You know whats amazing? Every live performance of Dio I hear, ronny does some bit of improv in the song and its different from what youve heard and yet at the same time, the whole vibe of the song never feels changed. Only he can sing something thats different and same at the same time. Im not sure if ive said this properly.
I’m 52 now and I remember when this was new. Love Ronnie man, love that dude ! Drinking some vodka and remembering the good old days when rock was rock. When I die I will see Dio in concert again.
As a musician, guitarist, and guitar tech for many artists in the past I can tell you that besides having the largest skull crushing vocals in a very small body Ronnie James Dio was a VERY intelligent, kind, intellectual, mannerly, and morally correct person. He had a thing for picking the best guitarists as far as rock song riffs go. Those riffs that turned into some of the best rock songs ever still give me goosebumps during guitar solo's. I must crank up the car stereo when I hear those songs as I go into a musical goosebump Oblivion. His vocals and lyrics were incredibal. He passed away before meeting again and after my last personal gathering with him, Iron Maiden and Metallica at Merriweather Post Pavilion in my state of Md after taking a few PRS Guitars for a few of the guys to try out. I will never forget how genuine, kind and down to earth he was. Just WOW as a person. No he was NOT satanic as some weirdos would have you believe. Also, if you didn't know that he was much older than most rock musicians I bet most are also unaware that Ronnie was in Do-Wop bands WAY back in early 1960's. Look it up on UA-cam/Google and listen to the vocal beast doing some lovey-dovey Do-Wop where he got his start. Amazing!! God Bless the "king of rock and roll" and may his legend never die!!!!!
In the early 1970’s I was a student at Bucknell University, which is located on the banks of the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania. The school had a strong Greek system and the students studied hard but enjoyed their weekends. My fraternity would host several big parties each semester featuring live bands. The highlight of each year was House Party Weekend. We would blow our social budget and hire Ronnie James Dio & The Elves from upstate New York to play at that party. Those performances became the stuff of legends. Ronnie James was awesome. He had no reservation playing an ultra high energy show in front of an enthusiastic group of 18-21 year old college students. We had a beer tap in our large party space that opened up to a big patio and he would stick around after his show and have some brew with the Brothers before packing up and driving north up US Route 15 back to New York State. He was a genuinely nice guy who sincerely enjoyed entertaining his audience no matter how small the venue.
That's why he ripped off his own band. Google and hear what vivan had to say about this. After Ron fired vivian camball, Ron pretty much didn't do a whole lot.
Let's not forget Vinny Appice on the drums. The power and tasteful pounding of truly a rock legend! Vinny added the punch to the band! It went right through you......
I played this on guitar and drum machine with the keyboard sampled on my BOSS sampler. It was a bitch to activate everyting on cue (the samples had to be perfectly timed w the drums) but of course worth it.
no click either id imagine that drummer is one of the best clicks youll find next to porcaro purdie carmine and a few select others like gadd and keltner
He’s living his best life man it’s like watching Rob Halford at the San Bernardino concert, he’s living it up giving 200% because he knows the band is right up there too 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@johnstrika9170 watched this again from your comment so thanks. You're right. that light show is phenomenal, stage is huge, and dont get me started on the pyro, smoke, and lasers. Compares to KISS in their prime, Maiden, and Floyd without a doubt!
The Voice of Metal!! It's unbelievable his voice sounds as well as it was on a studio record, not so many singers can perform as Mr. Ronnie James Dio, rest in peace
No Autotune, No Vulgarity, No shaking Ass. This is called Pure Talent and Energy. Metal singer's live voice exceeded their studio voices. Rio was something else.
Dio's feeling of his voice, breathing and body is amazing. So professionally. AND sooo much passion and love! I feel his message through years! The time doesn't exist for Dio's talent. Time doesn't exist when he is singing...
One thing about RJD, he ALWAYS had time for his fans. Never refused an autograph or spending time with them. Truly well spoken and intelligent, he's an oddity in the metal world. For a 5'4" vocalist, he was a powerhouse in the rock world. A true gentleman. RIP Ronnie.
April 25th, 2023, man i sure miss seeing him in concert. I'm almost 60 now & seen him at least 5 times since the early 80's. More times than any other big band. Always an excellent concert there was never a doubt after seeing him live you just knew you were going to be ROCKED!🤘🤘
Dio was for all intents a good man,a refined man and a gentleman. He was also generous in charity . My one regret in life is that I never got to see and hear him live.
Despite his flaws that some of you eagerly insist on providing for this forum..he was truly a gentleman. Human, with all of that painful, beautiful, ridiculous and merciful stuff we as humans acquire. I will take being privy to his music and words along with the bad. It's a fucking great deal. Thank God for Dio! Ironic you say? Have A cuppa tea, mate...sit your ass down. U know who u r
That little guy had more stage presence than anyone I ever saw. Only performer I ever saw who made EVERYONE in the crowd feel like he singled them out at some point during the show. RIP Ronnie!
Ronnie James Dio was somewhat of an anomaly and a contradiction in rock His voice was simply THE BEST....and He was considered by all to be a total honest, kind, considerate person and quite the gentleman..so I guess you could say he was one of a kind. He could knock your socks off You are truly missed by so many RIP dear man.
@@ironbassler747 ya he was a really big deal in the guitar player community. He had a cool style and phrased things in a different way then most of the guys at the time. He had a relentless attack that was cool. He gets accused of ripping Gary Moore off a lot but we all have our influences
From the moment he opens his mouth until the song is done. What a presence. Perfect every single time. DIO was truly the greatest vocals the Rock world has ever seen. RIP.
Everytime I watch this video it seems to get better. Vivian was only there a few year's but he was killing it with Dio. Dio has yet to be matched as a heavy metal vocalist. RIP 🤟
Ronnie was a cool dude.. This was one of the best perfomances Ive ever seen!! Wow!! and Vivian Campbell just Rocked!! What a band! Miss you Ronnie James Dio!! God rest your soul!
It’s rare to find an artist who can sound as good as Ronnie does live, he’s got the best rock voice EVER without a shadow of a doubt .... RIP RJD ...A true legend
@@gerardlezama6408 Mayhap Ronnie James Dio is among the best vocalist in rock.. but my vote for best ever?.. 1st Chris Cornell, Rob Halford second in this order...

