What was amazing to me is that they're one of the few bands that can sound note-for-note perfect live. Def Leppard (saw them during the Seven Day Weekend tour) had that same level of perfection, and they put on a killer show! In later years, I saw Dokken. Even thought they sounded great, they just missed that level. Dokken put on a great show, though! My wife saw Dio some time ago, and said he put on an awesome show, too. I think he was touring with Doro Pesch and Yngwie Malmsteen at the time. Some of the big acts of today put on great shows, I'm sure. But I don't think any of them can top the majesty of 80's bands and their live shows. As for the videos, well, back then those vids were awesome. Compare them to some of the vids from pop-rock acts like The Cars, Starship, The Police and tell me that the production on those wasn't cheesy! I think the best videos were the pseudo-live, liveshot or stage performance music videos. The directors weren't forced to hire some special-effects geeks.
