Black Sabbath - Falling Off The Edge Of The World (Live) Reaction

[@colrhodes377]

Dio was an incredible performer even in his 60s. What nobody knew at this time was that he was racked with pain due to stomach cancer but he played on.

[@l.salisbury1253]

Lemmy of Motorhead also continued to tour and perform while dying from cancer!

[@colrhodes377]

@L. Salisbury Both old Road warriors. Kudos and love for them

[@karimhicks8376]

Indeed!!! HE loved his fans so much!! To perform with such conviction & love for his worldwide fans, is beyond fanominal!!! HE was a TRUE RARITY!!!!! THIS IS LACKING IN MUSIC TODAY. HORNS UP!!!

[@karimhicks8376]

Ronnie James Dio loved his fans so much!! Even at the cost of pain & eminent death. Sadly, IN the 2020s, I have not seen this kind of true devotion/appreciation for the fans: closest was LEMMY KILMIESTER;

Love the Dio era of Black Sabbath...."Lonely is the Word", "Heaven & Hell", "Sign of the Southern Cross", "Voodoo", "Children of the Sea" and so many more.

[@bubbaconda]

The Dio era is the best.

[@laudanum669]

Ronnie performed his last concert in August of 2009, he died 8 months later in May of 2010 at the age of 67. RIP RJD. Thanks for all the great times and music you gave to the world.

[@csphoenix9]

All the Albums with Dio are masterpieces

[@colrhodes377]

Other than the magnificent voice of Ronnie, I love the fact that the band just play like it's no big deal. Who else can do a solo like that and not even smile?

[@Brian-ed4jm]

Not to offend Ozzy fans but Dio took black sabbath over the edge with his amazing vocals' and lyrics. All Dio albums simply amazing. 🤘🤘

[@russpendergraft5057]

I agree with you totally, no disrespect to Ozzy, Ozzy did some great music on his own in my opinion, but most of his time with Sabbath was just ok in my opinion, the music was great, but Ronnie brought it to a whole other level! I think Ronnie was the best metal vocalist there's ever been! Now, on another note, MELODY CRISTEA ofI LILIAC has tremendous vocal abilities for Dio type sounding music! I love her short clips of her doing either Sabbath or Dio! I just wish she would do more of it, but they want to get away from covers and I understand it, but I think she could maybe put together an album with SABBATH NIGHTS of a good dark style sounding band and kind of follow in the footsteps of the Dio sound! Just my opinion!

[@karenlazenby6440]

This was performed mere months before his death from stomach cancer. According to the band, Ronnie would be doubled over in pain from the cancer, backstage, but was STILL this great.

[@colrhodes377]

It just goes to show that Ronnie was the ultimate performer.

[@archibaldsalyards926]

Miss RJD everyday!!! Special one of a kind.

[@laudanum669]

I saw them in May of 2007 and Ronnie still sounded great. I have seen Ronnie with Sabbath and solo several times and he's never had a bad night.

[@BillyBob-bd1hj]

My favorite metal song.

[@donallen7458]

Falling off the Edge of the World and Over and Over, were intended to be played as a unit, just as they are arranged on the original album. In order to fully appreciate this masterpiece set of heavy rock perfection, you must listen them, in the order in which they were originally arranged. Better yet, start with side one of MOB RULES, and listen to the album in its entirety. F.O.T.E.O.T.W. and O&O, are essentially the crescendo of this masterpiece of METAL. I personally believe this collection is unsurpassed among musical recordings, of any genre, and it will remain in this position of superiority beyond the end of time.

[@gregd8427]

Both are great songs.

[@Jstraw805]

Gotta check them out performing Die Young at rockaplast 2009

[@stevenboyce4136]

the whole MOD RULES album is fucking great ...every song rocks

[@langdalepaul]

The Mod Rules, by Black Who! 😉

[@chrisbanks6659]

@@langdalepaul LOLOL. I see what you did there.

[@sammybeck7794]

Everybody in this band is kicking butt however Tony Iommi is such a badass

[@darrenaurisch2707]

R.I.P. Ronnie!...yeh...Dio basically lived for music...if you get a chance to see the Documentary on Dio called " Dreamers never Die".. you'll see how dedicated he was and excepted nothing but your best. The song "Computer God" off of the Album Dehumanizer is so apt today...that it's almost like a song prophecy when it was written back in the late 80's.

[@colrhodes377]

The song that made Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice fall head over heals with Dio was Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell. Try it live and see if you get the same thrill! Also, The first time I saw Tony Iommi play that particular guitar, was at The Queens Hall, Leeds in 1981, it was all new and shiny then.

[@vicprovost2561]

Yes, Heaven and Hell at Waken about 15 years a go is mind boggling, not only is Ronnie inspired by th e setting but Iommi has one of his very best solos, this is the best version of this song I have ever seen.

[@richardhincemon]

John Diggins custom SG Guitar AKA the Old Boy.

[@laudanum669]

"You know I feel a change in the Earth, the wind and the rain". Very prophetic these days after all one of Dio's first bands was called Ronnie Dio and the Prophets.

[@ghichens3418]

Classic . Sabbath !! Another gem from the archives ! Nuff said ! Cheers !

[@gsmith7309]

I really miss Ronnie James Dio I love listening to him but I would love to be still listening to him playing live❤❤❤❤

[@johncrawford4302]

they were in there 60's

[@l.salisbury1253]

Check out "children of the sea" from the "Heaven & Hell" LP (1980)...

[@jacobwalsh1888]

This is live at Rockpalast Germany, 2009 I believe. Less than a year before his death. Dio with the rest of the Sabbath gang are amazing in their 60's. Worth checking out is any song from their performance at Wacken open air festival, 2009.