Always a good morning with the master of metal himself, Rest in Peace Dio. Finally the after life is rocking with your voice soaring through the clouds.
Just listened to the studio/official video of this. His voice is actually stronger here, which for live is not typically what you will find! Not sure that he had limits. The power at that pitch is unsurpassed.
Happy Birthday to the Man on the Silver Mountain. You found your Rainbow in the Dark at the Gates of Babylon. RIP my friend, your music will live on forever!
Dio I was told by his fams personally gave great concerts dedicated to his fan and was charitable unheard of at the time he rocked rip ronnie we missed you rock on .
This song was my teenage angst anthem. Hell, these days it still makes me crank it up and channel my 80s angst Still recall telling my parents I am a rainbow in the dark.....
I remember being a teenager, Dio blasting through the speakers in my Mustang while moving at neck breaking speed. Such a great talent, time and experience!
That guitar solo!!
Vivian Cambell was Dio’s best Guitarist he left after an album or two and later joined bands White Snake and Def Leopard.

Probably the best metal vocalist of all time. RIP DIO...
Jason Cook Respectfully disagree. Dio is second to none in Heavy Metal.
You are very pretty
Zapiphire 1v1r yes you can . I am her father , you have my blessing.
Zapiphire 1v1r Tara Strong I love how he has an upvote.
Tara Strong Totally agree, next would be Rob H from Priest...
What a legend, sounds even better live than he did on his records, and his recorded vocals are amazing.
I just listened to all 10 albums and they are all great!
And a goddamn gentleman too
He always sounded amazing live. I was fortunate enough to meet him and see several of his shows. He was a very nice and gracious man
What a voice
Wow. He sounds flawless. It's so rare to hear anyone sound so true to the recorded version.
What a singer!
Sebastian Martinsson ill be the first response. I agree
You know whats amazing? Every live performance of Dio I hear, ronny does some bit of improv in the song and its different from what youve heard and yet at the same time, the whole vibe of the song never feels changed. Only he can sing something thats different and same at the same time. Im not sure if ive said this properly.
I know a few dokken, Ozzy, Cinderella (in the 80 and 90s before he messed his vocal cords up)
Outside of metal flawless and true to their records were prince, Michael jackson, culture club, pet shop boys, Whitney Houston, etc..
Almost forgot Metallica too
only Dio can make a song about rainbows freakin awesome
Only Ronnie could flub the lines and still make it work too. Love the sly grin he shoots Campbell (3:37) when he realizes what he just did.
No shit right, this shit still fucking rocks
Yeah absolutely! :D and...nice beard! ;)
Alfred Neumann thank you brother!
This is nothing. He made a freakin awesome band called Rainbow
Ronnie and Vivian both epic here. Guitar solo is badass.
No shit
Every time I hear Vivian play that solo I see him walking down a flute of stairs. So cool
I’m here to remind me what heavy metal vocals are supposed to sound like.
Amen!

What are they not supposed to sound like?
dio isn't heavy metal
@@unknownusert It sure is. What's metal to you?

Vivian, a pearl of 80's metal
Vivian Campbell is probably one of the most underrated guitarists of the 80's.
agree, not a fan of Def Leppard, they are lame, but Vivian was awesome with Dio and a little with Whitesnake
i think richie sambora too
+Bleach Dark lol def leppard lame? but whitesnake isn't ? do u have dirt in ur ears?
Dio in general in underrated!
Mike Forman dude...they may Be lame too, but the talent of the musician behind Whitesnake is uncomparable to def leppard. Glam is lame in general
Ronnie James Dio's voice was so strong that the band didn't drown them out
What I loved about Dio is that he was clearly always having an absolute whale of a time on that stage. It’s infectious.
Let's not forget Vinny Appice on the drums. The power and tasteful pounding of truly a rock legend! Vinny added the punch to the band! It went right through you......

Yes, he is in my top-4 also, along with Randy Rhoads, Zakk Wylde and Doug Aldrich. 80-s metal rules!

+Johnnralph thank you, i haven't known this til now
This song was my teenage angst anthem. Hell, these days it still makes me crank it up and channel my 80s angst
Still recall telling my parents I am a rainbow in the dark.....
True talent. Raw . No autotune. Live! Amazing RIP
I seen him in 85 didnt really know who he was but when the concert started I knew I was watching greatness.
Just wanted to say thank you Mr Dio for this song, for this is one of my all time favorite songs ever, May God bless you and your family!!
Sends a feeling of euphoria through me every time I hear it! I think it's the keyboards that put it over the top!
10 years since we lost DIO. RIP to one of the greatest vocalists of ALL TIME
I'm so thankful I grew up in the 80s and got to see DIO 3 times live. The best 10 years of my life
Who else got that close to their fand's, Birchhill in Old Bridge NJ 1 hell of a show.
Incredible vocalist. R.I.P. Ronnie.
The guitar solo here is of God! Vivian Campbell is from another Universe.
Ronnie was and will always be the only man to sing about magic, and rainbows and rock it !
I remember being a teenager, Dio blasting through the speakers in my Mustang while moving at neck breaking speed. Such a great talent, time and experience!
What a voice rip ronnie
