Disco de Dio: “Holy Diver [DVD]”

Ronnie James Dio has remained at the forefront of hard rock for over twenty years and his position as the powerful voice, driving force and front man to rock gods 'Dio' is the stuff of legends. This is the new 2005 DVD release of "We Rock" - a live-in-concert Dio extravaganza boasting two knock-out concerts filmed during Dio's 1983 / 1984 Holy Diver world tour.

The finest hard rock album to come out of 1983 and a second serving of rock genius in 1984's 'The Last In Line', Dio found themselves in embarking on a sell-out world tour. Delivering concert performances of the highest calibre and putting on the kind of value-for-money show that had become something of a lost art, the Holy Diver world tour won the band adulation from fans, critics and fellow musicians alike.

Extras Exclusive interview with Ronnie James Dio, recorded in Belgium 2005 (approx running time 25 minutes)

This is the Ultimate Dio DVD release. But Evil and Devine Live in new York and Sacred Heart are excellent as well. 3 for 3 on Live DVD release, not lets get a live DVD from the Lock up the Wolves Tour (His best solo album and best guitarist Rowan Robertson).

I received Dio- We Rock DVD and when I tried to play it in a DVD player, it did not work. I tried it in different players and the same thing happened...then, I decided to look if it was scratched or something and to my surprise, the DVD disc looked like it was melted and all blurry! by the time that happened, it was too late to return it , wich is my fault but....when you think of it, I bought over $2,000 of cds at amazon in like 2 months and it just really sucks!

anyway, be carefull and check your stuff to see if it works as soon as they arrive!

Cheers,

Chad

This product should be avoided at all costs. I should have heeded the advice of some of the other reviews that stated various problems but I tried anyway and found out the hard way. I have to agree that the menu is lousy but if you play with it you can get it to work. When I played the Philly concert, the footage is very grainy but I didn't care because I still wanted the shows in my archive. About three songs into the show it jammed up. Not good. I ejected the dvd and then played the Holland show and this time it jammed up in the first song. I had to recycle power on my dvd player just to eject it. When I got the disc out and looked at the back, it had a filmy and cloudy appearance so maybe the dvd's used were damaged by heat or liquid, not sure? At any rate, do yourself a big favor and take into consideration all of the negative reviews and please believe that there are many defective dvd's, not just one and it is not operator error. If Dio knew about this, he'd yank it off the market because this is a defective product.

Buyer beware, the menus DO NOT WORK, the interview WILL NOT PLAY and the disc skips alot...in other words typical Universal Qualiy. Concert film is o.k. bit dark and hard to see what is going on at times. Ronnie voice sounds gruff, like he will hupp and puff and blow your house down. But the non-functioning menus ruin this.

ok first off this video is for the fans...its clips of 2 early shows on from europe and one from the us(the beginning of the last in line tour) THE US SHOW USED TO BE AVAILABLE IN THE 80'S AS A SPECIAL FROM THE SPECTRUM. but has long since been out of print..i know i've owned several copies of it over the years but it seems people like it more than i and it comes up missing..anyway i love this dvd compilation its the best of the old days..if you are a dio fan and want to realive some 1983 magic buy this..well buy 2 cuz you may have the same problem as i had in keeping it around
