That scream at the beginning is flat-out jaw-dropping. 65 years old, and he makes 99% of all metal singers sound like rank amateurs. The man was born to sing, just like Buddy Rich was born to play drums and Jimi Hendrix was born to play guitar. We won't see his like for a LONG time. I feel so privileged that I got to see him live six times (twice solo, and four times with Heaven and Hell). I just wish I'd met him.
I had the happiness of seing H&H one year before Dio died, in Rio de Janeiro. When he did this exact screaming, i got stunned. What an amazing singer he was.
Even Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson admitted that Ronnie was on whole different level. I still remember the day I heard he passed away, it hit me really hard… RIP brother, miss you every day
Ronnie just screamed an A5 (in the key of Ab). o... m...g.... I've never heard him do that in any song till this one. Damn.... That IS higher than Halford's stuff in his prime and this guy here is pushing 70! I knew he was going to do something but that?
Actually is A5, I wrote the same mistake talking about Glenn Hughes screams in Burn - Live California Jam (I commented those A6 screams were mind-blowing and a vocal instructor corrected me about that - A6 would sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks! xDDDD ) Dio was an incredible vocalist nonetheless, he is sorely missed!
At 0:20 you can see that the bass is basically an extension of his body. He's so familiar with it and puts so little effort into playing that anyone would think it's easy.
You mean...? He does not need(he does not need) A microphone(a microphone) His voice is fucking(fucking) POWERFUL!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYAH! too long has no one responded adequately and yes, I'll show myself out

0:11 Fucking effortless A5 scream from a 60+ year old man. Dio was still awesome up until his death, and hadn't he have died, he would've been good for many years to come. Unlike most of his peers, he didn't blow out/lose his voice over the years, if anything it got better with age.
@S yeah well, he's dead, Halford is still here, I will say some of his latest screams are up there.. he's come back in some way of screaming with the lower tuning guitars.. check out victim of changes live sometime, it's awesome..IMO
I saw these guys in Winnipeg less than a week before this show. It was almost exactly like this show. Best show I have ever seen in my life. R.I.P Ronnie James Dio.
I've played this clip hundreds of times over the years and I still get the same result when Ronnie nails that scream at the start. Goosebumps then Fuuuccckkkk.
I've seen this video 1000 times and every time i get the same tingling in my legs and my back.... this man was special, from his amazing vocals, his lyrics, his heart and his amazing friendship and love for life. Sooo Sooo miss this wonderful human being,... ------ MISS YOU RJD !
In my 50's. Listening to Ronnie for about 30 years all phases of his career...That " Oh C'mon " wail at the start I'd NEVER heard before. WOW!!!...Many great vocalists have come and gone and are lingering. But NONE with the persona and stage presence of R.J.Dio. He had a way of moving, gesturing and playing to the crowd that was his very own territory. All the way down to his unmistakable Dio attire...Ronnie is not gone my friends. He's just gone Stargazing riding the never ending Rainbow.
Dio did that exact same scream in Mob Rules when Heaven And Hell played here in Rio, one year before his passing. He was from another planet, best Heavy Metal singer of all-time.
Saw him when Dio started. Never seen a Metal singer. PROJECT his voice so professionally he reaches out with the Horns pulls back with a fist and projects . Watched that man sing like an opera singer for an Hour. Never been so proud to be associated with HEAVY METAL RIP RONNIE
I remember seeing Ronnie in Athens in 2005. He would do these screams, just like in the beginning of Mob Rules, and we'd all just stare at the stage, slack-jawed. He wouldn't do this kind of things in the studio, simply because they wouldn't fit the songs. But that doesn't mean he couldn't do them. Which goes to show what kind of a musician he was - a legend, perhaps the greatest metal vocalist of all time.
Yeah, the closest he ever got to doing any screams as insane as the one he did here in a studio setting was on Wild One (from Lock Up The Wolves), and that was a step below the A5 he hit here. Most of the stuff Dio recorded was melodic bangers that called for something that would be easier to sing along to, but Wild One had this sort of quasi-thrash metal quality to it that made an gut-wrenching scream highly appropriate. Man, I wish he was still around, he'd probably still be able to perform well in his late 70s, though everybody eventually either quits or passes.
@@hellsunicorn Many people find it impossible for a male singer to hit a G5 in full chest voice but not in relation to Ronnie, that G5 he sustained in Wild One was in full chest voice with throat distortion, he has a great mastery of laryngeal technique and a high level of muscular compression and vocal resistance compared to other vocalists, I isolated that note in order to find any peak vibration in his head, because then I would think it was a voice mixed in dense register in chest voice but I didn't find any peak vibration in his head voice and he amazingly nailed that distorted note in full chest voice with a lot of control in the projection.
Not including those screams on studio also has the advantage that not forcing himself doing them in every show. Since they aren't featured on the original, he can decide if to do them or not. For the audience is also a surprise.
I watched this twice in a row. I NEVER watch videos twice in a row! I gotta say, I've seen a metric shit ton of shows and Ronnie is the only vocalist that ever gave me chills in a live setting. I saw him both solo and with Sabbath several times and he was NEVER off by the slightest amount. RIP Ronnie.
RJD was drinking beer and smoking a joint before going onstage somewhere. He was asked if he was going to warm up before the show. Dio looked at the spliff and beer and said 'I am warming up.'
First time I heard this was in a drive in movie watching the film Heavy Metal; bought Mob Rules the next morning when Tower Records opened. 1981 was a long while ago, and still this is timeless, and still I dig this.

