A scorching 2007 reunion performance gets a fresh coat of HD. Heaven & Hell have released an HD-upscaled video of “The Mob Rules,” captured live at Radio City Music Hall, out now. Where the 1981 original signalled a darker turn for the band, this Radio City reading lands with the precise, massive weight that only decades of chemistry could produce.
The video previews ‘Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007–2009,’ a new collection focusing on the final chapter of Ronnie James Dio’s celebrated tenure with members of Black Sabbath. Reuniting with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice under the Heaven & Hell name, the band returned to stage and studio decades after their original run for an unexpected second act. The set is out now via BMG as 7LP and 4CD/Blu-ray boxed sets, each with an illustrated book featuring new liner notes by Hugh Gilmour, plus a replica tour book and poster.
The collection is a real treasure for fans. It marks the first time the complete ‘Live From Radio City Music Hall’ performance appears on vinyl, and features eight tracks making their vinyl debut, including studio recordings from ‘The Dio Years’ and select live performances. The Blu-ray expands things further with video from Radio City and ‘Neon Nights: 30 Years Of Heaven & Hell – Live at Wacken,’ plus band interviews.
The set traces the band’s full reunion arc, beginning with the triumphant 2007 New York show, followed by the Top 10 studio album ‘The Devil You Know’ in 2009, and the live album ‘Neon Nights,’ recorded later that year on tour in Germany. Taken together, it’s a fitting tribute to a late, powerful chapter in Dio’s storied career.
