Dio - AT THE EDGE CD

In 1989 big line-up changes occurred within Dio. Guitarist Craig Goldy was replaced by 19-year-old Rowan Robertson; keyboardist Clive Schnell - in the group since 1983 – gave way to Jens Johannsen; founding bassist Jimmy Bain left and the role was filled by Teddy Cook; and most surprising of all, Ronnie’s old mate from Black Sabbath, VinNy Appice, went, with  former AC/DC drummer Simon Wright filling his shoes.But, after a brief Sabbath re-union in 1993, which saw the album Dehumaniser released, Appice came back, alongside more new members: guitarist Tracy G, keyboardist Scott Warren of Warrant and bassist Jeff Pilson of Dokken. During this era, the band abandoned fantasy themed songs and focused on modern issues As a result, some fans regard the albums made during this period – notably 1993's Strange Highways - as somewhat lacking, while the majority view them positively, as a step away from the outdated sound of the 1980s.While out touring and promoting Strange Highways, Dio performed at The Edge in Palo Alto, California on October 2nd, 1994. Putting on a solid and hugely enjoyable show, the entire event was recorded for live radio broadcast along the West Coast.Previously unavailable on CD, this stunning concert is now available in full on this new release for the first time.
