Each time I hear Ritchie Blacmore I´m convinced that was a plot to unrecognize him. His career was longer, more proficous than others with more respect as Jimmy Page, a superior guitarrist in fact but not so consistent, technical as Ritchie Blackmore.
And one advantage more: In the stage Blackmore plays. Oh! He does: with superb, melodic, harmony, ferocious solos and sometimes delicated as a feather.
Blackmore is amazing. I was given this album in '77 BEFORE i had Machine Head. It blew my mind and i was only 13. Guitars and Rock and Roll shaped my life and still, to this day, move me. I no longer compare the guitar greats. All are awesome in their own way. RIP Ronnie.
I a 44 and still love this song I remember the good old days, with some good friends and a crate off beer we listen to this album and say to each other there is no beter guitar player in the world than Richie and unfortunately Dio who left us to soon (god bless DIO) was and is still the best singer in the world. Ach these were the good old days
Richie is ONE with the GUITAR....it is an extension of his body...of his soul....it is like he playing with himself.........ok not going there but had to mess with ya'all. RIchie Rocks and that's a fact Jack!!!!!
Ritchie plays the guitar like no other. It just has a effect deep down into my soul.. I can just close my eyes and listen to him play till the day i die.
This is my favorite live performance ever. Blackmore's playing touches me to the core. Cozy and the rest of the band sounds amazing, and Dio puts so much emotion into the song! \oo/
In the world of rock there are few who can sing like Dio, and there are none who could play guitar like Blackmore. Together with Cozy they were a band that produced magic music. Now, sadly, Powell and Dio are dead, God bless Ronnie and Cozy.
Van Halen, Malmstein, [insert your favourite shredder here] etc may all have had the fingers, but Ritchie had soul. And his fingers weren't half bad either! My favourite musician without doubt!
Rainbow was a great band and Ritchie Blackmore is a legendary guitarist, but I'm sorry, his 30 minute guitar solos are way too long and start to get wearisome after a while. There are other awesome musicians in the band that deserve to be heard as well, especially Dio. RIP Ronnie.
@whahooyzero, I hope you didn't forget it was Ritchie who was being detained by the German police and delayed a major show for awhile. If you own the DVD of this concert, you would know that. I am sure this is something Dio would get himself into. But we do agree they were perfect together....... for a little while.
ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME kiss my ass, you will not induct Deep Purple or Rainbow?!?! WTF whose next that Justin Goober dork!?!? Thats ok the greatness of Ronnie James Dio is beyond the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame!!!!
Bottom line: It was a perfect time for these musicians and they created some of the best music. No arguments there!! Ritchie for 30 years, was one of my favorite guitarists... along with Schenker, Montrose.. and many legends, but he was always a little off center on stage. But to piss off someone like Dio and to turn your back on this style music to play some medieval BS...... sorry, lost a lot of respect for him. Could you imagine the music they could have continued creating????
@DrDougMusic1 True, but he turned his back on Dio for some top40 bullshit is what he did. No if Dio and Jimmy Bain stayed but they had Tony Carey or Don Airey playing with them, it would have been some damn good prog-metal. After all, they created the prototype for it in their own way...
@DrDougMusic1 Medieval BS? I resent that, Ritchie has done a lot of good material in BN(though the vocals kill it sometimes I admit) and that genre is far from an easy one to play.
And as for the pissing off Dio thing: Dio was easily pissed off so it doesn't bother me.
@Whackooyzero. Sir, I have been a die hard Blackmore fan way before I even knew who Dio was. But when you produce MAGIC like this album and others, you just can't help being devastated when they broke up. You cannot think Dio was the more emotional one of the band?????? He got along just fine with the boys from Black Sabbath. Cozy love Dio. Behind Michael Schenker, Ritchie was my tops. One of a kind. But Dio had an effect on him in the later stages of Rainbow. Show me facts otherwise
