As anyone who attended any of the shows will agree, the best reunion tour of the past year, hands down, was Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio (a.k.a. Heaven and Hell).
The seeds of the tour were planted in 2006 when Dio got together with his former Sabbath bandmates for the first time in 13 years to work on some new material to be tacked onto the album Black Sabbath the Dio Years. The sessions yielded the cool new songs “The Devil Cried,” “Shadow of the Wind” and “Ear in the Wall.” More significantly, the musicians had a great time and decided to embark on a world tour.
The band started with a handful of concerts in Canada. Then, the first U.S. show, March 30 at Radio City Music Hall was filmed for the DVD Live From Radio City Music Hall, which comes out August 28, as does a double CD of the same set.
On September 5 Heaven and Hell will launch their final North American tour in Binghamton, New York with Queensrÿche and Alice Cooper in tow. Dates run through October 6 in Irvine, California, after which the band members will again go their separate ways for a spell. Guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler are expected to get back together with Ozzy Osbourne to work on a new Black Sabbath studio album and Dio plans to write and record a new record with his band Dio. However, after those projects are complete, anything’s possible, and while no one in Heaven and Hell has committed to recording or touring together again, none of the players have ruled it out.
Now that we’re bored you with that, here’s what you’ve been waiting for — the exclusive world premiere of Heaven and Hell’s video for “Shadow of the Wind”:

I was there and I can’t wait to watch the DVD- they were amazing and they still rule! Hope to see a real reunion Dio/Black Sabbath- what a potential!
I seen Dio several years back, he’s still doing his thing but I have to say I this track raised the hair on my neck. One of the best songs I herd in years now that’s what Black Sabbath is able to do!
PLEASE GUYS ! COME TO BRAZIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ROCK !!!!!!!!!!
I have followed Ronnie from Elf ,Through Rainbow seeing him with Black Sabbath the first time out & of course can’t wait to see them in September in Fresno,ca

great way to marginalize the reast of the world there. There are a damn sight more people OUTSIDE America than there are in, and considering Black Sabbath are a BRITISH band ( the two founding members of the band (Geezer and Tony) are themselves British citizens) its disgusting that you’re restricting videos like this to the United States”
What more can I say??? “There are a damn sight more people OUTSIDE America than there are in, and considering Black Sabbath are a BRITISH band…”
This means everything…
Hell yeah!! i live in Mexico and next august 30 im goint to see Heaven and hell!! im so excited ..that is metal….
I was just listening to 92.3 Krock here in New york.
They just play thier comerical for a series of concerts at Jones Beach (Long Island, N.Y.), so stupid thing about giving away tickets/contest “the ticket scalper”. So they name the band playing then a short clip of one of the bands songs. Simple right!!!??? So they annouce Heaven & Hell Sept 8th (which iam going to) and low and behold the song the play along with it is IRON MAN!!!!!. WHAT THE “HELL” is up with that??? The F in band is touring on “THE DIO YEARS” make big deal no ozzy tunes and these knuckle head play iron man. I this disrespect or stupidity?
Black Sabbath a.k.a. Heaven and Hell is pure unadulterated METAL !! This tour with Queensryche opening is THE concert to be at this year. This Sabbath lineup is the ONLY Sabbath in my opinion. Ronnie James Dio is still the master with Geezer, Toni and Vinnie backing him the lineup is complete once again. Heaven and Hell, The Mob Rules are the two BEST Sabbath albums in the catalog. The Shadow of the wind video is AWESOME!!! Can’t wait to get the DVD when it comes out.. Nothing compares to them live . Will catch them on tour in September @ Bing NY and Darien Lake Bufallo. John in Cortland NY Ronnie James Dio’s hometown
what a great tour , able to see them for the third time this comming sept 11 (nyc&philly) eairleir this year. i have to say , wow! what a great band, ive always had a soft spot for this particular line up and im so glad they did a reunion and of course a tour. each a master at their craft, and great as any before. rjd has be the best singer of all time! i simply cannot get enough of his voice.
as for the video…awesome!, as expected.
and for the moniker of ” heaven and hell” i love it!

I was at several of the recent shows and a lot of the old ones and I think that they are the BEST group to ever come along!!! http://www.diomessageboard.com
Black Sabbath, Heaven and Hell…whatever you want to call them…rock! I can’t wait to catch them live in September. The last time I witnessed this incarnation of Black Sabbath was back in 1981, The Mob Rules tour, baby!
