Hi guys,

I'm not being picky, but the Midland, TX. stub is actually sitting here in front of me in my ticket book. I truly don't believe it is from Nov. of '78. The show from Nov 16 was postponed until Nov. 19th. Is it possible Midland then became Nov.16? I think this show could be dated somewhere between August 1-8, 1978. There are so many dates out there that are incorrect, or undocumented, that it's hard to keep a lot of it straight.

Research on Black Sabbath tour dates indicates that Nov 18, 1978 was Odessa, TX. so I don't think the 18th date for Midland is right.

Perhaps Greg (Ffoner) can pull out some of his magical research skills and make sense of this one.

This show was originally mentioned in the 11/21/78 edition of Circus, but was apparently moved to Midland.

Robert Usrey: "On Nov 18, 1978 Sabbath played at the Chapparal Center in Midland, Texas...NOT in Odessa texas..I was there...it was the FIRST rock show held at Chaparral Center, which was only a few months old at the time. A minor detail, of course, but you have done a great job of compiling a ton of accurate information. Thought you would want to know."

Great catch! I think that will put at least this one mystery to bed. Thanks for providing this information.

I wonder if they were flying to get to some of these shows...some of the them are 500+ miles from each other and they were playing them on consecutive days. For example:

1978-07-19 Engel Stadium - Bay City Central High School Bay City, MI
1978-07-20 Tulsa Assembly Center Tulsa, OK

Corrected Info:

1978-09-29 Key City Arena Seattle, WA
1978-09-30 Key City Arena Seattle, WA

should be listed as "Seattle Center Coliseum"

The place in Seattle is now called Key Arena. It was the Coliseum for many years.

I know you already have stuff for this date, but I found this poster on e-bay:



Aragon Hall or Aragon Ballroom. Not sure which is correct. :confused:
