This is my youth. Every generation thinks theirs was best - hopefully, because it means they LIVED in their moments. To mine, Dio was all metal and all gentleman. I feel lucky to be of that era. May yours be as golden...
I'm Egyptian and 80s there was no internet no music stores even if you find one then it's only Arabian music. And one day I was like 11 years old my father (God bless his soul) gave me a tape and the cover was ( Pink Floyd. The Wall ). After listening to this album I knew I'm not the same kid. Told my father I will never ask for anything but just I need more music like this for my holiday. And then he used to take me and drive to another city like 80km every month to buy 5 albums I choose. And the store owner used to give me one more as a gift. What a memories. discovering metal and blues and rock was amazing. Now I'm a drummer for about 27 years
This man's voice is right there with Freddie Mercury's, 1 metal and 1 rock and roll. Dio was a legend in his own time. Such a massive voice from a small humble god.
Digital audio processing didn't exist in 1986? Well I never....... Oh, and yes, there were stems. There was a "front of house." How the hell do you think this recording exists? SO FUCKING SICK OF THESE TYPES OF COMMENTS. Thank you captain obvious! People who don't know any better aren't watching this shit, so the only people who read these types of comments are the ones who ALREADY FUCKING KNOW IT! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST MILK SOME MORE LIKES FOR ME!!!!!!
@@brucedickinson12 Vivian tells the truth in a video somewhere here on RUclips. Basically Ronnie was a pussy whipped bitch,his wife didn't want him paying the band what was owed to them so he fucked them. Karmas a bitch.
Yes Craig did and I will always think that he wanted to play with Ronnie and it wasn't just a job. Craig should be as well known as guitar player and for some reason he's not. This lineup is a musical force to be reckoned with. RIP Ronnie and Jimmy B.
Yeah a lot of music back then I didn't appreciate like I do now. Heck even stuff like Cindi Lauper. I was such a hardcore metal head I didnt realize how good so much of it was
No kidding . I'm glad I had a chance to see several of the greats in Rock and roll . My first concert was the Rolling Stones at 10 years old on their first "farewell tour" lol 😹 . I was slated to see Led Zeppelin but then Bonham died so I saw the Stones instead . I still have all my old ticket stubs minus a few and a few concert T-shirts including the first one from the 1980 Stones Jovan tour . Probably worth a few pennies on eBay I imagine but it's not leaving my sight .
How they ever put that much voice (and heart/soul) in to Dio's small body never ceases to amaze me. RIP Ronnie (ya little elf) , you're never forgotten, and always sorely fuckin' missed!
The little man with the big big voice. I saw him several times at large arena type venues and, several years later at a night club. In a small venue his voice just shot through the entire place. It did in stadiums too but not like the smaller venue. That's when I really realized he had diesel powered vocal cords. Just amazing!! At a stadium concert, the line was wrapped around the building. We got in line and started chanting "we are the last in line" About 1/2 hour later, we were up front and could see the end of the line again and everyone at the end of the line was still chanting. Good Times!! R.I.P. You earned it my man!
Saw him on this tour 86 and Dream Evil 88, the other many times where at complete sould out Clubs and Theathres, And 3 last times at Arenas with the H&H band! R.i.p Metal God🤘
Such an honour to say I got to see this man perform during the heaven and hell tour in 2007 I believe. At Sheffield arena England..... absolutely legendary by far the greatest metal vocalist of all time. 🤘🤘🤘
Seen Dio 3 x' at the Spectrum. I was there for this, my first time. His voice was truly amazing everytime.....and every tour I saw him (Dream Evil being the last) felt like an "out of body" experience. All us fans had were the devil horns, lighters and S-10 camera's, if you were lucky enough to sneak it in. We're the LAST IN LINE GENERATION!!! Todays kids have no idea 😁
You're right kids don't have a clue how good he was but I'm educating my son about the music of that era and he absolutely loves it. I just wish he would be interested in guitar so I could teach him but at least he's interested in drums . Not all kids are sold on today's pop culture or the rap or hip hop scene ... thank God 😸
Everything about this man was epic. His lyrics, his music, his vocals and his powerful spirit. Dude enhanced my life, that's for damn sure. Rest in peace, Ronnie!!
vergedrums I couldn’t say it better myself! Ronnie was a true game-changer in metal. His work ethic made everything he did so much better. It’s astounding to me that there are some that actually think Ozzy was a better vocalist than Dio! Ronnie was the man, and there is NO comparison! 🤟😎🤟
@@zefolantar The thing I really love about Dio is the inspiring nature of his lyrics. They got me through some VERY dark times in my life, and that will always mean a lot to me. Damn, it's literally making me tear up just thinking about it; and THAT is worth its weight in gold right there! That's what music should be about!!
