5.0 out of 5 stars The guy below is full of it., September 17, 2001

Look people, this cd is live. No live CD captures the experience
of actually being there. No, not even KISS : Alive 1 - 100.
I'm a teenager who is constantly surrounded by rap and other
musical garbage, yet I listen to what my dad did when he was
my age. I know good music. This CD is a great Dio album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Live Album, January 16, 2007

This is a sprawling two disc live set that if nothing else proves that at the end of the century Ronnie James Dio still has some of the best set of pipes in the business. The album was recorded on the "Angry Machines" tour, but looks back on his career with Rainbow, Sabbath and Dio. In fact he even throws in a cover of Deep Purple's "Mistreated", a song that he used to sing with Rainbow although it was not a Rainbow original. Probably my all time favorite Dio related disc is Rainbow's live "On Stage" album in which Ronnie totally won me over as a vocalist. This is not on a par with "On Stage", but it is a very strong live album. Most of the tracks are classic Dio with only one song from the "Angry Machines" album. In addition he performs Sabbath tunes "Heaven And Hell", and "The Mob Rules". There is also a surprising amount of Rainbow material with "Long Live Rock N Roll", "Catch The Rainbow", and "Man On The Silver Mountain" all represented here. On the down side there is a rather lame drum solo by Vinnie Appice, and a guitar solo by Tracy G. that is overly long, but for the most part the Dio band is tight and on the mark. The sound quality is also very good. All in all this is a very nice live album from Mr. Dio and company.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still the most powerful voice in rock!, December 10, 2002

I remember back in the day (83 or 84') and Dio came through the southern Cal area and only had time to play one show at the Santa Monica Civic center because of his tour schedule. Well the show sold out the first day, and a lot of people at my high school were pretty dissapointed because Dio was just coming off his incredible, legendary, and magical string of Rainbow, Black Sabbath and solo "Holy Diver" success and was considered the most powerful voice in rock at the time. This would of been the first chance for many of us to actually experience what his voice sounded like live and to see if it was as powerful as his legend. To everyone's amazement he decided to throw in a second show on the same night! Anyone who has ever been involved with music will tell you that singing through an entire show is a feat in itself, but to make it through two full shows with the intensity and vocal gymnastics that it takes to sing Dio's catalog would practically be imposible. So the drama built and half the high school had tickets to the first show and half for the late second show. Needless to say, this night went down as musical legend around my parts in sourthern Cal and at my high school. Dio blew all who witnessed away with two full shows consisting of songs from Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Holy Diver. His vocals absolutely floored everybody and kicked everyone's ... by all accounts. His band consisting of Appice, Bain and Campbell ripped it up and were incredibly tight. Point being, they don't make rock n roll like they did back then period! Today's cheap imitations and rehashed commercialized ... is a joke! If your lucky enough to catch a living legend that can actually still do it as well as this man can, then get off your ... and go see him for yourself. If you can't make that happen then at least treat yourself to a brief glimpse of the power that once was and get this little piece of ear candy. The Hawk
