  • If Richie feels good doing what he chooses,so do I :))

  • Ritchie Blackmore using playback?

    Oh, no ... That fallen ...

    The music is great, but seeing a living legend like Blackmore doing playback on a program like this is a real disappointment ...

  • I like the band and the song and ritchie is my favourite guitar player. But...

    Playing in a TV show with playback... That's a shame.

  • GREAT!!!

    what a style on that fender!!!

    incredible, one of the best solo of Mr. Blackmore!!!

    P.S. it reminds me Pictures Of Home, the same energy and intention in the solo!!

    and the sound too is similar at Machine Head but more elegant, absolutely fantastic!!!

    just to learn from this!!

  • More "power" to Ritchie; if anyone has earned the right to do whatever makes them happy, it's him. If you don't like it, don't buy the album or a ticket. I was lucky enough to catch Blackmore's Night live in Cleveland in '99 though and sat front row. Not only did Ritchie give us beers out of his 12 pack of Becks, he also took requests! Met the man after the show and he was nice as can be!

  • with all respect but ritchie's wife is very beautiful

  • Is she sucking or blowing on that pipe?

  • this is cool !!

  • Weird but awesome nonetheless. Joan Osbourne's "St. Teresa" is much more moving, by the way.

  • @ Mr. Alex If you knew the history here, Ritchie had wanted to do something different, and happened upon a minstrel group playing in a castle over in Germany . He loved them so much he offered his services on the SPOT...And was turned down! (I can't imagine turning down Blackmore) He then started his own minstrel style band and is HAPPY. So if you are a TRUE fan - be happy for him! I for one think it's cool to actually see him smiling and laughing in photos for a change!

  • I never heard any of this before. It's great. Give Ritchie credit for moving on and staying true to his musical soul. He has nothing to prove. He was successful in Rainbow with 3 different lead vocalists and numerous personnel changes. Where's D.Purple now with Steve Morse? Nowhere. Nobody cares.

  • Wow....just wow..... from world class virtuoso to a wig-wearing-lip-syncing-Peter-­Plan-clone....what a shame.... Okay, the wig was already present in the Purple-days, too bad his credibility as an artist was left behind in those times as well....

  • He has gone too far! From WORLD'S FAVORITE GUITAR PLAYER he will turn out to be WALKING GARBAGE! Just another pair of albums with this woman and a couple of years under her influence. SHAME WITH CAPITAL LETTERS!

  • the solo is classic blackmore

  • @JimiRayYng And they "REALLY" :) perform live! This is a shame!

  • @dickensbg at least they try to fake it well. :D

    I was wondering wtf right hand technique is he using? I mean, it's Blackmore, he could play this way if he wanted to. :D

  • the solo is classic blackmore

  • wtf?? the solo was hopeless..c'mon Ritchie, is this is what you've become? I mean not the solo itself, but how he ''played'' it.

  • lol

  • Lipsynching? Really Ritchie...cmon man...

  • what Teresa...Hope NOT that albo whore? I love this band..I don't want that disappointment...A whole life of that crappy so called Saint is compromised and not with a out a reaosn

  • surely! it'd sound much more powerful if u replace singer with Gillan or Coverdale or Dio (r.i.p. mr. Voice)! although Candice does it good enough!

  • behind blackmore I see a teenager who wants to rock again

  • If David St. Hubbins' girlfriend from Spinal Tap, Jeanine, had gotten a band together, it would've looked pretty much like this ;D)

  • @sonicavenga uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu you are right man !!!!! Funny !!!!!

  • @AAA1969 ;D)

  • what the $^%$^%$ was that sh#t. RB got his balls cut off somewhere along the way.

  • theyre not even playing look close what a ripoff

  • PLAYBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK :((((

    where are the ritchies improvizations

    playback singing to!

