Those of us who love and adore DIO, have said for years, "DIO in studio is amazing. DIO in live performance, even more amazing." The Man always gave 110%, always, even when unwell or tired from months on the road. The fans were of utmost importance to Ronnie, like family. His Voice is just astounding, all the nuances and tones, and plenty of coaches here on KZbin have listened to Ronnie's Singing and just been blown away, especially when they realize Ronnie was in His forties in the 80's. Yeah. At about the time male singers' voices start losing power/strength and tone, and there was Ronnie, affectionately dubbed "Old Leather Lungs' by some, hammering out song after song. Part of why Ronnie's Voice was so powerful, has been determined that the formative years spent playing the trumpet, gave His lungs more strength than the average performer out there. Plus Ronnie was big on exercising, another reason why He could bounce all over the stage and not lose breath.

[@cwilson3124]

Few singers bring the power they have in the studio, to the stage. Dio, Bruce Dickinson, the late Freddie Mercury. Some of the greats that could. Dio was metal's best, pure singer though. Bsr none

1) I came here first out of fear this might get blocked 2) This is not Black Sabbath, but Dio solo covering the Black Sabbath song he sang on. The original is better. 3) The first recording by Dio was in 1958, but he only played bass. His first single as a vocalist was "An Angel Is Missing" by Ronnie and the Red Caps in 1961! Before the Beatles and Stones. And over 15 years before his breakthrough with Rainbow. You reacted to their song Stargazer. And yes, that debut song isn't remotely metal. 4) RIP Ronnie.

[@jimshelby406]

Ronnie is on his own level. He is so far ahead of any other singer in the Rock genre and it’s not even close and that includes Freddy Mercury. To understand that you have to listen to everything he’s done throughout his career. If you think of Ronnie Dio as just a heavy metal singer than you really don’t know who Ronnie Dio was. His career prior to Black Sabbath, which I consider his entry into the heavy metal genre as most of Rainbow was classic rock, was 22 years long and touched on damn near every genre of music you can imagine from Lounge music crooning to Doo Wop, to blues m, folk, honky tonk, pop to rock to prog rock. He could sing any genre and he sung better than most in all of those genres. Ironically, it was his ability to sing great regardless of genre that made him so unique. He was technically brilliant despite the fact he had no vocal training and he was extremely charismatic both on and off the stage and those two facts alone put him near the top of most people’s top vocalists list. The one thing he does better than anyone else is sing live. The single most difficult part of being a vocalist and should be the singe most important. NO autotune and believe it or not he NEVER warmed up either. It was all god given talent and incredible technique. God broke the mold after he created this guy.

Ronnie James Dio is, in my considered opinion, the best metal front-man ever

[@rayray-yw5tx]

I have to agree with that!

[@rexrogers1859]

Exactly!

[@victorchavez7969]

By far bro🤘

Ronnie James Dio and Iron Maiden were two of the most incredible live performances I have ever seen... and I've seen many. Thanks Jamel! You ROCK!!!!

[@Brandonmtlhd]

I know you like the live versions for the energy and what not but this was not the greatest live performance. Yes, his voice is on point but this is his solo band. He was with Black Sabbath when this song was made and it's missing that Sabbath magic. Also, they didn't even do the pickup at the end, which is the best part of this song IMO. Check out the studio version sometime and you'll see what I mean. I always recommend the original version of a song for a first listen, so you can get a feel for it and then move on to live versions.

This song was broken up by whoever put it up on KZbin. The other half is on the following video in the series of videos that makes up this entire concert.

Was lucky enough to see his band DIO twice, Aug / Sept 1987 ! He had a mega voice for such a little guy ! Please check out Rainbow in the Dark - live of course xx

This is not Black Sabbath!!!!! It's Dio's solo group trying to recreate Black Sabbath.

[@paulkwiatkowski1059]

You little puppy this is Black Sabbath your ignorance shows your age

[@jlopez1017d]

They did not try and recreate sabbath they went a new direction and that’s coming from a big Ozzy fan
