Dio/London,UK 1984-1987 Collection Upgrade

Following “WE ROCK – COMPLETE THE CD”, which received great acclaim from fans as soon as it was released, the best soundboard compilation of DIO at his peak is now available! In the 1980s, DIO’s live performances on large stages, such as those recorded in the official live work “AT DONINGTON UK”, were wonderful, but the shows at prestigious venues were even more attractive, and the dignified performance of the band was even more impressive. It felt like it was emitting light. In particular, their shows at London’s Hammersmith Odeon, which has one of the highest traditions and prestige in the UK, are filled with tension and tight performances that can be said to be on a different level compared to other venues. The dramatic and magnificent charm was captured to the fullest. We have packaged the broadcast sound source of the Hammersmith performance for three times, and three different tours in ’84, ’86, and ’87. This is the Hammersmith version of “AT DONINGTON UK” and is a masterpiece that fans are coveting! This work, which is all unified with sound sources of the highest quality, is sure to gain an unwavering position among fans as a new classic! Recorded on Disc 1 is the show on October 5, 1984 when Vivian Campbell was enrolled. Various titles have previously been released for this day’s performance, including the coupling album “BBC TREASURES” with Gary Moore, “MAXIMUM EVIL” and “THE GREAT EVIL KINGDOM”, but this time it is new. Excavation Master is a bit different. Up until now, there were gaps, skipping, and tape distortion in various parts depending on the record, such as the intro to “Heaven And Hell”, the second half, and “Rainbow In The Dark”, but this time, all of these shortcomings have been resolved. He is the master! It will be an appearance that combines quality and formality, allowing you to listen to the masterpieces of the Golden Age in their entirety. The difference in sound quality is obvious when you compare it with the previous release, and the individual performances of the band members, such as Ronnie’s powerful vocals and Vivian’s sharply honed guitar play, are captured more clearly, and you can grasp each of their detailed plays. You can enjoy it as much as you like. In addition, the richer sound is of official quality, creating a powerful sound space right in front of the listener’s eyes. The songs starting with “Stand Up And Shout” are an average setlist for 1984, but the aforementioned “tension in a traditional and prestigious venue” is similar to “WE ROCK COMPLETE THE CD”‘s Philadelphia performance. Similarly, the live performance is intense, and everyone will feel a numbing response as if they were witnessing a serious competition! The series of medleys from “Egypt (The Chains Are On)” through “Holy Diver” to “Heaven And Hell” and “The Last In Line” are amazing, especially when Vivian’s guitar is sensual at times. The solo parts that sometimes scream like crazy are a must-listen. In the latter half of the live performance, the band’s impeccable performance during “The Last In Line” and “Rainbow In The Dark”, led by Ronnie’s dignified singing, is simply overwhelming (Vinnie Appice’s The explosive drumming is spectacular! There is no doubt that the listeners will be in agony at the awesomeness of DIO’s live performance, where they are hammered in without a moment to take a breath until the last “We Rock”! Disc 2 includes the May 13, 1986 show from the “SACRED HEART” tour immediately after the guitar was replaced by Craig Goldie. This live sound source was distributed on the internet a while ago, but the sound source included in this work is based on material directly copied from the original master. This is the best take ever, which stands out from the compressed internet sound source, and you can enjoy the best entertainment possible only with DIO at the time. The “SACRED HEART” tour from 1985 to 1986 was one of the largest in DIO’s career, and this Hammersmith performance was not only the highlight of the 1986 UK tour. , it became the “cypress stage” which can be said to be the peak of DIO. This sound source is the second day of three consecutive performances, and you can enjoy the band’s heated performance to an audience of 3,000 people who filled the hall. The clarity as if one or two walls had been removed and the clear and solid contours of the performance are the strengths of Master Direct, and from the opening song “King Of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” the listener can hear the sound of the peak. You can listen to the performance while feeling up close to DIO. Continuing from the opening, the new