Dio • “Holy Diver” • 1984 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]

[@christrudell7966]

Real band. No autotune. No BS

[@charliesdrumshed9328]

Could not agree more no click tack either or sequencers

[@wianbrilson]

High Heels!

[@SxSxG666]

Is that the catchwords people using if they actually don't know jack s**t about music? I'm literally sitting next to hundreds of metal records without even a single one autotuned.

No fucking phones and every kid knew every word. We had it good, the kids today will never know.

My mom let me go see this tour on a school night. Thanks mom.

Rip master Ronnie James Dio. 🙏 We Will remember forever!! 🤘🔥🤘

Indeed we will !! 🤘

[@5barkerstreet]

he ripped his band mate's off?

[@curtageografia]

Real band, real music, no autotunes! Dio Live! Dio is king!

[@Salisboury]

That bass, loud like it should always be!

[@killingsleep]

It's badass. They don't have that extra rhythm guitar track for the solo. That bass stands out.

The 80´s are still alive. Long live Rock and Roll and long live DIO!!!

[@christianboutot]

I was 15...now 55 but the same thrill ❤❤❤

[@0num4]

RIP to the late, great Ronnie James Dio. Viv Campbell was only 21-22 during this performance! His chops were only going to get stronger from here. Incredible.

[@michaelnicholas2417]

And yet, he went downhill by playing with Whitesnake and currently, Def Leppard(as guitar player #2). Sure, he moved up the ladder financially, but sacrificed his platform to expose his chops. I guess at the age of 25, he was tired of being a guitar hero, and rather play the second guitar line to Pour Some Sugar On Me. Sad.

[@andrewcarmellini7317]

Vivian Campbell with that mid range tone....love it

[@ned1621]

This was the best lineup ever, never got to see Dio, I wish I did.. RIP Ronnie..

[@atranfanatic]

I got to see DIO with Motorhead and Iron Maiden back in 2003 in Phoenix, Arizona! Awesome concert and everybody was at their best! Also got to see R.J.D. with Heaven & Hell (Black Sabbath) in 2007 with Machine Head and Megadeth in Phoenix as well!

[@michaelr.4878]

I agree. The original band was incredible. Although, I have always wished that they had a second guitar player. Things got pretty thin and empty during solos. Or at least they could have turned the keyboards up a little bit.

[@WesleyGravolet]

I caught this line up on the holy diver tour and if I'm correct I think accept opened the show, but not sure!

[@hubriswonk]

I saw them for this tour and Last in Line. Last in Line blew my mind!

[@mahadevshunmugam6818]

Great performance here!! All played well.V.Campbell was outstanding. RIP Dio🤘

Absolutely great footage… this is what is was all about folks

Oh, I was going to post, but you said it.… I will not

[@clarenceoveur9497]

Vnny Appice's timing is simply unmatched. One of a kind drummer!

[@geneboris33]

Yeah...Vinnie sounding excellent

[@michaelnicholas2417]

He keeps it all together without the band sounding rushed, like many acts have difficulty doing.

[@themayor3263]

Im 53 and turned my son (who's 19) on to Dio. He cant stop listening to him that's cause a great melody, lyric, band and singer collide magic happens.

[@jriron1]

Amen!

The ultimate rock voice!!

[@jdoesmath2065]

Definitely. But don't forget about Dave Meniketti. Such a great range.

[@TheErik249]

Recorded directly off of the soundboard. These recordings tend to be a little dry. But because this band is so tight and Ronnie James Dio is such a phenomenal singer, it sounds great. I got to see DIO December 31st, 1985 in Seattle. Yngvie Malmsteen and TKO opened.

[@Inverse_Sense]

So refreshing. Not one cell phone in the whole crowd.

[@marcio1813vermelhoqueimado]

Realmente. Saudades desse tempo. Anos 80/90/200 a melhor época para estar vivo. Um grande abraço para você. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍🎼🎵🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎼🎼🎼

I’m not sure if I can be bothered with a concert now because of that! I was at a football match recently and someone was recording/filming bits 😮😂. Yes really!!

[@Dead_mouse123]

That's what happens when the singer is good!

[@sporty2000]

I discovered Black Sabbath at the age of 13 in 1981 with RJD at the helm. It was a great time to grow up. I’m glad I got to see all my favorite bands in their prime, and a time when tickets were less than 20 bucks and we could sit wherever we wanted.

[@BRO77TX]

And no cell phones anywhere!!

[@seaskiff20]

I remember those killer days. We hit just about every rock and metal band’s shows at the Portland coliseum for about $12-$25 depending. Man I miss those days.

[@richk794]

Same here, I was 13, just bought the Mob Rules album, and went to the concert the following month in Chicago. I’ve been a proud metalhead since then 🤘

[@terrost9865]

Jealous

[@richk794]

@ Today marks 43 years since my 1st concert ever, with Mob Rules being my favorite album ever!

[@runawaytrain9794]

Fucking Legend. We saw Ronnie live when he was lead singer of Black Sabbath on their 'Black And Blue' Tour, a few years earlier. 1980, Rockford Speedway, Rockford Illinois.

[@crow4936]

RIP DIO GOD OF METAL 🤘

[@kevincarey1453]

Man all those people... many of them singing the words. And Vivian was all of 21 or 22 years old (?) Lot of pressure for him!

[@eddieboyky]

He's rocking those heels!

[@JDB173]

🤣

[@youropionmattersnot]

And still under 5 feet tall.

[@pakdolan]

Yes his stature is tiny but his voice is colossal.

[@harb7322]

I remember my sister had those boots in the 80's

[@jjcaron72]

He was influenced by Vince Neil 🤘🏻

[@raphaelbussottipereira7546]

A raw, authentic, and visceral sound. An intense energy and a unique spark from someone who truly knows how to show what they're made of. Sadly, young people today have no idea what that even is. The world we live in now is disposable and deceptive. We're trapped in a culture of the fleeting and superficial. Watch this performance and indulge in the purest, most genuine rock 'n' roll!

[@JohnMacFergus-oz5cp]

One of the best all time vocalists. Great showman. Great band in the beginning. Viv on guitar, unique and brilliant! Miss you Ronnie, luv ya man.

[@fleatactical7390]

Vinny slamming it up on the battery!!!!

[@LudwigHollywood66]

Music will never be like this again unfortunately

[@thecentralscrutinizer304]

Greatest voice in heavy metal. We lost a great and noble human when he was taken from us. Often mocked, but he was the best if you really listen.

[@Stufftowatch21]

Vivian 🤘🤘🤘🤘 a time when bands really played!!

[@johnramsey6604]

To hear Dio talk shit about Vivian years later was shocking and sad. Those guys stuck with Dio for almost no pay and got none of the t-shirt and merchandise money from the tours

[@user-ts7sn8dg1p]

The musicianship in that lineup. Dio, Appice, Campbell, and Bain. Holy smokes!

[@WeGachaMetal]

I had to watch this 2x to figure out what was different here. I’m so accustomed to seeing Dio performances, whether solo, Rainbow or Sabbath, with some kind of evil looking backdrop. This is just lights and amps, (and during the day) as I’m assuming Dio was a support act of this festival.
