1983 Ronnie James Dio "Rainbow In The Dark" (Rock Palace)

Vivian Campbell is an absolute monster guitar player. One of the best to ever do it.

Vivian Cambell was Dio’s best Guitarist he left after an album or two and later joined bands White Snake and Def Leopard.

[@bikersoncall]

@@ArtBellJr I was wondering why Tony was playing a Les Paul 😄 and thinking; ''wow, his playing really evolved here'' Tony is such an iconic player, but this solo by Vivian is over the top.

[@Sandesh98147]

You know whats amazing? Every live performance of Dio I hear, ronny does some bit of improv in the song and its different from what youve heard and yet at the same time, the whole vibe of the song never feels changed. Only he can sing something thats different and same at the same time. Im not sure if ive said this properly.

I know a few dokken, Ozzy, Cinderella (in the 80 and 90s before he messed his vocal cords up)

[@warrenporter9554]

As a musician, guitarist, and guitar tech for many artists in the past I can tell you that besides having the largest skull crushing vocals in a very small body Ronnie James Dio was a VERY intelligent, kind, intellectual, mannerly, and morally correct person. He had a thing for picking the best guitarists as far as rock song riffs go. Those riffs that turned into some of the best rock songs ever still give me goosebumps during guitar solo's. I must crank up the car stereo when I hear those songs as I go into a musical goosebump Oblivion. His vocals and lyrics were incredibal. He passed away before meeting again and after my last personal gathering with him, Iron Maiden and Metallica at Merriweather Post Pavilion in my state of Md after taking a few PRS Guitars for a few of the guys to try out. I will never forget how genuine, kind and down to earth he was. Just WOW as a person. No he was NOT satanic as some weirdos would have you believe. Also, if you didn't know that he was much older than most rock musicians I bet most are also unaware that Ronnie was in Do-Wop bands WAY back in early 1960's. Look it up on KZbin/Google and listen to the vocal beast doing some lovey-dovey Do-Wop where he got his start. Amazing!! God Bless the "king of rock and roll" and may his legend never die!!!!!

[@diamondstate6502]

In the early 1970’s I was a student at Bucknell University, which is located on the banks of the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania. The school had a strong Greek system and the students studied hard but enjoyed their weekends. My fraternity would host several big parties each semester featuring live bands. The highlight of each year was House Party Weekend. We would blow our social budget and hire Ronnie James Dio & The Elves from upstate New York to play at that party. Those performances became the stuff of legends. Ronnie James was awesome. He had no reservation playing an ultra high energy show in front of an enthusiastic group of 18-21 year old college students. We had a beer tap in our large party space that opened up to a big patio and he would stick around after his show and have some brew with the Brothers before packing up and driving north up US Route 15 back to New York State. He was a genuinely nice guy who sincerely enjoyed entertaining his audience no matter how small the venue.

This song was my teenage angst anthem. Hell, these days it still makes me crank it up and channel my 80s angst Still recall telling my parents I am a rainbow in the dark.....

[@bridie1824]

Hopelessly in love with a man who's no longer with us :( R.I.P the mighty DIO

[@kovy274hart]

[@settratheimperishable4093]

I fucking love the work Campbell did on these songs. And Ronnie was just fantastic

[@bonniegrandstaff398]

Yes my husband said it really was incredible guitar work.....

[@Metalviking18]

Vivian Campbell is an amazing guitarist. He plays and writes songs from the heart. He knows how to rock the fuck outta the place🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@sunkmanitutankaowaci2733]

When he joined Def Leppard I was like, “what happened to Vivian Campbell?” He was at his best with Dio

[@JoeBrito777]

Happy Birthday to the Man on the Silver Mountain. You found your Rainbow in the Dark at the Gates of Babylon. RIP my friend, your music will live on forever!

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

Sounds exactly like he does on the studio recordings. Pure.

[@MrCalidan69]

His voice gives me chills.....just so powerful

[@swissmilitischristilxxii3691]

WTF! What a voice. It's like he has 2 voices in one. I'm impressed.

[@bonkousmcnaughty4604]

Heard RJD was so good that he could lay down the vocal for a whole album in the studio in 45 minutes. I can quite believe it. He was that good!

[@basssix1]

The whole group is so dynamic ! Every player is on point and Ronnie is riding the wave !

[@Hupomone]

I think my favorite thing about this clip is Ronnie's smile. Obviously having a fantastic time.

[@BentonAlford]

10 years since we lost DIO. RIP to one of the greatest vocalists of ALL TIME

[@michaelholland6533]

Good lord this guy could sing. epic. Buying every album now.

