When they ║ │ │║ decided to stick together for a tour, it was a ║ │ │║ monumental moment, and on said reunion tour ║ │ │║ grown men were spotted crying at the majesty ║ │ │║ that was being unfurled before them. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Rather than a one-off flourish they stayed ║ │ │║ together to record a reunion studio album, The ║ │ │║ Devil You Know which, if not great, was ║ │ │║ certainly good enough to be filed alongside ║ │ │║ their all-too-brief musical history from Heaven ║ │ │║ and Hell through Mob Rules and even the later ║ │ │║ Dehumaniser. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ It's inevitable that this final release is ║ │ │║ overshadowed by the death of Ronnie James Dio ║ │ │║ from cancer earlier this year, but at least we ║ │ │║ have a farewell performance from the man, ║ │ │║ recorded in 2009 at the Wacken Festival in ║ │ │║ Germany, shortly before he was diagnosed with ║ │ │║ cancer. That alone makes it hard to be ║ │ │║ objective, especially as there are a few ║ │ │║ strained vocal lines here and there, most ║ │ │║ notably on "Time Machine". which is not ║ │ │║ something you associate vocalist supreme Dio ║ │ │║ with, but hindsight does make those few moments ║ │ │║ all the more poignant. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ However, in general, this is a fairly worthy ║ │ │║ addition to the catalogue of Heaven & Hell / ║ │ │║ Black Sabbath, call them what you will, with ║ │ │║ riffmeister Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny ║ │ │║ Appice in impeccable form, augmented by Scott ║ │ │║ Warren from Dio's solo band on keyboards. Having ║ │ │║ said that, I'd be hard pushed to recommend this ║ │ │║ above Heaven & Hell: Live from Radio City Music ║ │ │║ Hall, the double CD and DVD that came out back ║ │ │║ in 2007. If it weren't for the inclusion of a ║ │ │║ couple of tunes from their reunion studio album ║ │ │║ The Devil You Know in the shape of "Bible Black" ║ │ │║ and "Fear", along with the under-appreciated ║ │ │║ "Time Machine" from the Dehumaniser album, then ║ │ │║ I doubt I would have bothered. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ But I'm glad I did as the band thunder through ║ │ │║ stone-cold classics like "Mob Rules", "Children ║ │ │║ Of The Sea" and "Falling Off The Edge Of The ║ │ │║ World", before heading off into a blistering ║ │ │║ "Die Young" and a seventeen-minute version of ║ │ │║ "Heaven And Hell". Things do sag a bit in the ║ │ │║ middle when they play the new songs, but by the ║ │ │║ time they bring things to a close with am ║ │ │║ immense take on "Neon Knights", you're left in ║ │ │║ no doubt that you were in the presence of heavy ║ │ │║ metal greatness. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ This concert has also been released as a DVD, ║ │ │║ with two tracks not on the audio (the ║ │ │║ prerecorded intro bit, "E5150" and the rarely ║ │ │║ performed "Country Girl"), alongside some bonus ║ │ │║ interviews featuring all four band members ║ │ │║ looking back over the 30 years since Heaven and ║ │ │║ Hell the album. Additionally, there are newly ║ │ │║ recorded personal tributes from Tony Iommi, ║ │ │║ Vinnie Appice and Geezer Butler in memory of ║ │ │║ their friend and colleague, the late, great, ║ │ │║ Ronnie James Dio. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Line-up: ║ │ │║ - Ronnie James Dio: voz ║ │ │║ - Tony Iommi: guitarra ║ │ │║ - Geezer Butler: bajo ║ │ │║ - Vinny Appice: baterφa ║ │ │║ - Scott Warren: teclista ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Discography ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Live From Radio City Music Hall DVD, 2007 ║ │ │║ Live From Radio City Music Hall Live album, 2007 ║ │ │║ Eating the Cannibals Single, 2009 ║ │ │║ Bible Black Single, 2009 ║ │ │║ The Devil You Know Full-length, 2009 ║ │ │║ Follow the Tears Single, 2009 ║ │ │║ Neon Nights: 30 Years of Heaven & Hell Live ║ │ │║ album, 2010 ║ │ │║ Neon Nights DVD, 2010 ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Mob Rules [03:47] │ │ 02 - Children Of The Sea [06:31] │ │ 03 - I [06:17] │ │ 04 - Bible Black [06:30] │ │ 05 - Time Machine [04:40] │ │ 06 - Fear [04:36] │ │ 07 - Falling Off The Edge Of The World [05:40] │ │ 08 - Follow The Tears [06:12] │ │ 09 - Die Young [06:42] │ │ 10 - Heaven And Hell [17:49] │ │ 11 - Neon Knights [05:45] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [74:29 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
