ABSOLUTELY !!!! When concerts were cool.... LEGENDARY front man and no sea of cell phones illuminating the crowd. Bring back the lighters !!!! DIO FOREVER !!!!
The fact that Dio was already 46 at the time still amuses me. I'd give my soul and all my family's to have just half of the power and control he had over his voice. The guy had the gift, seeing him sing so effortlessly for hours (like the '77 show in Munich with Rainbow)... Fuck, I miss this dude.
@Metal Massacre \m/ Nice bro, thanks for sharing!!!!! This was my second, Sacred Heart was my first and then it just went on throughout the years up until Radio City Music Hall with H&H (Sabbath) 2007! Great to know you became a Drummer for a death metal band👍. Vinny is one of the Greats, Was wondering if Dave Lombardo of Slayer had an influence on you since he's such and inspirational Drummer in Speed Metal Music
Feel blessed to have been a teenager when Dio was at the height of his power.. Awesome vocals stage presence and performer.. The kids of today have missed out big time.. R.I.P. Ronnie , thanks for the memories.
I know man ... I was born in 88 but didnt really get into him till I was 19 -20 :( . I still had plans to see him ...never got to ...a lot was going on in the heaven and hell years ... didnt even know they were together till 011
One of the best shows I've ever seen. Dio w/ Megadeth and Savatage on the Dream Evil tour 12/87. They just don't have have shows like this anymore. RIP Ronnie James as WE ROCK on in your memory! Horns up!
I was a 2 year old in S.A. when this concert took place but thanks to my 19 year old mom at the time I like dio, scorpions, triumph, Van Halen Maiden etc. wish I could of seen Dio. I know he’s still throwing up the horns in heaven though. I hope we rock is my ascension song leaving this world
I SAW THIS BAND PERFORM IN THE 80'S DIO singer RONNIE JAMES DIO R.I.P. SAN ANTONIO * I WAS THERE * HemisFair Arena Demolished June, 1995. Also known as Convention Center Arena
There aren't words to describe the magic that is Dio! The man, the band, the legend. I wonder if there is a full concert anywhere. This video appears to be filmed professionally.Thank you for this.
Dio had the voice that still carries the torch of heavy metal! Long Live The Music we all Love!!! And that’s Heavy Metal in San Antonio and all over the WORLD...
Saw this tour when they rolled through Detroit at Cobo Arena. Me and three other friends had Main floor tickets. Me and my buddy worked our way to the front of the stage. It was louder then God and it smelled like ass from everybody sweating and headbanging. Everybody was wearing leather jackets including us. It was incredible!! One of my friends actually caught one of Vinnie's sticks during the show when Vinnie through it out to the audience. Being a young 18 year old drummer I held that stick all the way home. Had to give the stick back to my friend though😔.

THE LITTLE GIANT !!!
Last tour with a huge stage production for Dio. Lock up the Wolves tour there was a cool looking stage but not near the show Sacred Heart was, not to mention this tour
Funny thing is that this was NO challenge to him in his prime, I am not a vocal expert but I can tell...he could do as much as his lungs would let him.
He really was still at his prime here at 46 years, as huge fan i think he was at his absolute peak in his 40´s, i saw the same concert in 1987 here in Stockholm Sweden ( and have seen him quite few times live) and even though this performance sounds awesome and it sounded equally awesome in Sweden it was pretty much just the way he did his thing, you can pick up any bootleg and it will sound this good, i have heard hundreds myself.
i don't think its vivian campbell on guitars.. its totally different move and besides campbell joined whitesnakes during this time. i think its craig goldy on lead guitars..
The 1984 Dio album THE LAST IN LINE (it's the 1st track of the album). Personally, I like all the live cuts of this song much more than the studio version. That.....is the power of Ronnie James Dio for you....
This was after Ronnie has fired Vivian Campbell and brought Craig Goldie in on guitar. Viv was an exciting player but often played beyond his capabilities and sounded off time in spots. Craigs playing was much more controlled, disciplined and in time.
Its just my opinion...but Viv was a much more tasteful player indeed. Cant take away anything from Craig for sure, but Viv was an integral part of that band..i remember being very upset when Viv was let go. The band members were not getting paid as they were promised. Viv had the balls to speak up and was unceremoniously kicked to the curb..then again Viv got into a million dollar gig with Def Leppard. Though its still hard to see Viv taking a back seat to Phil.
@GeorgiaGuyjlk No there isn't. We have seen the coming and passing of the embodiment of ALL that is metal. And for that we should be eternally greatful! RIP RJD
This song is crazy... Dio has to be the greatest singer ever for live performances.. Ever
Sitting here in my home in San Antonio missing Dio. Missing a God of rock n' roll. Rest in Peace Dio, we love you..
ABSOLUTELY !!!! When concerts were cool.... LEGENDARY front man and no sea of cell phones illuminating the crowd. Bring back the lighters !!!!
DIO FOREVER !!!!
From San Antonio with Love. RIP Dio and Jimmy.
thank you Dio for just being such an amazing performer. May your music live to inspire future generations of Metal heads
'The Voice of Metal' - gone, but never forgotten.
the best heavy rocker of all times
WE ROCK RONNIE r.i.p

For this for me, Ronnie is the best rock singer of all time.
Hello,
