Movie Reviews of Dio - Sacred Heart: The DVD
Movie Review: Corculum Sacrosanctum
Summary: 4 Stars
Get out your capes and scepters! The swagger-stick wielding god of rock, Ronaldus Deus Maximus, pelts fans at the Philadelphia Spectrum with fire and ice in this excellent concert video, originally taped in 1986.
Watch this DVD, and you will know for the first time, whether we are, indeed, evil or divine. There's one problem with this video, though: Dio doesn't belt out the vocals with the same intensity and lungpower that he does on the studio records.
That said, he more than makes up for it with showmanship, a great (for its time) laser light show and a set conducive for him, of course, to Slay the Dragon. It sort of has the same theme as "Lord of the Rings," only this has actual entertainment.
For Dio doth deliver on songs such as "Rainbow in the Dark," "Sacred Heart," "Rock and Roll Children" and "The Last In Line." Not enough Sabbath representation. "Heaven and Hell" always bringeth down the house, but I'd wished that he had included "The Mob Rules," "Sign of the Southern Cross" and "Children of the Sea" (he blew an excellent opportunity to enact one of his patented amalgam tunes, which he could have called "Rock and Roll Children of the Sea."
Nonetheless, lords and ladies faire, this is still Dio. Dios. Deus. Mein Gott in Himmel.
There is only one. And he's on this disc.

Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed the concert DVD: Dio - Sacred Heart. The set list was good and the performance was fantastic. RJD and the boys were in fine form.
But I was disappointed in the production (produced by Wendy Dio). The footage was blury at times, the mix was poor (guitar was way too low in the mix). It just wasn't crisp.
Movie Review: I love Dio, but I don't love this.
Summary: 2 Stars
This DVD starts off good enough, with a great version of King of Rock and Roll, but then it just gets too synthesizer heavy. The rare A Special from the Spetrum video blows this away in terms of heaviness and song selection. Rainbow in the Dark is good as always but where is We Rock and The Mob Rules? Dio's 2003 Evil or Divine DVD is way better than this. The biggest reason to get this would be for the stage show which Dio won an award for. Most bands don't have cool stage shows like this any more. Why wasn't the concert footage of Hungry for Heaven shown rather than the song just being played during the end credits? Look for the import We Rock DVD which includes half of the Special from the Spectrum show and part of another concert from 1983, both with Vivian Campbell on guitar.
