Yep, I'm a couple years behind you and i remember seeing his Sacred Heart show in Pittsburgh, it blew me away. His voice was incredible, never one like it before or since.
I was born in 86. Somehow I feel a connection to this. Maybe my parents played on the radio when I was a kid. RIP Dio. I hope you find whatever it is that's at the end of that rainbow.
Such an impact on a young, scared, girl, just left 10 years of abuse, walking streets alone, came to an open door of a small club, listened to this little guy, talking kindly to the crowd, then heard this AMAZING, HUGE, voice come out, you gave me a bit of strength that day, it came when I least expected it and needed it the most, had Goosebumps when my 24 yr old son picked me up yesterday and this song was on his playlist, listened loud, then told him the story, THANK YOU my friend, you were outstanding in every way.
@@cracktower3613 I'm very lucky to have passed by that open door when I did. So glad you've found something special as well. Ronnie was really genuine, it wasn't just a show. Calm is good 😁
Very true. Not only did he sing for decades, he sang with that rasp, something that vocal professionals still don't know how he did it for so long... We may never know...
Alice in Chains being my favorite band of any genre of all time, many don't or barely even make it to 24, let alone 44 or older. Though Ronnie never was corrupted like many become. He was always laser focused on his true love......making music for his fans. A love he had that was deeper than his love of life itself.
Saw Dio in 86 on this tour with Dokken opening up Ronnie James Dio is hands-down the best heavy metal singer of all time this was a badass show good times and good memories
I'll never forget the DIO laser spelled out in old English, turning upside down and reading DEVIL. Dio is "God" in Italian/Sicilian. Ronnie was Sicilian.
How can anyone deny that Dio is the best vocalist ever. Paired with Vinnie , Bain and Vivian, Can not be beat. Miss all of it. Never be another match-up like this
@@aynakotalaga I think you're right. Vivian was awesome but Goldy was hell on wheels, too. Edit: Yes, this is definitely Craig Goldy. Still killer, agreed! Anyway... besides the fact of the BC Rich Warlock guitar, I knew something was different about how the song was being played. It's right after Dio's "We are coming.... home!" Vivian definitely emphasized different parts of that rhythm guitar part than Goldy does here. It's subtle, and only lasts until the verse kicks in, but: Vivian trades off with the keyboards, whereas Goldy plays along with the keyboard part. I always enjoyed hearing that bit and was surprised when I didn't hear it in this video. Dio Last in Line (live) in 1984, with Vivian Campbell on lead guitar: th-cam.com/video/9q5S10dCHaE/w-d-xo.html
Back in the day when metal was a performance and frontmen like Dio put on a show and gave you your money's worth. He really is one of the greatest metal frontmen of all history. Ranks up there with Bruce Dickinson and Rob Halford. The highest caliber of heavy metal frontmen \m/ Keep the classic metal alive!
Unbelievable that someone can sing like this life, even better than in the studio. My generation was spoiled with the greatest rock legends, sad that nowadays we must watch them grow very old, or die too soon. RIP Ronnie!
so so so so true my friend, what the hell has happened to the kids today. their lost idiots because most parents phone it in. my parents would have beat my ass if i had come home listening to that rap shit. worst trash music ever made period. doesnt take any musical talent to make rap CRAP.
His voice: the best in metal history! But noboy talks about Vinnie Appice. This drummer is one of the best in the entire word. He made history with his fills. Dio deserved a drummer like him! I'm a drummer too and I am 18. He is my hero!
@@scottyjones4428 When I first started playing ('87ish) I got this instructional thing Carmine put out. Was like a book with one of those floppy records inside. He's excellent.
I am overjoyed to see a youngster give props to a guy who well deserves it. Carmine the legend, and his brother, the metal drum god, arguably the two most underrated drummers around.
I got to see DIO in San Francisco in 1999 or 2000. They played for what seemed like 2 hours, and Ronnie looked like he could keep singing all night. One of the best concert memories for me for all time. Long live DIO!
My god. I still can't believe I met this amazing man. Not only did he have such endearing presence on stage. He also had it off stage. One of the kindest, humbling soul's in rock history. I sit here tearing up, watching his performance. Rest well beautiful spirit. It was an honor speaking with you. 💝
Cool to see you in the comments here after watching my dad (billyjacksingletrack) sing a cover of rainbow in the dark! First time I've personally seen someone's comment on another video! I need to TH-cam more!
matt kolenda I did. Back when MTV had their basement hits series. Our band "Touch" from RI, won the contest for most original band. Ronnie got a hold of this and invited the band to his upcoming show in Providence. He sent several tickets to the band. I was dating the bassists brother at the time, so naturally, he invited me. I had no idea I'd end up back stage meeting this man. After Ronnie concluded his business with our little band, he approached me and said, "so I've been told you're from Greece"? "When we're you brought over to the States"? And this conversation lasted for a half an hour. Ronnie was highly into Greek mythology.
