The ║ │ │║ stage make-up is a simple gothic castle looking ║ │ │║ arrangement with no laser shows, moving monsters ║ │ │║ or knights, or any of the high budget marvels ║ │ │║ that painted the visual presentation of the ║ │ │║ ôLast in Lineö and ôSacred Heartö tours. But in ║ │ │║ spite of the lack of a Hollywood looking ║ │ │║ performance, the sounds that are put forth match ║ │ │║ and sometimes surpass later live efforts. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ For Dio purists, Holy Diver will always remain ║ │ │║ the crowning achievement of RonnieÆs career ║ │ │║ outside of Sabbath and Rainbow, but for me it ║ │ │║ was the part of the rocket that gets out of the ║ │ │║ EarthÆs atmosphere. ItÆs probably not the best ║ │ │║ analogy because I donÆt think any Dio concert ║ │ │║ would be complete without a solid showing from ║ │ │║ his amazing debut, but the stuff on this album ║ │ │║ gets way too much attention at the expense of ║ │ │║ everything else. As such, I donÆt hold this ║ │ │║ concert with the same dogmatic reverence that ║ │ │║ many do, and donÆt like it any better or worse ║ │ │║ than all the other concerts he put to video. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ As was the case with the Philadelphia video of ║ │ │║ ôThe Last in Lineö tour, Vivian Campbell is as ║ │ │║ stiff as Lurch on stage. Even in comparison to ║ │ │║ Tony Iommi, who is not animated at all on stage ║ │ │║ but at least plays like he means it, Vivian just ║ │ │║ looks like he isnÆt feeling it the way the other ║ │ │║ 3 are. He plays well, ripping out his signature ║ │ │║ solos from ôRainbow in the Darkö and ôStraight ║ │ │║ through the Heartö with a few innovative ad lib ║ │ │║ moments, but basically stands back and lets the ║ │ │║ other members work on getting the crowd jazzed ║ │ │║ up. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The two best performances on here are ôStraight ║ │ │║ though the Heartö and ôChildren of the Seaö. The ║ │ │║ old Sabbath classic just never fails whenever ║ │ │║ itÆs played, and on this particular performance ║ │ │║ RonnieÆs voice is still capable of singing that ║ │ │║ soft intro without sounding gravely. The solid ║ │ │║ rocking riff monster from Holy Diver ôStraight ║ │ │║ through the Heartö is always a hit live, no ║ │ │║ matter who plays it, but Vivian handles it the ║ │ │║ best, save Doug AldrichÆs insane interpretation ║ │ │║ of it in more recent times. But the whole ║ │ │║ concert really is one big highlight in the long ║ │ │║ line of concerts on video in the metal world. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ My closing thoughts on this performance is ║ │ │║ merely this; this was RonnieÆs first test as a ║ │ │║ leader outside of an already established fold of ║ │ │║ musicians and he hit it clear out of the park. ║ │ │║ Even without the fancy stage show he owns the ║ │ │║ audience and brings them tenfold their moneyÆs ║ │ │║ worth. ItÆs bitter sweet to see him and Vivian ║ │ │║ on stage together and actually acting as the ║ │ │║ friends that they once were. Vivian was nothing ║ │ │║ before he hooked up with Dio, and he went back ║ │ │║ to that when he left, and the unfortunate truth ║ │ │║ is that for the past 15 years or so the nothings ║ │ │║ of the music world are given a bigger platform ║ │ │║ than the kings of the art. Nonetheless, ║ │ │║ unaligned fans of DioÆs music, along with all ║ │ │║ the others are encouraged to pick this up along ║ │ │║ with the Philadelphia ôLast in Lineö concert on ║ │ │║ the 2005 DVD release ôWe Rockö. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Intro [00:46] │ │ 02 - Stand Up And Shout [03:26] │ │ 03 - Straight Through The Heart [04:54] │ │ 04 - Shame On The Night [05:14] │ │ 05 - Stargazer [01:55] │ │ 06 - Viviam Campbell Solo [02:22] │ │ 07 - Heaven And Hell [12:50] │ │ 08 - Holy Diver [05:29] │ │ 09 - Rainbow In The Dark [04:43] │ │ 10 - Man On The Silver Mountain/Starstruck [06:35] │ │ 11 - Outro [00:18] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [48:32 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
