DIO - Naked in the Rain (San Antonio TX, 1988)

[@lindell7148]

So beautiful. I'm glad this footage captured Ronnie smiling so much, that gorgeous man. Awesome Goldy, Jimmy, Vinnie 🖤

[@rjd5758]

I was 18 years old when i saw the "Dream Evil" Tour 88 at West Palm Beach Florida! Awesome Show🤘

[@ВЛАДИМИР-ч4ч9я]

Какой класс! Спасибо, Дио! Я не устаю от твоих шедевров.мне 67.

[@slayer7976]

Saw this tour at the end of 87, megadeth and savatage opening. One of the best shows ever but didnt remember how great goldy was, totally underrated player and the dream evil album was just as good or better than some of the viv campbell records. Neither craig nor this record get the credit they deserve...

[@TheBigdogal]

this is by far the coolest thing I have ever seen!!!! DIO forever, he was the greatest! This shout comes from Germany

[@Stefan-]

I saw this tour here in Stockholm Sweden in 1987 with spider an all and i was just absolutely blown away by Ronnies performance and has been a huge fan ever since. I just realised that im now the same age as Ronnie was then. \m/ \m/

[@lotusmarilyn2825]

it is so moving that Dio moves towards the end of the song so affectionate to Goldy ....🌜🌛 for me personally i feel the vibe when Goldy is playing!!! the whole energy is so leveled up and flowing and for me that is the essence of the Dio band sound !!!!

[@SonicVR12]

He and Craig had a very special relationship. It went so far beyond being bandmates, they are family, almost father and son

[@TCraigGoldy]

@lotusmarilyn2825 Thank you for that! Very cool thing to point out! We started out as friends and became family! We believed that our own energy can be given out to those who need it. And sometimes it was him leaning on me for me to transfer any extra energy that I had to him ...and the other way around....sometimes it was the two of us standing facing the crowd but arms touching and both of our energy we felt at that time went to the crowd. I know it seems odd to think this way. But after Ronnie was no longer here....I didn't have a best friend anymore on this level. And one day I thought I'd try and pass my thoughts and inner energy to my girlfriend who became my best friend and she believed. Now I can't even say or do anything without her reading my mind! It's a trip!! It works and it's Biblical of all things! Anyways.....thank you for that! He was my friend!

[@TCraigGoldy]

C.G. was awesome on this tour and that solo was excellent

[@lisellesloan3191]

Who is C.G.? Craig Goldy?

[@troyevitt2437]

Yeah it's unfortunate that Viv Campbell left. Most people would have stayed with such a well-established singer at any price, but unfortunately, it does appear that Wendy Dio pressured Ronnie to renege on an agreement whereby all the bandmates would make the same money as RJD starting on the 3rd album-support tour. Starting with "Sacred Heart", Campbell, Bain, Appice and Schnell were supposed to start making the same percentage as Ronnie. Vivian's mullet haircut was actually a protest. Dio specifically did not want hair short-to-the-ears on any of his sidemen because in the 80s, it was associated with more conservative appearing pop musicians. Dio nixxed Campbell during the Hear 'n' Aid project.

[@OnTheRunSinceBirth]

Goldy is very impressive with his overlall playing and solo!

[@TCraigGoldy]

@OnTheRunSinceBirth Thank you my friend!! Your kind words mean a lot!!

[@kittymetal186]

One of my very favourite Dio songs. This video is now a fave too. Ronnie James Dio is the best rock/metal singer. I've seen Dio the band many times. I met him and Craig Goldy, great guitarist though he goes up even further for me with this solo. Thanks for this, I will be watching it again.

[@TCraigGoldy]

@Kitty Metal Thank you for your kind words!! They mean more than you know!! I appreciate that very much and I appreciate you!! The guitar solo is edited, not sure if you saw the whole thing? Here's a link to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX28Z5Jrf96YqdE

[@ReneeNme]

Fucking genius. Few could have met Ronnie's operatic ability in modern music back in the day, even to this day ... for that matter.

[@mona1017]

ReneeNme he could've been the next Caruso or Corelli I think. It blows my mind that she endured a career in metal which shows how he set the bar for a frontman in metal.

Ronnie the best of all time

[@michaelgibsontv]

The world lost one of its finest when RJD died. I do not know why more shows of his aren't being released. There have to be tons of material. He was great and I wish KZbin was flooded with his music videos, bootlegs and concerts.

4:48 Ok, this is the most 80's thing I've ever seen

[@charlesbarr3561]

Freakin' Craig Goldy on FIRE! Would have LOVED to have had RJD live long enough to give us Magica II. And I love hearing Goldy talk about his time with Dio.

