Comments: Now this really is something. A live performance from one of RJD's earliest bands - back in the days when he was just "Ronnie Dio" - plus, all the singles released under the "Ronnie and the Prophets" name. If you expecting to hear early Rainbow and Sabbath influences, trust me, you won't The music RJD did then was very much of its time and nothing  like the stuff that would make his latter name.
