This recording has been circulating since '98 however this version is a new master cassette
transfer from my original analog master tape (May. 2010).

Well last weekend when i read Ronnie passed away it really hit me that we've lost one of my heroes.
I have been following him and his music for the last 30 years, the first time i was fortunate to see
him live was in April 1982 with Sabbath.I never passed him when he came through every tour and he
never disappointed. He was one of the most (if not the most) respected heavy metal singers of all
time and there's proof of this based on all the tributes we've been reading on the net from many of
his fellow musicians as well as fans here on dime. The flood of shows that have been posted in the
last week has been awesome so i thought i'd put one up as well so here's an excellent recording i did
in '98 at Canes, a club on the Oceanfront literally on the beach in Belmont Park. The place was
packed so there was very little space to move around but i was about 15 feet from the right stack
so the recording came out very nice.

LONG LIVE ROCK & ROLL AND LONG LIVE RONNIE JAMES DIO! \m/

This is upload #61 from my "Master tape Collection". I'm going to start uploading shows from
my 600+ masters which includes uncirculated recordings from 2003 thru the present. I've taped just
about every show i've gone too since 1986 so you can imagine i have a lot of masters to share. Most
of my recordings from 1986-2002 have been circulating as i used to do a lot of trading back in the day.
All uploads however will be new master tape transfers directly from the master tape to CD.
