The musicianship of this incarnation of the Dio band is matched only by the classic original line-up of Dio, Campbell (RIP the TRUE guitarist he once was), Bain, Appice, Schnell (can't forget Claude!). The entire HOLY DIVER album plus TAROT WOMAN, SIGN OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS and GATES OF BABYLON?! -- this is truly a fantasy set for anyone who knows and loves the catalogue of Ronnie James Dio. Doug's guitar playing and choice of axe's for certain songs are simply genius. I'm not sure Rudy's deep tones fit 100%, but they do provide a deepness and richness that are welcome. It pains me to say this, but the only real disappointment in this one is Ronnie's voice. Not something I ever thought I would say! It's rather obvious this particular performance came at the end of a rather lengthy tour as RJD's vocals are thin and sometimes strained. Over all, though, for a man of is pushing 70 -- you will be hard pressed to find an equal.Read full review
Just the fact that you finally get a full live version of Tarot Woman and The Gates of Babylon, (...and without dio screwing up the words), makes this cd one of his best. Yes his voice is a bit deeper these days, so it does sound a bit different from the 1976 and 1978 versions, but he still sounds powerful and nails both of these songs. The rest was just gravy for me. A must for Rainbow fans.
all i can say is ronnie james dio is without a dout the best sounding vocalist in music today..this is an absolute must have cd..dios voice is as powerful as ever..both cds are excellent..ronnie has lost no vocal talent at all..this is a man that deserves respect..i hope they release this on dvd..rock on dio...a true metal master...
Hard Rock/Metal can't get much better than this! Awesome!!! Dio rules, as always. Well worth buyin'. Highly recommended to Classic Hard Rock/Metal lovers out there! The voice and the guitar are amazing = Dio and Doug! And the man himself is over 60! Enuff said!
great cd and live show, woulda loved to have saw dio live, he was such a nice guy, with a growl and screach that was awsome, all the way from elf to black sabbath, rainbow, dio, he killed it all ronnie is the man
