Thanks so much for this page. I could not be there but am very interested in the proceedings. You have an amazing collection of Ronnie's work through the years. Thanks to you I now have more to remember him by.

This is from the Children of the Night charity show in 1987. I was there - it was a great, great concert. I'll never forget it.

Here's a great song from Dehimanizer performed a the Radio City Music Hall show...

From the DIO concept album, Magica, this is a classic DIO track that's as good as just about anything the band ever did...

Here's a cool interview with Ronnie discussing his early influences and early bands...

From the first ELF album. Good stuff. (I love the change at 1:50.)

Here's a clip from Ronnie's final show ever. Man, he still sounded great - even though he already had the cancer at this point. Simply amazing. Clearly, Ronnie still had a lot to contribute, and the ability to do it better than almost anyone else (and at the age of 67 no less)!
That concert sure would make a nice addition to a KISSology type live DVD set.

Here's the final DIO song again. This time it's been RE-EQ'd and sped up slightly by Vista Records. I think it sounds even better now...

I thought I'd throw this one in here, too. I Re-EQ'd Rainbow's Long Live Rock and Roll to make it sound a little fuller.

As hard as it is to believe it's been one year since Ronnie died.
In some ways it seems like it's only been a few months, but in others it feels like it's been years. Ronnie was a great guy. Forget the fact that he was a true giant in the world of Rock and Roll, he was a great guy who helped a lot of people over the years.
I don't think I'll ever get over the loss of the one man who more than any other represented the world of Heavy Metal in an intelligent, articulate, thoughtful way.
He is missed as much now as he was on May 16, 2010.

It looks like I'll have to update some of the YouTube clips (as one member had his account deleted). This may be a good time to add a few new ones as well.
Feel free to post a song or interview from Ronnie that is a particular favorite of yours. He made a lot of great music over the years...

Here's one of my absolute favorite Dio songs from my favorite Dio tour (and, no, it wasn't the Sacred Heart tour)...