This is een awesome performance of catch the rainbow. Blackmore plays so easily, Corzy shows why he was one of the best drummers in the world. And R.J. Dio voice made "the rainbow" complete. Two of them are no more. Respect to Cozy Powell en Ronny James Dio....
I have literally had to write dozens and dozens of comments explaining to you NEANDERTHALS that Yngwie plays with more fire and passion then you ever will! Ritchie is a genius, yes that is totally true. I like Ritchie just as much, but if YOU think Yngwie is a poser:
Shut up and listen to Icarus Dream Suite Op. 4, Eclipse, Amberdawn, and Overture 1383 and tell me he has no feeling. Seriously TRY. You'll fail.
I said you had to listen to the songs first. And if you are honestly trying to say that Icarus Dream Suite from 0:56 to 3:00 or so has no feeling then you're dreaming. Not to mention all the other songs I have mentioned.
Seriously, I know you're opinion transcends humankind and all who dare challenge but try to flock with the commoners for a little bit. Actually give the songs a chance.
I appreciate the fact that he tries to play slow but it lacks the soul. It doesn't feel as though he puts as much "love/feeling" into his solos as Ritchie Blackmore or David Gilmore did. Not to mention other artists.
Lacks soul? What do you want him to hold a bend for 10 seconds and then play a 3 note pentatonic minor lick and proceed to the next 10 second bend? Just because it's not bluesy or "soulful"(what is it supposed to be James Brown?) doesn't mean it doesn't have any feel, emotion, or melody.
Though I do know what you're saying to a certain degree. But since when does feel = blues?
Ok, you clearly do nto understand what I'm saying. I'm not saying that it should sound bluesy, all I'm saying that Yngwie lacks emotion. I can "feel" the "emotion" Blackmore puts into this but for example, Dream Suite, I find that it is quite "empty" and "hollow". I appreciate that he makes a nice attempt and I do see how he is an incredible musician. But, there is something missing. A little...something
Well I suppose I can see what you're saying. And I do agree he has a tendency to not play too heartfelt and live he over plays at times but I still am a huge fan.
@Whackooyzero I like Malmsteen very much. I mean, it's a joy to play some of his songs, such as Trilogy Opus Suite, Amberdawn, among others, he's really good. But I won't pay to see him in a show, I always see him surrounded by an aura of "I'm the fucking best", like if he's trying to demonstrate how kind of amazing player he is instead of enjoying the song as Ritchie does (just to give an example). That doesn't mean he's bad at all, don't misunderstand me, but I won't pay to see him on stage.
I choose not to compare all the great classic guitarists. They all have their own styles and feeling. Some seem more sloppy in their playing, but have lots of feeling. And some are more technical and precise, but still have a feeling of their own at the same time. They all produced some very timeless music that will never go out of style.
I don't like going through the logic who is best guitar player. Indeed there are many guitar heroes, each one of them with the style that mark rock music. Guitarists like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Brian May,Pete Townsend, have marked rock history. Being guitarist my self, top at my list is Blackmore: For the technics he is using on the guitar, he is really so good, the scales he is using(influenced from classic music and Barok),but most of all the passion that comes out from each note he touches
@zenica12 i love richie but all those guys were sacred. it's really not fair to say any one of them is that much better than the rest. they're all amazing.
sky is close and the heaven is just beyond... Thats exactly were they belong to. This song is a tribute to my youth and I'am just getting younger and younger. Something pushes me ahead, no its someone. Or all of them? It doesn't matter, just let our mind flow away through the waves of memory.
