Hi, my first post on this site so hello all.
I saw him with Ritchie at Hammy Odeon as it was then, I can't remember the date.
I was also at The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast at The Royal Albert Hall. Ronnie sang 'Love is All'.
Great time, both gigs.

Yeah but queuing for tickets at the Odeon wasn't much fun!
I remember thinking that 'Man on Silver Mountain' and 'Catch the Rainbow' were the best performances on the night. I'll have to call the guys who went to find out what they remember.

There's a few people I wish I had seen live who are sadly no longer with us,Phill Lynott, Gary Moore and Ian Dury spring to mind. At least I saw Freddie Mercury in all his pomp at Leeds in 1982. Happy Days!!

It was on the beginning of a live album I bought years ago, it was the only studio track on it. Unfortunately I cant remember the name of the album

"Dream On" is my favourite Dio track. It's got a lot of oomph to it.
