- Dio Live - 08/24/84 - Special at the Spectrum - Philadelphia, PA - This is the full show, with the exception of closing song 'We Rock' being trimmed. For some reason, that song gets the video blocked in the USA. www.RockShowTrader.com
I was at the Worcester Centrum in Massachusetts in1984 during this tour with my wife and two kids, age 5 and 9, and we experienced the magic of this band, both musically and personally. I talked to Angelo Arcuri, their recording engineer of the band at that time, and said to him: "My family and I would like to meet the band, can you make it happen?" And he did. We spent about half an hour with Dio, Vinnie, Jimmy, and Vivian and it was magical. We were the first to go in, and were the only ones in the room with the band. Somehwat in shock that we got in, the first thing I did when Dio greeted me was to give him a big hug. A touching moment came when Danny, my then 5 year old, saw a table full of food and pointed to the pizza. Dio perceived it and and took Danny by the hand and brought him to the table and gave him a slice of pizza on a plate. I will never forget that gentle gesture by the great Ronnie James Dio. Jimmy, Vinnie and Vivian were so humble and present and genuinely pleased that we were there. At no time were we told to leave. On a humorous note, while we were waiting backstage to see if we could get in, Danny asked me, "dad, those girls are naked," pointing to a number of women undressing to their high heels, garter belts and stockings, and bras. Somewhat embarrassed, I said to Danny, "oh, they are going to a costume party." I don't think Danny bought that, but he did not say another word. But something made an impression because Danny became a metal guitar player and composer, and played at Churchills in Miami, Florida many times with two of his former bands. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES.
I heard he was too nice for the business he was a kind kind man and ever better to his wife the world and the music industry needs more people like the way ronnie was with his fans.
Greetings to you from Buffalo New York
^ THIS. IS. AWESOME. ^
How awesome! What amazing memories for you and your family 🖤🤘
WOW, back then you could do that. Thanks for sharing, how awesome. Motley Crue was the same way in '85 during theater of pain tour. My buddy Dan, who is a drummer actually bought Tommy Lee's black set from him (5 grand) and was able to get backstage passes 3 times, different cities. I went to the Roanoke VA show and met them. All except Mick. Vince was an ass, but tommy and Nikki were really cool and down to earth. Times have definitely changed. 😆
got to see Vivian a few years ago. he is not reconized enough for his guitar skills!
Greatest concert ive ever heard . Vivian was the greatest metal axe slinger ever 40 years ago , pure magic ❤
I met Dio after a show at Studebakers cabaret in late 90s , what an amazing person that respected everyone ...Until we meet again sir 🤘😎👍
I met him in the 90's in a pretty small club. Of course Metal wasn't in the spotlight then and MTV became...well we all know what became of Music TeleVIsion. Sad. However the fans were still there. I mean, this was a very small club. It was during the Strange Highways tour. He was so kind, talkative and wasn't rude one bit. I got my Strange Highways CD signed by the whole band that day.
By the way that club is a Dollar General now. It was just east of Pittsburgh. Saw a lot of great bands there.🤘🏼
I agree :)
My very first show!! I was 12 years old. Saw DIO EVERY time they came to Philadelphia AND Baltimore. I’ve seen HUNDREDS of shows since but THIS was my first!!! AMAZING!!
What a great first concert!!!
Jimmy Bain is an underrated bassist. He is right on it man. 🤘
Yes! Jimmy was rock solid!
You can certainly tell a Bassist from A guitarist that couldn't hack it....
Killer drumming of Vinny Appice 🥁 ✨ 🤘 🎶
Vivian one of the most influential guitarists for me to pick up and jam.
He shreds so fucking hard it crazy! I cant believe it was that long ago !
R.i.P.Dio You're still one of the best
Vivian is a beast in this show! Simply a guitar beast!
С огромным удовольствием вернулся в далекие 80-е годы.Дио всегда был великолепен, а его музыканты просто чудо. Некоторых уже нет. Прекрасный гитарист ,тогда молоденький Вивьен Кэмпбел, сейчас продолжает восхищать меня и Вас своим мастерством в Деф Леппард. Мне 74 года и вот она новая встреча с шедевром восьмидесятых годов!
Dio really loved his fans and the music he shared with them.
The best Dio live show ever released
Lubbock
Texas
‘84….still have the stub.