[@antoniocarlin5026]

This was original recorded on 1982.... Dio recorded "Stargazer" with Rainbow on 1977 then hes join to Black Sabbath on 1980

[@shspurs1342]

These 2 need to watch. Them do I at Wacken.

[@jalkabre5904]

The song "I" during the Heaven & Hell 2009 Wacken was incredible.

[@brandwhack4099]

The thought of RJD makes me tear up. He was incredibly tremendous. Love him.

[@karimhicks8376]

Sadly in 2010, we lost RONNIE DIO. But his influence will never BE LOST! He SANG in ELF, RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH, DIO, & HEAVEN HELL. 50 YEARS OF METAL MUSIC.

[@brandwhack4099]

Spot on!!!

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Not much of a fan of Dio, or even a huge amount of Rock music, but that my friends, is one of the best rhythm sections on any world, at any time. And i shall have fisticuffs with anyone that says it isn't so!

[@jacobwalsh1888]

Not a fan of Dio? He is most talented and sincere male singer of the last 50 years...

[@Sandy-dd4le]

@@jacobwalsh1888 I've watched a couple of things about Sabbath that he was in, he's a pretty smart and funny guy. He isn't my kind of singer though.

[@Stefan-]

Im a huge fan of Dio and think he is the greatest metal singer of all time and im far from being alone in that so i we will have to disagree on that one but im also a huge fan of the drummer Vinny Appice who played with Dio for a long time both in Dio and in Sabbath (like in this video), i think he is quite underrated, he has got an awesome heavy groove that suits this kind of music like a glove. Geezer is of course a legend and awesome as well.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Thanks for that 😊 I know the song very well but I have never watched this particular performance.

[@shspurs1342]

I think is what Metal is suppose to sound like.

[@samopaik8695]

Wow those arabic glissinandos and pitch drop by Dio is a feat I've never heard from any vocalist really.

[@Stefan-]

You really should do more with Dio in his prime instead, i suggest (Live videos) Rainbow - Live in Munich 1977, the songs: Kill the king, Sixtenth century greensleves, Catch the rainbow or Mistreated. Black Sabbath live 1980 - Heaven and hell. Dio- Live in Holland 1983, the songs: Stand up and shout, Straight through the heart, Shame on the night, Dont talk to strangers.

[@xxx-vq6dg]

THIS SHOULD'VE been the music WHEN THE walkers IN game of Thrones came At The Start

[@colrhodes377]

Also , how right you are about if people stopped denying the world has a huge problem we could all do something really positive about it.

[@thunderspike1892]

Saw them on Tour as Heaven & Hell before Dio died. Great show. Couldn't call themselves Black Sabbath because Ozzy wasn't there

[@davidleonardotorresbayona4356]

Saludos. Aclaro una cosa, ese concierto si no estoy mal fue en Alemania ( Rockpalast, 2009) y ya ahí no están como Black Sabbath, aquí ya están como "Heaven and Hell". kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIHRf3qAgc9obpY

[@basher5107]

Dio was 64 at this show he died in 2010 and this was 2007

[@colrhodes377]

Take a look at another side of Ronnie James Dio, Temple of the King is wonderful

[@swissystan]

He was old but more sick than old. He died in 2010….not so long after this

[@delorangeade]

Dio's voice was about thirty years past its best at this point, which tells you how great it was at the peak of his powers. I think his best work was with Rainbow, he did some great stuff with Sabbath, and his solo career was patchy after the first couple of albums.

[@Stefan-]

Personally as a huge fan since the 80´s i think he peaked when he was in his 40´s around the Holy diver period, he was always a great singer though even when he was still in his teens. I think his voice didnt take well to touring in his older days which is understandable, he tended to sound way better on record at the same time but at his peak he would often outperform what he did on the current record live, that is how good he was. I have witnessed it in person quite a few times.

[@delorangeade]

@@Stefan- The best his voice ever sounded, as far as when I was seeing him live, was on the Dream Evil tour. If you listen to his performance from Donington in 1987 he was hitting clean notes he hadn't attempted in years. All the Fools Sailed Away from Dream Evil is one of his best vocal performances. For me, after that he got a bit too growly in his delivery and it may be metal, but it isn't my favourite style.

[@Stefan-]

@@delorangeade The first time i saw him live was in 1987 here in Stockholm when i was still in my teens, it was totally mindblowing how good he was. Regarding the growlyness, i think it started in the Black sabbath -Heaven and hell period already (see the live video from 1980 here on youtube) and was perfected at least in Holy diver period, i really like that growlyness but i also like the different periods in his career, his voice/style changed somewhat between the 70´s and 80´s at least. One of the mindblowing qualities of Dio´s singing was that he could both sing as beautiful as an angel and the next moment he could sound more like a roaring devil, he was very versatile really.

[@fkops2773]

this is not Black Sabbath but Heaven and Hell !! ( same sh*t different name )

[@l.salisbury1253]

To keep Ozzy and Sharron pacified the Dio line-up renamed themselves after their Heaven & Hell LP for that last reunion...

[@fkops2773]

the performance in this video is from Heaven and Hell , who cares about ozzy or sharron .

[@hanierfamily]

They all look the same to us.

[@Stefan-]

Thats just business bullshit really signed by Sharon (as you of course know). We all know what it is. Tony Iommi is Black Sabbath, he is the only member that has been in the band the entire time, none other comes even close.

You should have done a young version then

[@swektmaico]

One of the best songs ever by the best band ever and a singer who is a legend, but why the hell is he always ruining the songs by singing them into pieces. Frankly everything live except Rainbow on stage is as lousy as the studio versions are masterpieces. Why??
