Seeing them live in the 80s was something special.

This song, this version, this concert was live at the radio, Hilversum 3. I was but a mere child, enthralled by this magic song about the everlasting war between angels and devils. Many, many thanks for uploading this clip.

[@noexistence11]

WOW, That solo was so insane, Vivian campbell is deffinately one of the best players. I love those gary moore licks that he throughs in their.

[@Ev105]

Notice he Dio sings "Heaven and Hell, it's a thin disguise for what you are". This became a line on the subsequent Last In Line CD; the song was "Evil Eyes".

[@TheTanthius]

RJD! One of the most powerful voices in the rock world! Absolute quality. You'll rock forever DIO!!

[@Ev105]

Vivian begins playing Fur Elise in his solo.

[@blobby_69]

one of the greatest songs ever. dio is the best

[@rigormortiiis]

Thanks for this. I can't believe they cut this out of the DVD release!

[@1973slimshady1973]

omg he is the best i love love love ronny

[@TheKenorocK]

Dio !!! Icon \m/

[@manuelhernandez9063]

Vivian Campbell is such a monster!

[@omarcapp]

siempre estaras en nuestras mentes,todos somos "children of the sea" R.I.P. RONNIE JAMES DIO.

[@CapstoneTider]

They had the two shows, one, this at the beginning of tour for Europe and the later at the Spectrum sold in the USA, one could not get the other back then.. They divided many of the songs on the two versions, cut out. I want to see them both in completion. Dio's voice is perfect in this earlier concert and Viv is on fire a few months later in Phily. The are two of the greatest metal concerts EVER.

[@qerametal]

Dio will always reign, no matter where he's, Earth, Heaven & Hell! The most powerful vioce.

[@LadyEvil]

Fuckin' A!!!!! Sadly, I was only in like, 7th grade, at an Xian school and had NO IDEA Ronnie existed! But I got with the program a few years later lol. Watching this was every bit as good as being AT the concert, in my opinion. :) Thank you so much!

[@cymru1978]

Campbell's only 21 yrs. old here, a prodigy. It's too bad he didn't stay w/ this band longer. IMHO, he's underated today cuz of the bands he joined after DIO (e.g., Whitesnake, Def Leppard). Fantastic axeman in the hard rock/heavy metal genre.

[@Schweini8]

I crawl every time i listen this song

[@ggeilian]

Well spotted!

[@Ev105]

I wish I could have seen this tour. Fresh out of Sabbath, Dio (and Vinnie for that matter) only had one album's worth of Dio-the band-material so you would have seen a good chunk of "Live eviL" mixed in with Holy Diver.

[@zeusalexpolis]

the vivians solo is like god's sound...he kicks asses!!!

[@greina1]

R.I.P

[@ggeilian]

No, it was only on the VHS release 'Dio-Live'.

[@alexkopela]

You should check out Vivian's playing on the Sacred Heart Tour. There are bootlegs of it on KZbin. The great thing about Vivian as a player is that he developed so well between the first Dio record and the third. In retrospect, Craig Goldy could not touch Vivian's sense of rhythm or note choice. Vivian' s playing has bite, spontaneity and that X factor! Does anyone think this was lost on Ronnie? Ronnie used words like " Brilliant " about Vivian and Dio's band suffered when Vivian was fired!!

[@LanDio1981]

@ggeilian If it were on DVD, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

[@ggeilian]

Let's hope so. Gutted he had to cancel his European tour I was due to see him last Saturday. Nevermind...the little fella's health comes first.

[@spaceavenger54]

for you guys who like this version/solo, check out a Special from the Spectrum, there is also a smoking version of The Mob Rules on it.

[@fatstercat]

mmm vivians solo kinda sounds like something gary moore would play. took a page right outa gary's book. but still its freakin cool

[@Ev105]

Dio and Appice fresh out of Sabbath running circles around the Live eviL gig! Only thing is that Jimmy Bain uses a guitar pick and it wears thin in the extended jam.

[@RikkudoSennin]

@HumanityBlows Shame he had to go the way he did. But...It's okay. I know he's aware he's influenced thousands of us. And I think if we all remember his music and how happy he was for all those years, I think he'll be fine with being dead. We just gotta make sure we don't forget his tunes!

[@ADDISON857]

RONNIE🤘is no Die, People listening HIM always this year 2021🤘🎶a Pleasure, Seeing interviews, concerts🔥Thanks « YOU TUBE »👍is awesome💥RONNIE🤘it’s ALRIGHT‼️Alright‼️🔥FIRE, look out👁and come one, we dance for the Lord on the last time, I love the night🌚so many shadows ...🤘🎵

[@Larrystrawberry]

Sounds like hes preaching

[@ThorOdinson14]

I'm guessing that at this stage of the DIO band, most of this fan-base would have been drawn from the Dio-in-Black-Sabbath era. If you look at RJD in Rainbow, he came off more as a "hippie" with light-colored clothes and bell-bottom trousers, so the Sabbath days really shaped him into a more "evil" personae.

[@kranen1]

@t33275 Haha, well, everyone has their own opinion. Iommi can play fast, but he's at his best when he plays those dark groovy solos :D That's his signature sound, and nobody sounds the same.

[@ThorOdinson14]

Sing me a song from Valhalla.

[@saeedadib68]

Dio👑👑👑💪

[@jayasjr]

DIO is just amazing, I kinda think he rocked harder with doug on axe though

[@JvkaosChannelOriginal]

deluxe

[@Ev105]

Ronnie James Dio can sing this song without Butler and Iommi, Tony Martin, Ian Gillian, et al, have no business singing it, however!

[@JonahJojoTheMan]

Who is the bassist ?

[@kranen1]

@t33275 Viv may be a great guitarist, but don't compare him to Iommi. Iommi is much better and much more influential.
