Never saw that Gates of Babylon one. I think I saw the LA Connection the other day on Dio's FB page.
I love this stuff.
Thank you for posting.
The more rare the footage, usually the more interested I am.

only one problem with the story that goes along with it. I hate when reporters use the term arguably. if its arguable why say it, or at least say its an opinion. When Ronnie was at his peak is definitely a debatable issue, and differs from fan to fan. Rainbow fans love that period, but no more than the Sabbath and Dio fans love their periods in Ronnie's career.
I personally believe he peaked over and over again, and when his voice matured he changed he adapted and continued to put out great sounding vocals.

| This is an extra track, as well as Gates of Babylon and LA connectionon, on the Rainbow Live in Munich 1977 DVD. I believe they were filmed in a European TV studio and the band were overdubbed with a recording (not sure of the technicalities) - but of course Ronnie refused to mime so he sang live. If you don't have this DVD you must get it - Ronnie's voice is wonderful, especially on Catch the Rainbow and Mistreated. Interesting as well to see him come back on stage at the end with a cigarette in his hand - and then start to sing at the wrong microphone! |
I LOVE that DVD!! Seeing him smoking always makes me giggle. The good old days when the cool kids smoked, eh?  |

Definitely this. His vocals on The Devil You Know impress me in a completely different way than his vocals with Rainbow. As his voice changed with age, instead of fighting it, he ran with it and kept pushing himself in new directions. |

I think of his changing as growth. He went through many different eras, and grew to make different music all along the way.
I listen to the last track on The Devil You Know and get goose bumps. It's a completely different style from any of his early work. All I know is that I watch some of his live performances with Rainbow and I'm blown away by the performance. It was gold medal olympian historic musician stuff.
I have observed Dio's tone and range change throughout his life. It also sounds very different depending on the style, or perhaps whether he was recording analog or digital. I like Dio's early work and literally also his last musical accomplishment with Black Sabbath(h&h).
He did indeed peak over and over again.
