This is the song on which ALL classic rock must aspire to be. Simply the best written, the best played, the best performed.The best ever leader of a band!! Richie, I hate you and yet I love what you've done. LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL!!!
A truly EPIC song and one of my favorite songs from a superb album. Rainbow should take a well deserved bow for such excellent work. The wizards and warriors from the realms of Eternity will still be applauding this powerful masterpiece of rock music.
Living in Lng Bch for decades, hear on radio that Rainbow is going to play at San Bernardino Swing Auditorium, my first thought was, where TF is SB?, the date is my b/d, so, we buy tickets. 2 days before gig, my car takes a crap! Older bro to the rescue, drive his old '56 p/u truck. All decked out, me in my 'undertaker suit'. Pulled in, & it's empty. Go up to doors, see note, concert is canceled. CHP must have seen us leave, & pulls us over. Talked ourselves outta jail, it was play in steering!
@JohnsFavRockers I just tried to download the photo I promised, natch, no show.lol..OH my brother says that it was a '46 GMC p/u trk, not a '56..my bad.
The quality of the recording only serves to bring me back to the days when I was young and so happy to get bootleg recordings of my favorite bands. The sound is so majestic and pure.
Boo..hiss...hiss to bootleg recordings. I'd do this: take paper/pencil, write down start time, name of bands play in order, songs played in order. Plus any special notes from performance. Like Prince getting booed off stage, and he comes back, and pisses on stage..I thought the group had potential with him on guitar. Anyway...get back home, buy the album that bands promoted in concert, record each song played onto reel to reel. It's my own version of...'is it live, or is it Memory X"...later!!
MrVirgilius@ I absolutely agree with you my friend.There is no band with the same sweet magic that Rainbow of Blackmore and RJD.For 30 years I am listening to them and none is coming even closer.I am sad Blackmore and RJD did not do more together .Do you know any band like Rainbow of Blackmore and RJD? let me know :-)
@rebb61 Looks like the intro ended up on Tarot Woman, but this version is know as the "long studio version" and is an early mix from Cozy Powell's collection.
Remember the concert with rainbow back in the 80:s. about 10 000 and then the concert a couple of years ago in åkersberga (a remote suburb of stockholm) with only a few hundreds.. but RJD...you still rule...
Never gets old!!!...This is Ronnie and Ritchie at their peak together!!!...One of the greatest heavy rock/ or whatever you want to call it songs ever written!!....Enternally great spot on !!!!....RIP RONNIE
Indeed, one of the greatest (hard-)rock songs ever, from 'the past'... That's true, and one of my favorite ones, still. But, saying that this level of muscians never will be assembled again is a bit over the top because also now there are such great bands with great music... And there will always be...
one of the 10 greatest rock songs ever recorded! Every bit as epic as Stairway or Layla. Never will this level of musicians be assembled again. Sadly =( RIP Dio and Cozy
Good times in Passa tempo(Brazil),years 70,in the times of my adolescence,without love,but happy .Thanks DIO, for me remember that times.Goodbye my friend.
este video começa com a introdução do tarot woman do mesmo disco, para depois o solo do Cozy
