Dio - We Rock DVD to be released

PRESS RELEASE
Ronnie James Dio has remained at the forefront of hard rock for over twenty years and his position as the powerful voice, driving force and front man to rock gods 'Dio' is the stuff of legends.

Universal Music proudly announces the 3rd October 2005 DVD release of "We Rock" - a live-in-concert Dio extravaganza boasting two knock-out concerts filmed during Dio's 1983 / 1984 Holy Diver world tour.

Off the back of the release of 'Holy Diver', the finest hard rock album to come out of 1983 and a second serving of rock genius in 1984's 'The Last In Line', Dio found themselves in embarking on a sell-out world tour.

Delivering concert performances of the highest calibre and putting on the kind of value-for-money show that had become something of a lost art, the Holy Diver world tour won the band adulation from fans, critics and fellow musicians alike.

Conscious of the success of this world tour, Ronnie felt it was only right to spotlight the songs that had delighted legions of dedicated fans and the live-in-concert footage featured here (from Philadelphia & Utrecht, the latter a very early performance) shows just how exciting shows the first couple of years must have been.

There's something very satisfying about seeing the original line-up, wind very much in their sails, luminous whip in hand, going for it in such a brazen manner, urged along by crowds in full knowledge of every word and phrase. And then, of course, there's the added bonus of a brand new interview with Ronnie, in which he talks in detail about the 'Holy Diver' album, and the background to the project in general.
