Dio at Donington UK: Live 1983 & 1987
Dio at Donington UK: Live 1983 & 1987 is a two-disc live album from the American heavy metal band Dio, released on 9 November 2010. It was the first release on the band's own label, Niji Entertainment Group, and it gathers two appearances at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington.
The first show comes from the Holy Diver tour in 1983 and the second from the Dream Evil tour in 1987, so you hear the band at two different points in its story. Alongside Dio's own songs, Ronnie James Dio also draws on his earlier years with Black Sabbath and Rainbow. Much of this material later turned up as bonus tracks on the deluxe editions of Holy Diver and Dream Evil, released in 2012 and 2013, but here it sits together as a pair of festival sets.