***** Lol Noora. Ronnie was about 5'4. I'm 5'6 so he was shorter than me. You never noticed his height. His intelligence and huge heart over powered it...
Dickinson, Dio and Halford are the Holy Trinity of Metal. Lemmy said he never considered Motorhead metal and Robert Plant was pure rock n roll and superb in his own right but I wouldn't consider him metal.
We are blessed to be able to hear the transformation in Ronnie's voice over the years. I go through many of his concerts to expand my Dio play list. Its like Christmas, forever.
Soy fan de Iron Maiden desde los 11 años... Dickinson tiene una voz extraordinaria....pero DIO...es de Otro Planeta!!! Escucho toda clase de música...y no encuentro en la historia del Rock un cantante como Ronnie.....RIP!!!!
Bien ahí bro, buen gusto, te recomiendo la banda Barren Cross con el álbum atomic arena , su voz es muy parecida a la de Bruce Dickinson , saludos. lml
Walking to school, small town, the seventh grade. Headphones on max, attempting to drown out the chaos, yelling and screaming reverberating still in my ears, from home. Dio and Rainbow in the dark saved my life. Nobody liked me in that school. It would have been nice even if just the teachers showed kindness. I remember feeling very ridiculed, feeling less than... but it didn't matter because I had metal. Metal said hey man you're cool. your alright and we're gonna have fun... to me anyway ...
@before120 I here you loud and clear! At one point I was in the hospital hoping my leg didn't get amputated as a direct result of the atrocities perpetrated upon me as a child! I left home at an early age and slept in my car that I was too young to own. 5 years later Headlining Madison Square Garden with my favorite singer performing songs that we wrote and recorded together!! Dreams Come True ! Things are not always as they seem! I hope things are better for you!! If not let me know, I've just been approved by the IRS for my 501c3 non-profit organization to be approved and maybe I can help you! Keeping Ronnie's ways with his fans alive!! God Bless You!! Let me know when you feel like it!!
My first concert ever. I was 16. Still remember most of it. Bought the DVD. Now I rekindle memories whenever I want, with kick ass sound. RIP Ronnie. A true Metal legend.
One of the greatest rock singers on the planet. All natural with no additives. The man was amazing. "Rest in Peace" Ronnie James. Your music will live on forever. One of a kind!!!!!!!!
Ronnie was just AMAZING! The only thing bigger than his voice and his presence was his heart. A true icon of metal. Love you always Ronnie. Still miss you greatly.
Dio was always very gracious and appreciative to the audience and I don't recall him cursing much if ever. What a class act he was, R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio.
DIO самый крутой рокер того времени...бесспорно. Я к сожалению, не был в то время еще при "этой жизни", но мне сейчас 33 и я восхищаюсь его творчеством! У меня мурашки пронизывают тело от такой музыки и голоса! Это шедеврально!
Hi Joan if this is really you ill be goin to see you in July here in Houston Texas with The Crue. Ive loved you since you first hit the scene in all black leather as a solo artist. Cant wait to see you live.
Seen him in concert in Louisville,Kentucky 1985. He said there isn't a lot of you out there but you make up the difference in loudness. By far the best concert ever been to. Great talent, good man gone too soon.
Proud to say that I saw him several times .The first time with Black Sabbath on the Heaven and hell tour then Mob rules tour and then his solo career. I've seen many metal bands through the years but Ronnie still remains one of the most powerful singers I've ever seen . RIP Ronnie we miss you 💔
Dio killed it...I saw Holy Diver, Last in LIne & Sacred Heart tours when I was younger. They were all legendary shows & I was lucky to be able to see him in his prime.
Ronnie's voice is even more amazing live! Rest in peace Ronnie. We are going to be blasting your stuff past 10. It is written: The last will come first and the first will come last. We love you Ronnie forever! We will know for the first time if we're evil or divine, we're the last in line!