…religious experience at its hardcore best!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
Facts!!!!
Agreed
actual Dio, yes, no question. How about this
Rainbow 1977
THIS
Led Zep new york
Ramones 1977 (rainbow!)
Live in Tokyo!!
This was such an awesome show. I was at this show in the front row and if the music wasn't loud enough after those explosions reverberating in that arena I couldn't hear for a couple of days afterwards...R.I.P. Ronnie..❤🤘🤟👏
What a badass Irishmen on guitar ! Viv has always been in my top 5. And his live stuff with Last In Line is stellar as well
Here, you can really hear how fierce Vivian was. They were only a handful of guitarists in this genre in 1984 who can play with this much intensity live. Even the amazing Jake E. Lee was not this intense, though he had the best stage move - ever! Even better than King Eddie. Akira live was also this amazing during this time period. A lesser known Steve Vai at that time can play all of these licks and some more but was not this exciting live, though he had his own way around the stage but not on this level. IMO the only 2 Irishmen who were this intense was Gary Moore and someone outside of this genre - Rory Gallagher.
All of his stuff with Dio is great. First 3 albums were awesome. Vivian Campbell's playing/sound was unique, a big part of Dio's success after Sabbath. I mean, honestly the whole lineup for the first 3 albums were fucking awesome🤷🏻🤘
Don’t tell me about Ozzy. Dio is by far the greatest metal singer EVER!!! Hands down!!’
I Remember this days.. back wen I waz still Alive
Vivian Campbell's solos were ahead of the times!!!
I used to watch this on VHS back when it came out...... loved it so much, I patched the audio onto a cassette so I could crank the audio on my walkman when I couldn't watch the VHS.
They just don't make bands like this anymore. Thanks you for posting this!
Damn, I miss the 80s. 🤘
Me too but memories and magic last forever!
One of the best concerts ever caught on video. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
The Sacred Heart concert is better audio and video quality plus the stage show with the dragon was bigger and better.
Insuperabile ,Grande!!
Many Try Only A Few Get The Brass Ring RIP ❤RONNIE JAMES DIO AMEN❤☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆😊❤!!!!!!!!!
Antrim Forum Northern Ireland for me. First ever concert at 17 years old. Queensryche in support. Homecoming show for Viv. Mesmerising for me as a Teenager. Love both bands and seen them many times until this day.
Thanks for sharing this video 😃 The best Dio lineup without any doubt! RIP Jimmy and of course Ronnie!!!!!!!
Pavarotti of heavy metal & his orchestra
As a 14yr old boy in a small N.C. town I bought Van Halen's follow up to fair warning Diver Down, then very disappointed,,just saying I was ready to rock,,, gave it to my little brother then went to record bar and bought holy diver,,,now that definitely delivered!!!! Thk God for Ronnie James,,,,
Ronnie James DIO is my Hard and Heavyrock father! Without his voice and compositions Hard and Heavyrock is nothing!
To be at shows like this in that period of time let's you know dio could hang because the one thing people don't remember competition at this time was stellar truly one of the greats
This is when metal ruled the world!
First rock VHS i ever saw! Still rips like the first time!
Saw Holy Diver and Last in Line Tour! Vivian 🔥
Thanks for Sharing this! 🤘🏼
RIP RJD
Saw this tour in Phoenix Vivian campbell blew me away ! As well as the rest of the band. Ronnie was magical !!! That little guy had the biggest voice !! And a master showman !!
First concert home video! This needs to be remastered in HD!

Claude Schnell
The True Real Dio Band ⚡️ 🔥💪👊😎🤘
Witnessed this concert in Anchorage Alaska 1984 I’ve always said it was best technically sound concert I’ve ever seen, was absolutely life changing event, and I’ve seen a lot of concerts especially in the 1980’s. Cried lied a little baby when Dio died.
So did I. I cried when he passed away to. I was fortunate that I got to speak to him, and meet him once in my life.
Dio has mastered many such in the past and with Elf , Rainbow & Black Sabbath a true showman his legacy will live on 🤘
My first Dio show was the New Orleans stop on this tour. My friend knew I was a massive fan (age 15) and got me backstage to meet Claude Schnell, Jimmy and Ronnie briefly-got all their signatures. Dio climbed in his limo and as it was pulling away the headlights illuminated me and and I flashed him the horns. Hopefully he got a chuckle out of it. Went on to see them several times-RIP boys
Campbell kills it!!! no pop def leppard here!
