Dio -Stand Up And Shout Live At Spectrum Philadelphia 1984

[morganwalker]

My grandson asked me grandpa what kind of music do you like. I pulled out VINAL and put Dio Caught in the Middle, full blast. Six year old dancing and laughing with joy at the sounds he was hearing. Thank you Ronnie for that moment. I am not ashamed for tears of joy

Shredders of the 80s are the real deal.

This is the song that I listen to whenever I feel like shit and within seconds, I'm on top of the world. It's fucking awesome.

What a great lesson for live musicians of any sorts!
At 1:12 the second verse starts, however RJD starts singing the third verse instead, which is shorter than verses 1 and 2. At 1:26 Vivian Campbell moves on to the next section, following the length of the third verse, while the rest of the band keep playing the backing music of the second verse. Actually RJD improvised something to fill up for the space. But at 1:31 Vivian Campbell already recovered and they're all together again. So many decisions in a snap, the goal being the performance wouldn't suffer. It turned out great!
I'm so glad they didn't edit this, it's 100% real live music.

Vivian Campbell...Back when his guitar playing could be heard.What a monster player he was!

[C_mao]

When Vivian Campbell plays a lead, a lead has been played !

I can't believe Vivian was just 22 here, and he played like a monster.

[JessMichaelWillyard]

Nobody noticed Dio jumped ahead with the lyrics but they caught it and he totally played it off. Master of Reality! DIO RULES!

[heavyaccept]

I like the fact that everyone in the band performs at 150% faster than the studio version!

[JRussomjr]

I was there! The end of 84 and again in the spring of 85 for the sacred heart tour. I'm an old man now, but I was a kid then.

While we didn't have cell phones, tablets, internet, Pandora, youtube, etc. back in the 1980's when I was spending my teen years, we did have phenomenal bands, musicians and music. Metal, rock, pop, etc. it didn't matter what one was into, it was simply phenomenal. Today's music isn't even worth listening to for free on Pandora, radio, ect. Looking back 30+ years, I'm very fortunate to have grown up in the 1980's and seeing bands like Dio.

R.I.P. Jimmy Bain.

Vivian Campbell deserves so much more recognition.