Yeah John, I've been struggling with that realisation most of my life. I recently gave up booze and it actually made things much worse. I discovered that enbriating ourselves brings us back into the infinite ether, and we can, in even just a little way, become part of the magic that graced those times
I remember seeing Dio, Iron Maiden, Queensryche opening for Ozzy and a month later Queensryche opened for Metallica, all this in one summer. I live in Mobile, Alabama so acts would come to Pensacola, Fl., Biloxi, Ms, Atlanta and New Orleans and I could catch many shows 2 or 3 times. The early to mid 80's were the best time to be young enough to enjoy the hell out of it but old enough to drive where ever they were playing. I wouldn't give that up to have seen Woodstock. Oh, I almost forgot about Anthrax and AC/DC just after that summer near my b'day in Sept. Great b'day present that was.
The man and his message to this world transcends the ages ,his legacy is timeless, the humbleness, the awareness of human nature ...true gift to all of us
This is a ridiculously awesome performance. The whole band is beyond belief. In a world of posers and trite pop music. Thank you universe for this era of Rock and Roll!
🤘 I don't know if you were hit in concerts at that time look for an album called live evil Sheridan get a break till he cut two albums with Tony Iommi from Sabbath and that's what live evil DIO at his best 2O albums
Awesome group! Dio was the best vocalist. Vinnie Appice was the best drummer. Look at that drumset! Blows everyone elses away along with his ability. Saw them on the Last In Line tour in 1984 at the Spectrum. This is two years later, same place.
Last time we, Melissa and I seen Dio, we road to Baltimore Civic Center, think it was 1989, in a 73' Ford Maverick. The stage had the drums & keyboards on towers of Stone, the drums being say high as 16 ft.And from behind, arose a huge dragon with wings one end to the other of the stage. Eyes shot lazors from them at Dio doing barrel rolls cross stage to be missed. Was awsome show to attend. When we went back to the car someone had stolen our battery. So I had to swipe another hooked it up with two O-clams and a Strip of aluminum on the 1 wire they snipped. Dam if it didn't work, but my Girl that night was super pissed I did steal another battery. Know what? That babe married me not long after, and been together to this day.Tunded out to be a show for the ages. Thank you Ronnie. God & you blessed me that night for life. R.I.P. Brohand.
I was a huge metal head as a kid .My whole family went to the Mob Rules tour when I was 10 .I saw Black Sabbath twice with Ronnie on vocals and then another time after he went solo . He is sorely missed by so many people who appreciated his music .
He truly was above 95% of the singer's of that time, I suspect he had perfect pitch. His live performance sounds studio perfect. Truly as good as it gets in vocal performance.
John Douglas i can’t think of a single singer, especially from that time, that even came close to having the type of talent & technique, that Ronnie had yet he only makes your top 95%?!?! You’ll have to let us know the names of the 5% that you feel we’re better vocalists than Ronnie.
I miss you so much Ronnie, you were kind and such a great man. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I'll always love you and I'll never forget your kindness. Tears to this day, you were such a beautiful and humble soul.
I caught one of his last show of his life. I got some very memorable pictures unfortunately I lost them all when my home was foreclosed on and I became homeless. Ronnie lives for ever in the hearts of everyone who loved him and gives strength to his fans whom still love his work.
Craig Goldy on guitars saved the day for Ronnie while he was lookin for a guitarist after Viv Campbell was fired ..........RIP NEIL PEART of RUSH, you will be missed immensely. You brought Rush to the Limelight with your lyrics and Mastery of the drum kit ! A Farewell to a King !
Craig Goldy is one of those extremely talented extremely underratted 80s guitarists that have long been forgotten, they probably met during the making of Stars.
