Dio - Dio At Donington '83

Limited edition 180-gram 2LP with etched D-side

Plus album cover lenticular art print

The complete legendary 1983 Donington performance from Dio

Niji Entertainment and BMG will reissue two legendary live performances from Dio at the Castle Donington Festival in the United Kingdom. Donington '83 captures the original Dio lineup on the Holy Diver tour and captures a young, hungry band three months after the release of their debut album. The set features classic tracks from Ronnie James Dio's already-amazing career as vocalist for Rainbow and Black Sabbath, alongside future classics such as "Holy Diver," "Rainbow In The Dark" and "Stand Up And Shout." Also included is killer renditions of both Rainbow and Black Sabbath classics, including "Man On The Silver Mountain," "Neon Knights," "Stargazer" and "Heaven And Hell."

As the singer of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell and his own band, Dio is often considered to be one of rock's all-time great vocalists. Although he sadly passed away in 2010 after battling stomach cancer, Dio's music continues to connect with the masses — the official Ronnie James Dio Facebook page has more than 2.5 million followers, his music on Spotify receives more than 3 million monthly listeners, and in the most recent season of the hit Netflix series "Stranger Things," the popular character Eddie Munson sports a large "DIO" patch on the back of his beloved denim jacket.

Donington '83 and Donington '87 is available in limited edition and standard 2LP configurations. Each limited edition features a 3D / lenticular art print of the cover. The standard LP sets feature an exclusive etching on Side D.
