  • I think the guy next to steve morse might be rocky blakemore - not sure.

  • This is NOT Ritchie Blackmore.

    And he is also not Ritchie Blackmoore or Ritchie Blacmare ;D

  • @lw48wp4 you have right.of course this is not ritchie blackmore.two guitarists.with blue guitar is steve morse from deep purple,with red guitar is steave morris from ian gillan band.

  • @lw48wp4 you have right.of course this is not ritchie blackmore.two guitarists.with blue guitar is steve morse from deep purple,with red guitar is steave morris from ian gillan band.

  • una situazione simpatica,io blackmore non lo vedo.

  • No ! ....I'd recognize him anywhere ....thats definitely tony iommi...& inspector morse on the other side.

  • thats not tony iommi ,tony;s a lefty

  • he is definitely not ritchie blackmore, he is steve morse.

  • thats not Blackmore its Bernie Torme

  • where is ritchie blackmore?????????

  • R.I.P Dio you'll be missed.

  • Great version. Just a comment. The another guitar player is not Ritchie Blackmore

  • 4 a momenf i thought u ment ritchie blackmore i cant spell worth shit either i bet dio is still living the dream

  • Comment removed

  • WTF??? Helllo Ritchie ? This was your riff. The whole London Orchestra showed up, not to mention some "close" mates? Where the fuck were you? That's a crying shame.

  • The guy with the red strat is Steve Morris.

    He played with Gillan in the early 90's, before "The Battle Rages On" came out.

  • THAT"S RICHIE RIGHT THERE!! Red strat...come on...who else works the tremolo bar like that?!?! This an all-star jam, and some promoter came up with the right numbers for them to say "yes"...must have been a fortune.

  • Whoever wrote blacmare Ritchie would do well to return to school to learn to write pffffffff mdrrrrrrrr BLACKMORE it's going to bed poor fool

  • No Ritchie Blackmore on that stage. As someone else rightly said, you will never see him sharing the limelight with Steve Morse - chiefly because Morse could make the self-titled 'Man in Black' look like a complete chump without even trying, and Blackmore knows it. Was odd to see Gillan with dark hair again though!

  • Blackmore with another guitar player in the stage? NEVER....is Steve Morris.

  • is not blackmore. However, the version is excellent. Dio, Gillan LaRue, Morse,Glover, Paice...More than enough

  • That's Steve Morris, not Ritchie Blackmore... btw, Dave LaRue on bass, that's awesome!

  • It's Steve Morse, who's been the guitarist in Purple for some time now. Ritchie Blackmore is doing Renaissance type music with his band & wife in Blackmore's Night.  Check it out.

  • WHERE'S RITCHIE?????? I WANT RITCHIE BLACKMORE!!!!!!!

  • Realmente não é o Blackmore, e tem sete otários que não sabem o que e um bom Rock'n Roll!!!!!

  • Thats Steve Morse!! not Blackmore

  • 1:10 is that a dude?

  • Where's BlackmOrE?

    Playing the red Fender? hmmmmm... no fucking way!

    But Dio & Gillan together?... WOW!! A real time to celebrate! lol

  • Ronnie was under used here. The songs vocals are a bit bland compared to his usual stuff. Listen to him singing sabbath stuff from ozzys era too, you can hear he's kinda bored.

  • F A N T A S T I C...

    this is the only word to describe this Concert

  • donde esta ritchie???????????????

  • STEVE MORSE, NOT BLACK MORE! Grrr!!!

  • Ritchie Blackmare xD lol FAIL

  • There is NO Ritchie Blackmore inthis scene... lokk carefuly

  • Where is Blackmore :( WTF...

  • No offense to all you Ian Gillan fans but Dio sings this song way better then him and its Ian Gillans song ha.

  • Who's playin the red strat?

  • Hate that I got beaten down by a freakin merchant at Sweden Rock Festival before I was heading to the Deep Purple gig. Guess my drunk'ness was too much, still can't remember why he hit me in the face. But I heard this song playing live while sitting in the First Aid tent, bleeding like a geyser

  • It's a shame Ritchie isn't there....

  • @cjvk3 Not like you're missing much. The guys famous for one riff and had the balls to shittalk Stevie Ray Vaughan & Jimi Hendrix: "Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player, he didn't do anything amazing. " "I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, he wasn't a great player. His guitar playing was always a little bit weird."

    There's Blackmore for you. Mr. 3-note Riff. LOSER.

  • That is not Ritchie Blackmore I can tell his guitar sound alone. that is not his face either

  • Ian Gillan has an eerie resemblence to a demented coroner in this vid... but the music is FANTASTIC!

  • Rickie Blockhead, Blackmore is not even in the UK on this.

  • .... And Ritchie Blacmare - HAH-HAH-HAH!!!

