Dio/Tokyo,Japan 9.3.1986

Complete recording of the legendary Budokan performance on September 1, 1986, lasting approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes with a roaring ultra-high quality audience recording. The recorder is Taper, who recorded the 80’s live performances of such greats as Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Pink Floyd, Mick Jagger, TOTO, and Genesis in the highest sound quality ever. It has been recorded with such miraculous sound that it is good to hear. This is a truly valuable, ultra-high quality sound source that is not available on the internet or even among traders. The 1986 Budokan performance, which shines brightly in Dio’s Japanese live history, will be released as a two-disc set. It can be said that this is the ultimate Japanese masterpiece dedicated to Ronnie. DIO, led by Ronnie James Dio, has visited Japan seven times in their long history and performed 22 times. However, despite his popularity, he has not had many opportunities to perform, and most of his time has been spent participating in festivals and touring clubs. The “Sacred Heart” tour in 1986 was the only time I was able to go around the hall scale alone. The highlight of “1986” was the legendary Nippon Budokan. We have obtained a miraculous tape of DIO’s only Budokan performance in history, with the most beautiful audience sound ever. As mentioned above, this disc is a recording by a famous taper who has left many masterpieces, and the clear sound that gives you a sense of transparency without any cloudiness or muffled sound is truly exquisite. Not only Ronnie’s singing voice, but also Jimmy Bain’s bass that roars throughout the entire story, Craig Goldie’s smooth playing as smooth as Yngwie, and Vinnie Appice’s crispness down to every single cymbal hit.Part 1 You can hear each one clearly and without any confusion. If you’ve seen a live performance at Budokan from a good seat, you’ll know that this song perfectly captures the feeling of each note filling that uniquely high space, and the feeling of music raining down on you. It is such a spectacle that even the cliche expressions such as “soundboard level” seem silly. The cheers are just the right size so they don’t get in the way of the musical sounds, but they convey a sense of scale and enthusiasm, and just by listening, you’ll be reminded of why Budokan is so special.This is truly the ultimate Japanese performance recording. Also, Budokan is the best stage for Ronnie since Rainbow. It can be said that this was a kind of triumphant return performance with his own band, and his energetic vocals reverberated through the venue, blowing away the cancellation incident of the previous year. The video shows Super Rock 85, who had a series of troubles as it was the first day of the “Sacred Heart” tour, but here the band’s skill level has clearly improved, and the sight of the dazzling DIO world unfolding passionately is a masterpiece. . In particular, Sacred Heart, which was extended to about 12 minutes at the end of Disc 1, is intense, and Craig’s guitar, which matches the aesthetic style more than Gary Moore’s Vivian, enlivens the song, leading to the scene where Ronnie defeats the dragon. You might think it would be a boring scene without the footage, but the realism of the audience seats gives it a documentary feel. A gigantic dragon that could only be seen in a solo performance, a confrontational performance that was only allowed in large venues (at the time, some venues had only three steps of space in front and behind), and an audience that was excited by the excitement. The sound alone brings to mind the scene at the scene, and the highlight is the roar of the dragon roaring through the Budokan space! This powerful moment that can be enjoyed only because it is an ultra-high quality audience recording, is the best moment that all Ronnie fans should listen to. Then, the encore We Rock began with applause pouring down from the entire Budokan and a DIO call like a carpet (this alone is impressive). When you think of the sense of scale and realism of the cheers when shouting the chorus! No matter how good the sound board is, or whether it is an official masterpiece, you will never be able to enjoy this. And finally, the final performance is Stars, which solidified Ronnie’s reputation. DIO, who has continued on the path to success, performed a splendid live show that seemed to be in a fresh new mood as they welcomed new members. It’s full of famous songs from its heyday, and no matter which song or part you choose, it’s a great album. Please add special memories of Japan and Ronnie to your collection. It’s truly a heartwarming piece. Live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan 3rd September 1986 PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 1. Intro. 2. King Of Rock And Roll 3. Like The Beat Of A Heart 4.
