Off Topic Ronnie James Dio and Deep Purple

[FantasyMetal]

So, I'm a huge Dio fan, and I just stumbled upon this video which is AMAZING. I thought I would share it with you guys (though some of you have probably already seen it!).

Deep Purple & Dio - Rainbow in the Dark - Live 2000 - YouTube

In 2000 Deep Purple made a tour with the Romanian philharmonic Orchestra and with special guests.
They played in several cities in Europe and of course I have seen them in Paris !!!
Great show ! One of the best I have seen.
It was a bit strange to see Steve playing Dio songs (Rainbow in the Dark, Fever Dreams ...).

I was blown away by how awesome Steve sounded on Rainbow in the Dark!

Awesome clip. I am sad that I never got to see Dio live.

 

[FantasyMetal]

Yeah, I second that. I'm REALLY sad that there will never be a true Rainbow reunion. Or I should say a Dio/Blackmore collaboration.

I was lucky enough to see Dio in about 1983, what a huge voice. Thanks for the post.

So cool to see this clip. Dio was such a great talent. Saw him twice. Back in the late 80's and just a few years ago when they did the Black Sabbath Reunion.

Very nice. Really love/d Dio and his amazing voice and music. Too bad I never got a chance to see him live. Steve definitely does an amazing rendition of this song.
