First off, A MASSIVE THANK YOU to *Huddel* for his generosity in allowing this fantastic disc to be posted here in tribute to the late, great R.J.D. Thank you so much for this, Huddel.

This is a killer bootleg from Dio's 1983 U.S. Tour. The sound quality is very good. Personally, I think it's BETTER than very good, but I'll under promise and over-deliver for the cranky bastards on this site always looking to criticize.

There may be better boots of this tour somewhere, but I have yet to find them. If you have some, please share. In the meantime, I believe this offers a great snapshot of Ronnie at the peak of his powers. Great set list, the band is tight, the guitar playing shreds, and Ronnie's voice is spectacular.




Late one night in 1980, watching our primitive cable box, I stumbled across a promo concert video of RDJ with Sabbath on the "Black and Blue" Tour performing "Die Young". It absolutely floored me. I'd never seen anything like it. It was my introduction to Heavy Metal and I was never the same after that. Metal became my favorite music, the soundtrack to my high school years. Thirty years on, I'm still cranking metal every chance I get -- without apology. I believe it's every bit as good and lasting and fun today as it was way back when. And Ronnie's work was a big part of turning me onto this music.

That's why I'm so glad to be able to share this small gem with all of you.



Cheers, Ronnie. God Bless you for all the music you shared with us and brought into our lives.
