i plan on getting this the day it comes out. I will then drink massive amounts of locally produced beer while I watch it.

Awesome news - and on blu-ray too!

Like the Beat of a Heart is such a wicked song - I love this guy!!

I was going to say the same thing...LTBOAH is an awesome song, one of Dio's best. Glad it's included here.

Well, for lack of anything better to release, I suppose this will keep the memory alive.

Love RJD,thought the song Doro wrote from him was touching. But god i hate medley's,and this has two of them.

Finally the full setlist! About damn time, this I will buy. Now give us a full concert from the Dream Evil tour.

\m/ DIO & Goldy \m/

Dio's punchin the dragon in that photo. They should release a dvd from the dream evil and lock up the wolves tours. Sacred Heart is great but they already have that sacred heart video out. why release another from the same tour?

awesome news... looking forward to it.

shame about the medleys alright - those are songs that deserved to be played in their entirety!

I sure wish that there was a video with Vivian Campbell, though. That was the epic show I remember.

There is! It's called DIO "We Rock"

I saw both the Sacred Heart and Dream Evil tours. The Dream Evil tour is wrongly neglected. I know there is some high quality footage filmed at San Antonio, TX for a MTV Head Banger's Ball episode out there somewhere. Would love to see a full release of that show. A high quality live audio release from the Dream Evil tour would truly be appreciated by the fans too. This would sell much better than repackaged releases from the Donnington shows. Wendy was supposed to finish and release Ronnie's autobiography as well. Would definitely pay for a book about the man penned by the man.

Going to get it for DVD and CD.

M U S T H A V E !

1st day buyer for the blu ray.

Yes a Dream Evil and Strange Highways tours show would have me pushing kids and old ladies over on the way to the store.

Can't wait to have this in my collection. The Spectrum was a kick ass venue saw many concerts there. Sucks it's a parking lot now

I saw this tour at UIC Pavilion Chicago. Rough Cutt opened. It kicked ass.
\m/

but can anyone point me to an official Dio video, if one exists, with Viv Campbell on guitar?

no debates on the guy, i get 98% of the people here hate him, just tell me if there's an official vid from the first two tours please.

there is, and its also from the spectrum in Philly. I would know, my old ass was there. Twisted Sister opened. Search dio live at the spectrum, 1984. Its on youtube as well.

My friend has this on VHS. He's always going on about how great that guitarist is, I personally think he's "just okay".

Vinnie gets a cut $$$$.

On blu Ray

I lived a few blocks away from the Spectrum for 15 years. I attended this gig, and his previous two gigs at the Spectrum. Accept opened up for this Dio EP Intermissions abbreviate tour. It was a hell of a double bill. I recall one of the ushers at the Spectrum, who befriended me, chronicaly stereotyping and judging the crowd as scumbags and junkies.Well, some were lol...but not all. I always remember the most trivial details from gigs decades ago Maye because I was not into the wacky weed, etc. Anyway, this gig was very memorable for me. I recall it begin filmed, as there were various professional cameras about the stage and spectrum. Then again, Spectravision was new then, where the spectrum provided the artist performing live prod in real time footage. Perhaps that footage from the Spectrum cameras was utilized for this DVD. I will defiantly purchase this on DVD and CD. I sat right near the stage, left side, first level, great seats!!! I still have the tour book and t shirts from both Dio and Accept from this particular gig. I was 16 at the time, and living the metal dream lol...yeah whatever, right...cheers!

about the spectrum gig.

I mean how different are they. I prob. won't shell out 15 bucks for this if it's only a little different than the SACRED HEART DVD that I already have and like.

If you don't have it, this is a great stage show, for sure!

there for this show at Alpine Valley,Wisconsin. It was Heavy Metal parking lot times 5. Beautiful summer day with alcohol and party favors to the extreme. Epic concert. Absolutely one of the great metal tours of all time. And to Icarus21 I do own that particular Headbangers Ball on the Dream Evil tour. That was another fantastic tour with Ronnie pulling out all of the stops.Long Live Dio!
