Heaven And Hell - Live from Radio City Music Hall is an electrifying concert film that captures the magic of the reunion tour of Black Sabbath's classic lineup from 2007. The band features drummer Vinny Appice, bassist Geezer Butler, vocalist Ronnie James Dio, and guitarist Tony Iommi, who were all present on the Heaven and Hell album, which marked Dio's debut with Sabbath after Ozzy Osbourne's departure. The concert was filmed over two nights at New York City's prestigious Radio City Music Hall, and showcases the timeless power of the band's music.

The film opens with a montage of street scenes of New York City, establishing the iconic setting of the concert. The camera then cuts to a shot of the stage, where a giant circular screen displays an animated logo of the band's name. The crowd erupts as the members of the band take the stage, dressed in their signature all-black outfits. Dio, with his unmistakable voice and commanding presence, greets the crowd and launches into the opening track, "E5150," from the 1981 album Mob Rules.

With Dio's soaring vocals, Iommi's blistering guitar riffs, Butler's thunderous bass lines, and Appice's precision drumming, the band tears through a setlist of classic Sabbath tunes, including "The Mob Rules," "Children of the Sea," and "I." The band also performs several songs from their latest album, The Devil You Know, including "Bible Black" and "Fear."

One of the highlights of the concert is Dio's introduction to "Falling Off the Edge of the World," from the 1981 album, The Mob Rules. Dio tells the audience that the song is about being lost in life and feeling like there's no hope. He then dedicates it to all the men and women who serve in the military and says, "This is for anybody who's gone overseas and fought for freedom." The powerful performance of the song is enhanced by a stunning backdrop of images of soldiers and war-torn landscapes.

Throughout the concert, the camera captures the energy and enthusiasm of the crowd, which ranges from diehard Sabbath fans to younger generations discovering their music for the first time. The band members also interact with the crowd, with Dio jokingly asking for a slice of New York pizza and Butler thanking the audience for their support over the years.

As the concert builds to a climax, the band performs their biggest hits, including "Heaven and Hell" and "Iron Man." The audience sings along to every word, and the band seems to feed off the crowd's energy. The final song of the night is the epic "Neon Knights," from the 1980 album, Heaven and Hell. As the band takes their final bows, the camera pans out to the crowd, showing a sea of hands raised in appreciation.

Heaven And Hell - Live from Radio City Music Hall is a must-see for any Black Sabbath fan and a testament to the enduring power of their music. The concert is expertly filmed, with dynamic camera angles that capture the intensity of the band's performance. The sound quality is also excellent, with every instrument and vocal track crystal clear. The film is a fitting tribute to Dio, who passed away in 2010, and captures the magic of his legendary and all-too-short career.

Heaven And Hell - Live from Radio City Music Hall is a 2017 music movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 55 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 9.1.
