Heaven and Hell - Radio City Music Hall Live - BluRay

One of the best looking/sounding metal concert videos you may ever own - PERIOD.Almost exactly a year after the loss of the late, great, Ronnie James Dio, Eagle Rock Entertainment has re-issued the stunning Heaven and Hell performance, Live at Radio City Music Hall on Blu-Ray.  Released in 2007, after the lads reunited to do a best of Black Sabbath box set, this is one of the better concert videos that I have in my collection.  It was an amazing show and the guys were on fire that night - but weren't they every night?  The set list is awesome! It encompasses the Dio years of Sabbath, as well as the inclusion of 2 new tracks recorded for the box set, coming in at over 2 hours of metal magic.

I know many of you probably have this on standard DVD, but it's totally worth it to get this on Blu-Ray.  The picture is crystal clear, giving you a sense of being in the front row.  The sound is spot on as well - which I tested by cranking my sound system.  Another highlight of this DVD are the bonus features.  There's a mini road movie chronicling the reformation of the band as well as a nice behind-the-scenes look at what it took to get ready for the gig at Radio City.  There's also an additional bonus feature, not included previously, which is a rare never-before-seen interview with Dio.  This Blu-Ray disc is a must if you're a metal fan.  Even if you have this in the standard format, you must upgrade to Blu-Ray for its superior quality.

Bottom Line: One of the best live show you can get featuring the great Black Sabbath with Dio Heaven and Hell.  This Blu-Ray is the strongest recorded live show currently available from the band, and an essential disc for any metal concert video collection.

- Ragman is missing him some Dio right now...R.I.P. RJD!
