Last In Line - The Chance, Poughkeepsie, NY - May 4, 2019 - Setlist and HD Video

Saw Last In Line on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY.  

Last In Line features Vivian Campbell and Vinny Appice of Dio's classic line-up along with bassist Phil Soussan who took over upon Jimmy Bain's passing. Andrew Freeman, a local to the area, is a powerhouse on vocals.

The band started out paying tribute to Ronnie James Dio by performing sets made up of classic Dio songs (just songs by the band Dio, unlike Dio Disciples who include Black Sabbath and Rainbow era RJD songs in their sets as well).  This soon led to the release of an album of original material, Heavy Crown, which first brought the band to the Chance in March of 2017 - and now they've returned supporting their 2nd album, "II"

I thought the band were fantastic in 2017 and I would say they were even better this time around.  I originally went to hear the classic DIO tracks performed by these original members; and even now with two albums of original material, they still dedicate nine of the 16 songs played this night to those classic tracks - but their original material is hard driving kick ass hard rock/metal which easily stands tall with the Dio classics.  Lesser bands would see constant beer and bathroom runs when the oft dreaded "we're gonna play you a new one" is said, but these tracks instead make you want to do a merch booth run at the end of the show to pick up the albums.

I didn't take any photos at this show and just one video of the band performing the Dio track from which they took their name.  See them when they come around.  

Here's the video and the full set they played that night.
