Introducing a 2-disc set that fans have been coveting, featuring a gorgeous combination of DIO's golden era performances at the Apollo Theater in Glasgow, England from 1983 to 1984! The 1983 "HOLY DIVER" tour, which was especially full of spirit and energy during Ronnie James Dio's career, and "THE LAST IN LINE", where DIO's status as a band became even more mature. tour. We have packaged these delicious live performances at the same venue with excellent sauces! DIO started the ``HOLY DIVER'' tour with a performance in Antioch, California on July 23, 1983, and warmed up by touring mainly the West Coast of the United States until early August, and then performed in England on August 20. - The band made their full debut to fans from all over the world at the 4th "Monsters Of Rock" festival in Donington. They took a short break in September to get things together, and in October 1983 they went on a full-fledged US tour that lasted about a month. Next, from October 30th, they will open for WASTED and will tour around Europe, starting with a UK tour. The band received enthusiastic welcomes at tour destinations across the Atlantic, and their support soared. Ronnie has gained unwavering recognition from his fans as neither the "vocalist of RAINBOW" nor the "singer of BLACK SABBATH," but as the "leader and frontman of DIO," and has achieved the fame and success commensurate with his abilities. It's done. Disc 1 of this work includes DIO's 11th performance in Glasgow on November 12th, from the 12-performance UK tour in 1983, when DIO's live show was at its peak in both the enthusiasm of the venue and the band's motivation. It is recorded. This sound source is based on an excellent audience source that is being circulated among overseas collectors and is referred to as a "broadcast sound source", and has been remastered and made into a disc with the clarity and clarity of the sound even easier to listen to. The sound is stable and well-balanced from start to finish, and the quality can be said to be close to that of a broadcast FM source, and audience noise such as talking voices is not an issue. As represented by the encore break after the performance of “Evil Eye,” the cheers of this sound source function as a “device” that only heightens the sense of reality. Listeners will be able to immerse themselves in the fulfilling DIO live at that time without feeling stressed (before "Don't Talk To Stranegers", Ronnie MCs that "I am recording it for radio," (There is also a possibility that it is a “broadcast sound source collected by a microphone.”) As you can see in "R.J.D. 1983", DIO's performance in November 1983 is very wonderful, and Ronnie's performance in particular is more amazing than any other era. Even if you listen to the singing only with the sound source, you can feel the momentum that it will burst through the speakers from the opening songs “Stand Up And Shout” and “Straight Through The Heart”. The heavy “Shame On The Nigfht” can also be enjoyed as a performance that is equal to or better than the aforementioned “R.J.D. 1983”. “Holy Diver”, “Heaven And Hell”, “Man On The Silver Mountain” etc. also have a wonderful sense of stability, and Vivian Campbell’s guitar is also clearly captured with a certain edge. Considering the ease of listening throughout the 75-minute live performance, it would not be surprising if some people prefer this to “R.J.D. 1983.” After completing the ``HOLY DIVER'' tour in early January 1984, DIO will begin producing their second album ``THE LAST IN LINE''. DIO began a full-fledged tour in July 1984, including an appearance at the Netherlands' Pink Pop Festival, which is included in "THE FIRST IN LINE," which will be released this week. "WE ROCK: COMPLETE THE The band completed a two-month tour in the United States, including the performance at Philadelphia's "The Spectrum," which was included in the CD. The album's sales were great, reaching #24 on Billboard and a gold disc, and they were already reaching the pinnacle of their career as a top heavy metal band. After the US tour, they will begin a UK tour on September 8th with a total of 23 performances, double the number from last year. Disc 2 contains the 13th performance of the UK tour, the Glasgow performance on September 23rd, which is the first time in about 10 months. Since this is based on the air check material broadcast on FM at the time, it is an incomplete version of about 48 minutes, and the drum solo that continues from "Holy Diver" fades in the middle, and the live highlight "Heaven And Hell ” and “The Last In Line” suite are also not included. However, since the line source was properly mixed for broadcasting, the sound quality is more stable than disc 1, and the sound quality and outline are at a perfect level. It can be said that it is a take that is comparable to the Hammersmith performance of the same year, which was recorded on Disc 1 of the press 3-CD masterpiece “HAMMERSMITH TRILOGY”! As you can hear from the numbers from "THE LAST IN LINE" such as "One Night In The City" and "Egypt (The Chains Are On)," it is a metal sound that skillfully blends the melodious elements of RAINBOW with the heaviness of BLACK SABBATH. is an excellent word. With Vinnie's powerful drums and Vivian's sharp guitar blasts, both backed by machine gun-like speed, Ronnie embodies his musical world in the best possible way. Also, compared to his 1983 live where he seemed to be blowing the meter, Ronnie has become more fluid, and he knocks out songs like "Don't Talk To Strangers" and "Holy Diver." It emits not only intensity but also a captivating luster, inviting the listener further into the world of DIO. The fast and powerful climax of “We Rock” and “The Mob Rules” that closes the live is an exquisite take that will excite the hearts of all DIO Ronnie fans! "HOLY DIVER" and "THE LAST IN LINE" Comparing these two live shows with this work, which has a stable sound that is easy to listen to, shows that 1983 was wild and passionate in a good way, but it has more "width" and drama. Although it's only been a year since 1984, when they began to raise their standards and put on dramatic shows, changes in the band seem to be emerging. Soundboard's masterpiece "WE ROCK: COMPLETE THE CD" had the same kind of enjoyment, but this one allows you to compare the live performance of the same members at the same venue as if observing from a fixed point, making it an even more interesting two-disc set. !
