Mike Portnoy and his Transatlantic buddies have paid tribute to Ronnie James Dio.
The band ran through Dio-era Black Sabbath track 'Heaven and Hell' and stone cold heavy metal classic 'Holy Diver' at last night's show in Milan.
Portnoy stepped up to the front of the stage for the impromptu jam, which you can check out below.