For someone who is only 5 ft 4 inches Ronnie James Dio has commanding stage presence, much more than his taller peers. I wish I could have seen him perform live. That would have been an amazing experience. Rest in peace Mr Dio
Such a gracious performer, he really respected the audience. This little man brought Black Sabbath back, sang with Rainbow, and on his own, DIO. What a great voice. And for all this demonic and satin shit....listen to the lyrics. And see him interviewed on religion. God blessed him with a great talent. RIP Ronnie.........millions loved you.
Lol youngsters! Im nearly 68! Remember this tour well to say least. Still got me long hair n still going to gigs. Up the front, in the mosh pit hell i dont care. Dio, rate him as best front man ever. Rip legend.
saw him with Sabbath heaven and hell, and with DIO several times...wish I had seen him with classic rainbow. (I was at this show btw, that's viv, not Goldie
Metal never did get any better than this !!... Dio was the prototype of the heavy metal singer !! ..He was simply the best that ever stood behind the mike !!
Once in a lifetime legendary performer, 1st time i heard Dio (12) changed my life forever. I'm now nearly 50 and have heard so few who could even dream of matching him (without "trickery" that is ). RIP Ronnie
In tears here...61 yo. You will never ever see anything like this again.... Thank you RJD for the memories. What epic experiences these shows were in ATL....
Back when I was in HS, It may have even been this tour, we were going to a Dio concert. They had the line to get in set up so it wrapped around the building. Well, we got in line & me & my friends started chanting "we are the last in line" This got everyone at the end singing Last In Line. We eventually went around the corner & when we got close to the entrance & could see the end of the line again & everyone at the end of the line was still singing Last In Line. We laughed about that all night long. lol And I am still telling that story 30+ years later. lol The 80's were great.
RJ Dio opened his world tour with his new band "Dio" in Antioch, CA at the Concert Barn. After the show he took the time to write this on an Ernie Ball guitar string wrapper: "To me (first and last name), keep on singing. RJ Dio. I was a lead singer for a local band at the time. It's my most prized possession to this day. I met and talked with him before the show too. Just a down to earth, kind, gentle man. My idol. Keep on singing in heaven my brother. Rock on...
Met this man and his wife when I worked at the Holiday Inn next to Mile High stadium and McNichols arena in Denver. They were having breakfast after the show the night before (I worked that shift too, but never got to the concert). They had their very cute little kids and asked about places to take them not too far from the airport. Denver Zoo was close (Stapleton airport, not that mess that exists now). They were happy and left me a $100 tip. I was a bartender and only worked the Sunday brunch shift on occasion. Sweet, sweet people. RIP.
No auto tune, no backing vocals, just a huge talented voice. That's what rock is kids, RIP Ronnie
Hello , EDSZ of Brazil.Bye,bye.
Who needed autotune when you could conjour spirits and cast spells? Autotune was created by those afraid of magic and dark shadows.
Right the fuck on.
Whats wrong with backing vocals ?
Absolute
I'm 55 now, I remember these shows like they were yesterday. SO many truly talented, raw, pure performances by DIO and the rest. RIP Ronnie.
Yep, I'm a couple years behind you and i remember seeing his Sacred Heart show in Pittsburgh, it blew me away. His voice was incredible, never one like it before or since.
Same. I turn 56 tomorrow. I saw DIO in San Bernardino 3x in the 80's.
I went to this concert, got tickets minutes before the show… thank god I went.
Vivian Campbell 1 man guitar Loved this DIO ERA!!
This is how a Rock and Roll r=5th
Who is still listening to Dio in 2022?….I KNOW THAT I AM!!!!
Timeless
2024
Man, here in 2024 and lets hail to DIO!!!!!!!!
And in 24 still!
I’m here in 2024, good metal never dies, neither does the spirit of Ronnie or what he was all about!
seeing dio live during this time was just magical, his voice was just incomparable. and he maintained this level into his 60's.
I was there.
Saw him several times in San Bernardino, CA
It was epic every time.
Today's music can't hold a candle to this. What a voice!! RIP RJD
jingbee-1967 You got that right ! Long live Rock n Roll Dio was the best ! No one today holds a candle to that voice or talent
Dio was the definitive voice of 80's metal.
Rest in peace our metal brother.
@@MRBIKERFINGER so true, RIP RJDio
Dio was the best!
I was born in 86. Somehow I feel a connection to this. Maybe my parents played on the radio when I was a kid.
RIP Dio.
I hope you find whatever it is that's at the end of that rainbow.

for a youngster such as i, do you have any more recommendations?
@@connorkapooh2002 black sabbath with Dio... Mob Rules album
LAMO 😂🤣 I am 54 still love Dio .