  • that is not blackmore... jesus...

  • Steve Morse will take offense at you... :-(

  • this NOT RITCHIE BLACKMORE with them.....You are mistaken

  • @rythmhawk I agree, I do not think that's Ritchie either. I am not too familiar with his appearance at that time but this guys mannerisms do not seem to match Ritchie's. Not 100% sure but I still think it's a great performance. Wow, Steve Morse is awesome, check him out on another vidoe of this show doing Rainbow in the Dark.

  • @melodicexp It is A GREAT performance and more because they play also ELF'S songs with DIO from the ''Buterfly Ball''...These songs hasn't been played for years...Steve Morse Also is a HUGE guitar player and a musician in general.

  • ALL THE ROCK KINGS TOGETHER .

    AWASOME VOICES

    RONNIE RIP

  • DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO :P

  • RJ Dio was THE rock vocalist. Period. RIP.

  • Ronnie you will be missed bro

    Long live RJD

  • 500000 comments about the guitar player, none about the awesome music.

  • ITS NOT RITCHIE BLACKMOORE

  • @earlyblue its not ritchie blackmoore either.

  • @earlyblue

    NO RITCHIE

  • @earlyblue No...true ..but as the title says - it is Ritchie Blacmare.

  • @earlyblue Whats this ???????????

    not ritchie blacmare ? ..or ritchie blackmoore ? ...well ive never heard of them anyway..

    but i have heard of ritchie BLACKMORE.

  • i dont see blackmore there

  • I think the man with the red guitar is Steve Morris who play with Ian Gillan in solo

  • Jon Lord is there!!! But NO BLACKMORE!! Who is the mustachio guitarist? He looks like he was in Uriah Heep!!! LOVED the CLIP!!!

  • 1. where's Richie Blackmore.? 2.It takes three of them to replace Richie B. 3. Steve morse is not as good as Richie Blackmore...if it wasnt for RICHIE, Ian gillan would be who is today,.with a job.this is not deep purple ,with out Richie Blackmore...

  • That´s not Deep purple

  • dude epic

  • simplemente genial!!

  • who is the guy playing the red guitar!!

  • @bandi1013 I dont know his name but I think he was in Ian Gillan's solo band Gillan. The reason Ritchie does not appear on this video is because he left and was replaced by Steve Morse.

  • Play it!

  • No Blackmore, but this is an AWESOME OVERLOAD

  • LOVE Steve Morse!!

  • I love Ronnie James Dio! Such a shame he had to go :( When he died the world truly lost one of it's greatest performers!

    Ronnie James Dio - Rest In Piece :)

  • that~s not Toni Iommi, he is left handed and plays a Gibson SG, not a fender strat,

  • Where the hell is ritchie????? the only reason I lost my time seeing this video.

  • R.I.P Ronnie James Dio

    Ritchie Blackmore does not appear, at any time.

  • R.I.P Ronnie James Dio

    Ritchie Blackmore does not appear, at any time.

  • Wow this is amazing.

  • No Ritchie in this one. It's Steve Morse & Tony Iommi. Someone needs to change the title.

  • @PompanoBob I hope you are not referring to the right handed guy playing the red strat. Not Iommi.

  • Don't get much better than this CLASS !!1

  • Change the title of this video. There is no Ritchie on the stage...

  • Dio, Ian Gillan, Jon Lord, Steve Morse, Ritchie Blackmore, London Symphony Orchestra... Even a small drop of awesomeness more and the world would've imploded!

  • It's not Ritchie it's Steve Morris, former Ian Gillan Band guitarist. Anyway he and Ritchie seem to share the same wig ;) Good guitarist though.

    Saw that same line up in Vienna, was a great evening and a great performance. Smoke in the end really rocked.

  • It's not Ritchie Blackmore or Tony Iommi. I believe it's Ian Gillan's guitarist from his solo stuff

  • @Photoman15 steve morse i believe.

  • The second guitarist is Mick Moody from Whitesnake. He played with Jon and Paicey on the Whitesnake albums Ready an Willing and Come an Get It.

  • I loved the video, but I do have to say, I was dissapointed because Ritchie Blackmore was NOT in this. The guitar player is Steve Moors from an album with Kansas, "Power" and earlier with his own band, The Dixie Dregs. RIP Ronnie James Dio! I loved ya and can't standd the thought of no new music from you. If you havent seen it yet, look on youtube for Dio "Elektra" for his final recording before sucumbing to stomach cancer. It's a great song!

  • Ritchie Blackmore was not involved in this poor masquerade.

    I only enjoyed watching Ronnie James Dio (RIP) and Jon Lord there.

    There is no Deep Purple without Ritchie, no matter what.

    Ian Gillan should better retire or do something else, Roger Glover also.

    They are just breaking the aura. Sad show.

