To close to being considered 'Batman-ish', maybe?

I didn't see the show in Detroit that year. The Toledo show was right around that time. I think that they had also gone to Flint for a show and they were all bunched together.
Gillan was very good in Toledo. The screams at the end of SKOW were excellent, way better than the awful guitar/vocal duel that just preceeded them.
The rest of the band was hot. Blackers put on a real show, as did Lord. Paice and Glover were their usual excellent selves, Paice doing a fine solo with Glover as animated as usual.
I was right up front, but not too close, and had a great view. A friend of mine caught a Paice drum stick. All in all, a great experience for Toledo.
They had all played in Toledo in various bands over the years. They actually enjoyed playing here. The Sports Arena was a great venue for a medium town. Kind of beaten up, but you couldn't hurt it. A great place for a good, rowdy, smoked-up concert.
The smelliest dressing rooms I've ever been in,that building.Great vibe,terrible facilities.Hopefully spruced up for the band.

...really?
I know Gillan's voice was often bad on that tour, but saying that a Rainbow instrumental was the best live track on the reunion tour is a bit extreme!
I'd have chosen KAYBD...for the slide solo at the end .

Also, wasnt Hungary Daze from the THOBL tour rather? And with knebworth being the only official release it doesn't have much competition does it?
