According to Ian Gillan, this was a piss-take of a Black Sabbath gig.
Apparently, they designed a Stonehenge set but they made it too
large and there was no room on the stage for the band. Gillan had to
stand side-on between two "stones" to get to his microphone.

Needless to say they only used the set once aswell.

Cheers,
