Review by Oliver Lorenz

The album "Catch The Rainbow Bulgary Sofia 98" by Dio is a live recording of the band's performance in Bulgaria in 1998. The album features Ronnie James Dio on vocals, Craig Goldy on guitar, Scott Warren on keyboards, Jimmy Bain on bass, and Simon Wright on drums.

The album is a testament to Dio's incredible stage presence and the band's tight musicianship. The opening track, "Stand Up and Shout," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its high-energy performance and Dio's powerful vocals.

Other standout tracks include "Rainbow in the Dark," "Holy Diver," and "Heaven and Hell." The band's performance of these classic songs is nothing short of electrifying, and Dio's vocals are as strong and commanding as ever.

The album also includes some lesser-known tracks, such as "Gypsy" and "Egypt (The Chains Are On)," which are given new life in this live setting. The band's chemistry is evident throughout the album, and each member is given a chance to shine with solos and improvisations.

Summary by Oliver Lorenz

"Catch The Rainbow Bulgary Sofia 98" is a must-have for fans of Dio and classic heavy metal. It captures the band at the height of their powers and is a fitting tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio, one of the greatest vocalists in rock history.
