218 - Dio We Rock 1984

After the grand classic album “Holy Diver” of 1983 DIO’s solo band obviously had a momentum going and thus a year later the beautiful Metal year of 1984 was treated with another classic: “The Last In Line”, DIO’s 2nd offering and with the same line up as their debut. That means with Whitesnake axe man Vivian Campbell still on board, surely one of the better, if not the best guitarist Ronnie James has worked with in his solo band. This song is another essential classic.
“We Rock” kicks of the album and it’s hard to imagine a better opening track, probably DIO’s ultimate sing-a-long tune. Even 20 years later it’s still a live favourite and crowds go berserk when it is played.
