Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

[clouds882]

what is the word to describe ritchie..greatest, epic, talented? oh what about god..yeah, that's the right word! no one bends the fender like ritchie!

[Receiverheavy]

i wonder what blackmoore was whispering 2: ....

[yunesbb]

and the fender stayed in tune..........

[haisulilol]

Amazing cover.

[CrankCase08]

Graham Bonnet was such a strange phenomenon. He was one of rocks best vocalists but he looked like a complete soul boy.

[ReubenAdkins]

Well.........that was, interesting.

Blackmore has had better ideas.........

[ronshalita]

nice voice... that is the only thing POSITIVE that i can say about it... sorry ... I am not a hater... just musically does NOT make much sense ...

[MrAntIbarra]

Tommy played these exact type solos in Purple and was booed. Ritchie plays this for 100,000 (on probably the same narcotics) and gets praised as a god. Hindsight is always a funny thing.

[ShredWithEd]

Cocaine is one helluva drug.

[crazywonderfulmags]

AMAZING!!!!I tottally love it!!!!!!

[stoneyoung]

Anyway - the Rainbow-time with Graham was best time in order of arrangement and compositions. Very powerfull and classical rockmusic.

And about the solos of Ritchie - you may love it or not - but he can do and play whatever he wants to ... finaly it is very great artwork and none of all guitarists is able to do something expressif on the instrument like Ritchie does. He is unbelievable...

[gide171]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! i think all the versions of this song pretend to be so bful as the original song but this version, damn shit so much feeling and intense!!!

[Comuna]

what a fuckin great voice... Dont know why he started to scream so soon or say anything about Ritchie wanted to do it.

But anyway...Awesome.

[gahrzahk]

Amazing. I love Sixties girls groups, like the Shirelles, the Marvelettes, Dixie Cups, etc. and at the same time I can blast Deep Purple w/ Gillan and Rainbow without noticing any contradictions. Music is music, black or white, as long as you have soul.

[Redbob62]

I was lucky enough to be at Monsters of Rock in 1980 when this was recorded. I will never forget the look on 80,000 hairy leatherclad rockers faces when Rainbow started belting this ballad out. The cheer that went up at the end must have shook most of the East Midlands.

[rebb61]

The Best!!

[eloy1352]

It´s very difficult to compare guitar players from different times, specially Petrucci and Blackmore. Petrucci is perhaps very fine guitar player and probably looks up to blackmore. But during the 60:s and 70:s when Blackmore started there wasn´t no guitar players who did what he did, like Feedback, or violin effect or even use reel-to-reel tape recorder to get a compressor effect, and much more stuff.

[diagreen]

THE BEST.

[DuaneGib]

I can't look at the keyboard player without thinking about Eric Foreman from That 70's Show.lol

[solairekor]

Ritchie Blackmore, Roger Glover, Graham Bonnet, Cozzy Powel, Don Airey.... How awesome members! This is the best, i'm sure.

Many guys complain about Graham' singing, i know that. But don't you guys think Graham's voice got special something? humane, pure, wild, powerful....

Even though he's sometimes got mistake, i can't blame him. Cuz his voice is so fascinating.

[excudebat]

btw i like the part 2.20-2.23 very much

[excudebat]

bonnet sings great

[acidsid75]

Bonnet is a great singer!!!! Maybe not everyones cup of tea but non the less he is a great singer!!

[Silber7]

anyone noticed that the "noise"-solo was not the intro to the song? another victim to the editing of this great footage :(

look at his guitar at 3:02 and at 3:10... it's an other guitar, so an other solo. I guess they cut of his improvisation of Beethoven, which started very quietly before they recorded it as Difficult To Cure on the next album...

[klemens49]

@Silber7 You are right

[Wouterrj]

I love ritchie blackmore, but Graham Bonnet doesn't sing this good.

[spudnutsncoffee]

I never liked Bonnet that much either. I always wondered why Blackmore went with this guy.

[Noiseferatu]

Maybe because Ritchie has a better judgement than you. ***lol***

[szelidrocker]

It can be f*cking loud in front of those huge speakers! :D

[pamesabbath]

ritchie!!!! ritchie!!! ritchie!! you always will be the best of the best!! and yes you're like a rolls royce....how much feeling, how much good taste, how much quality!! there can be petruccis, vais...etc etc...but none of them is a fraction of what you're and none of them will never do what you've done!!!

[blackmorell]

blackmore simplemente eres el mejor aunque nombren guitarristas y guitarrisras esta cabron que alguien logre lo tu haz hecho, vamos ritchie puedes dar mas, saludos desde puebla mexico arriba rainbow, deep purple nunca pasaran de moda no son grupitos desechables.

[lolomokohej]

haha! Yeah! I've always thought so!

[arcangel6]

Great Voice!

[smurfberrycrunch]

WOW!!!

[bibirije]

easy thing, but a great creation, viva Blackomre! a guevo chicarrón con pelos...

[KayakMike1963]

Heh heh heh.... Bonnet. Actually, I'm kind of impressed by how hard he does work on his vocals. Too bad the same can't be said of his leisure suit attire!

[lolomokohej]

Ritchie is the best ever, and you people who can't take that, go and fuck some ones ass..