[@TCraigGoldy]

@charlesbarr3561 Actually at one point the doctor gave Ronnie a clean bill of health....and told him he could do whatever he wanted to do and we all thought he would go back with "Heaven & Hell" ( Black Sabbath but Sharon owned the name ) since he was back in the 20,000 seat arenas again making money hand over fist.....and we thought he would sock it away for his retirement! So, Wendy asked him....."What do you want to do?".....and Ronnie said "I want to write with Craig"! And we were writing for Magica II.....and I had a short 2 week tour to do....and he wanted me to do that one so he could write more to the story and then we could write songs around that like we did on the first one. But when I came back....he was in the hospital and was gone the very next day. Wendy cleared the room for me to go in and sit with him one on one as we always had done....and I really thought I was going to see him the next day! But he was gone! So, there is an unreleased song for Magica II..and I'm sure it will be released some day. But that was one of the saddest days of my life! Thank you for your kind words about the first one!! Means more than you know!!

[@charlesbarr3561]

@@TCraigGoldy wow. It took him fast. I miss him terribly as a fan. But you've got to be the most genuine rock star ever. I remember when you said, at the world premiere of Dreamers Never Die, "playing for Dio was not a gig for me. It was a dream come true". That was pretty cool. So, Electra, was that supposed to be Magical II ?

[@TCraigGoldy]

@@charlesbarr3561 Yes, that was gonna go towards Magica II. Like Doug and I both wrote for the "Killing the Dragon" album. But Ronnie wanted to finish the rest of it with me...and you know the rest. And thank you for your kind words!! They really do mean a lot!!!

@@TCraigGoldy so, I have to fire off my 3 favorite Dio with Goldy songs, otherwise I'll never forgive myself. When a Woman Cries, In Dreams, and my #1 is Eriel. Such an epic badass riff. ,🤘. Thanks for the responses, Craig. I'm going to go tell all my friends now. I hope you don't mind. 😁

[@TCraigGoldy]

@@charlesbarr3561 It's actually my honor that you react like you do! Ronnie never lost that fire that got lit inside him before he became a musician....and if anything....it just intensified! Same with me! I'm that same kid who was vaccinated by a phonograph needle listening to Deep Purple "Burn"! When I heard "Man on the Silver Mountain".....it literally changed the course of my life! And then to meet him and become friends, perform together on the very first night as meeting him during the Rough Cutt audition! He sat in on that! Later that night it was just the two of us sitting on his couch hanging out and talking like we've known each other all our lives! Then working with him in the studio during the Rough Cutt demos, being in his band and then to be known as his right hand man is STILL sooooo surreal!! So....thank YOU! It's my turn to try and treat his fans in the same way in which he did! Keeping his "way" alive! His music will live on forever.... but I want to make sure his "way" didn't die with him!!!!!!

I have wondered that myself. This is taken from an Mtv Headbanger's Ball special. They aired this song and couple of others spliced with RJD interview. I never saw any footage anywhere else from this Dream Evil tour. I suspect the whole show might've been recorded but I do not know.

[@lg2058]

I guess

[@utooberblooper]

dio could rip you to shreds with one glance,how the fuck do you think this is girly? he was definitely theatrical but that was part of the performance and im glad . saw the sacred heart tour gold seats 2nd row center and there was nothing feminine about him whatsoever.best concert out of 100's ive seen.

[@jimlotus7889]

HE IS THE BEST PERFORMER EVER IT'S NOT GIRLY IT'S A PERFORMANCE WITH EMOTION BOTH FEMININE AND MASCULINE.. LIKE LIFE ITSELF... THE PERFORMANCE OF LIFE AND THE DRAMA OF LIFE DIO REPRESENTS THAT ... AS WE ALL DO MY FRIEND .. WE ARE ALL BOTH FEMININE AND MASCULINE.. TO BE ONLY MASCULINE MAKES YOU WEAK AND FULL OF PRIDE AND MACHISIMO WHICH IS A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC OR TALENT OR WHAT THE HUMAN BEING OR SPIRIT OF A HUMAN REPRESENTS .. WE ARE ALL BOTH FEMININE AND MASCULINE AND IF ONE DOES NOT EMBRACE BOTH SIDES ONE BECOMES UNHEALTHY BOTH SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY. SO YES DIO AND I ARE BOTH ALIKE AND MANY OTHER GREAT PERFORMERS ARE TOO AS WE ARE COMPEX HUMANS UNLIKE THE OTHER SHEEPLE OUT THERE AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE ON STAGE AND YOU ARE IN THE AUDIENCE ... MUCH LOVE MY FRIEND .. FROM ONE DIO FAN TO THE NEXT ;)

[@jimlotus7889]

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR A HOMOPHOBE MAN.. I NEVER NOTICED THAT ABOUT DIO AND I STILL DON'T NOTICE IT AND SO WHAT IF SOMEONE ACTS A BIT FEMININE I THINK THAT'S COOL.. BUT YOUR A HOMOPHOBE AND YOUR PROBABLY A HIDDEN CLOSET FAG YOURSELF SO FUCK OFF ...

Long hair was one thing, but the industry tried to glam it up, making guys with long hair look feminine when up to a certain point, long hair was the look of bikers and REAL hard rock musicians.
