He was still awesome. After the show I did a little research and realized he was 67 years old! The man was amazing. RIP Ronnie.

I love Dio-era Black Sabbath. They played a show at the Wiltern in LA and I was out of town. Oh well. I did get to see Dio live opening for Iron Maiden one time.

I read so many tributes about how he took the time to talk to and help younger musicians - he was a real class act

I guess I won't pile on with how great it was...

I had seen Dio solo before but that was the first time I had seen him with Tony and Geezer.

ROCK IN PERPETUITY MR. DIO!
