Heaven & Hell: Live from Radio City Music Hall

This is the real deal. A group of musicians that don't have to skate by on voice-enhancement gimmicks and worthless attempts to be "trendy". Heaven and Hell (or Black Sabbath Mk. 2 if you prefer) have presented us with an epic collection of the purest heavy metal on earth, and I thank them for it. They don't use speed and volume to sound hardcore, they use impeccable songwriting, expert vocals, and a smooth and confident command of their instruments attained through years of honing. Forget all of that insipid nu-metal and rap-core drivel that dominates the airwaves today, pick up this film and remember just how powerful music can be.

Here's a 65 Year old Ronnie James Dio singing the best he ever has,a 60 year old Tony Iommi, the best and most original heavy metal guitarist on the planet, with the rumbling and thumpy twang of bassist Geezer Butler. I've never watched a music DVD three times in a row, but now I have...The video covers the highlights of the Black Sabbath Dio years. Heaven And Hell from the album of the same name, Falling Off The Edge Of The World, and Lady Evil. Here is something that seldom happens, these songs sound better live on this DVD than on the record. The sound quality is excellent with a superb mixdown, plus you get to see the artists playing their instruments. The camera shows the musicians doing their thing rather than shots of the audience waving and jumping..Black Sabbath fans and all rock fans will love this performance from 2007..Out of 10 , this is a 10.
