He was about 60 years old here - and it interesting, cause' when his voice aged, his italian/operatic heritage became more evident. In this clip, he is very close to opera, theater etc... He articulates and dramatizes for all his worth 🌟 Brilliant man 🤘👍💥
Gerry Alabado Doug is so underrated...I mean what an absolute master. I am so glad RJD gave him the space and freeness..RJD was a true musician who took everyone along with him to the heights he reached !!!
The guy is a great guitarist, the ultimate replacement! Seems like he's in a lot of good bands, but usually when they're at the tail end of their creativeness. Reminds me of singer Doogie White in that way. LOL
Saw these guyz in Seattle, (with KingsX) and was so happy that Doug Aldrich, (had never heard of him) was respectful to Vivian's solo's yet he brought a passion and clarity that was so impressive I'll never forget em'...what a talent he is!
Dio had an exceptionally natural feel for the arts in general and it is so apparent in his song writing, unsurpassed vocal prowess and theatrical onstage body language. Absolutely unique in his style, like Jimi Hendrix, we will never see the likes of Ronnie James Dio ever again.
Although showing my age, this transports me back to my buddies basement when it was first on MTV. It was one of many WTF moments in my life. I knew that I stumbled upon greatness at that moment in time. RIP Ronnie...love ya brother!!
Doug Aldridge to me has always been one of those guitarists that plays with soul and he makes it look effortless. He is one of my influences! Don't get me wrong Vivian is a fantastic player and I idolize him as well. Ian Campbell (northlander30)
This was playing on my MP3 when my Medical Battalion was rotating out of Iraq in 2007 after the grueling 6 month Battle for Ramadi. Medical was always the Last in Line to leave the Battlefield
That's a very strong statement to make but you might be right as he hit every single note of the solo and his tune was great. Last in Line 1984 at the spectrum was the defining one for me. Perfect vocals, guitar, and crowd!
I SWEAR I WAS AT THE CONCERT FOR KILLING THE DRAGON ALBUM, WHEN DIO DID WE ROCK AND THE LAST IN LINE, NOW THIS IS IN VEGAS AT THE MANDALAY BAY HOUSE OF BLUES IN NOVEMBER. DIO WOULD COME TO ALOT OF US AND SAY YOU ROCK YOU ROCK YOU ROCK LAS VEGAS WE ALL ROCK, THEN WHEN HE DID THE LAST IN LINE HE WOULD SAY YOUR THE LAST IN LINE YOUR THE LAST IN LINE LAS VEGAS WHERE THE LAST IN LINE. IN CONCERT HE WAS SUCH A GENTLEMAN, HE NEVER CURSED HE PUT ON THAT MEAN FACE YOU NEED TO MAKE THE SONG GREAT WHILE SINGING, THEN AFTER SONG WAS OVER HE WOULD BE REAL POLITE.
jill janice Thank you, I try to follow in dio's footsteps, I stop cursing a few days ago. With cursing I just figured it don't make you all that cool to curse, iam not saying anyone shouldn't curse, it just feels better not to. By the way R.I.P RONALD JAMES PADAVONA DIO.
Viv's a smoking guitar player; I was kinda disappointed when he joined Leppard & basically disappeared in their mix. At the same time, Doug Aldrich is an amazing player as well, and plays it like Viv did originally. Both incredibly talented, both worthy of filling the lead slot in Dio...
I saw Holy Diver then like a year later they did the Last in Line Tour and I saw that. DIO was so good I can't remember I was going a lot back then to any show I could make; who opened for those two tours, different each show but still can't remember? I remember seeing Pantera and YnT as opening acts, 1 opened for KISS I thought but was told no, maybe DIO can't remember. I thought they would suck ass and had a cheesy looking show, but Dime hit it and got my attention fast!! In 84 you could tell Dime Bag was going to be a force to reckon with as he got exposure, we were a small venue to DIO but he packed it. Who I saw Pantera open for I can't say, just that when I saw their equipment compared to what DIO packed and the lights, pyro and smoke and mirrors they use to give you an experience. Pantera had like 4 stacks for each, and that was it aside from a banner that looked like a kid made in his garage or High School Art Class. Wish I could go back or find the footage, one stop I bet a camera had access.
Saw Dio on his last solo tour 2002-3? with Deep Purple and The Scorpions. Dio opened and the turnout was very disappointing for his set. Where was all this support he has now back then? A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves! Vivian Campbell was and will always be his best guitar player of his solo work. Saw a interview w him saying how he didn't care for his current band and was more than ready to do the Heaven and Hell performances. Thanks for the great memories RIP.
If donating my own organs would have kept Dio alive for the next generation of kids to know the true king of metal...I would have not even hesitated. R.I.P. GOD OF METAL
Un « Chef d’Oeuvre » musical🤘intense, « last in Line et Holy Diver, sont 2 chansons distinctes🌈dans certains concerts il fait alliance des deux titres(2 en 1) et là !!!

