Double album on gold vinyls with gatefold cover. Limited 500 copies

When Heaven And Hell took the stage on the evening of July 30, 2009 at the Wacken Open Air Festival, it was incomprehensible that this was to be the group’s final tour. The band had just issued a brand-new studio album, The Devil You Know, that had hit the U.S. Top Ten, and fans were flocking to stadium-sized festival performances by the band. However, this did indeed prove to be the group’s last-ever tour, as Ronnie James Dio would pass away from stomach cancer in May 2010. A little over a year from when the aforementioned show took place comes a live album that documents this very same performance, entitled Neon Nights. Wisely, the majority of the track listing here is comprised of renditions of songs from Black Sabbath’s first two classic albums with Dio (1980’s Heaven and Hell and 1981’s The Mob Rules), including Mob Rules, the oft-overlooked Falling Off the Edge of the World, a nearly 20-minute version of Heaven and Hell, and Neon Knights. And rounding out the set are renditions of songs from the 1992 Dio-Sabbath release Dehumanizer (I) and the aforementioned The Devil You Know (Bible Black).
