Finding The Sacred Heart – Live In Philly 1986 was recorded at The Spectrum in Philadelphia on June 17, 1986 during the second leg of the "Sacred Heart" tour, which featured new guitarist Craig Goldy. The show was issued in an edited form first on VHS and then DVD. Now for the first time, the full concert is being released as a double LP in the original running order and with remastered sound. It's an extraordinary live show with a giant animatronic dragon towering over the stage and spectacular laers and pyrotechnics. The line-up for the show is Ronnie James Dio (vocals); Vinny Appice (drums); Jimmy Bain (bass); Craig Goldy (guitar); Claude Schnell (keyboards).
The show features the Dio classics "Holy Diver," "Don't Talk To Strangers," "Rock 'n' Roll Children," "Sacred Heart," "Stand Up And Shout," "Rainbow In The Dark," and "We Rock" plus other classic tracks from Ronnie James Dio's career including "Heaven And Hell," "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll," and "Man On The Silver Mountain".
Bonus Features include a Sacred Heart Tour featurette, an interview from '86 and a separate interview with Ronnie & Craig, as well as the "Rock 'n' Roll Children" music video and a Behind The Scenes feature.
Ronnie James Dio and the band deliver a blistering live performance featuring tracks from their first three albums alongside Black Sabbath and Rainbow classics. For those who never got to experience the powerful vocals and mammoth stage prowess of Ronnie James Dio before his passing in 2010, this is the perfect opportunity to view this legendary icon in all his glory.
