Found this clip it's from a '84 festival in Holland (called 'Pinkpop') and never saw it before.
Im recently in a sort of Dio revival. What a great band that first Dio line-up was! One of the best ever!

Here another one from '84 in Hollywood:

Rainbow in the Dark and Don't Talk to Strangers are GREAT songs, especially when played LOUD!!!

I tend to prefer Dio with Rainbow and Sabbath, but his first 'Dio' lineup was pretty good.

Indeed, that first clip I posted has to be played LOUD!

Hi Patrick

Me and Suzie saw them in London a few months back and they were fantastic.

I read recently that Vivien Campbell didn't rate his playing in this era as he found it wreckless/too angry, I thought it was superb

Thanks

Matt

Hey Matt, he must be brainwashed by those Leppard guys, it has to.....

Saw Dio with Graig Coldy and Rudy Sarzo few years back, great show, but for sure I wished that Vivian was there!
