Ritchie Blackmore -- guitar/bass

Nice clip of the band playing along to this song. Dio's vocals sound live (?) but I think the rest of the band is just miming.
Fantastic line-up that we'll never see again unfortunately; rest in peace Cozy and RJD.

The ads shown here were added by UMG - total dick heads.

  • The band is just miming along to a no-vocal mix of the studio track-- RJD's vocal is live. Kind of hilarious to see Ritchie blithely ignoring his own recorded lead, and blazing away with something completely different. He never plays a lead the same way twice-- I'd like to hear what he did here!

  • @leftystrat76 Me too!

  • That is one kick ass tune. No matter how many times I hear it, I just can't get over how Dio never lost his vocal power. His talent was rare and precious. I am just grateful to have been born in 72, and grow up through all the REAL metal and REAL singers. I like the new stuff, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, but those guys cant touch Dio, Bruce Dickenson, Ozzy w/Randy, Rob Halford, and(I don't want to hear it, I dig this guy) KIng Diamond.

  • Indeed Dio's voice is live cause he misses the second verse, the one of the carivan, and repeats the first. Still a great version

  • Dio's voice & how he is on stage gives me chills.  Such passion.

  • Dio's performance on this is awe-inspiring.
