There are two different pressings of this bootleg--a 1990 press distributed by "On the Road," and a 1992 reissue distributed by "Red Line," which is what I have. Other than the different distributor name/address and copyright dates on the back insert and discs, both bootlegs appear to be identical.
The writing credits for "Heaven and Hell" and "Man on the Silver Mountain" are incorrectly given.
There's a fade-out during the stage banter that ends track 4 and then a fade-in to the track 5 introduction. There's a edit/jump at the end of track 10 to the track 11 introduction.
"Heaven and Hell" is the extended version with the "big black shape/little white shape" lines.
In the middle of the guitar solo, there's a short keyboard solo which includes a quick rendition of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.
At the very end of "Sacred Heart," (a long 12+ min. version), the chorus for "The Last In Line" is briefly sung.
Great vintage Dio bootleg, although I'm personally surprised and disappointed that "Holy Diver" only appears in shortened form in a medley! Greatness of the song aside, certainly it has to be popular enough to deserve better treatment!
