HEAVEN AND HELL

Heaven And Hell: Live From Radio City Music Hall - Deluxe Edition

$66.66 CD

An individually numbered, limited edition of 5000 copies from Rhino Handmade.

 Under the band name Heaven And Hell, the Ronnie James Dio-fronted incarnation of Black Sabbath unleashes its pent-up sonic fury with a vengeance. This divinely maxed-out, triple disc DELUXE EDITION of HEAVEN AND HELL: LIVE FROM RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL - in which they blow the roof off the venerable venue - presents both the DVD and 2CD audio titles together in one supremely cool, collectible box. The DELUXE EDITION, available at the very special price of $66.66, is a Rhino.com exclusive - and, only 5,000 copies were made. After they're gone, well, it just all goes to hell and beyond for the Sabbath and Dio faithful… 

 In addition to the scorching DVD and 2CD releases- captured live in front of about 6,000 fans at Radio City Music Hall on March 30, 2007 - Rhino.com's exclusive limited edition box also includes: glossy band photos, a Heaven And Hell tour program, ticket replica, laminated pass and collector's postcards. It all comes housed in a sleek black display box emblazoned with official Heaven And Hell artwork. 

 Reuniting vocal maestro Dio, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Vinny Appice onstage for the first time in fifteen years, the 2007 Heaven And Hell Live tour is making up for lost time with the sheer pageantry and thunderous roar of the quartet's performances. The DVD of LIVE FROM RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL is the first one ever to feature this historic Dio-fronted Black Sabbath line-up, which initially came together in 1980, after Ozzy Osbourne's initial departure from the band.  

 Filmed in high-definition and boasting 5.1 Surround Sound, every metallic flourish and bone-crushing riff brings you as close as possible to being at this destined-to-be-legendary show, which sold out in minutes. DVD extras include the documentary Heaven And Hell Road Movie, encompassing backstage, rehearsal and interview footage and other features. 

 Both the DVD and 2CD presentations of LIVE FROM RADIO MUSIC HALL feature concert performances of hits from the group's first LP together, the 1980 album masterpiece Heaven And Hell - considered one of Sabbath's all-time best - including an epic 15-minute version of the title track, “Neon Knights,” “Children Of The Sea” and “Die Young.” Dio and company also bash through stand-outs including “Falling Off The Edge Of The World,” “Voodoo” and “The Mob Rules” from the '81 LP The Mob Rules and “Computer God” from 1992's Dehumanizer. 

 Also included are two new songs, the single “The Devil Cried” and “Shadow Of The Wind,” first recorded in 2006 as bonus material for the Rhino CD compilation Black Sabbath: The Dio Years. It was during the making of that project that Dio, Iommi, Butler and Appice felt the chemistry that had previously inspired their world-rocking music together, and decided to rekindle it for a tour.  

 So, give praise for the bounty of the three-disc HEAVEN AND HELL: LIVE FROM RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL - DELUXE EDITION. If you weren't lucky enough to see them in New York City in spring '07, this is the way to feel the experience. If you were there, now you can relive it for eternity, along with a tour documentary and other bonus extras and collectibles. The home of the Rockettes will never be quite the same again, and neither will you. 

 HEAVEN AND HELL: LIVE FROM RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL is also available in separate 2CD audio and DVD editions.
