I stumbled across this on Youtube when I had it going on in the background and it had been so long since I had heard it I didn’t recognize it at first.
It’s been AT LEAST forty years since I last heard this, back when I was living in San Jose CA.
It captures Ronny James Dio in his prime.
He had it all the way to the end.
He’s one of the few that I still miss.
This is the Blackmore/Dio/Stone/Daisley/Powell lineup for Live in Munich. Pity Blackmore changed the lineup like he changed his socks – that was no way to run a band… Still, great music!
The BEST rock vocalist ever! Got to see him before he passed. Incredible show.
I first saw Ronnie with Rainbow in 1977 (airport jam).
Started with Rainbow/sweet/Atlanta Rythm Section and the closer of the day was the legendary Foghat,great times!
