So this morning I get up, have a coffee and log on to see whats been going on with the High Voltage Festival and find that I have won a free pair of tickets to todays (Sundays) show.......only problem is that I live a fair way from the event, trains are not running and there is no parking around the place!!

Cant even give tickets away as they are need ID to give me my writsband........groan.........

There are only a couple of bands on today that I would want to see but at such short notice the logistics make it impossible for me to go................now if I'd won tickets to last night - everything would have been done to get me there!!!!

For folks in UK
HEAVEN & HELL: Highlights From RONNIE JAMES DIO Tribute Concert To Air On U.K.'s SKY ARTS
On August 28 at 9:00 p.m. local time, U.K. cable satellite channel Sky Arts will broadcast presumably professionally filmed highlights from the High Voltage festival at Victoria Park in London, England, including the July 24, 2010 performance by surviving HEAVEN & HELL members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice as a tribute to their fallen bandmate, Ronnie James Dio. Also scheduled to be broadcast are clips from ZZ TOP, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, FOREIGNER and GARY MOORE.
Iommi, Butler and Appice were joined at the High Voltage festival by legendary former DEEP PURPLE and BLACK SABBATH man Glenn Hughes and Norwegian vocalist Jorn Lande, who sings for power metallers MASTERPLAN and has just released his own tribute to Ronnie.

Just sat through the High Voltage Festival on Sky Arts 1 HD.......and NO Heaven and Hell !!!!!

Dont know what happened but there was also no ZZ Top or Gary Moore footage, plenty of ELP, Foreigner, Marillion, Asia etc but No Heaven and Hell.

Wonder what happened?

I will say watching the show in HD was immense! Just gutted that there was no Heaven and Hell footage.
