Dio tribute with Jens

Post by casiusss » Wed Oct 13, 2010 7:03 pm

In case it is not posted already :)

Some of Sweden's finest heavy metal musicians gathered to pay tribute to Ronnie James Dio during this fall's edition of the Sweden Rock Cruise, which sailed on October 7 from Stockholm, Sweden for Åbo, Finland and returned the following day. There was a long tribute concert with a number of guest musicians performing classic songs from Dio's career with a main band consisting of members of LION'S SHARE. The show ended with all artists performing HEAR 'N AID's "Stars" (Dio was behind the HEAR N' AID project, a collection of metal artists who recorded the track "Stars" in 1985 to raise funds for African famine relief.)


Special guest musicians at the concert:

* Jens Johansson (STRATOVARIOUS, YNGWIE, DIO) - Keyboards
* Rikard Zander (EVERGREY) - Keyboards
* Björn Gelotte (IN FLAMES) - Guitar
* Peter Iwers (IN FLAMES) - Guitar
* Mike Wead (BIBLEBLACK, KING DIAMOND) - Guitar
* Mats Levén (KRUX, CANDLEMASS, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) - Vocals
* Charles Rytkönen (MORGANA LEFAY) - Vocals
* Messiah Marcolin (CANDLEMASS, MEMENTO MORI) - Vocals
* Joakim "Jocke" Berg (HARDCORE SUPERSTAR) - Vocals
* Johan Edlund (TIAMAT) - Vocals
* Johan Hegg (AMON AMARTH) - Vocals
* Magnus "Adde" Andreasson (HARDCORE SUPERSTAR) - Drums

03. Stand Up And Shout (LION'S SHARE)

For these reasons alone I want to see a recording of this gig.

Would've been interesting to hear Gates of Babylon with Jens' version of its opening solo though.

Mats leven?
Charles Rytkönen?

are both great singers


But why "Mob rules"?? One of teh worst song with Dio on vocals.. and he did this one everytime I saw him and also with "Heaven and hell"....

Apart from that.. amazing setlist. Tarot woman is the most underrated song from "Rainbow-era"