  • @runwithawolf I think you're a litle harsh here run. This version is pretty good. Love the massive sound of it and Ronnie joining in. Would have loved to see Richie having fun with them too, but sadly he doesnt seem to like fun too much lately.... ;)

  • @imwillingandable agreed... making folk pop with his wife? How is that fun

  • @NerdWerld

    It's not folk pop dumb ass! Its classical/Celtic folk meets progressive rock, which is extremely different I might add! Not that I expect you to know that after calling Blackmore's Night folk pop!

    And it is very fun if you enjoy classical guitar and multi-intstrumentalists.

    In other words Blackmore's Night is not for the ADD inflicted hard rock fans, BUT its is no where near folk pop (the music is simply too intricate and progressive for pop).

  • @PsychedelicTeen I love classical guitar and multi-instrumentalists but calling Blackmore Night anything respectable above folk pop is just too derogatory. I don't see how Blackmore's Night is intricate or how the hell you see anything progressive in that. To me it just seems Ritchie wants to retire as a lazy bastard playing a fiddle, and covering every old song he wrote and co-wrote with his wife.

  • Adios Maestro. Rock in Peace Dio

  • i dont think dio and ritchie ever played in recent yrs,i mean i know the whole rainbow thing they played together.

  • Awesome.. I guess there were also Frank Zappa singin in the chorus, while gillan saying "Frank Zappa and the mothers", but Ritchie Blackmore couldn't be there..playing with Steve Morse..? WTF?! Lol

  • who is the guy with the red strat if it's not ritchie blackmoore? I dont reckon him

  • ritchie............... i thought that asshole walked away on DP along time ago

  • Where is Ritchie Blackmore????????????

  • is the dio guitarrist, ritchie blackmore was never smile like the man of the video (sorry for my bad english, i am chilean

  • ok..my bad guys..I guess it isn't Blackmore after all..looks a whole lot like him though..I just can't seem to understand why lifeless assholes wanna try to bitch a total stranger out in responses to a video..anyways..back to this awesome video.

  • I didn't see no Ritchie Blackmore. Haven't seen him play w/them since 1987. Not sure they needed an orchestra but everyone seemed to be having fun. Gillan and Blackmore infamously hate each other. I mean in a really bad way. I miss Dio so much. What a great metal role model.

  • I think Richie is in this video. Freeze the frame at 3:14. The guy with the dark hair playing the red guitar. Compare it to this photo I pulled up.

    Ok I can't post the link. I "Bing"ed his images and even found one with the same guitar.

    If you really want to see the photo that I found.... "Bing" this.....

    blog guitar heros richie blackmore

    then pick the heading that starts "The Plastic Mancunian."

  • @RandRdriver

    That's not Ritchie Blackmore. That is Tommy Iommy with red guitar.

  • @ipoturic I binged and found a Tony Lommi as the others have mentioned. He played with Black Sabbath and Ozzy. After all the photos that I saw, I have to agree with zulerna and TurboFang about Tony playing left handed. Tony does look a lot like the guy playing the red guitar. But I found a photo of Richie with THAT guitar. I have been unable to find any documentation to confirm that Richie was indeed there.

  • @RandRdriver

    That's Tommy Iommy with red guitar, not Ritchie

  • @ipoturic Lommy is lefthanded..LOL

  • @RandRdriver

    That's Tommy Iommy with red guitar, not Ritchie

  • @ipoturic

    Well first, he's actually called Tony Iommi, and second that's not him cause Tony plays left handed like Jimi Hendrix.

  • theres no ritchie blackmore here , dumbass , is steve morse

  • this isn't ritchie balckmore, this is some onther guy playing with deep purple, but he's good, and steve morse too

  • richie blackmore not blacmare

  • What a retard. Ritchie Blackmore wasn't within fucking earshot of this gig.

    Get your eyes (and ears) checked. If Blackmore had been there, you wouldn't be hearing much else but him tearing the whole room a 2nd and 3rd arsehole.

  • someone should stick that baton up the maetro's ass.

  • the second bass player is dave larue and that is ritchie blackmore...with dio..holy shit!

  • @hagan4860 man, do yo really think that guy is ritchie blackmore? i'm a deep purple fan, and let me tell you... why don't you see that fuckin' dvd and look if he is blackmore? i mean, if you think that guy is rb you don't know a shit! however, in the dvd credits you can see that guitar players name, he's not ritchie blackmore

  • This has 'Marketing' written on it and I'm not buying.

  • Steve Morse on Guitar Guys! 