Saw him in 85 maybe 84 can't remember
You ain't alone brother!
Notice that Dio NEVER sang no one note just for showing his voice. Every sound brings some emotion or meaning. Real artist.
He's already 44 years old here....the height of his solo career, Very rare you see this in music. Many at 24 couldn't keep up with him.
The highest you can go is only what you believe you can .
@@toddbushie1657 Sounds like you need better weed.

Maybe, the best singer of metal. We miss you, Dio!
Maybe? He is definitely the Best singer in Metal as far as im concerned.
Maybe??? Theres no maybe about the singing and the best therapist who ever lived
@@shawnmcqueen9782 the is ameasing
Indeed. The best. RIP Dio. 😪😪
Yeah Im going to side with the rest and say; MAYBE??? ARE YOU CRAZY? I don't think you are crazy, just had to say it 🤣.

I saw Dio with the Scorpions, I love them both, what a show🎉🎉😅
The greatest voice in Metal! But Geoff Tate from Queensryche is a close second!
I think this is Craig Goldy due to the Warlock. Vivian joined Whitesnake in ‘86. Still killer though!
@@aynakotalaga I think you're right. Vivian was awesome but Goldy was hell on wheels, too.

Unbelievable that someone can sing like this life, even better than in the studio. My generation was spoiled with the greatest rock legends, sad that nowadays we must watch them grow very old, or die too soon. RIP Ronnie!
Even sadder listening to modern day crap music like Regueaton 🤦
The very thought that we went from this excellent music to the youth of today worshiping thug rap music is beyond absurd SMH
The new generation are morons, they pay to see morons lip-synch 😅😅😅

Vinnie is good, but Carmine (his older brother)is even better...
Another excellent rock drumming: Steve Smith on the Journey album Captured. The albums round 1980 are the best.

The man had such power. Incredible metal vocal. Rest in pease.
@Lance Shepler Agree💯
One of the Legendary live vocalists. Dio sounds as good in person than on vinyl. True Legend.
I am still listening to dio I'm 2024 to years old turn it up
Goldy coming in with the guitar work at 3:10 is a great moment. The sound just fills the whole venue.
Dio is a legend
I got to see DIO in San Francisco in 1999 or 2000. They played for what seemed like 2 hours, and Ronnie looked like he could keep singing all night. One of the best concert memories for me for all time. Long live DIO!

Я всегда говорил и говорю-Дио это потолок в харде
Суппер, вот так надо петь, жить!!! Выкладываться, это не кироров и всякая шелуха, ДИО, вечная память! Он был святой, настоящий!!!
🤘🤝
Харашо братушка
DIO в одну линейку с киркоровым и шелухой сравнивать? Это не итично и глупо. Дальше можно не продолжать...
Seen him in concert in Louisville,Kentucky 1985. He said there isn't a lot of you out there but you make up the difference in loudness. By far the best concert ever been to. Great talent, good man gone too soon.
What a hell of a tour this was. Right up at the stage in Nashville, we miss you Ronnie.🤘🤘🤘
One of the BEST Vocalists in Rock....RIP Ronnie....
Proud to say that I saw him several times .The first time with Black Sabbath on the Heaven and hell tour then Mob rules tour and then his solo career. I've seen many metal bands through the years but Ronnie still remains one of the most powerful singers I've ever seen .
RIP Ronnie we miss you 💔
Спасибо Ронни,что оставил нам эту музыку!!!
Всегда живой!!! Вокал ---СУПЕР!!!
Dio killed it...I saw Holy Diver, Last in LIne & Sacred Heart tours when I was younger. They were all legendary shows & I was lucky to be able to see him in his prime.
Ronnie's voice is even more amazing live! Rest in peace Ronnie. We are going to be blasting your stuff past 10. It is written: The last will come first and the first will come last. We love you Ronnie forever! We will know for the first time if we're evil or divine, we're the last in line!
This has to be one of the most rock n roll medleys of all time!
For someone who is only 5 ft 4 inches Ronnie James Dio has commanding stage presence, much more than his taller peers. I wish I could have seen him perform live. That would have been an amazing experience. Rest in peace Mr Dio
DIO FUKN ROCKS!! and STILL KICKN ASS in 2018.. man I miss those pipes!!!
Such a gracious performer, he really respected the audience. This little man brought Black Sabbath back, sang with Rainbow, and on his own, DIO. What a great voice. And for all this demonic and satin shit....listen to the lyrics. And see him interviewed on religion. God blessed him with a great talent. RIP Ronnie.........millions loved you.
he admits hes not a satanist but he didnt deny it either back then.