songs such as “Like The Beat Of A Heart” and “Hungry For Heaven” all have the force and persuasive power typical of DIO, making them a listening point unique to this tour. “The Last In Line” medley, whose composition has changed from ’84, includes the approximately 10-minute “Sacred Heart” and is the culmination of the fantastic route Ronnie has pursued since RAINBOW. This Hammersmith three consecutive performances took place about a month after the start of the 1986 tour, and you can see that Craig has become familiar with the band and the stage. His guitar is full of lively youth and energy, and he shows off his playing on a par with his predecessor, Vivian. The RAINBOW numbers “Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Man On The Silver Mountain” combined with “Rock ‘n’ Roll Children” can be said to be a perfect take to understand the abilities of young Craig. Sho. Most of the sound sources of the “SACRED HEART” tour after Craig joined were audience recordings, so this line sound source is extremely valuable (the official live “INTERMISSION” was performed when Vivian was a member) ). It’s a shame that the recording time is so short, less than an hour, but fans will be happy to know that it covers most of the new songs that were played live at the time. As one representative of the ’86 tour, I declare that this disc 2 is a noteworthy sound source. Disc 3 includes the performance on December 5, 1987, which was the highlight of the same year’s tour from the “DREAM EVIL” tour. This sound source will be re-released using the fully remastered original master of “INNOCENT & DAMNED”, which was praised by specialized magazines and fans as “the finest sound source of the 1987 tour”. The mix, which has an official feel, was the best when it was released, but the remastering effect on the original sound source is even more remarkable, further enhancing the exquisite musical sound. The performance of all the band members is captured with an unprecedented sound and amazing three-dimensional effect, and each note is recorded in detail down to the minute grain, so it is literally an official-level line sound source! Any listener will be amazed by the realism of Ronnie singing right next to him, and the vividness of Jimmy Bain’s bass! In addition to the official live “AT DONINGTON UK”, there are line sound sources from the ’87 live, such as “EVIL MONSTER”, which appeared as a gift title the other day, and “DEFINITIVE EVIL”, which includes the Paris performance in November. However, this sound source has a sound quality that can be said to be exceptional among them, and vividly depicts the final destination of DIO in the 1980s. Craig’s guitar, which features a large number of his own songs, is a huge explosion that far exceeds the 1986 live performance on disc 2, and he is active throughout the album. Anyone who listens to “Neon Knights” and “Naked In The Rain” will be convinced of the greatness of their play, and Ronnie has recreated the world of DIO that he expressed in “DREAM EVIL” on an even larger scale. I am. In addition, Claude Schnell’s keyboard plays an important role in the album as well, and in addition to the above-mentioned “Naked In The Rain”, he also plays an essential role in building the worldview of the song on “All The Fool Sailed Away”. It has become an existence. The excitement and excitement of “Rainbow In The Dark”, “We Rock”, and “Don’t Talk To Strangers”, which are repeated at the end of the live show, is so moving and exciting that I don’t even know what to compare it to, closing out the three discs. We promise you the excitement you deserve! In particular, the beauty and solemnity of the last song “Don’t Talk To Strangers” is the ultimate take that was achieved because of the sound of this work! . If you are an avid fan, you probably already know, but in addition to the fact that the live performances at Hammersmith Odeon recorded in this item are “broadcast sound sources”, they are actually “three consecutive performances”. (October 4th to 6th in 1984, May 12th to 14th in 1986, and December 5th to 7th in 1987). If you pull them out one by one and line them up, you will see that the stages of change, growth, and scale-up of the band are clearly highlighted. The Hammersmith performances from ’84 to ’87 are truly the epitome of mid-term DIO, and this work should be the best sample to overview and summarize DIO’s history! The long-awaited high-definition broadcast sound source has finally come to fruition as the “Hammersmith Trilogy”! This work is fun even if you follow the history chronologically, and it’s also wonderful if you listen to it from your favorite parts. He will add it.
