I was at this show. The next day was my first day in basic training. The USAF sent me to Dallas meps to swear in. They booked me at the Greenleaf Hotel.. I was up in my room, looking out the window and saw a limousine pull in to the drop off area. Curious I went downstairs and Ronnie James Dio was in the lobby signing albums for people. Once he left the concierge asked me if I wanted to see the concert I said heck yes I was a big fan so he gave me tickets because he couldn’t attend. As I was waiting for a taxi he called for me one of the sound technicians for the band came downstairs late. They got a van ready for him to go to the arena and asked me if I wanted to go along. Of course, I said yes, and before I knew it, we were going underground at the reunion arena backstage. He got me in because I was with him, but once I was there, I had no credentials. I jumped on the first elevator I saw and headed up to watch the show in the nosebleed seats never using my tickets. It was a great memorable night that I’ll never forget rest in peace Ronnie James Dio.
