Dio's 2003 Concert History

Dio is a classic heavy meatal band formed in 1982 by Ronnie Jame Dio and Vinny Appice after they both departed from Black Sabbath. The band was active until 2010, releasing ten studio albums, including the critically acclaimed "Holy Diver," which has been listed as one of the greatest heavy metal albums in history by IGN, Rolling Stone, and others. It included the hit singles "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow in the Dark," both heavy metal anthems in their own right. Other charting singles from Dio include "The Last in Line," "Mystery," "Rock 'N Roll Children," "Hungry for Heaven," and "I Could Have Been a Dreamer."

Found the date December 2, 1984. Dio and Dokken , NBC arena Honolulu.

Nov 04, 2021

Prairie Capital Convention Center Springfield, Illinois. I saw Ozzy with Randy Rhoads, Def Leppard opening. Pete Willis on guitar. Saw many concerts there. I'll look them up. This is fun.

Not in New England, the band.

Nov 04, 2021

Cool sight by the way. Even though my last concert concert was 14 years ago, Van Halen 2008 in Dallas. I refuse to pay the high ticket prices now. My first concert was @1980 New England, UFO ( with Michael Shenker) and Cheap Trick . Probably paid less than $15. I'll look up that show.

There is a Dio concert from 1984 missing. I would have to get a hold of my ex wife to see if she knows the month. That isn't going to happen. I was stationed at Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii. We were newlyweds married in August of 1984. It was her first concert , about my 20th. Neil Blasdell Center , Honolulu. NBC arena. Dokken opened for sure. It was definitely towards the last quarter of the year. Some Marines got busted smoking weed next to us . I felt something hit my shoe and looked down . One of them threw a baggie down . I put my foot on top of it , size 12 and the police didn't see anything. They were escorted out and I got some killer Hawaiin. Nice to be friends with the NCO in charge of urinalysis.