@@scarabonyx3565 According to an interview with Craig Goldy : Ronnie sat in on an audition for Craig Goldy trying out for a band named Rough Cutt: We became friends and learned that we worked really well together. One day he looked at me and said, “If it ever doesn’t work out with Vivian Campbell, you'll be my first choice." So that's how that whole thing happened. I knew he was a man of his word, but I didn't sit around with voodoo dolls of Vivian or anything [laughs]. I was in Giuffria, and that went really well.
Que grande fuistes y lo sigues siendo con esa maravillosa discografía que nos dejastes,todos los días te escucho,.ere el DIO,,S.del heavy...D.E.P...R.J.DIO..🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is the tour when I saw Dio the first time at Pabellón La Casilla in Bilbao (Euskadi,Spain).Great Memories !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
The Last In Line" We're the ship without a storm The cold without the warm Light inside the darkness That it needs, yeah We're a laugh without tear The hope without the fear We are coming, home We're off to the witch We may never, never, never, come home But the magic that we'll feel Is worth the lifetime We're all born upon the cross We're the throw before the toss You can release yourself But the only way is down We don't come alone We are fire, we are stone We're the hand that writes Then quickly moves away We'll know for the first time If we're evil or divine We're the last in line, yeah We're the last in line Two eyes from the east It's the angel or the beast And the answer lies Between the good and bad We search for the truth We could die upon the tooth But the thrill of just the chase Is worth the pain We'll know for the first time If we're evil or divine We're the last in line, yeah We're the last in line, oh Yeah, we're off to the witch We may never, never, never come home But the magic that we'll feel Is worth a lifetime We're all born upon the cross You know we're the throw before the toss You can release yourself But the only way to go is down We'll know for the first time If we're evil or divine We're the last in line, oh We're the last in line See how we shine We're the last in We're the last in We're the last in We're the last in We're the last in We're the first in line, oh We're a ship without a storm We're the cold inside the warm We're the laugh without tear We're the smile without the mirror We're the last in line We're the last in line We're the last in line See how we shine We're the last in line

I hope his Music Live’s on Forever! For now, and in The future , white The Music he make’s. For my he is a Hero ! RIP RJDio! I don’t forget You! Every day I start upp white a RJDio Song! 🤘❤️ Long live Rock and Roll🎼🎸🎬 And All You RJDio fan’s! ( I am from The Nederlandse so myn Engels is not so Good, excuus me)
I was only lucky enuff to see DIO or any form of DIO 3 times. 2 of his shows he sang, "The Last In Line." Each show when he sang out - "We are coming - - - - HOME." OMG, the rafters shook, everybody in attendance knows that part and they all sang out - HOME !!!!!! Better than 20k people all in sync with DIO, shared his experience and ROCKED the house!!!!!
I've only had the opportunity to see Ronnie live once. It was in the early 90's in Seattle when he was with Black Sabbath. All I can say is. For a humble little man off stage as he was. Hand him a microphone with a hard rocking band behind him, and this cat ain't fooling around. He is over the top awesome vocalist, and performer as well.
It’s kinda crazy now that I’m in my late 40s and watch this amazing footage I don’t understand why I wasn’t a bigger fan of DIO in my younger years! This shit is epic! I guess I was too hung up on the mainstream hair bands at the time! Just watching this bad ass concert footage makes me so freaking wish I woulda caught a Dio concert back in the day! Thank the powers to be for RUclips!🤘🏻
David Trevino Well we all know who the fool is with that looser comment! It’s OK, go back in your parents basement and shut the F up! It’s comical when clowns like you try to act cool acting like a TOOL!
While I wasn't able to catch him in the 80's, I was able to watch him open open up for Iron Maiden back in 2003. It was Motörhead, Dio, Maiden...what a bill that was!
@@fv1005 Nice!!! Interestingly, my first ever concert was Iron Maiden at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin-but close to Chicago in August 1983! Interestingly, ex-Motöhead "Fast" Eddie Clark's band, Fastway opened up!
First time I saw him was with Sabbath in 1980. The last time was his last tour with Heaven&Hell. I saw that tour with Maiden and Motorhead. Jacobin777 is right. Awesome show!
Not that I’ve ever been a huge Dio fan, but this is some amazing live footage! Last in Line is a cool tune! And this is back when live concerts were freaking bad ass!
