From the 1985 American tour that DIO conducted after the release of "SACRED HEART", two live performances held in September will be released as a 4-disc set, both using excellent audience masters! Many definitive sources are known after Craig Goldie joined in 1986, but the types of sound sources are still limited when Vivian Campbell was enrolled, so it can be said to be a happy release for fans! 1985 was a year with many epoch-making events for DIO and Ronnie himself. After finishing their tour for ``THE LAST IN LINE'' on January 27th, they will begin working on their third album, and at the same time will also work on ``charity through music,'' which was gaining momentum at the time. In addition to the members of DIO, many supporters such as Rob Halford and Yngwie Malmsteen, who responded to Ronnie's call, participated in the recording of ``HEAR 'N AID'', which includes ``We Are The World'' and ``LIVE AID''. ”, it has become an unforgettable moment in the Western music scene of 1985. After that, the band finished their third album ``SACRED HEART'' and started a tour prior to the album release. At "Super Rock '85" on August 10th, Ronnie made DIO's first performance in Japan. After appearing at that festival, a full-fledged North American tour began on August 13th with a performance in Manteca, California, and ended with a performance in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 12th, 1986, lasting approximately 90 performances (most of which were arena-class venues). ) will be holding a large-scale tour. However, at the end of January 1986, after the American tour had ended, Vivian Campbell was fired from the band due to a business conflict with Ronnie and his management, and Craig said that Ronnie had appointed him as ``the next one after Vivian.'' Goldie joins, marking the end of an era for the band. This work is from the 1985 "SACRED HEART" American tour, which was the last tour during Vivian's tenure, with performances in Portland, Maine on September 9th and "Nassau Coliseum" in Uniondale, New York on September 21st. ``The performance is recorded with excellent audience sound that confirms the master quality. The Portland performances recorded on Discs 1 and 2 have a moderate distance between the taper and the stage, allowing you to see the live performance with excellent visibility, sound clarity, and realistic sound. It can be said that the sound image is ideal, with the acoustics typical of a large venue, but without the audience's cheers getting in the way, and you can fully enjoy the cohesive performance centered on Ronnie's vocals. The famous songs "King Of Rock 'N' Roll" and "Like The Beat Of A Heart" and the "SACRED HEART" number that is repeated from the opening are wonderful listens. “Hungry For Heaven”, whose pop taste depicts DIO as an American band, is also a listening experience unique to “SACRED HEART”. In the magnificent “The Last In Line Suite”, which includes “Holy Diver”, “Heaven And Hell”, and even “Sacred Heart”, Ronnie’s demonic vocals will overwhelm the listener. Vivian's sharp guitar and Vinny Appice's drums, which have a strong presence that rivals the main character with their powerful beats, are also tight. “Holy Diver”, where their play unfolds in a linear sound image, is the best! In the guitar solo that begins with "Heaven And Hell," Viviane plays a sensational melody to the accompaniment of Claude Schnell, and this is another point that you cannot miss. You can also listen to it played). “Sacred Heart” was played well by his successor, Craig, but hearing it with Vivian’s guitar is still special. Similarly, when you listen to “Stand Up And Shout” and “Rainbow In The Dark” with the combination of Vivian and Ronnie, you will feel a magic unlike any other era. Unfortunately, this recording does not include the second encore song "We Rock" due to the master's circumstances, but it is a satisfying 90 minutes! And the New York Uniondale show that can be heard on discs 3 and 4 not only has good visibility and sound balance, but also the acoustics that echo the audience's explosive excitement. Enjoy the sense of scale. At that time, a large crowd of over 10,000 people packed into the Nassau Coliseum, and this recording can be said to be a sound that perfectly captures the biggest period of his career in terms of momentum and scale of the tour. . As if the audience was fascinated by Ronnie's charisma, the choruses of "King Of Rock 'N' Roll" and "The Last In Line" gave a big chorus ("The Last In Line" in particular was spectacular!). “Heaven And Hell” and “Sacred Heart” are nothing short of overwhelming, with the expansive sound of the instrument making the song even more exciting, and in the second half of “Sacred Heart,” you can almost imagine Ronnie fighting a dragon! The second half of the live performance, "Rock 'N' Roll Children" and "Long Live Rock 'N' Roll," excited the fans in New York, and they played "Man On The Silver Mountain" and "Stand Up And Shout” and the climax descends. Here you can listen to "We Rock", which was not included in the sound source of the Portland performance, and it closes the ending of the live performance with the best excitement (you will be surprised by the pyro explosion just before the end). In addition, in this recording, recording continues for about 4 minutes even after the live performance ends. Listeners will be able to realistically experience the excitement in the venue, with calls of "Dio!" flying around. I have the impression that Ronnie's live performances in Japan are the hottest, but his American fans are not to be outdone either! This "SACRED HEART" American tour, which took place in the latter half of 1985, was not only important as Vivian's last tour, but also received a lot of attention from fans, including the San Diego performance on December 6th, which was included in the official live work "INTERMISSION". Although the recognition itself is high, for some reason the release of excellent audience sources was limited. Therefore, the two performances recorded in this work will be an indispensable item for fans to understand DIO at the end of the Vivian era. Don't miss out on this 4-disc set that is a must-listen for Ronnie fans, packaging valuable live recordings with wonderful sound!