[@jim6025]

No back tracks this is the real Ronnie. May he rest in peace

[@mat2033]

DIO rules I've seen him with Rainbow, Black Sabbath 1980 and the Sacred heart tour 84

[@DavidSmith-iy4jl]

mat2033

[@johnmcindoe2604]

mat2033 Dream Evil but Heaven and hell was cool before Elf not so much

[@dianatralli4099]

Dio in Italian means god and i i can say for sure he is a DIO

[@georgebuck2269]

And the great drummer Carmen Appice, who sounds like a freight train behind you on stage.

[@MorganaKonrad]

I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and see all these amazing shows!

[@Shadowking-oz5tb]

Morgan Konrad ...I saw quite a few and it was like being in the presence of god....or was it the devil :o

[@scottfox7642]

Me too

[@briansauer6695]

My first was the Dream Evil tour in January '88. I'd seen a bunch of concerts in the 4 years before that including Maiden's Powerslave, Priest's Turbo, Triumph's Thunder 7 and a few other AWESOME shows, but seeing Dio on that tour, was a step up from even those! After the giant spider and the dragon fought with lasers ending in the spider's defeat, the crew turned the lights on to see the audiences reaction. We were all MIND BLOWN! Had tickets to see Alice Cooper's 1988 tour to see if it could even top Dio, but a blizzard prevented the tour bus from taking us to London Ontario to see the concert. That REALLY sucked!

[@briansauer6695]

Metal shows in the '80's are something they rarely replicate now as they cost too much. Apparently Dio, rumor has it, spent more money than anyone else on his shows back then. I have yet to see as mind blowing a show since, albeit KISS put on a damn good show on their reunion tour in '96. I think Iron Maiden will put on quite the spectacle this time around in July 2019. Too bad I don't have tickets to that!

[@i.c.y.]

From the moment he opens his mouth until the song is done. What a presence. Perfect every single time. DIO was truly the greatest vocals the Rock world has ever seen. RIP.

[@theatremad9797]

Never forget listening to the Heaven and Hell album in the early 80,s . Dio did a fantastic job on that album. Neon nights kicked ass with Dio on vocals.Seems like yesterday.

[@briansauer6695]

Yep! Was 13 in 1980 and heard Heaven and Hell not long after in '81 or '82. Then my neighbor heard me listening to H&H shortly after Dio's first solo album came out. He said if you like H&H, you GOTTA listen to this! I was HOOKED from my first listen! Got to see him on the Dream Evil tour and three times after in the 90's and '02 on the Killing The Dragon tours! Dream Evil is, to this day, my FAVORITE concert EVER! And I've been to a lot of concerts in 36 years!

[@odom2142]

It will always be there man. You know what I mean? No matter what happens. It happened

[@richardbarton6146]

Ronnie was a cool dude.. This was one of the best perfomances Ive ever seen!! Wow!! and Vivian Campbell just Rocked!! What a band! Miss you Ronnie James Dio!! God rest your soul!

[@SW-fk6jk]

I didnt appreciate how good this guy/band was when I was listening to his stuff back when it first came out. Pure vocals no computerized smoke and mirrors. So humble out there shaking hands with the fans. Cool stuff.

[@Metalingots]

Everytime I watch this video it seems to get better. Vivian was only there a few year's but he was killing it with Dio. Dio has yet to be matched as a heavy metal vocalist. RIP 🤟

[@davidhendrix2418]

I'm so thankful I grew up in the 80s and got to see DIO 3 times live. The best 10 years of my life

[@MrDeano57]

Ed J, I am 57 almost 58 and still love good metal. And Ronnie will always be up there as one of the gods of metal as far I'm concerned. So let the folks my age get into that Pop, errr...I mean what passes for country nowadays. I'll stick to real music that really moves you.

[@k-tow]

See

[@bgifford1969]

Greatest Metal Singer of all time. R.I.P. RONNIE JAMES DIO

[@bobs2809]

Vivian and Ronnie. As I watch this I'm so blown away. I got to see them live on the Sacred Heart tour. What an experience.

[@gazza1252]

Epic. That album changed my life. Thank you Dio.

[@amyntut]

Ronnie was and will always be the only man to sing about magic, and rainbows and rock it !

[@wetley09]

2:21 I love this freaking solo!

[@Appytail]

When singers did not need a studio to sing. Studio or on stage was the same. 40 years ago. I cannot believe it. Was yesterday to me. Tempus fugit ...