[wedge173]

@lolomokohej ok where is your mom

[RAWRAMP1]

hendrix was just noise,this is pure class

[kawasakiclaesson19]

you talk to much ...Blackmore will blow them away from the stage whit his power and feeling

[annaniasma]

How to compare to VH's Eruption? How to compare to Hendrix's. Rainbow Eyes and Catch the Rainbow were a rip-off from Jimi's Little Wings

[Rushillion]

Compare to VH's Eruption? You are the one who has been hoodwinked, old fruit. It's a simple guitar trick called 'violinning' that Blackmore and Page performed for years. All VH did was speed it up, but it's actually very simple. Ask any guitarist. If you want to hear pure guitar, Hendrix was the early master, but Blackmore & Page ain't bad. The best now in my opinion, however, is Dream Theater's John Petrucci.

[Picato75]

you can´t compare Petrucci with Blackmore. This is like comparing a Rolls Royce with a Ferrari. Ritchie has much more feeling and a completely different sound and style. Petrucci is more technical, but also great

[Rushillion]

Cheers, Picato. I wasn't comparing, just stating my own opinion. On that basis I would maintain that Petrucci is better technically, but completely agree that Blackmore has more feeling. The biggest compliment I can pay is that Petrucci should be better as he could learn from those before him, whereas Blackmore was a pioneer with a unique style.

[RantingGerman]

@Picato75 thats a terrible analogy...if anything...Petrucci is a Nissan Skyline..purely technical and no soul...and Blackmore is the Ferrari...simply beautiful, well-refined and full of soul.

[annaniasma]

Blackmore in my opinion is mediocre if compare to Vai, Morse or Malmsteem. These guys would probably blow him away on the same stage. None of his riffs of the same song were ever the same not because of his creativity, but because of inconsistency. His bassist, drummer and keyboardist had to subject to his whims and fancies during his 10 minutes aimless solos. I used to love him, but when I started to listen to other emerging guitarists down thru the years, I knew he had hoodwinked many.

[Guitarguy100]

Ritchie's best time: Rainbow!!!!. The live performance was great, the trash sound is one part of the show, young people loved it. Nice to see the last days of Rainbow. Thanks for the video.

[ijgutfu5]

MR. BEAN

muahahahaha :)

[zwey]

doesn't he looks like mr. bean?

[jwalken]

Oh man. I wish I would've never watched this. I liked him. He couldn't carry Jimmy Page's amp.

PAGEISGOD

[barrfmen]

If you knew anything about Blackmore and Page, you would know that Ritchie was and is an infinitely better live musician than Page. There is simply no comparison.

[RPJPJPJJB]

That's because Page was always full of heroin in his later concerts. Jimmy was a very good live performer in Zeppelin's earlier days. Nothing away from Blackmore though, a great guitarist.

[DURecords]

Sometimes when I see Blackmore like this, I understand why other people made fun of me for admiring him so much as a guitarist. It's like, just play the damn thing already!

[worcesterwombat]

I agree, what a waste of time and a load of self-indulgent pish, but he can play properly of course, as we all know!

[cassellkoch]

I liked it - a little like Van Halen's Eruption.....can never have too much distortion and feedback I say. Like the way it segues into the song [a fave of mine]...I'd often thought it would be good to do heavy versions of songs like that - like Vanilla Fudge did with You Keep Me Hangin On

[barrfmen]

Just play the damn thing already???? So, in other words, your not a Blackmore fan at all. The over the top intro is part of what makes Blackmore who he is. Even Hendrix could not get sounds like that out of a Strat. Hell, anyone could "just play" that song, but Ritchie turns it into a sonic extravaganza, and I think its great!

[Eimyrock]

Totally agree, live whit Rainbow he never really made it work in my opinion... Think he was bored whit the whole thing. Love him in Purple live and studio, and some of the rainbow stuff in studio is ok.

[diamonddave666]

Magnificent. I was there at this gig the first Donningtton in 1980. I never thought I'd see this again. BBC2 did a 30 min special but missed loads out. Thanks for posting this. I still go to Donnington, but things are not as good as this now. Still we have Kiss & Priest for 2008.

[kondurperu3]

I think they only played for 30 min in that show

[svetlitoo]

beautiful love song...

[zappator]

Blackmore's the king, Don rules, Joe sucks

[zappator]

Im sorry, I posted it in wrong vid...I love Graham

[imPos52ible]

Great stuff! I love Blackmore's Night, too!

[soundofpwnage]

Does a dvd exist...or video..or ever released.I have the" monsters of rock " LP,{inc's-saxon-april wine-riot-etc}Reason i ask is it has my fav- Blackmore blues on it -just great ...AND I WANNA SEE IT!{bring the mushy peas on!}

[kondurperu3]

there is no official dvd for this concert,but you download the concert in emule or ares

[mysticiax]

ritchie!!!amazing...but the answer is absoulately no:p

[hungry4rock]

I remember seeing this on Saturday morning TV Rockworld. My best buddy taped it with a portable cassetter recorder in front of the TV. I still listen to that worn-out tape.  Never thought I'd get to see it again. Thanks!

[mavartworx]

THIS is what got me into RAINBOW and became a fanatic, thanks for putting up this great momment in time :D -MAVIII(progulus.c o m)

[rage2203]

Great show. Ritchie is a legend and Graham is a fantastic vocalist

[WilliamGuineaPig]

Bit of a nasty trick but Graham Bonnet handled it really well.

[REDGRECIAN]

I think it was planned as they played it at some other gigs on that tour if memory serves me correctly

[apolele]

ritchie the master
