First re-release of the second live album by legendary American Heavy Metal band.
“Evil Or Divine - Live In New York City” is a live album recorded at Roseland Theater in New York City, USA on December 13, 2002 and released by Spitfire Records (a division of Eagle Rock Entertainment) on CD in 2003 for USA and in 2005 for Europe.
One of the advantages that Ronnie Dio had on this tour over previous ones is that he had the most technically and musically proficient set of musicians behind him ever. Bassist Jimmy Bain holds the bottom of the arrangement strongly, as he has consistently done since he and Dio began their collaboration in Rainbow. Drummer Simon Wright puts on a hell of a technical display during his allotted solo time, making one wonder how he managed to keep those insanely simple beats when in AC/DC without having a breakdown. Scott Warren proves apt to the task of playing all keyboard parts previously handled by the likes of Jens Johansen and Claude Schnell. But the true technical wizard of the bunch proves to be Doug Aldrich, whose interpretations of the various solos coined by Dio’s previous collaborators is rivalled only by his amazingly varied display during his own solo sections, hitting upon such contrasting styles as Classical, Rock, Jazz, and Blues.
This collection of live recordings is the document of this tour, and it features the grand wizard of darkness in fine performing form, covering all the well-known anthems, like "Holy Diver" and "Heaven and Hell", and throwing in some choice new tunes for a balance of old and new.
Dio fans will enjoy having this as a Diamond Souvenir!