Ritchie Blackmore & Jimmy Page are both among the best guitarists there ever was and will be. Have respect for both of them! Imagine them both in a band as twin-guitarists back in the 70's .. OMG! :D
Page is so boring sometimes and his stuffs comparing with the beautifull sound of blackmore are dry and poor.Blackmore is developing himself even now.Page is doing same music as before.Riche is full of ideas and his love to the clasical is amasing...I love this guy:)
thx for posting; Ritchie is the king! How many times was he awarded best guitar player? It was a perfect combination with Dio and never reach again later.
I love Jimmy Page, but hes not in the same league as Ritchie or Tony. I hate to say this but the more I listened to Jimmy I started noticing some sloppiness in his giutar work, hes just ot as clean in his picking or fret work as Ritchie nor Iommi!!!
surgpath24... yes, he's very sloppy, but try to play some of his licks and you'll realise you cant do better. he's as good as Ritchie/Iommi or better. his versatility and innovation is unmatchable.
i'm a big fan of Ritchie, but i really doubt he could match Page's performance on the live album "How the West Was Won" recorded 1972...
man i never knew who was better but i just got the entire Zeppelin discography a few time ago and now i have NO doubt of Page's superiority. Page can do anything!!
Page was sloppy alot, but my friend thats not all that makes a great guitar player is how fast and clean they are. Page could compose just as well as Blackmore and could write WAY better songs than Iommi and also is a better solo writer. Page kills him in terms of versatility as well. Just listen to the houses of holy album. Iommi has no album as eclectic as that. You need to look alot closer to see what makes a player great. He is in the same leage, he just has different strengths.
The combination of Dio and Blackmore will never be matched. As much as I love what Dio did with Sabbath, he was at his vocal and spiritual height during this performance.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he's a good guitarist, but i think angus young from AC/DC gives a better performance physically. The guitarist here is just face down on his guitar and not much to watch.
what the fuck are you on,angus is a 3 chord wonder man,ritchie is a genius,he doesnt have to act like a twat to be noticed,no gimicks just ritchie and he is truly mesmarising and he new it,and so should you.
AWESOME!!!! Blackers was truly the god of guitar no one and i mean no one to this day could even aproach this guy in his prime he was just ridiculously talented other worldly as his old band mate Roger Glover described him as
Rainbow' s-beste Anordnung überhaupt. Geben Sie sie für Ritchie Blackmore, der entscheidende Riffmeister auf. Und lassen Sie uns das awesomeness von Cozzy Powell, Rest nicht vergessen im pease, wohin Sie sind.
Why does almost everyone here mention how great the guitarist and singer of a certain band or song is? A masterpiece like this ist the work of everyone in the band! Listen to Powell on the drums, Mickey Lee Soule on the Hammond, Clavinet, Mellotron and string synthesizer, and Brain's bass and how they contribute to the song with their playing!
It's not a single person that makes the sound, it's the band! Listen to the song a couple times and concentrate on one particular instrument! Peace!
about 2:50 in he makes a run where the whole thing just explodes. I cant really put in to words how Blackmore plays, the way he layers one run on top of another, just building and building to a gut wrenching crescendo. His guitar playing tears me up to be honest.
THE BEST IS YET TO BE!The grand wizard of classic rock.A poet of hope for the downtrodden.The single most important vocal tehnician in the rock history.DIO,s voice and presence is a really glamour and his music is a light pleasure given away for our souls.We can,t imagine RAINBOW without DIO!Gifted with a great talent and a splendid voice DIO is an angel who GOD loved.He was,is and he will be always THE BEST!Long live R.J.DIO the METAL KING!!!
kreo ke este es el mejor directo de esta cancion, con la alineacion que tenia la banda en esta epoca..... ya luego fue otra cosa pero cuando estuvieron en este a;o fue lo mejor y el dvd ni ke decir..... gracias por tener la 2da parte.....

