This one goes deep into Dio history.
The conversation starts with Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, Ozzy, Dio, and Rob Halford stepping in with Sabbath.
Because apparently Ozzy would not play unless Dio did not sing.
Classic rock drama.
Then the memories shift to those huge Dio shows.
Last in Line.
Sacred Heart.
The glowing ball.
The dragon.
That full theatrical Dio stage show.
Then comes the Black and Blue Tour.
1980 at Lloyd Noble with Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult.
A monster bill.
But the first time Max ever saw Dio was even earlier.
Rainbow opened for REO Speedwagon at The Myriad.
Dio was up there doing “Man on the Silver Mountain.”
Rainbow opening for REO.
Black Sabbath with BOC.
Dio killing the dragon.
That is a whole era of heavy music passing through Oklahoma.
