Attended a Madison Square Garden concert in the mid 80’s. His singing was just as powerful and flawless live, as it was on vinyl. The fire breathing dragon was a bonus. Rest well R.J.D!
I got to see Dio only once, and even then it was an opening gig for Scorpions and Deep Purple. I didn't get to see him at the "height of his power...lol" but it didn't matter. Shortened set or not it was Dio and my bucket list had been fully checked off.
I remember seeing Ronnie with Black Sabbath back in the 80's. Was the Mob Rules tour in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens and what a show! I was a fan ever since and followed Ronnie's music till the day he left us. Such a great metal vocalist and song writer non-compare. Miss this man very much and thank his spirit for the memories he gave.
It’s not hard to understand where Vivian got his drum prowess, knowledge, and chops from having an older brother like Carmine to learn from and model himself after. Just listen to some of Carmine Appice’s early live recordings of Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, and Beck, Bogart, & Appice and you’ll see why and where Vinnie got it from.