I saw them in El Paso, it was Dec 31 1984, sold out. Best show ever, pure quality. I saw almost all the great bands but no one compared to Ronnie, he was comitted 💯 ever. Rest in Peace.
This guy Dio was an underrated musician. Any genre to me Dio was one the best vocalist, singer, rocker, heavy metalist, and gentleman ever. We are all lucky to experience his talent forever.
so lucky to have seen him live. Saw him in the mid-90's when metal was relegated back to the underground venues because Grunge and Alternative were ruling. Saw him at JAXX in Springfield VA...little hole in the wall...held maybe 300-400 people. WOW! He played with the enthusiasm like it was 1986 and in an arena . Also seemed to have that much sound pumping out. I'm pretty sure I lost 25% of my hearing at that show! :-0 He ROCKED and will forever be missed. RIO - RJD! Hey....don't forget what an amazing guitarist Vivian Campbell was...and the fact he was very instrumental in why the Holy Diver and Last In Line albums were so great. RJD was an amazing front man. But those hard driving riffs were Vivian Campbell.
I saw dio at Cincinnati gardens Cincinnati Ohio.. a few years after " the who" concert tragedy in Cincinnati Ohio.. again saw DIO in Cincinnati fifth third arena.. I took a new GF to check out Ronnie James dio she was younger than me and she was just amazed at dips smaller stature and yet how powerful his voice was she was in total awe lol.. not me... RJD the legend and his music will live forever!
Saw Dio in Houston 1986. One of the best concerts I've been to. At some point people in the upper promenade were throwing holy water on us sitting below. I didn't burst into flames. Fast forward 2022, never turned into a demon. Think we are aware if you hold the album (yes, album) upside down Dio spells Devil. It's a concert for crying out loud where you go to forget life for a few hours. RIP Ronnie.
Saw this tour in Providence RI, as we were stationed at Ft Devens, MA. I believe Accept opened. Dio was definitely into the theatrical stages, and put on amazing live shows!

That's true
Still, not the Golden Age of Leather.
No tracks, autotune or melodyne just raw talent live.

Ronnie James Dio was more than a frontman, He was a Singer and Vocalist and Interpreter! Ozzy just a front man in my opinion! Dio was Everything!
SDS 4life RJD was a unbelievably talented rock singer Ozzy was nowhere near him
Man, those drums are thunderous
Vinny and Carmine Appice were underrated drummers!!
C Sanchez underrated, yes. Underappreciated, no! Ask any serious metal/rock drummer and you'll hear the best they have to say!
Yes, like Dio's voice!
@@pmaraujo 👍👍
Listen to digitalRecordings this time for Example Slayer!their drumsound sux.
Vinnie killed ! Amazing
Amazing ! I can only imagine going to a DIO concert in the 80's i was only 11 yrs old in 1986 , but what a voice he had, damn !
When I saw Dio I was so close to the stage and was giving Ronnie the horns sign and he just smiled at me. It was great! What a performer!
Какой все-же он был, супер. Лучший The Best!
What a great live concert... amazing...
I caught one of his last show of his life. I got some very memorable pictures unfortunately I lost them all when my home was foreclosed on and I became homeless. Ronnie lives for ever in the hearts of everyone who loved him and gives strength to his fans whom still love his work.
Craig Goldy on guitars saved the day for Ronnie while he was lookin for a guitarist after Viv Campbell was fired ..........RIP NEIL PEART of RUSH, you will be missed immensely. You brought Rush to the Limelight with your lyrics and Mastery of the drum kit ! A Farewell to a King !
Wendy got Vivian fired for the crime of wanting to be paid fairly. She was an extremely dominant manager. Wendy and Sharon, two peas in the pod.
Craig Goldy is one of those extremely talented extremely underratted 80s guitarists that have long been forgotten, they probably met during the making of Stars.
@@scarabonyx3565 According to an interview with Craig Goldy :
Ronnie sat in on an audition for Craig Goldy trying out for a band named Rough Cutt:
We became friends and learned that we worked really well together. One day he looked at me and said, “If it ever doesn’t work out with Vivian Campbell, you'll be my first choice." So that's how that whole thing happened. I knew he was a man of his word, but I didn't sit around with voodoo dolls of Vivian or anything [laughs]. I was in Giuffria, and that went really well.
