James Dio on vocals, not Ozzy Osbourne, who is pictured in the ad. Additionally, according to the amazingly detailed and well researched tour dates section over at the ultimate Black Sabbath fan site Black-Sabbath.com, the opening acts were Blue Oyester Cult and Shakin' Street. This was also original drummer Bill Ward's final gig with Black Sabbath until he rejoined them for a single performance at Live Aid in the summer of 1985.
