Oh, my God!
Born in the USSR, in a distant town, listened to his music, despite the official ban. Had no chance to see him in 1989, was so jealousy to those who was lucky enough to get through and survive "Moscow Music Peace Festival". Lost the last hope to see him when his 2002 European tour was cancelled...
And when the Black Rain Tour was announced I've preordered the tickets two month before they were actually printed!
A week before the show my colleague have sent me a link to an SMS-contest where anyone could measure his knowledge of Ozzy&Sabbath history in order to win a free ticket and meet&greet. I was sceptical about this contest but took a part. What was my surprise when I got a call and the girl said that I've won a ticket! Two hours later she called again and knocked me out saying that the guy, who won meet&greet cannot visit Moscow so I'm incredibly lucky bastard...
That was beyond the limits of my imagination. And it still stays beyond. No doubt - this was Divine intervention. So many people here in Russia waited him for a long years, wanted just to see him on stage, and I'm between few chosen - a Sony BMG Russia girls and journalists.
Ozzy was actually tired - he did his job on stage quite well from first to the last second and showed no sign that he is 58. That was magic.
THANK YOU, MAN! The meeting was too short to say more than a couple of words. So I THANK YOU for all russian people you made happy with your music.
