Description
Dio – Live in Santa Monica 1983 captures the raw power and theatrical brilliance of Ronnie James Dio at the height of his solo career. Recorded live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on October 7, 1983, and originally broadcast on WPLR-FM, this remastered 2017 CD release from Klondike Records delivers a thunderous setlist drawn from the Holy Diver era, with a few nods to Dio’s Rainbow and Black Sabbath legacy.
