  2. My second ever gig!!! Oh the (half) memories.
    The support act was Queensryche who got booed off the stage for their bouffant hair/make-up & weird '80's stage costumes & I also seem to recall RJD emerging from a fibreglass cave (one of the more novel stage props i've seen). And all for a mere £4.00!
    Dio were absolutely incredible. For my money the Dio/Bain/Campbell/Appice line-up was never bettered, it's just a shame it didn't last longer. What an astonishing voice Ronnie had & such masterful ease in holding a crowd in the palm of his hand. He led 'The Apollo Choir' (all in fine voice themselves that night) splendidly through a kiler set.
    Sadly, we'll never see his like again, but he left us an amazing catalogue of quality music.

    1. I know some of the songs here are long, but I'm just surprised that as a headliner, there weren't MORE songs in the setlist.

  3. The best ever voice of hard rock and during these years, he was on fire. I fondly remember also when he played with Black Sabbath.