He was the last from the Golden days of metal whom left us..
SoloRide ZX what about Rob Halford he is still alive
He was the last in line
Muy afortunados los que pudieron disfrutar de este evento, algo único en la vida Dio Rules
This is true music and a music genius !! Rip Ronnie we miss u !!!
Que grande fuistes y lo sigues siendo con esa maravillosa discografía que nos dejastes,todos los días te escucho,.ere el DIO,,S.del heavy...D.E.P...R.J.DIO..🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is the tour when I saw Dio the first time at Pabellón La Casilla in Bilbao (Euskadi,Spain).Great Memories !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!
Just a Fantastic voice.... Eternal Dio
You have to admit, this man had a GREAT voice...!
The Last In Line"
We're the ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness
That it needs, yeah
We're a laugh without tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming, home
We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never, come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth the lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down
We don't come alone
We are fire, we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line
Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies
Between the good and bad
We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line, oh
Yeah, we're off to the witch
We may never, never, never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
You know we're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way to go is down
We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, oh
We're the last in line
See how we shine
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the first in line, oh
We're a ship without a storm
We're the cold inside the warm
We're the laugh without tear
We're the smile without the mirror
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
See how we shine
We're the last in line
Смотрю и душа плачет по тебе наш единственный и лучший.как нам тебя не хватает!!!!!!!!!земля тебе пухом.наш ДИО.!!!!!
El mejor de los mejores. Dio con mayúsculas en la historia de la música.

I was there front row right in front of Craig for this show. It was amazing!
I was only lucky enuff to see DIO or any form of DIO 3 times. 2 of his shows he sang, "The Last In Line."
Each show when he sang out - "We are coming - - - - HOME."
OMG, the rafters shook, everybody in attendance knows that part and they all sang out - HOME !!!!!!
Better than 20k people all in sync with DIO, shared his experience and ROCKED the house!!!!!
I've only had the opportunity to see Ronnie live once. It was in the early 90's in Seattle when he was with Black Sabbath. All I can say is. For a humble little man off stage as he was. Hand him a microphone with a hard rocking band behind him, and this cat ain't fooling around. He is over the top awesome vocalist, and performer as well.
Sadly missed but will never ever be forgotten rip 🤘🤘🤘🤘
It’s kinda crazy now that I’m in my late 40s and watch this amazing footage I don’t understand why I wasn’t a bigger fan of DIO in my younger years! This shit is epic! I guess I was too hung up on the mainstream hair bands at the time! Just watching this bad ass concert footage makes me so freaking wish I woulda caught a Dio concert back in the day! Thank the powers to be for RUclips!🤘🏻
I liked some Dio back in da day but his quality of players, sound, and voice are top notch.
Sorry to say, that you don't what you missed
Hey Chad wanna blow your mind? Look up Ronnie Dio and The Prophets and The Red Caps.
Because you
Were a Fool. Why else.? ITS OBVIOUS BABOSO.. NO EXCUSES..... FUCK YOU... POSER...
David Trevino Well we all know who the fool is with that looser comment! It’s OK, go back in your parents basement and shut the F up! It’s comical when clowns like you try to act cool acting like a TOOL!
Probably one of the most underrated singers of metal ever
The BEST singer in heavy style
Probably one of the most overused terms on RUclips..."underrated." Ronnie James Dio is nowhere near being one of the most underrated metal singers.
Dio is in no way underrated. Get a dictionary for christ sakes.
@@daves4645 Exactly ! Underrated my ass, kids these days, they just don't know. Common sense seems to be out the window these days.
jmb 1970 Nonsense, even my wife appreciates his voice
This is like watching Shakespear, total art.
Greg Goldie was one of the best to play in this band!
Incredible voice, how we miss him😞
Perfect live performance! What a voice!!
My hometown...Philly the Spectrum was the place to rock!
Your The Last in Line!
Sea how we shine!
Awesome looking stageset...Dio !
Nothing screams metal like DIO!
While I wasn't able to catch him in the 80's, I was able to watch him open open up for Iron Maiden back in 2003. It was Motörhead, Dio, Maiden...what a bill that was!
DUUDE!
