Ronnie James Dio is the most distinctive singer in the history of Hardrock, a voice that is strangely shocking, terrifying, and at the same time wild and emotional. Greatest Rock Vocal performance of all time... Unrepeatable and unparalleded
Ronnie had a powerful voice until he passed but in his younger days like in this video his voice was so powerful it was orgasmic, gave me goosebumps, God bless Ronnie
@@luamoliveira3467 listen I think Dio is one of the best vocalists ever and I don't think Coverdale is up there at all but for this song and its style, Coverdale was way better
Absolutely LOVE Ronnie!!!! Just heard Glenn Highes do a killer version of this last night live in Denver. Different vocal styles, both great. Dio is one of THE BEST voices ever though!!!
I trust you. Not everybody had the luck to see the master on stage. There's something about listening the music coming off raw from the band that it can't be matched by any video or music player.
How dare they interrupt the Master with these ads. Pure power channelled from below with such ease. While other vox have to push it out, Dio is containing a storm in that small frame. I love paradoxes. His additional lyrics are always profound. Bravissimo
Blackmore is one of the greatest guitarists ever in rock history but he did a great mistake in rock history too .... he kicked out Dio from Rainbow, and transformed the band to pop rock in the 80's. I don't think we all can imagine what Dio would offer to Rainbow. Long live Ronnie James Dio !
Ronnie James Dio blows this outta the park. Ian Gillian does it great but Dio REALLY takes control of this song! He owns it, his range and his band make this song their own. Ritchie Blackmore was a tyrant to work with but like most difficult artists out comes some great music. In my opinion this is Ronnie James Dio’s song, let’s face it! R.I.P. Ronnie thanks for the love, back atcha ♥️
The bit that starts around 6:10 is just incredible. The combination of that simple but oh so powerful drum fill from Cozy and Dio's amazing voice... Goosebumps. I can listen to that part over and over.
Dio take this song to another level.. as it has done with Dream ON by Aerosmith.. This happen when you're dealing with the legend of the legends..I don't know if someone will be able to sing Dio'songs better than him.. This is the difference.. RJD LEGEND ABOVE LEGENDS !!!
@@XXLRebel it depends, Styler is singing it obviously higher than Dio, but Dio's voice really penetrates me in Dream On. Personally, I like the cover a touch more than the original
@@XXLRebel Yeah but you've never hear Steven Tyler sing this song. Dio never sung dream On ( only wish) The comparison is difficult if we are talking about greatest song modern recording then Dream On gets my vote 🗳 that song 🎵 never gets old, you'll never be like oh man not Dream On again. Simple Man does that to lesser extent.
This line up played at the old Leroy Theater in Pawtucket, RI and they put on a show that was phenomenal as the music and Dio’s voice echoed off the walls, a great show by a great group of musicians at the time Blackmore guitar work shook the building as Cozy hammered the skins ! Outstanding! Show ! 😀
I like both (and other) versions, but the Dio version has more of an edge to it, which makes me love it most, but he's also got great soul in his voice too.
Thank you God, Jesus & the Blessed Trinity for giving the world this amazing Supergroup. Mr. Blackmore & Dio were in all honesty sent by the gods! themselves. Rock on forever, Rainbow ❤
Love Coverdale but Really love Ronnie,s Vocals just turn up and Smash it .Dio for me possibly the best Naturally talented Rock vocalist of all time ....................
I am a singer my self. And I know what it takes. Dio is without a doubt the best singer during the last 100 years or so. In any genre. Better than fantastic singers such as Pavarotti, Chris Cornell and Steve Perry. His vocal technique is incredible. He is a true virtuoso. Paired with top-musicality and great talent to tell a story. He was blessed with so many gifts. Most world class singer might have one dimension. He had it all. I miss him a lot.
Peter Majanen Ronnie and Chris my two all time favs. I can’t pick. Sadly both gone. Saw Ronnie twice. Once with sabbath early 80’s and rhen in Dio on the last in line tour. But saw Chris solo and in sound garden and audioslave. I still can’t pick.
@@TheoIam Dio was the blueprint to much of my personal singing inspiration. However, even having seen RjD many times, i only saw Soundgarden once, in San Francisco, and it was a 3+hour set. Cornell nailed every single note for over three hours. Playing and singing. I was so emotionally drained after that show. I’d never been so in awe, while at the same time, having nothing left to give the band emotionally. It was incredible.
also play guitar and have seen all rock stars and singers live more often. what Dio has delivered at Rainbow and Black Sabath, no human child on this planet has come close to achieving.
I love watching these videos and reliving when I saw the performances live, Ronnie's performances were always perfection, almost magical,no one will ever be better or even as good in my opinion and I have been around a while
Dio dio-ised this song and made it better, quite metal. I never liked the studio version but this one is incredible. Dio + Ritchie + Cozy = the best band ever
Yes, Coverdale had a much more bluesy tone & that’s where he greatly excelled, especially w/these kinds of songs. But Dio IS amazing here! Can’t take anything away from either of them.👍😊
I wouldn't say better because it is impossible to compare them. I would say that RJD sang this superbly, differently and flawless one of the best and hardest songs ever to sing as Coverdale used to do in the 70s as well.