My all time favorite VHS Tape. Thank you .
This was the best double bill of the 80's TWISTED SISTER / DIO August 1984
i was at this show then month later saw billy squier with ratt opening billy filmed his video for all night long at that show. for some reason a lot of bands filmed at the spectrum dio squier and van halen filmed panama video at spectrum this same year too. 1984 what a year the best year of the 20th century
It's great that he included those Sabbath numbers too. I bought 'Mob Rules' some time in 1984, passing over Born Again, which was a relatively fresh release for Sabbath. I don't know why, but I picked Mob Rules. Probably because of the cover art. I was 9, and already had Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath, had no idea about the band lineup changes, just loved what I heard. I got two cassettes that day... Van Halen 1984 and Mob Rules.
I was at this show. Just a kid. Had the best time. Awesome start to finish. \m/
The first ever concert video I ever bought.
Память на века всем ушедшим рокерам рок 🎸 рольщикам рокершам рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍
Also...gotta say, met him 3 tines .. actually last shuw in Philly 2004 he hugged me 3 times front riw in film...chills when I see it. He was so so very sweet too good of a person to chat with Eddie Skunk now THERE is an asshole... Ronnie was every thing people said he was. Bruce Kulick told me he passed away a few hours after he did.....I could never believe I would hear if hus death from Bruce ... another amazing person
This was probably my first metal concert, and I also had this on BETA. Ordered it from a magazine I think (allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.). But I know I played that videotape to death.
40:03 Ronnie shows us just how good he really is.
?? that timestamp is the end of a guitar solo
and starts the best part of the song @@Ascendancy-
Never got to see Dio live... sounded awesome!
Band is SO STRONG
Viv and the 80s man! Follow your rainbows into the dark of each night. Fuckin love it!
To get good seats for this show, my friend and I pulled an all-nighter (on a whim, no prep whatsoever) so that we could get in line early at the Spectrum when tickets went on sale the next morning at 10 am. We took the Speedline from Jersey and got to the Spectrum parking lot around 5 am. There was a small line but not too bad. Maybe we can get front row, we thought. So we waited for 5 hours until the ticket window opened.
Being completely unprepared for this, we had no chairs, food, drink, radio, ball, frisbee... nothing. We literally just sat around baking in the sun for 5 hours, but at least we knew we were getting killer seats.
As 10 am neared, the line had grew significantly. "Totally worth it to get good seats" we said to ourselves. Then, just before the ticket window opened, some dude walks out and yells, "All floor seating is General Admission". The collective, "YOU MUTHERFU@KER!!!" was loud enough to be heard for miles.
Still though, it was a killer show.
Kids today just don't know! Camping out for tickets was a right of passage for us!
That's the way its supposed to be... Only the strong, only the hard.
Was there.. great show
Best band best classic line up Dio band 🤘🤘🤘
Thank God I saw this tour at Nassau coliseum in Long Island NY. Twisted Sister opened the show. As a young guitar player at the time, it was inspirational to see Vivian Campbell perform in person. And as a singer I could say the same for the GREAT Ronnie James Dio!!!
39:48 That guitar sounds wicked
For the time period it was amazing
I WAS THERE :) Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for the video!
Gloriosos ochentas
Thanks for sharing! 🤘
Тысяча благодарностей за чудо! 🔥🙏
You won't hear brutal guitar work like that on a Def Laughter record. Pour Some Sugar On Me vs Last In Line or Rainbow In The Dark. No comparison.
@rockshowtrader: goddammit that was fucking excellent to hear and see again after all these years. still fucking epic.
thank you for uploading and sharing.
I saw this show in Anchorage, Alaska. Dokken opened.
What a freaking voice 😮
Absolutely a GOD!!!!!🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
I was at this show. I was 20 years old and I sat in the first level dead center from the stage!
Same.. about 10 people back.. general admission on floor then
I dont think there were seats though
I was 20 years old as well and was there in Philly!!! The best ever!!
@@kimbee1964 Very cool! Were you from the Philly or South Jersey area? I lived in Vineland back then.
I was 20 as well, this changed me forever! One of my top 5 shows ever!