My dad saw him twice with Heaven and Hell, and got a chance to meet him along with Iommi and Geezer. He says he was a pretty cool guy.
And dont forget: he was already stricken with cancer...
I had the happiness of seing H&H one year before Dio died, in Rio de Janeiro.
When he did this exact screaming, i got stunned. What an amazing singer he was.
@David Topchiev true..this is the one performance with that pitch..i never came across any other performance with that high scream...
@David Topchiev Same... I'm stunned. Was there some kind of playback technical enhancement going on?
DIO!!!!!!!! That SCREEEEEAAAAM!!!!!!!
This was SO amazing!!!!!! My 2nd SHoW was DIO special from the Spectrum
0:12 This "Come on" has paid the show itself
Precisely.
One of the absolute best things i've ever heard...not exaggerating even a little.
I agree Ronnie really got up there! what a scream! COME OOON!!!!
Best part ever in the entire heavy metal society life 🤘
He really nail that one FUCKING EPIC
This is not music. This is pure power!!!
Even Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson admitted that Ronnie was on whole different level. I still remember the day I heard he passed away, it hit me really hard… RIP brother, miss you every day

the scream always give me the chills

Geezer Butler is a MONSTER bass player.
Got tired just watching the energy he puts into playing here.

God-like opening scream

probably nothing like his scream when Jesus kicked his ass into hell ~
Max Warren same!!
theothertroll dude wtf is wrong with you. God took Dio because he wants to form the worlds most awesome band in heaven.
He was christian bruh, oh wait the name
That scream is absolutely fucking delightful.
His voice was so powerful he didn't need a mic, he only held one in his hand for visual effect and to not be accused of miming
Hahaha!
He's one of a select few who can do that. Only others is Freddie Mercury and Rob Halford
@@Bartman954 And Bruce Dickinson.

POWERFUL!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYAH!
too long has no one responded adequately and yes, I'll show myself out
Keep wearing your Dio shirts and sweaters. Keep buying his albums & enjoy his art. Dio can never die!! COME ON!!!!!!!!!
Some bass players use picks. Geezer Butler goes apeshit with his fingers even at this tempo. What a hero.
+SpectacularName I think he uses both tho sometimes goes with a pick sometimes with his fingers.
I've seen him use a pick a few times, but I'm mostly impressed with how he proves he doesn't need it to be accurate at any tempo.
+SpectacularName Agreed, Geezer Butler is the best bass player ever.
+SpectacularName Yeah, Geezer is awesome, big influence on my playing :)
To me the most notable change in Black Sabbath when Dio came on the scene was in Geezer's work. His playing got tighter, faster, and more aggressive.
Oh my fucking God, that high note Dio hits at 0:14 blows my fucking mind everytime I hear it. He was in his mid 60's and sounds great! Long live Dio!!
and had cancer
Top three, no question.
That note is an a3, 3 octaves above normal male pitch.

Its funny, because he's also, apparently, self-taught.
ShortFingeredShreder it's a B5 ;)
Daniele Stefani I checked it out, and the note he hit corresponds to the note on the high e string at the 17th fret (on guitar), which is an A5.
Daniele Stefani No, it's just a shrill A5
ShortFingeredShreder my mistake :)
That one A5 scream just paid for the whole freaking show.
That scream!!!! Ahhhhh CMONNNN!!!!My hair stood up !!!
Force of nature!!!!!
Ronnie was '64 yrs old at the time...the pipes were still working, yes...\m/
Much better than ozzy on 13
And dieing of cancer
And he had cancer!
even with stomach cancer {full blown} Ronnie was a better performer than most front men . 70 years old HOLY FUCK
His voice makes everything sound epic and true
One of the greatest shows I ever saw. To hear these guys do these absolute bangers live was a dream come true. RIP Ronnie, you still rule.
Brilliant musicians too. Geezer Buttler. Tomy Iomi.
How the hell did he hit those notes at that age, with such power and force?!
He is the DIO aka GOD
Well, regular healthy sport, absense of alchohol and drugs, positive spirit.
Ultimate bad ass
With the power of forbidden orc magic!!! Or something!! Who gives a shit?!? He left us with so much gold.

That scream he does at the beginning gives me chills every time. He had such an amazing and powerful voice.
Not much can match this. This is not music this is pure power.
I miss Ronnie! The scream at the beginning is awesome. He didn't do that too much in his vocals but He certainly nailed it! Incredible!
Goosebumps
O maior de todos os tempos, esse nao tem igual!!!
The scream is the magic
The one and only GOAT 🤟
Never. Heard. Ronnie. Scream. Like. That. I. Went. Wtf. Love. Ronnie. RIP. ❤️