  • I can't believe that he is Ritchie Blackmore, the genius who made, together with Jon Lord and Ian Paice, Deep Purple one of the best rockbands ever. Yes, he is still great, but he sounds a bit strange. This is his style? A strange medieval-country-neoclassical rock. I love the alchemy between different styles, but this is too much confusionary even for Ritchie.

    P.S. What a sexy wife!

  • Dio said in some interviews, that he'll want Rainbow comeback with Him on Vocals and - yes! - HIM on guitar, but Candice' mother put all the grabs on business. So Ritchie, natural born outsider are under the shoes of wife or just - play what he firstly want ? He do what He do, Rock is his child too.

  • sexy

  • OMG! It is great!!!

    But it can be AMAZING! if DIO (RIP Master!!) sing it!! (I'm right or not?)

    Sorry for my english i'm a spanish speaker!

  • wow this is special ritchies playing his strat again and people should not judge candice for what she believes in and what pisses me off as a long time blackmore/purple fan is people saying she put a spell on ritchie thats bullshit ritchie just wanted to do something new its not that hes given up rock he just wanted to have a chance to do what he wanted folk medievel music he deserves the chance to do something else after 30 years of heavy rock music he is a legend and the best

  • not as good as joan osbourne, no way not even close.

  • VERY GOOD. KAMI ROSHANDEL

  • playback definiltely

  • Mimed to fuck

  • St. Tereza shows us the way...against all evil of our time...

  • Really lame....just...REALLY LAME.

  • i don't think the recorder was necessary......

  • No matter, Ritchie plays in Rainbow or Blackmore's night, his stratocaster sounds still typical blackmore's style especially from 2:20 to 2:52.

    He is my guitar god forever!!

  • WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC, BRILHAANT...

  • Oh my God...this is not even live..wtf..

  • great song - excellent !!!

  • @54120767922375 I disagree with you. It's a good song and it's all. The session is an awesome PLAYBACK!!!!, ritchie doesn't play!!!, watch him.

  • in this music is more rock then in todays so called rock

  • It's ENTERTAINMENT PEOPLE.....calm down. They played it in the studio, and that's what counts!

  • WONDERFUL SONG !!

  • This is great, but it does look like lipsync for the video. Watch Ritchie's fingers. Any way, Candace can brainwash me if she wants.

  • Blackmore is just some complacent diva who thinks he`s very `special` & obviously wants to be `worshipped`. Just a silly type. Ha!

  • is that the same sunburst strat ritchie had with rainbow in the 70,s because it looks like it fucking nice guitar

  • I'm afraid it is true, he's being brain washed, except his guitar playing style hasn't been changed, the rest is , well you can see yourself. I'm been his fan for almost 30 years now, but unfortunately he is used by her , who cares anyway, she is not taking my space so let her be lol

  • She's obviously been to the same mime school as Cheryl Cole, and for who was once my "guitar hero" to also be miming is an absolute disgrace ! Nothing to do with being closed minded, but Jesus, I cannot believe it !

  • @fender44 Especially coming from a musician who in his studio sessions, used to record the whole band together rather than laying each track separately.

  • Comment removed

  • eso es playback!! you sucks blackmore

  • Eleos!!!!!

    

  • MY GOODDDD!!!

    what a stye, A STYLE!!!

    ... Blackmore is amazing and that Strato sound is so powerful and gentle, omg..

    make me cry... BLAAACKMOOOREEE, STUPID DUMBASS!!!! *-*

    (xD)

  • What a freaking embarrassment. Richie the sellout puppet. Looks like "fun". 

  • to me, it's obviously that they're not playing live here, it sounds exactly like the CD-version. I can know it, because I have the CD here, at home. I also have a CD where they ARE playing live, and you can hear the difference.

  • no pick?

    omg

    how can he play the solo?

  • Top notch musicians - and German TV has them as lousy fulll playback. I´ashamed to be German.

  • Love it!