Yes! My second concert ever 😍 August 13th 2003 Smirnoff centre Dallas
@@fv1005 Nice!!! Interestingly, my first ever concert was Iron Maiden at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin-but close to Chicago in August 1983! Interestingly, ex-Motöhead "Fast" Eddie Clark's band, Fastway opened up!
First time I saw him was with Sabbath in 1980. The last time was his last tour with Heaven&Hell. I saw that tour with Maiden and Motorhead. Jacobin777 is right. Awesome show!
@@Tikki-cy1wk I was a bit too young to see them in 1980 but I've seen some videos of that tour and you are one LUCKY person!
This is the Best Live Dio Concert Ever!!!.,I will always Love You My Dio!!!!.,You will Forever be My God!!!.,R.I.P. my Angel. 😍💖🤘💖😍
I just can't think of any better metal singer than Ronnie James Dio. He made it sound so easy and natural. What a singer he was!
Ultrasupra back to basics
Geoff Tate from Queensryche.
(Maybe)
But hes up there
Egal mit welchen Musikern, er ist der Beste 🤘
WHAT A GIG.. .. WE LOVE YOU DIO. R I P !!!
75. it's 2020 listening solidgoldivan
I can't believe how young Craig looks. Looks fresh outta Guifria.
what a voice. wow.
1982 Manchester Apollo,I was only 16 so i experienced all the 80s and early 90s amazing music
The biggest voice in the kindest man....RIP
Dar natury, zakres głosu 5,5 oktawy!
Unas de las mejores alineaciones del heavy metal
Not that I’ve ever been a huge Dio fan, but this is some amazing live footage! Last in Line is a cool tune! And this is back when live concerts were freaking bad ass!
Every time I saw Dio, I ended the night drained and recharged at the same time.
When DIO says look out....you better do so!! It was majestic and epic and raw and as real as it gets!!
You were the best Ronnie, rock on forever brother you are sadly missed but never forgotten
I saw them in El Paso, it was Dec 31 1984, sold out. Best show ever, pure quality. I saw almost all the great bands but no one compared to Ronnie, he was comitted 💯 ever. Rest in Peace.
This guy Dio was an underrated musician. Any genre to me Dio was one the best vocalist, singer, rocker, heavy metalist, and gentleman ever. We are all lucky to experience his talent forever.
Saw Dio in Bakersfield ca two times in the early 80s back when I was in high school. Those were some magical times.Dio had a voice of a God
so lucky to have seen him live. Saw him in the mid-90's when metal was relegated back to the underground venues because Grunge and Alternative were ruling. Saw him at JAXX in Springfield VA...little hole in the wall...held maybe 300-400 people. WOW! He played with the enthusiasm like it was 1986 and in an arena . Also seemed to have that much sound pumping out. I'm pretty sure I lost 25% of my hearing at that show! :-0 He ROCKED and will forever be missed. RIO - RJD! Hey....don't forget what an amazing guitarist Vivian Campbell was...and the fact he was very instrumental in why the Holy Diver and Last In Line albums were so great. RJD was an amazing front man. But those hard driving riffs were Vivian Campbell.
I saw dio at Cincinnati gardens Cincinnati Ohio.. a few years after " the who" concert tragedy in Cincinnati Ohio.. again saw DIO in Cincinnati fifth third arena.. I took a new GF to check out Ronnie James dio she was younger than me and she was just amazed at dips smaller stature and yet how powerful his voice was she was in total awe lol.. not me... RJD the legend and his music will live forever!
Saw Dio in Houston 1986. One of the best concerts I've been to. At some point people in the upper promenade were throwing holy water on us sitting below. I didn't burst into flames. Fast forward 2022, never turned into a demon. Think we are aware if you hold the album (yes, album) upside down Dio spells Devil. It's a concert for crying out loud where you go to forget life for a few hours. RIP Ronnie.
Альбом 84 года.. The last ln line.. Dio красавчик!!! Помню был это альбом.. Кстати записанный на akai 77.. Качество обалдеть..
Saw this tour in Providence RI, as we were stationed at Ft Devens, MA. I believe Accept opened. Dio was definitely into the theatrical stages, and put on amazing live shows!
RIP Dio. you had a wonderful voice and made some really good albums. I won your greatest hits and play it a lot.
Amazing Voice 👌
