I saw this set the other day. May have to bite, since I am a lover of live
albums, and the setlists on these are quite good.
That is the cd, not the vinyl. I still have my old vinyl, but I just don't
see me buying new wax..

"Dio At Donington UK: Live 1983 & 1987", the double-disc set which is the
first official release from Niji Entertainment Group, the label formed by
the late Ronnie James Dio and his wife/manager Wendy Dio, is about to get a
glorious vinyl makeover. On February 15, 2011, the album will be issued as a
double-vinyl set with deluxe gatefold packaging, and on 180-gram vinyl — the
first-ever DIO album to be released in this high-quality vinyl format.
"Dio At Donington UK: Live 1983 & 1987" sold 5,800 copies in the United
States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 98 on The
Billboard 200 chart.
"Dio At Donington UK: Live 1983 & 1987"'s first disc was recorded at the
first-ever U.K. performance by Dio's solo group, while on tour supporting
their classic debut, "Holy Diver". And the setlist does a superb job
reflecting DIO's debut (featuring such classics as "Rainbow in the Dark",
"Stand Up And Shout", etc.), as well as classics from both RAINBOW and BLACK
SABBATH ("Man on the Silver Mountain", "Heaven and Hell", etc.) — resulting
in a thoroughretrospective of Dio's career, from RAINBOW to BLACK SABBATH to
solo hits.
The second disc of "Dio At Donington UK: Live 1983 & 1987" features
guitarist Craig Goldy's debut — recorded in 1987, in support of the "Dream
Evil" album, and contains highlights from Dio's career.
The first disc represents "a new, young band coming out of the box," Wendy
tells RollingStone.com, "and then the [second disc] is a more seasoned
band."
The set was released as a deluxe digipak including a booklet filled with
rare photographs and liner notes, and original replica all-access laminates
from both shows.
Ronnie was the executive producer on the Donington project, and was very
much looking forward to the release.
