  • Ronnie James Dio performing "Rainbow In The Dark" on a US late night television show, "The Rock Palace." I believe this was recorded very shortly after the release of the "Holy Diver" album.

      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.

    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.

    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

I know you gotta pay the bills, but.......anyway Vivian was an absolute master as well. Pick up the album, "The Last In Line" and have a listen to the guitar solo on the title track. If you play guitar, try and learn how to play it. It is one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard. Period.