i had the great fortune to meet cozy,imet him at rich bitch in brum he was with tony iommy they were working on a black sabbath album he was a great guy i spent 3 days with him he will be beating those drums and god will say shut the f--k up cozy give it a rest top bloke......RIP.
I have to agree with you jaguar. I met Cozy when I worked as one of the Hammersmith Odeon managers in 1984. He was with Whitesnake at the time and we chatted for a good while during the sound and pyrotechnic tests. Top bloke, sadly missed.
Cozy was IT. The best. I am a drummer and I try to keep the spirit of Cozy alive . I wish that he was still here. And I am still hopefull for a Rainbow reunion in some form.
I've just come across Rainbow within the last few days. I knew of them before but never listened to them. Amazing. Now I know what style of music I want to play. I've been into modern Metal for a while but this is where it's at. Real man music but with a lot of emotion.

Now compare this to the '100 in a dozen' shit what is called music today. Need I say more ?
I bet that none of the House, Trance junkies knows this song. The children of today are missing out on some incredible music and I am happy I 'lived' in the other period, the period of real music.

Page could compose just as well as Blackmore and could write WAY better songs than Iommi and also is a better solo writer. Page kills him in terms of versatility as well. Just listen to the houses of holy album. Iommi has no album as eclectic as that. You need to look alot closer to see what makes a player great. He is in the same leage, he just has different strengths.

@codebabe Iommi's actually quite ecletic, he does a lot of cool Jazzy stuff.

The combination of Dio and Blackmore will never be matched. As much as I love what Dio did with Sabbath, he was at his vocal and spiritual height during this performance.

he's a good guitarist, but i think angus young from AC/DC gives a better performance physically. The guitarist here is just face down on his guitar and not much to watch.

what the fuck are you on,angus is a 3 chord wonder man,ritchie is a genius,he doesnt have to act like a twat to be noticed,no gimicks just ritchie and he is truly mesmarising and he new it,and so should you.

Rainbow' s-beste Anordnung überhaupt. Geben Sie sie für Ritchie Blackmore, der entscheidende Riffmeister auf. Und lassen Sie uns das awesomeness von Cozzy Powell, Rest nicht vergessen im pease, wohin Sie sind.

Why does almost everyone here mention how great the guitarist and singer of a certain band or song is? A masterpiece like this ist the work of everyone in the band! Listen to Powell on the drums, Mickey Lee Soule on the Hammond, Clavinet, Mellotron and string synthesizer, and Brain's bass and how they contribute to the song with their playing!
It's not a single person that makes the sound, it's the band! Listen to the song a couple times and concentrate on one particular instrument! Peace!

about 2:50 in he makes a run where the whole thing just explodes. I cant really put in to words how Blackmore plays, the way he layers one run on top of another, just building and building to a gut wrenching crescendo. His guitar playing tears me up to be honest.
gab99 3 years ago 5
Ritchie Blackmore seems to having sex with his guitar. His feeling is simply amazing, noone like him. He's the Best Guitar Player in History.
DreamHealer87 3 years ago 7
Agreed...though he shares the top spot with a few others like Jeff Beck, Uli Roth, Allan Holdsworth, Roy Buchanan...and maybe a few more.

THE BEST IS YET TO BE!The grand wizard of classic rock.A poet of hope for the downtrodden.The single most important vocal tehnician in the rock history.DIO,s voice and presence is a really glamour and his music is a light pleasure given away for our souls.We can,t imagine RAINBOW without DIO!Gifted with a great talent and a splendid voice DIO is an angel who GOD loved.He was,is and he will be always THE BEST!Long live R.J.DIO the METAL KING!!!

I have to agree with you jaguar. I met Cozy when I worked as one of the Hammersmith Odeon managers in 1984. He was with Whitesnake at the time and we chatted for a good while during the sound and pyrotechnic tests. Top bloke, sadly missed.

Cozy was IT. The best. I am a drummer and I try to keep the spirit of Cozy alive . I wish that he was still here. And I am still hopefull for a Rainbow reunion in some form.

I've just come across Rainbow within the last few days. I knew of them before but never listened to them. Amazing. Now I know what style of music I want to play. I've been into modern Metal for a while but this is where it's at. Real man music but with a lot of emotion.

Now compare this to the '100 in a dozen' shit what is called music today. Need I say more ?
I bet that none of the House, Trance junkies knows this song. The children of today are missing out on some incredible music and I am happy I 'lived' in the other period, the period of real music.