@@ryanmcneila1957 Ronnie should be respected, take your hate somewhere else.
@@ryanmcneila1957 yeah you're the kind we want our world controlled by. You're disgusting.
The best very good, vocal biurifull the Word the best may Brothers
Front BRAZIL very best ,very good
I miss this dude so much.my soul left me when he did. Trying to get it all back
Lol youngsters! Im nearly 68! Remember this tour well to say least. Still got me long hair n still going to gigs. Up the front, in the mosh pit hell i dont care. Dio, rate him as best front man ever. Rip legend.
Even though those who don't enjoy metal have to recognize Dio's talent, one of the best to ever grace the stage. He is missed.
Imagine if he was on America's Got Talent or one of those singer shows!
Dio could be the best voice in metal. Thick and high at the same time. Powerful like a volcano.
DIO is METAL GODFATHER !
Trend Wave no. he is the metal god. it's his name.
saw him with Sabbath heaven and hell, and with DIO several times...wish I had seen him with classic rainbow. (I was at this show btw, that's viv, not Goldie
Guitarist here is Craig Goldy !
Rob Halford.....is the METAL GOD
Anyone know of an another artist that dedicates himself like this? A thing of beauty!
The Man is a Mith a Mystery, a Miracle he is Sunset Superman...my mentor and mayor vocal influence
dio singing ballad is just the most beautiful thing remind me of his pre rainbow days
Absolutely one of the greatest rock voices ever!!!!
So happy I got the chance to see this legend once before he died, awesome gig!
Ронни, вы легенда. Скорблю слушаю и мне снова 19 хард рок жив 56лет ,,фанату,,😈😈😈🤝
We love you Ronnie... You will never be forgotten!
Metal never did get any better than this !!... Dio was the prototype of the heavy metal singer !! ..He was simply the best that ever stood behind the mike !!
I got to see Dio twice that summer. So awesome, so talented, kick ass Rock N Roll! Can't hold a candle to this man. RIP RJD!
Once in a lifetime legendary performer, 1st time i heard Dio (12) changed my life forever. I'm now nearly 50 and have heard so few who could even dream of matching him (without "trickery" that is ). RIP Ronnie
I saw the same concert Tour back in 1986 in the Netherlands....awesome..
Legend of epic proportion!! what a voice, long live DIO and his dynasty !
Jawad Shamir Amen brother. Greatly missed !!!!
His dynasty is already dead. After all, he was the last in line :)
The best band that Dio ever had. The set designers must have watched This is Spinal Tap for inspiration.
The 80's, Lived It, Loved It, Miss It.
In tears here...61 yo. You will never ever see anything like this again.... Thank you RJD for the memories. What epic experiences these shows were in ATL....
Back when I was in HS, It may have even been this tour, we were going to a Dio concert. They had the line to get in set up so it wrapped around the building. Well, we got in line & me & my friends started chanting "we are the last in line" This got everyone at the end singing Last In Line. We eventually went around the corner & when we got close to the entrance & could see the end of the line again & everyone at the end of the line was still singing Last In Line.
We laughed about that all night long. lol And I am still telling that story 30+ years later. lol The 80's were great.
shananagans5 yes indeed Reagan Era
Dio had such powerful voice and great story telling lyrics
RJ Dio opened his world tour with his new band "Dio" in Antioch, CA at the Concert Barn. After the show he took the time to write this on an Ernie Ball guitar string wrapper: "To me (first and last name), keep on singing. RJ Dio. I was a lead singer for a local band at the time. It's my most prized possession to this day. I met and talked with him before the show too. Just a down to earth, kind, gentle man. My idol. Keep on singing in heaven my brother. Rock on...
Great Band grew up listening to you guys ty for giving me that opportunity to ride my wave 👋
Сильнейший вокал,царство небесное Рони...
Ronnie was such an incredibly skilled vocalist who sounded just as good or better live than in recordings. What an amazing singer we've lost!
This is real music real talent and no bullsh.t
Met this man and his wife when I worked at the Holiday Inn next to Mile High stadium and McNichols arena in Denver. They were having breakfast after the show the night before (I worked that shift too, but never got to the concert). They had their very cute little kids and asked about places to take them not too far from the airport. Denver Zoo was close (Stapleton airport, not that mess that exists now). They were happy and left me a $100 tip. I was a bartender and only worked the Sunday brunch shift on occasion. Sweet, sweet people. RIP.
