Hero Vocalist: “THE DEVIL YOU KNOW Tour” which became the last tour of Ronnie James Dio. A sound board album that forms the last corner of the three major professional records is now available.
“Performance in Santiago on May 8, 2009” is recorded in this work. It is the stereo sound board recording. I think there are some people who say “???” even if they suddenly say “three big” and “last corner”. In order to explain the circumstances around that, let’s first look back at the overall picture of the world world tour, which was the last time Ronnie was alive.

This is an overview of his posthumous album “THE DEVIL YOU KNOW” era. There are three professional records on this tour, one is the official video “NEON NIGHTS: LIVE AT WACKEN”, and the second is the classic professional shot “BONN 2009”. And the last is this work. It is an FM sound board recorded at the third performance of the tour. This broadcast has been famous for a long time, but this work has been made into a CD from its highest peak master. The reason for the highest peak extends to both length and sound. First, length. Actually, another master has appeared recently, but it starts in the middle of the first song “The Mob Rules” and is an incomplete board with cuts at various places in the show. On the other hand, this work is held down perfectly from “E5150”, which announces the start of the performance, and is the longest master as long as 8 minutes. However, the full master itself was also known since 2009. However, at that time, the common sense of sound sources was different from now, and mp3 sound sources were rampant. The already released group was only the one with the compressed data as the source. This work is the best master among the best without such drawbacks.
In fact, since there is a genuinely official work, it is hesitant to say, “Official grade!” In particular, the new master, who has become a hot topic on the net recently, was harsh with crisp treble, but this work is natural. It’s easy to listen to, and Gizer’s base run is glossy. It was introduced by the Shades label because there are some Spanish DJs unique to South American radio here and there, but the essential performance sound is press grade.
What flows out from such a best master is the enthusiastic performance at the beginning of the tour, which can be said to be the beginning of the end. The set is the same as the official “NEON NIGHTS”, but it is longer than “BONN 2009”. Let’s organize them by comparing them here.
●Heaven & Hell (4 songs)
・Children Of The Sea（★）／Die Young／Heaven And Hell／Neon Knights
● Others (7 songs + α)
・Devil’s Rules: The Mob Rules / Falling Off The Edge Of The World / Country Girl
・ Dehumanizer: I / Time Machine
・The Devil You Know: Bible Black/Fear/Follow The Tears
* Note: “★” marks are songs that could not be heard in the standard pro shot “BONN 2009”.
… and it looks like this. The point is that you can enjoy the full show at the beginning of the tour rather than listening to “Children Of The Sea”. This is the first reunion album in 17 years since “DEHUMANIZER”, and they have already experienced a large-scale tour in 2007/2008, so they are well trained. It is a majestic live with plenty of motivation and confidence.
114 days after this work, Ronnie complained of poor health and the tour was suspended. Never again did the heroic vocalist return to the stage. What is packed in this work is a big performance that you would never have dreamed that such a future was waiting for. It is a full show that tries to conquer the world again. A sound board album that pours the start dash of such a last world tour into the brain. Please enjoy this work of Best Master to the fullest.
★Stereo sound board recording of “Santiago performance on May 8, 2009”. It is one of the “THE DEVIL YOU KNOW tour 3 major professional records” along with the official video “NEON NIGHTS” and the large classic pro shot “BONN 2009”, and is a CD made from the longest / best best master. It was a CDR release because a local DJ was also included, but it is an absolute full sound board where you can enjoy the big performance of the start dash, which is the 3rd performance on the last tour of Ronnie’s life.
