DIO / Definitive Hollywood 1984 / 1DVDR

Ronnie James Dio in the “HOLY DIVER” era, who gained success with DIO, which was launched by throwing his own fortune. A masterpiece pro shot that allows you to witness the glorious moment is a gift release decision.
This work was shot on “January 4, 1984 Hollywood”. A multi-camera pro shot with a special stage for TV shows. The image of 1984 is “the year of THE LAST IN LINE”, but the beginning of the year was part of the “HOLY DIVER Tour”. In order to sort out the situation, let’s first look back on the schedule at that time.

● 1983
“May 25,” HOLY DIVER “released”
・ July 23-August 12: North America # 1 (11 performances)
・ August 20: MONSTERS OF ROCK ’83 (UK)
・ October 1-25: North America # 2 (23 performances)

・ December 10-31: North America # 3a (15 performances)
● 1984
・ January 4-7: North America # 3b (3 performances) ← ★ Coco ★
“Production of” THE LAST IN LINE “”

This is the overall picture of the “HOLY DIVER Tour” that has achieved its independence. Most of the tour was in 1983, but only 3 performances were held in January of the new year. The Hollywood performance of this work was the first stage. Speaking of DIO in the debut era, the official video “LIVE ’83 / Reincarnation” is symbolic, but the Hollywood performance of this work is also one month after that role.
Such a stage was a classic that has produced a number of existing episodes, partly because it was broadcast on TV. This work was also excavated from the prestigious “Krw_co” by the air check master. It is the pinnacle version that is directly digitized from the broadcast VHS master itself of the famous program “ROCK PALACE”. Although it is an era, analog-like image quality and monaural sound, its freshness is abnormal. Far from one white line noise, there is no running shaking or voice noise.
The best so far was the version recorded in the bonus board “PRO-SHOT COLLECTION 1984-1986”, but that is the quality “raised” by digital mastering. On the other hand, this work has a master-directed natural feeling. You don’t even have to pull it up with mastering. As a matter of fact, some people may like “PRO-SHOT COLLECTION 1984-1986”, which has a lot of flashy video and audio, but the “80’s feeling” that has not been digitally processed is made into this work. There is no such thing.
The beauty of the image is “Ronnie in the HOLY DIVER era”. Although it is about 19 minutes short with 4 songs due to the broadcasting frame, the singing of Ronnie’s demon who opened his eyes to aggression after BLACK SABBATH is terrible, and its appearance is even divine. The scene where my sister hugs Ronnie seems to be the preparation of the program, but even from such a production, the sense of the times just after her debut exudes.

It is said by enthusiasts that “Ronnie in 1983 is special”, but there are only two professional shots to worship the scene. Only the official video work “Rincarnation” and the TV program “ROCK PALACE”. And this work is the highest peak master of the latter. Although it takes about 19 minutes, DIO is an absolute piece that is indispensable for the collection. Please take this opportunity to experience it.