  • The Original line up of Purple was by far the best ever. Gillan on lead vocal, Ronnie James Dio was great, Joe Lynn Turner had his day in the sun, The Battle rages on, said all there is to say, Gillan and Blackmore can not stay in the same room or on the same stage, but together, they have made wonderful rock music for 36 years I recall. I love to rock, my wife loves Classical music, we only agree on Deep Purple.. Please Mr. Ritchie, let Mr. Gillan give you one more lesson in what success means

  • The 68' Strat tha Blackmore used in the 70's was the best Strat in my opinion, Best guitar other than the Les Paul.

  • Happy birthday, my beloved friend!

  • ronnie says "in the sky iiii" at 02:29. my favorite part.

  • both iommi and blackmore misses the gig. where u find them?

  • cool vid, but who's Ritchie Blacmare? :P

  • With all this guys playing they would make a crap song sound good, and here's what happens with one of the Ronck and Roll anthems... GOOOD \m/

  • I really hate when morse does thoese solos!

    it sounds like a fukin water pump its sound shit!

  • Hahahahah XD honestly! if cant see that it sint ritchie ro iommi than you rather blind!

  • the 1st girl at  1:12 looks like lionel messi xD !!

  • @3al0kA Tha is hillarious. It is messi LOL. Greatest striker and vocalist in the house people.

  • @3al0kA lol yessss

  • @3al0kA lol

  • Blackmore! 

  • The guitar player is Steve Morris - an old buddy of Ian Gillan, appearing on some of his solo albums such as Toolbox and Naked thunder - check them out!

  • can i find this concert on dvd?

  • @streets1390

    Check amazon.com or your local record store

  • Hey... guess what... Richie Blackmore is not in this .. nor will he ever have anything else to do with Ian or the rest of Deep Purple !

  • Ronnie was one true class act!

  • @zooropa2day You said it bro!!!! What a incredible musician!!!! R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio!!!!

  • Where's Richie Blackmore?

  • The taller guy with the Strat is a guitarist in Ian Gillan's band actually guys

  • fantastico!

  • RIP RONNIE.

    Great singers, great song! Even without Blackmore(((. Very great!

  • Nossa !!!! Não acredito que um idiota teve a coragem de dizer que essa formação é com Ritchie Blackmore.............e Detalhe , ainda escrever Blacmare ....sem comentário para você se desenformado .

    ou melhor babaca.

    Sem Mais

  • R.I.P. ronnie james dio.

  • Wow, this is actually pretty badass.

  • Blackmore????? ahah...

    DIO R.I.P.

  • That's true, the second guitarist resembling Tony Iommi a little is Steve Morris who worked with Ian Gillan during his solo projects. Do not mistake him with the first guitarist, Steve Morse.

    R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio 1942-2010

  • The second guitarrist is STEVE MORRIS.

  • where the f....k is blackmore?

  • R.I.P. you Metal God...you cannot imagine how much uve touched my life with ur voice...i will make sure that I like so many others will keep your legacy living on forever!!

  • Are you blind? That is not Blackmore.

  • I've said "hat guy is not Ritchie nor Tony Iommi", I meant "He is not Ritchie, and He is not Tony Iommi either". I guess I've written fine. And if I didn't, I said "Sorry for my english". And I also said the guy in the video "is part of the orchestra".

  • non c'è BLACKMORE imbecille non capisci un cazzo!!!

  • Where`s Blackmore?

  • @pedrucci87 Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Blackmore isn't even in this vid. l see Steve Morse.

    RIP Ronnie

  • ritchie blackmore , not blacmare

  • What a voice!

  • Ronnie James Dio (and Ritchie Blackmore) never had a better line-up since Rainbow in 1976-1977 when they recorded Rising. To me, Tarot Woman remains the most emblematic heavy rock song ever.

    Rest in Peace Ron, we'll all miss you, but we'll never forget you.

  • dio looks great for 65 in this video. r.i.p

  • Gives me chills

    R.I.P. Ronnie

  • R.I.P. Ronnie

  • Funny, I see Steve Morse and NOT Blackmore.

  • R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio!

  • Damn this makes me smile

  • Where the hell do you see Ritchie Blackmore (and not Blacmare)?

  • Richie doesnt have enough class to play with his former bandmates

  • Now,if Dio,Gillan,Tony and Ritchie did an album together,that would be great!But unfortunately,it wont happen.

  • blacmare? LOL

  • the guy in black is actually Larry Iomi, tonys little brother

  • Actually....looking at it again, the man in black cannot be TONY IOMMI as the man here plays right handed and Tony plays left....obvious really.

  • Gillan, Dio, Glover, Paice, Lord, Lommi and others...but no Blackmore.

  • No Ritchie and no Toni Iommi...

  • This "man in black" is not Ritchie Blackmore, nor Tony Iommi. I don't know who is he, but unfortunatelly, he is not one of them for sure. Anyway, the gig is excelent! :)

  • @BalkhAryan Steve Morris, from Ian Gillan band.
