Saw RJD as the lead for Elf in '73, opening for JGeils, with Purple as the headliner. My buds and I were BLOWN away by Dio---his voice, stage presence, etc. Let me tell you: He was ALL that and a bag of nuts, even then. We KNEW we were witness to a legend-to-be before he hit it big. That was really cool. Also saw The Police the week that their first album was released, in a little bar in Ft. Lauderdale. It's nice to be "ahead of the curve", at least on a couple of things ! :=) Peace !
Saw them on the original "Heaven and Hell" tour.....Awesome !!! Dio is what ? 137 years old ?!?!?! I first saw him with "Elf" open for Deep Purple in '73........(oops! now I'm dating myself !:P) He's STILL belting it out !! Peace:-)
Very nice! Much closer and with far better sound quality (no distortion) compared to my filming of the same song at Wembley Arena in London (see my channel).
I was right next to the guy who screamed "DIE!" when Alice Cooper hung himself. It was great. I was freezing.. I should have bought a $200 jacket, lol.
