But they did use it at the Reading Festival in 1983 when they played fronted by Ian Gillan.... and encored with 'smoke on the water'

I was 16, drunk, dancing like a fool about 50 yards from the stage to the right. My right arm was wrapped  around a gorgeous young rock chick whome I later got to know much better. Youth, alcohol, romance and comedy. Happy days indeed.

I think it's a good film! It's funny and the director shows a great talent and taste (or distaste).

I think there was a bit of Beatles play in there to. You had that Yoko Ono type girl friend sticking her nose in their business pissing off the other members. Great flick. I remember watching it with a friend who was seeing it for the 1st time. And he said "Yeah, I think I remember these guys but I never got around to buying any of their albums." I about choked on my beer laughing!

I'd never heard that story about Sabbath and Stonehenge before. That's funny!

What I want to know is - who was the band who couldn't find their way from the dressing room to the stage?
