What a great lesson for live musicians of any sorts! At 1:12 the second verse starts, however RJD starts singing the third verse instead, which is shorter than verses 1 and 2. At 1:26 Vivian Campbell moves on to the next section, following the length of the third verse, while the rest of the band keep playing the backing music of the second verse. Actually RJD improvised something to fill up for the space. But at 1:31 Vivian Campbell already recovered and they're all together again. So many decisions in a snap, the goal being the performance wouldn't suffer. It turned out great! I'm so glad they didn't edit this, it's 100% real live music.

Sometimes an artist is captured in time for that time. Not for the future, or for commercial success... I have seen 3 decades of 3 genres, and Vivian Campbell for those 3 years was as filthy as any guitarist can claim. There was probably a higher-ranked guitarist at that time...But in those 3 years, I would put Vivian Campbell against anyone ever. Too bad he didn t continue that path and went for the money instead.

Viv has recently hinted that he felt inferior to other more technical minded guitarist of the day, and now understands why he was so highly thought of. Energy! He had taste, speed and presence but that energy as displayed here propelled him to the top tier. Probably had a lot to do with his future direction. He didn't know how good he was.

That's really cool, I know Eddie felt the same way about Randy Rhoads. Energy! That's totally it - the solos on Sacred Heart are freaking amazing in their energy, in my opinion Craig Goldy could not follow anything Viv did in that sense. It's cool Viv realized what he is as a player & musician.

Vivian's "future direction" which I'm assuming you mean Def Leppard lilkely has nothing to do with his techincal abilities as he could then and now play circles around Phil Colleen, it's about paying the bills. He probably makes a ton of money with Leppard and I don't blame him one bit for taking the gig. The reason why Iove Viv's style is that it was in the same vein of Gary Moore of that era, not a bad influence to have. So many great guitarists of that era who were pound for pound as solid or more as EVH and they are in no order...Moore, Vivian, Lynch, Lee,DiMartini,Schenker, Meneketti...all just brilliant.

1:20 - Ronnie gets lost & sings the wrong lines for the 2nd VERSE, confusing the bass and messing up the guitar who sort of try to follow the singer out to chorus for two bars, but then go back to playing the verse. Verse 2 SHOULD go: You've got wings of steel But they never really move you You only seem to crawl You've been nailed to the wheel But never really turning You know you've got to want it all ^ what Dio does instead is sings the 3rd verse which has only three lines, then hesitates and makes up some words to rhyme with 'never hide again.' The music is SO messed up here but it's cool how the band recovers like 'ah no big deal!' 2:16 - here he sings the third verse here again because, hey, it's a good one!!
