[net.music] "Dio Live at the Spectrum" & Vivian Campbell

Last night my roommate picked up a copy of "Dio Live at the Spectrum" in
Beta Hifi.  It's a definite must for any Dio fans out there.  The concert
consisted mostly of songs from his two solo albums with "Heaven and Hell"
and "Mob Rules" the only songs done from his Sabbath days.  Unfortunately,
none of his rock classics "Star Struck" or "Man on the Silver Mountain"
were taped.  Why I don't know.

This brings me to Dio's guitarist, Vivian Campbell.  Dio has fronted some
good guitarists namely Ritchie Blacmore and Tommy Iommi but, Campbell
blows these guys away.  His guitar solo during "Heaven and Hell" really
impressed me.  Does anyone know anything about him?  I've never heard of
him before Dio but I'm sure he played somewhere.  If anyone has any info
or knows of any other vinyl he appeared on, it would be greatly appreciated.
