No one gets fewer concerts that Utah. The Wiggles aren't even playing here for God's sake 
I was surprised when Queensryche played here...had to jump on that one. As far as I know, Dio played a long time ago in Orem, Ut or somewhere, but no one ever plays here. The Mormons must scare the metal heads away

|
|
| Hello, I am new to this board and I wanted to comment that I also hope that DIO will be touring the states as well soon. Specifically, Northern California. A Heaven and Hell tour is also desired soon. Ronnie James DIO is the most talented writer and vocalist, in my opinion, in this epoch. Let's lobby for a U.S. tour! It seems like promoters overlook U.S. metal fans. What can we collectively do to demonstrate that there is a market and audience domestically? To bring back heavy metal to the forefront as it was several years ago? Any ideas? YouTube had a fantastic Ronnie James Dio interview wherein he was discussing this type of music in the U.S. and referring to the American Idol type of fanbase. I visited Birmingham England in September 2006 and it was so inspiring seeing heavy metal fans everywhere in close proximity. |

DIO will be doing a small tour this spring,as for Cali dates I've yet to hear of any. 
HEAVEN and HELL are in the studio now working hard at what they do best!  H&H tour in the works (possibly this fall).
Keep your eyes on the Tour section and the news section!
You never know what the master has up his sleeve's

|

| Thank you Rhonda for the reply. My spring is pretty busy, however, if Dio is marginally close, I will definitely see him. I saw him at the Filmore several years ago. I will keep checking, this artist delivers so many ideas and inspiration regardless if he is performing or engaging in an interview. I am going to listen to him all day long at work today as well. I am wrapping up my masters' degree in the next several weeks and it will be nice to return to recreational writing and art that I enjoy which have been in suspension given the work involved with this degree. Ronnie is a beacon of light that assists all underdogs. Three more weeks of a difficult, irrational and pompous professor that I have been beholden too! I am almost released from bondage. Have a great day Rhonda and all you DIO fans. |

| No, I did not. I have been engrossed in studies and work for years and occasionally I will hear announcements on the radio for concerts. I did not even realize that the band formation Heaven and Hell was performing until I bought the cd covering radio city music hall! I could have kicked myself for not keeping informed. I never got to see that lineup in the 80s. I will see them again for sure this time. It was probably nothing short of awesome, am I right? Do you work in the industry? I am in the legal field myself. |

The above are three of my favorite videos of RJD. I love the improvisations with these songs during the Milan show. Rhonda is this concert available on CD or DVD from RJD? I absolutely love and am interested in purchasing. RJD is always incredible but I really love the concert versions of these songs, his movement, dancing, etc. Please tell me if is available for purchase. I want to have CD so I can listen to in my convertible. |

Milan 16 November 1987 is available as a 2LP bootleg called "Where Eagles Blare" - beware, there are two 2LP boots with that name, the other one is Stockhom 1984; this one has a red cover, although it also exists as a 2LP pic disc boot. I have all versions, it's not hard to get on ebay, they show up on occasion, and for modest prices as well, I'd say $20-$50.
There are also CD boots from this show. I haven't bothered to buy any.
As far as I know it is not available officially. |

| Thank you for the response nunoni and thank you for conducting research Rhonda regarding the topic as well. I will probably begin exploring some other threads within here. Most of you are probably far more knowledgable about DIO and Ronnie James Dio than I and I am probably certain to learn alot. |
