I have listened to Dio for a long time and consider his vocals to be without peer in the heavy metal arena. His voice is incomparably thick and rings with power whether he is diving into the depths or soaring into the stratosphere. With this release, however, we see a man who has lost much of his vocal range and has become only a fraction of the singer he used to be. If you want to listen to "classic" Dio live, pick up a copy of "Sacred Heart" and play the first song. Not only is his voice exceptional, but the guitar is much better than the almost unbearable amount of sloppy playing so fervently displayed on this cd. Do yourself a favor - don't buy it.
