Dio/Tokyo,Japan 1987

On October 4, 1987, Dio’s live performance, which was the opening night of “Japan Aid 2”, was held at Showa Memorial Park in Tokyo, and was completely recorded with the highest level of audience recording for approximately 74 minutes. A super high-quality album that surpasses “TOKYO EVIL NIGHT” released just a few months ago. It is recorded with super high sound quality like a soundboard recording with a direct sound that is different from the previous release, which had a slightly soft sound quality, and its high quality will amaze many enthusiasts. Anyway, the sound is so close that it is hard to believe that it was an outdoor recording, and the high quality sound will surprise and delight not only Japanese fans but also Dio fans around the world. Four songs from this live show were broadcast on TV, but the value of this album is extremely high, as all 14 songs from the only Japanese performance of the “Dream Evil” tour are recorded in ultra-high sound quality that exceeds the previous releases. there is. Ronnie’s divine vocals are also the best, but anyway, Craig’s guitar play on this day is amazing, and the listener will be completely knocked out by the hard, edgy, technical performance. The set was also great, starting with the opening song Stand Up And Shout, the new song Dream Evil, Hissatsu Neon Knights, the new song Naked In The Rain (with a guitar solo time in the middle of the song), and the previous album Rock ‘n’ Roll Children from Long Live Rock’. The medley to n’ Roll and the “Dream Evil Tour” set, which was the only one in Japan, are spectacular and worth listening to from beginning to end. Rainbow’s Temple Of The King is incorporated at the beginning of Last In Line, and it impresses the listener greatly. After that, Holy Diver ~ Drum Solo ~ Heaven And Hell ~ Man On The Silver Mountain ~ All The Fools Sailed Away ~ Last In Line and the magnificent DIO suite were played endlessly, and you could experience the overwhelming musical excitement in each scene. You can. After closing the set with the hard and dynamic Sunset Superman and the early masterpiece Rainbow In The Dark, Stars’ moving performance from “Hear ‘n’ Aid” echoes outdoors in the encore. After the performance, a female Japanese emcee appeared, and her closing MC, which sounded like an entertainment concert, felt strange to us rock fans, but Ronnie ended with a strong MC typical of a rock singer. It still moves us. Introducing a must-have piece for fans that documents the precious live performance with the highest sound quality ever.
