I don't understand people paying hundreds $ for concert of Rihanna etc, where they are often performing using playback but to be on Dio concert? I would sell my car just to be there

Heres what happened. In the old days artists toured to promote album sales. The tours werent intent on making money for the label or band. Just to sell records, the band members were paid a largely token wage for each show. Nowadays with everyone pretty much stealing music or downloading it for pennies, when a band tours the whole operation has to make money, and may be the primary source of income for the band, touring crew, and label. This is why you see $2-300 tickets for nosebleed seats to see marginal bands. In one year or two period, I guess around '84-85, I didnt miss a single hard rock/metal concert that came to the San Diego Sports Arena. Must have been about 20 a year of bands I liked, I had no problem buying the tickets that were IIRC about $22. You did have to physically stand in line sometimes for hours for a good seat the day they went on sale, tho the local scalping businesses might have great single seats at face value if you called an hour before the show. When Metallica stopped on the black tour that show was filmed for MTV and the footage was used for the sad but true and other videos. Epic show. I got a 17th row center single ticket from the agency right across from the arena, at face value, 10 minutes before the show. Cant do that now.

@@jessh8761 a friend of mine (original drummer for Bang Tango) was Vinnie Appices drum tech for almost 2 years around 1995, when Dio toured the US, Europe and Japan with Motorhead opening the shows in Europe. When they stopped here in san diego got to have a beer and a joint with ronnie on the bus, and sit in on sound check. Vinnie had the flu so my buddy actually got to play the sound check. Ronnie was even more friendly and humble than all the stories make him out to be. Made me feel like we had been old friends. I never met Lemmy but my buddy told me he was just as great as Ronnie was. A fountain of wisdom. They played at a small club then but I saw Dio on the last in line and sacred heart tours. Dont worry about what you think youve missed in the past, at your age youre entering the best time of your life, the moment that matters is now. Also the quality of sound and production are much better now. (If youve never heard of Bang Tango check out the Psycho Cafe album, its a classic. )

didn't he use that voice efffect on "hell" on later tours ? It's bad ass haha

Had this show on VHS. It captures so well the energy of the debut tour.Of course you can also get the ‘Spectrum’ show from ‘84 on one DVD nowadays.

no words. \m/

Well, that's a song with balls

Amazing performance. What a voice. R.I.P. Ronnie.

All those drums surrounding him and yet there is no second kick just kills me. The potential of Vinnie on a double kick breaks my heart that he was so closed off to the idea.

Vivian was the Best guitarist for Dio and if he had been recognized for his talented contributions to Ronnie's solo efforts and not fired Ronnie would've outlasted Ozzy

Vivian was like Dio's Randy Rhoads imo.

A comparison best avoided. Each has their strengths, its a good thing that "best" has so many definitions. On his best day Bruce could never match Ronnies range of emotions, his hard metal voice. On Ronnies best day he couldnt match Bruces enthusiasm or octave range, his mastery of vibrato. As a band, Maidens catalogue is much larger, their output in the 80s was insane. As a singer, Dios work encompassed 3 major groups, equally prolific. We can safely say if you had both bands backstage at their peak and someone tried to start a discussion of who was best, everyone in the room- artists, management, fans alike- would look at you like you were the stupidest person in the world.

Give Vivian a les Paul Deluxe modified by dimarzio super 3 and x2n in the bridge and the neck, respectively, and this is how it results in.. Can you believe that he only used a Marshall amph and 72 cabine, and only boss ds2 for solos. This man was born to rock..

Viv was a phenom... Came out of nowhere to be top of the industry. Id say he was more versatile than eddie, and didnt rely so much on gimmicks. Eddie was such an innovator but that really dated his sound for me. Recently got in a discussion online with someone trying to say EVH was light years better than Michael Schenker. Eddie had his tricks but I had to argue I hadnt listened to a Van Halen record in 20 years and saw no reason to again. However Im still listening to MSG. (Looking for Love, On and On, etc)
