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!