That voice....amazing. what a legend 🤘
I saw him on this tour in Sacto. Whitesnake and Y&T were on in support. There were technical issues all evening long, and Dio went past the 10pm curfew (outdoor arena close to residential) You could see Bill Graham waving him off from doing an encore. Word around the campfire was that BGP got fined tens of thousands...
I was there. Lower level off Vivian's side. Stood next to the guys from a certain band from NY that eventually made it big. Great times!
Was there.. and in 86 ...fuckin rocked!!
Viv was brilliant 🌟
Had the pleasure of seeing this massive show in Detroit Joe Louis arena dokken opener Kick-Ass
After that show at Long Beach, everybody got that Aria Pro 2....
I had the luck and honor to be able to see this very show within a 48 hour period (a spectacular feat for me anyway) in n New Orleans on a Friday night and San Antonio the next day. All the while was just moving furniture for my parents
Dio lives forever
Nobody and I mean nobody does it like this. So glad I seen him in my. Hometown twice last in line and Sacred heart. Worcester Massachusetts
Sacred Heart concert blew my mind! So good and more than worth the price of a ticket!
They were so tight they sounded a bit rushed for the first few songs. Those were the day's..
❤️
I love the riff in Egypt. Such a heavy f*cking riff. Love it.
37:56 we will never never never never never never never never never never never never
i agree with most on here this was one of if not the best Dio show ...they were smokin this whole night ...God Bless Ronnie James Dio ...you Rule !!!! 🤘

Why are you using the word "cover"? It's not a cover song. Dio wrote those songs.
Vivian's Solo @26:09!!!!!!!! Spine Crushing!!!!!!!!!!
You mean Vinny's? That time stamp is the end of Vinny Appice's drum solo
@@PapaEmeritus_4evr Cambell's guitar solo, during Heaven And Hell looks like 26:09. My Bad!!!!!!

It was Twisted Sister.
Yeah OH!
Saw this tour here in Detroit on August 9th 84 Twisted sister was the opening band on the Stay Hungry tour incredible show 8th row center.
wow!! lucky man.
I remember the show being advertised on WRIF and WLLZ.. begging my parents to go. Alas, wasn't going to happen.
Was anyone else actually 18 and at this show thinking these days could never end..? Maybe we know one another.
🤘🏽💀🔊🌃 um das melhores bandas de metal
The guy a fucking genius wish a had saw, ronnie
Ronnie james Dio and klaus meine are the best vocalist ever
How did Adrian not become an 80s guitar hero is beyond me, it’s weird ozzy had that power but dio didn’t
Vivian was a guitar hero in the 80's. He was one of the top rated young guns, on the cover of all the guitar magazines.
26:10 My spine rattles!!!!!!!
Saw this show.
At this tour 11-84 San Diego Sports Arena w/Dokken

You have the setlist correct but some things you posted are misleading.
-The songs you have listed as "covers" aren't covers. A cover is a song that another band performs but had no involvement in any other writing process.
- This isn't the original upload as it shows it was uploaded a year ago as of me writing this. He's only listing the songs that are on this video.
-The date is correct (currently) but maybe when you made your comment it wasn't.
I was at this amazing concert! I was 16 and took a bus full of Dio maniacs from the Scranton coal regions down the turnpike to Philly to be blown away. What a band this was! Vivian helped fill a void left by the loss of Randy Rhoads at the time. Jimmy Bain from Rainbow, Vinny Appice from Sabbath. The first two Dio albums are as timeless as Randy's two Ozzy albums, which featured another awesome Rainbow bassist who co-wrote all the music with Randy and Lyrics for Ozzy. Shout out to Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake (Uriah Heep) on Drums. Without them Ozzy wouldn't be famous today.
Something about these Irish Guitarists.... Sykes/ Campbell on the same bill....
Sorry bro. Sykes is English
Well close enough for an American ;) He sounds Irish though....
@@georgitchaikov8846
Ok………Moore then 🤟🤟🤟🤟
This isnt the original upload. It was uploaded to CZcams long before this.
Btw, 2 tours in a year and a half about Egypt.,..Last in Line and Maiden Live After Death/POWERSLAVE....😂
This is pretty impressive if its not Tony. 36:40
Vivian Campbell is awesome in this. He may be making more money now in Def Leppard, but he's playing shite music instead of ripping through his guitar solos and blasting classic rifffs the way he did in this band.
Ritchie grew up Ronnie
