Obviously a bit late back to this Tim, but, No World Order.

That's a shame. I like his guitar player this tour, Steve Stine. He does some excellent tuition stuff on YouTube. I've learned a lot from him, and David Walliman.

It's still my fav GR album. Perfect mix of power metal and classic heavy metal.

Today's classic Tour Program was purchased at the Providence Civic Center on August 20, 1984.
Dio- The Last In Line Tour

Indeed.

Such a classic band and killer lineup.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #6276 on:** January 18, 2017, 01:59:49 PM »

The best one-two punch in the history of heavy metal would be either Heaven and Hell/Mob Rules or Holy Diver/Last in Line.

Really a toss up for me.

TAC · « **Reply #6277 on:** January 18, 2017, 02:07:23 PM »

Is there a better 4 album run? I know it's different bands, but still..Dio!!

I still remember exactly where I was (a 15 y/o sitting in my bedroom on a Saturday night around midnight) when I first heard the new Dio "solo" album. The radio show I was listening to played Stand Up And Shout and Straight Through The Heart.

jjrock88 · « **Reply #6278 on:** January 18, 2017, 02:09:30 PM »

Maybe throw in Rising and Long Live Rock n Roll and you have the greatest 6 album run ever lol

Regardless

Thought it was weird that Jason didn't mention them.

That will teach me for skimming and posting on DTF while at work and sneakily Alt+Tabbing between pages.

As long as you didn't think I was including the Elf albums lol

I still haven't got H&H/Mob Rules, despite loving what I've heard from the albums. Been meaning to rectify that forever.
But Holy Diver and Last in Line are definitely among the best back to back albums in metal.

Both those albums are essential Blob.

I know! I have no excuse for such an oversight. I have every Ozzy era Sabbath album, I have Dehumanizer and The Devil You Know, I have every Dio solo album and his albums with Rainbow, but not those first two Dio era Sabbath albums.

There's still time for your redemption. The best songs from both would be the best album DIO ever did.

Jason is spot on. Include The next two DIO albums too for me. That is a quality run, especially when you consider its three separate bands.

New song from a new band featuring Michael Ehre and the great Henjo Richter from Gamma Ray. Pretty fucking good but not out til May. Good song.

That link lead to this one. I really like it. Can't find much about them because their name is pretty much taken by fire safety products

One of the best live albums released in the last 20 years. Dio is on fire, as is Iommi. Amazing performance with an epic version of Heaven & Hell.
