- 1970 Black Sabbath @ Tofts (Sat 11 Apr 1970)
Come on, someone must have been at this..? Maybe this was at the School of Art instead.
[leave a comment]- Wheels of confusion...black-sabbath.com and ozzyhead.com both say the gig was at Tofts, but they could both be copied from the same innacurate source, I will do more searching for the School of Art if you think the gig might have been there... -