  • Ritchie Blackmore?unbelivable ,your fans definately do not want to see you in such a way,please come to reform again the great band . For sure none would like Steve in deep purple .tonight I just watched the show in hong kong,Steve cannot be the key man.

  • All I can say...... WOW AMAZING,INCREDIBLE

  • THis is painful to watch.....

  • Is playback?????

  • i guess bitchy , oops, Ritchie, likes fucking this (admittedly) gorgeous woman over playing with the boys in Purple....and SilverWolfMoon? Can you honestly say Blackmore would be doing this music with a GUY singing lead ?? Pleeeasse !!

  • @getchasumm He wouldn't do it if he didn't want to. Maybe the fact that he found such a perfect female singer is the reason he isn't doing Deep Purple anymore. Jesus Christ, how would you feel if made to do the exact same bloody thing for thirty years when you wanted to do something else, just because "fans" want it?!

  • @getchasumm Yes, I *can* honestly say Ritchie would play this sort of music with a male lead singer, but then it would be too close to the wonderful Jethro Tull!

  • there really faking it guys???

  • @EmilBlueLime Apparently, they had to perform to playback - it's a standard requirement of the German TV shows. That's why Ritchie's behaving as though he's not there ~ he knows they need to do this publicity stuff, but he's not happy at the situation

  • @SilverWolfMoon Wow Ritchie did look kind of upset to when I look at the video.

  • what does playback mean?

  • @EmilBlueLime They're faking it playing along to a recorded track, like an MTV video.

  • @asherasator I noticed that too but it has gone on since recorded music and will continue to the end of times. No getting out of it!

  • What a neat song

  • Wicked song! : D

  • jaja seguro lo hizo aproposito son re tarados se creen todo

  • good song,playback

  • noticed that too... wtf!

  • hohohohohohoho!!!pure blackmore.i love you so much but....shit!sorry guys!

  • naaa x q ritchie toca sin pua? :o

  • por q ?? te jode ??

    como si estuvieran tocando en vivo ... :S!!

    solo es playback ,ademas Ritchie es ta bueno q se puede dar el lujo de pararse y tocar absolutamente nada total.... es PLAYBACK...

    larga vida a CANDICE Y RITCHIE

    ....amo a Candice Night... =("!

  • it sucks big doodoo when the people paying the bills force you to lips sync and you are powerless to tell them to go bugger off

  • @FabianPhilippoussis:

    What about Iron Maiden? ;-)

  • cheeziest lip sinc I've seen in years.

    Ritchie looks bored, especially when he's strumming rythym chords during leads.

    Deep Purple is touring halls all over the world and he's playing fake guitar on local tv

  • @ccr1965 best comment EVER...love it!!

  • Fingerpicking shred :P

  • Ich sag´s wie es ist, mir platzt der Kopf wenn ich Ritchie in so´nem Clownsoutfit

    seh. Allerdings, wenn es das ist was er will, ist´s o.k. Trotzdem hätte ich ihn lieber

    auf der Rock´n Roll Bühne gesehen....

  • Comment removed

  • Stevie Nicks called and wants her dress back. :P

  • intanto in germania alle otto di mattina fanno sentire sta musica da noi c'è luca giurato alla stessa ora.

  • mmmmmmmmm li dont llike this shit but ritchie´s is fucking this girl heeeeeeeeey hahahaha de a tubo!!

  • dude, they're on live tv, playing to a recording. duh.

  • Quanto talento sprecato.

    comunque lei chissa cosa gli ha fatto per ridurlo così.

  • Blackmore con quegli occhialini pare Aleandro Baldi! :)

    PS. lei come cantante è una cosa agghiacciante, ha una delle voci più piatte che esistano.

  • dio on bass!

  • It's from playback, too bad. TV requires it to be so. But she's one lovely lady.

  • blackmore vestito da folletto non si può guardare

  • doesnt anyone else thinks shes miming??

