The Last Recording  with Ronnie, Tony, Geezer, and Vinny
HOLLYWOOD,CA(Hollywood Today)10/13/2010? The DVD also boasts 30th anniversary interviews with all four band members as a bonus feature. Personal one-on-one?s are conducted with Ronnie, Tony, Geezer, and Vinny as they reflect on the making of their Heaven And Hell album. Additionally, the Neon Nights DVD has newly recorded personal tributes from Iommi, Appice, and Butler in memory of Dio.

On this hot summer night, vocalist Ronnie James Dio, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Vinny Appice commanded the stage, transcending the mere concept of a heavy metal concert. The strength and veracity of Dio?s delivery, which has inspired three generations of metal vocalists, wrapped itself around each and every audience member. Butler?s declarative bass lines, Iommi?s legendary riffing, and Appice?s unrelenting fills provide the forceful heartbeat behind anthems ?Mob Rules,? ?Die Young,? ?Neon Knights,? and namesake tune ?Heaven and Hell.?
On November 16, Eagle Rock will unveil Heaven & Hell: Neon Nights. This DVD and CD release captures the historic four-man army performing at the Wacken Open Air Festival.

On Thursday July 30th 2009 Heaven & Hell took to the stage at the famous Wacken Festival in Germany as part of the tour in support of their album ?The Devil You Know?, released earlier in the year. Although nobody knew at the time, it was to be Ronnie James Dio?s last filmed concert appearance before his death in May 2010 from stomach cancer. Heaven & Hell were on fantastic form and played a set blending tracks from the newly released album with classics from their Black Sabbath days. This is a truly fitting tribute to one of the legendary voices of rock.
