Shihad Tour Diary: Part Five

Saturday 4 May was the fifth show on the Black Sabbath tour with Shihad in support, and for me, it is in my home town Perth.  It never seems like you are on tour when doing a gig in Perth until you wake up in your own bed. I got up early went for a fish and got to the Perth Arena about two. Sabbath's crew has been great in making sure we have enough time each day for a thorough soundcheck.

As always it doesn't matter what sort of crowd you put in front of this band, they always deliver and I'm sure each night they have gained a few fans. I got a call from a Danny Green asking if I could sort him a meet and greet [and beer] with the band, I told him it would be fine but if he makes any trouble back stage I would have to sort him out...He turns out to be a great fella and a massive Shihad fan. The boys got some photos with the champ and my son Jesse...he was stoked! Great night had by all. Looking forward to Adelaide on Tuesday.