  • you haven't lost it Ritchie.!!! you are still one of the BEST ;0)))

  • Candice Ni9ght isnt a good singer, but this is charming :-)

  • I really wish Ritchie would swallow his pride and either go back to Deep Purple or reform Rainbow again because he just LOOKS ridiculous in this getup........not to much mention this stuff just plain sucks.

  • i totally agree with you .....actually in the beginning i thought it was a parody of blackmore.........

  • I understand why Blackmore plays that crap..I would do it too

  • I hate blackmore night i love ritchie but in deep purple-rainbow hard rock

  • well then if you like deep purple the you would know that deep purple was a folk group first he has just gone doe's what he has always loved

  • name a folk song that Purple did?

  • Not much a folk group in like Blackmore's Night.

    But DP dit make some classical orientated musix in the late 60ties.

    Songs like April and Anthem for instance.

    But not folk music like Ritchie plays now.

  • Amazing how many closed-minded people there are here, with all this crap about Ritchie being 'brainwashed' or 'controlled' by Candice. They have been together since 1989, she co-wrote several songs for the "Stranger in Us All" album, and Ritchie himself has said he is now making the music he always wanted to {and he still cuts loose with the 'Rock' on their albums}. Heck, did no one else notice those 'Mediaeval stylings' back in the Deep Purple / Rainbow days?!

  • @SilverWolfMoon well of course like sixteenth century greensleeves for example =)

  • @SilverWolfMoon no they didn't notice. no such crap back then.

    and I haven't seen Blackmore fake-playing to the record since some Rod Evans era stuff... But then it probably had technical reasons. Stop, I'm getting sick talking about Blackmore. Great musician of the old rock days, etc, but money-crazy to the bones and intolerable.

  • @assa123assa123 If Ritchie was 'money-crazy', why would he be making music that so many of you closed-minded Deep Purple and Rainbow obsessives hate...?!

  • A great cover of Joan Osbourne's song {and Candice sings it wonderfully}, but such a shame they were forced to use playback for it :(

  • whatever.

    This chick doesn't have anything on Joan Osborne.

  • Bleck! I'm a HUGE fan of Blackmore's Night, but this is NOT a good cover. It lacks the soul, feeling, and depth of the original. It seems very wrote. They're simply making noise, in my opinion. Thanks for the upload, but the performance gets a big ol' thumbs down.

  • I think you need to hear the actual album version {including the intro which has been left off here}, but without this 'faked' clip. The music would then be able to speak for itself...

  • I actually like this Gypsy version. Nice. Not a letdown at all. 5 stars

  • Like the older Blackmores night songs better, think this is a bit to popish for my taste :/

  • I likes joans version better :(

  • During Rainbow/Purple'age, Blackmore never would play in programs like it. He is loving your blondie (maybe the only women that passion) and forgot heavy rock. Sad, but true.

  • Comment removed

  • Great joke, dude :-) I love you Ritchie

  • I think TV channels obligate them to do playbacks :D

  • oha...playback... und so offensichtlich...

  • R B a lion on gage whit guitar

  • 2:03 so cute!!!!!!

  • he does it on purpose, making fun of those who play always in playback! Check the irony!

  • check out the solo on this song. this is so funny fucking ritchie is not even using a pick.. worst playback ever....wearing black shades...ritchie is not even in the room..probably wondering what to fuck happened to me....if it weren't for this candice piece of ass..id b touring fucking rocking the world. ..fuck u Yngwie..give me back my throne.....buuuuuu

  • after reading ur comment i hesitated to answer merely because you obviously are retarded or just high on a pound of peruvian's best..but let me just clarify that I idolize Ritchie's guitar playing my comment was in regard to this playback video but apparently you failed to grasp the meaning of my comment ..next time get some of the 1% brain u make referenced in your message and use it..

