Dio/GA,USA 1990 & more

Extremely rare: Soundboard album from the Rowan Robertson era has been upgraded! This is the definitive edition where you can listen to the world’s first line take of “Wild One”. This work records the “October 2, 1990 Atlanta performance”. This is the FM soundboard recording. Speaking of the “LOCK UP THE WOLVES” era, it is a singular point in DIO history that is different from the others. While continuing from the golden age, everyone except Ronnie James Dio has been replaced. The music is a melodic metal that is different from the heavy route after the reunion, but it is also different from the nostalgia of the 2000s. Jens Johansson/Teddy Cook (hidden master!), new songs that were never played after that, etc. … It was exactly “DIO only here”. Such a delicious “1990 version DIO” is also outstanding in rarity. Not a single official live performance remains, only two professional shots, and only two types of soundboards. This work is the upgraded version of the longest soundboard among them. It’s a good opportunity to look back on the schedule at that time and organize the three professional records. “LOCK UP THE WOLVES” released on May 15th: May 16th-June 1st: Europe (12 performances) ← * Pro shot (2 songs) August 1st-28th: ​​North America #1 (21 performances) September 1st: Mannheim performance September 4th-October 7th: North America #2 (22 performances) ← * 2 types of SBD This is DIO in 1990. The pro shot is the “European” Dortmund performance (both songs are included in “THE YEAR OF THE WOLF Definitive Edition”), but both soundboard albums are “North America #2”. One is the masterpiece “FINAL NIGHT 1990” of the final Dallas performance, and the other is this work of the Atlanta performance, which is 5 days before (3 performances before). The soundboard recording has been known for a long time, and we have also introduced it as a bonus CDR in our shop. While this work is also a standard soundboard, the contents are completely different. It is a newly excavated master with upgraded length and sound. Its true identity was broadcast on WESTWOOD ONE’s famous program “High Voltage”. It has not been confirmed which conventional version is broadcast, but this version has a DJ comment before the show starts, and the broadcast station and program name are clearly stated. Moreover, led by the DJ, the symbolic song of the Rowan era, “Wild One”, begins! Not only was it not in the conventional master, but it was also a rare song that could not be heard on the other two soundboards “THE YEAR OF THE WOLF” and “FINAL NIGHT 1990”. The soundboard take of the famous song that was only an audience recording until now has finally been excavated! Moreover, it is not only “Wild One” that first appeared. Let’s organize the set contents here. DIO・Holy Diver: Stand Up And Shout (*) / Don’t Talk To Strangers / Rainbow In The Dark / Holy Diver・The Last In Line: The Last In Line / Egypt (The Chains Are On) (★) / We Rock・Lock Up The Wolves: Wild One (★ *) / Lock Up The Wolves　Others・Rainbow: Man On The Silver Mountain (*) / Tarot Woman (*) / Stargazer (*) / Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll (*)・Sabbath: Children Of The Sea (*) / Heaven And Hell / The Mob Rules (*) *Note: Songs marked with “★” are first-time appearances. Songs marked with “*” are not heard on “FINAL NIGHT 1990”. …And so it goes. “Egypt (The Chains Are On)” will also make its first appearance on this WESTWOOD ONE broadcast. Instead, “The Mob Rules” was not broadcast, but this work adds a bonus from the conventional version. We have covered all the existing Atlanta SBDs. This is a major upgrade of the standard soundboard with increased “Wild One” and “Egypt (The Chains Are On)” and a much clearer sound. If it is WESTWOOD ONE, the original broadcast version may be left somewhere… This is a groundbreaking soundboard album that will be the longest and highest peak of the Rowan era. FM soundboard recording of the “October 2, 1990 Atlanta performance”. The longest soundboard of the “LOCK UP THE WOLVES Tour” has been upgraded in both length and sound. “Wild One” and “Egypt (The Chains Are On)”, which were not included in the conventional version, are also groundbreaking WESTWOOD ONE broadcast versions, and this work is the first time that the SBD take of “Wild One” has appeared worldwide. “The Mob Rules”, which is not included in this version, is also included as a bonus with the conventional master, covering all the existing Atlanta SBDs. This is the birth of a new definitive edition of the Rowan Robertson era. Atlanta Civic Center, Atlanta, GA, USA 2nd October 1990 SBD (79:14) 1. Intro 2. Wild One 3. Children Of The Sea 4.