....But the magic that We'll feel it's worth a lifetime....

stolen from the greeks LMAO
but I know what you mean...
Is Dio in the Hall of Fame?
Great points!
Aldrich slays the solo, pretty awesome!!!
Gerry Alabado Doug is so underrated...I mean what an absolute master. I am so glad RJD gave him the space and freeness..RJD was a true musician who took everyone along with him to the heights he reached !!!

RIP DIO, you are missed.
he is never missed, he is alive with his creation ! hero never dies..........
Dio lives anywhere and everywhere the metal hand sign is made.
Legends never die
Barry Manilo sold 4 Ticked for His Show this Night.
Dio is the god of music
+Palloma Gomes Carneiro agree!)))

King's X ???
fuck yeah...
Yep. He's a straight rock and roller, no antics, just a great player with old skool balls and a modern sound.
Ronnie James Dio was the only singer who's voice didn't age with him. RIP the voice of metal.
***** Bruce's t2! ;) he's even better now!
it did age, and it aged beautifully
His voice became obviously darker around 2004. Listen to performances after 2004.
Compare to this...

Are you deaf? He was still better than expected, but “didn’t age”? Come on now.

Just so excellent, I think I prefer this to the studio version.

Dio was awesome, no one has ever replaced his voice. A true metal god .
Thank you, so much Ronnie!!
The best metal voice ever...Rip legend
This was playing on my MP3 when my Medical Battalion was rotating out of Iraq in 2007 after the grueling 6 month Battle for Ramadi.
Medical was always the Last in Line to leave the Battlefield
This is the kind of music that will and can never die. The world will rock on without you Ronnie but just not as much!
One of my favorite singers/vocalists Dio you're greatly missed
When you look up Heavy Metal in the dictionary there should be a picture of DIO ! Best rock vocalist ever ! RIP RJD
That's a very strong statement to make but you might be right as he hit every single note of the solo and his tune was great. Last in Line 1984 at the spectrum was the defining one for me. Perfect vocals, guitar, and crowd!

You are so right such a class act!!!

An amazing talent, unique voice. I grew up on Dio. There will never be another Ronnie James Dio. R.I.P Ronnie!
The GOAT of metal. Sorely missed never forgotten. Always awesome.
One of the best solos of heavy metal ever! Melodic, shred and ambient... Doug (as Campbell) is awesome!
Agreed and his technique is great! He also sat in for Whitesake and did a grat job too along with Reb Beach. He really brought those songs alive.
He DOES and DID!! Your Right!!
He is sorely missed. A legend.
Like always just AWESOME 🎵🎶👍 I sure miss you Ronnie 🎵🎶🙏
love this song. `nuff said
Magnific !
Viv's a smoking guitar player; I was kinda disappointed when he joined Leppard & basically disappeared in their mix. At the same time, Doug Aldrich is an amazing player as well, and plays it like Viv did originally. Both incredibly talented, both worthy of filling the lead slot in Dio...
Hard to believe Viv plays second fiddle to Phil in Defleppard. Phil has got to be the worst guitarist of any rock band. He's so full of himself
what a beautiful, short, homely man!!
I heard him say Simon Wright.. Acdc's drummer on Heatseeker, That's the way I wanna Rock n Roll, Who made who and a couple more albums 💿 💿..
How could you not love this ?!!!!
Doug Aldrich is under rated, he just is !
Dio's off to the witch.
He may never never never come home!
But the magic that he'll feel will last a lifetime!
Ronald James Padavona 😢
James Stewart Bain 😢
Simon Wright
Scott Warren
Doug Aldrich
What a Show What a Line 🎹🎤🥁🎸⚡️🔥
Para amar hay que conocer, y conocer es tener luz...
Y tener luz es amar. Y tener conocimiento es amar.
¡¡Gracias Dio!!
So tight, my favorite performance.
Dio - The Last in Line
Such a great performance !!!
Dio fez história no heavy metal. Descanse em paz!

EXCELLENT VOICE
I love this song..
dio's voice + heavy metal = dio metal reaction
Miss you DIO!!!!!
Saw Dio on his last solo tour 2002-3? with Deep Purple and The Scorpions. Dio opened and the turnout was very disappointing for his set. Where was all this support he has now back then? A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves! Vivian Campbell was and will always be his best guitar player of his solo work.

Thanks for the great memories RIP.

Is there a better DIO than this 2002 era? I only saw Black & Blue DIO SABBATH. Talent Bestowed By The Gods
Bad ass!
Doug Aldridge is great
Respect...
Simply the best! Missing RJD! \m/
So glad Dio replaced Campbell with Doug Aldrich. Doug is so incredible and has so much more feel than Vivien

10+ for Doug Aldrich. 100+ for Ronnie (RIP).
El mas grande del metal si señores!!!
He'll be back.
If donating my own organs would have kept Dio alive for the next generation of kids to know the true king of metal...I would have not even hesitated. R.I.P. GOD OF METAL
Dio is one of the only singers where the album doesn’t do his voice justice
The last will be the first.