  • if you have 1%of brain...wow you will be smart :D

    bb noob :D

  • solo reminds me rainbow days :)

  • No Soul - Corny Version

  • "WrinklyWrocke says: Jeez, Ritchie has joined the smurfs :-0 " ... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

  • The guitar solo is quite tasty..but hahah ritchie can't do playback well

  • Jeez, Ritchie has joined the smurfs :-0. Then again, maybe not, at least their music was meant to be funny, for kids at least. The smurf outfits fooled me for a minute haha! Obviously his new wife Cnadice, lead singer with this mob, has brainwashed him, cant blame him for that as she looks kinda hot and if I was in my sixties and had the sniff of a pretty gal 30 years my junior, I'd be happy to smurf it up too. Let's face it, he can't be playing with this bunch of losers for any other reason.

  • So many people are critical of Ritchie following his current musical direction. He has nothing whatsoever to prove with rock music , having recorded plenty of iconic tracks, so why shouldn't he play this style? I think he is just laughing in the face of his critics a lot of the time but they don't get his humour. Of course he can mime in sync, he may just be playing up in front of the camera here.

  • This is bad Circulus.

  • Playback. But who cares? It's a nice song.

  • Beautiful song!!

  • I knew I heard this before, but couldn't place it. Joan Osborne - of course. This sucks. I cannot stand playback / lipsyncing, and it's even worse when it's done this poorly.

  • OK... Been mad at Ritchie for a long time, for unimportant reasons. Always thought he was pretty good though, so lately, been trying to 'rediscover' some of what made us love DP so much back in the garage band days. Give him 'another listen' so-to-speak. Having said that... I sincerely hope he is happy in this life, and good luck to him. Because THIS... this is shockingly bad.

  • o shes beautiful,,lovely

  • Comment removed

  • I'm sure Ritchie and Candice had their thing in the past if you know what I mean ;) ... Lucky him and her...

  • They are currently married...to each other!

  • I know that now... Right after I posted my stupid comment, I saw that they were married... Well, he's a lucky guy! Go damn it! She's so gorgeous and beautiful! Just wonder how wild the sex is with her! Just look at her! Whoa!

  • calm down

  • lol

    I think you misinterpret my comment of thinking I was talking crazy...

  • I love her bunny theeth....

    And i really enjoy this song...

    god, im getting old

  • their story is similar to one  of Hercules and Omfala... Candice is wearing a lion's skin here/

  • Please Richie, if you are surfing youtube one night and stumble across this, just take a moment to look at it. What do you think?

  • Rtichie can´t or won´t play a good playback !

    That is nothing ! Great frustration !!!

  • He never was able to playback well. Check out the official videoclip for 'Gates of Babylon' by Ritchies band with Dio called Rainbow. The solo is TOTALLY out of sync :)

  • I say, check out Fireball (performance from some british television show) where he makes fun of the whole concept of playback, it's wonderful. Here he atleast tries, which is lame

  • cuek!

  • Ritchie Blackmore after they left the Deep Purple and Rainbow, has left us sad for their fans not to hear the best guitarist of all time, playing with his Fender! Return to Deep Purple Ritchie! Let your wife at home because she does not sing anything!

  • Hey honey, I got a flute for you! Sorry had to say it.

  • A nice cover but has nothing on the original

  • essa mulher e cheia de caras e bocas, boca de chupa rola!

  • beautiful and wild-my favourites!!!!the best

  • playback xd

  • Nichts gegen Blackmore's Night, aber ich bevorzuge in diesem Fall das Original. Im übrigen: Leider Playback again....

  • Oh my gosh, I love that basstapping! I am a bassplayer myself, so I can't help noticing the awesomeness in it.

    Candice is really a wonderful singer, nice voice!

    I kinda hate Ritchie a little bit for this(no I don't but whatever), since he makes guitarplaying seem so easy while I find it so damn hard!

  • wow...ritchie really doesnt mind the rest of the world!!! jajaja

  • [:)]

    Uaooo! Demaisssss

  • My gosh, come to brasil please!
