This version is best - the genius of the original Yardbirds, the cream version at the Rainbow moderate 75er debut album and the trashy version of Boney M. tinker left outside all times - do not compare with the top track on "On stage ". But Ronnie James was on vocals and Cozy on drums too grandiose, as has the voice here and in general these rainbow cast not the slightest chance against. This version only lives of Ritchie's intricate guitar playing. Rockin' greetings from Germany.
i saw purple at knebworth and ritchie was not good as rainbow he rocked but this album slipped under the radar and its great please kick candice into touch and make ONE more album the last rainbow album we have rised and been over lets have the end of the rainbow.........
Check out my vids, I make them on things like loss and solitude, loneliness ect .. I'm only 15, but I try to give my view on these things, and I hope you find it helpful and insightful.
I saw DOUGGIE WHITE with Rainbow in 95 and with Malmsteen,in 2001.Good technical generical singer.You can find in any music school nowadays.Dio was one of a kind..No way to compare...
Now I'm sad.Some selfish fuckers from my school make me fell like this.And I was trying to find a song that would make me feel better.And you know now know I know what to do.
@jreese71 This was from 1995, I think. His folk band is Blackmore's Night, some really great stuff. Live they always crack out a Purple/Rainbow tune or two.
goddamn!!!! in what far off corner of the world did Ritchie find Doogie White??? Holy shit talk about a near replacement for Dio... good job Ritchie... as always.. except for Blackmore's Night.... bad job.... u been P-Whipped my man...
This song was made it by Yardbirds in 60s, however origin is actually 1600 tales monks pray!! I have to admit that never heard any other 400 years old music which is fabulous
One thing has always bugged me about this otherwise great song: is the melody SUPPOSED to be the same as in "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" or is it rather an unfortunate coincidence? I mean honestly!?
@MisterUtterson You should ask The Yardbirds as they are the original writers/recording artist of this song. Ritchie covered it on the first Rainbow album as an instrumental.
"the best guitarist the world has ever seen has stuck his head inside a pussie for about 20 years...."
Thing is, though, after 40 YEARS of music, Ritchie Blackmore has EARNED the right to do as he pleases. He's 65 years old, a new father this year (Blackmore's son J.R. is old enough to be his half-sister's GRANDPA!), and has been with Candice for nearly 20 years. Sure, I'd rather see him do another Rainbow album, they're my favorite band, but I won't begrudge him doing Blackmore's Night...
I've been a GIANT Rainbow fan from Day 1. Ritchie Blackmore has been my musical hero since I first heard Highway Star from Made In Japan on Sept. 5, 1973; yes, I remember the EXACT date...I had my high school senior picture taken that day. I bought every Rainbow album the first time I saw it in the store.
Up until today, Sept. 7, 2010, I had never heard this version of this song. Maybe because 1995 was a tough time for me, I never got around to buying it. Damn. Better listen to it NOW!
@Rorschachxx1985 I bought them all on vinyl. I bought them all on 8 track. I bought them all on cassette. I bought them all on CD...except Stranger In Us All, which I now have every song from that album bookmarked on Youtube. So yeah, you might say I like them all...as most people like every album by their all-time favorite band...
Sadly, not all singers can be Ronnie James Dio. On the plus side, not all comment-thread troll-tards can be Varvara10. So you see? The universe has balance in it.
The part when the singing starts (the oh's, going higher in pitch) reminds me a lot of "Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden. Of course after that it's totally different. Well, I like both songs anyway, so I don't mind. :)
maybe a little, but Doogie is a much better singer, in my opinion...also, you can check out his work with Yngwie Malmsteen and Cornerstone..he's a very underated singer and many people have never heard of him...this song and the entire Stranger In Us All is my second best singer under Ronnie James Dio with Blackmore/Rainbow!
RJD is the vocalist i enjoy listening most throughout the years, and to think the one show he played, here and i didn't go- ill never forgive myself for that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dio does a nice job on this one - Totally different from the original version sung by the late Keith Relf, but then, the Yardbirds definately influenced Rainbow!
I like all versions of this song. I like the solo in the instrumental version in the "Richie Blackmores Rainbow" album. When there are lyrics I like this version because the tempo is a litlle slower and the singing is more to the point with less improvization however I would have liked it very much if DIO (of whom I am a gerat fan) sung it like that.
First, if this singer were a crap be sure he never sang in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow! Second, so he is one the great vocalists of Rainbow along with Dio, Bonnet and Turner! His name is Dougie White!
wtf? retard. Dougie White is great and a well respected singer in the music world. A crap singer doesn't work with world renown artists like the ones found in Rainbow, Empire and various other bands.. Including Malmsteen and still have success.

Maybe it's a great version for guitar fans, or someone who heard this one first.
But I think it doesn't get in touch with the spirit or emotion of the original Yardbirds version.