Dio is still & always will be the greatest vocalist & I've seen Deep Purple perform this song with David Coverdale. But Dio....I can say no more & I've seen Dio as well. He had such great command & presence & I wish like all the others that he was still with us. Dio Diciple forever & proud!!!
David I as well although I never got to see Dio do his version. But I did get to see Dio perform at the now defunct Roseland ballroom in NYC & he put on a clinic that night & looked at me smiled & gave me the peace sign. That's a memory that I'll treasure forever. Dio Disciple for Life!!!!
RAINBOW is one of the best bands ever!
Ronnie's voice is so powerful and technical at the same time! RIP GOAT!!!
One of the greatest rock performances ever recorded 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
That's not a song, that's a work of art
Ronnie James Dio is the most distinctive singer in the history of Hardrock, a voice that is strangely shocking, terrifying, and at the same time wild and emotional. Greatest Rock Vocal performance of all time... Unrepeatable and unparalleded
RONIE JAMES DIO THE BEST SINGER OF PLANET HISTORY....!!!!
+Alondra Gib Янг Гилон лучше!
+Alondra Gib Really! I agree!
+Alondra Gib I agree totally.... wonderful taste and wonderful feet
No
Totally agree. Such power!
Dio just vocally attacks every song with a ferocity unmatched. Just a force on stage!!
A force of nature!
GOAT
The level of EVERYTHING is absolutly astonishing!!! It's too much for this generation!!! Dio, Blackmore... this i is the OLYMPUS!!!
This is a performance for the ages!!!
Well said. The best Rock vocalist to ever grace a microphone.
Ronnie had a powerful voice until he passed but in his younger days like in this video his voice was so powerful it was orgasmic, gave me goosebumps, God bless Ronnie
God is a fictional charater
David Coverdale sang this song way better than Dio imho.
@@peterhammer4644 No sang, Dio version is clearly better.
@@jupitermoongauge4055 and so are you
@@luamoliveira3467 listen I think Dio is one of the best vocalists ever and I don't think Coverdale is up there at all but for this song and its style, Coverdale was way better
Pure music. Nothing overproduced just skilled musicans with a passion for music. I love it
Cozy Powel is one of the best drummers to ever walked in this universe.
Him and Carl palmer and a certain drummer from Rush.
R.I.P ronnie,I love you forever
100%... he had a crazy badass pocket and groove plus all the chops too!
@@jacobbrown1690 Neil Peart
Can you imagine a line up like Cozy, Dio, Iommi and Butler? Best ever?
Legendary trio:Blackmore,Dio.Powell :)
Ritchie, ian gillan, jon lord :)
Dang. No love for Jimmy Bain? He was a bass legend.
Absolutely LOVE Ronnie!!!! Just heard Glenn Highes do a killer version of this last night live in Denver. Different vocal styles, both great. Dio is one of THE BEST voices ever though!!!
That voice is just food for the soul..
What a voice !
Many many bloody moons ago I had the pleasure to see Ronnie singing this song in San Antonio Texas trust me it was fuckin royal
I trust you. Not everybody had the luck to see the master on stage. There's something about listening the music coming off raw from the band that it can't be matched by any video or music player.
Dio is definitely phenomenal and there’s nobody better. Miss you Ronnie!!!!
Holy SHIT, they were great, weren’t they? NOBODY plays like this anymore.
A facilidade que Blackmore toca a sua guitarra é fascinante!
Saw them on this tour and at 63 still one of the best concerts ever!!!
06:11
THIS IS DIO!
GOD! Superb!
Rest in peace, master!
Dio.. such a incredible voice.., I think Munich 77 is one of the gratest shows of his career
Ронни, любимый!! Слов нет, они не нужны, когда звучит твой голос
How dare they interrupt the Master with these ads. Pure power channelled from below with such ease. While other vox have to push it out, Dio is containing a storm in that small frame. I love paradoxes. His additional lyrics are always profound. Bravissimo
the best rock'n'roll-singer ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon if he hadn't we wouldn't have got heaven and hell or of course Holy Diver
@@ideaaddict923 He probably would have written it for Rainbow now, wouldn't he?
@@XXLRebel The lyrics maybe but the song structures would be wildly different cos they were written by tony iommi and vivian campbell respectively
Nah, Graham Bonnet was his equal and the songs on Down to Earth were amazing.
Dio has no equal.
He just NAILED It .. Oh RJD
Ковердейл исполняет эту вещь классно ,но от Ронни вообще крышу сносит!!!Лучше уже никто не споёт((( Низкий поклон Дио
Не, не согласен. Голос у Дио мощнее, но оригинал лучше
Нравится больше,чем в On Stage
One of the best bands ever, what a lineup 👍
Dio e Coverdele, ambas versões ficaram magníficas!!!
Listened to Coverdale, in my opinion, and it s always is a matter of personal taste of course, he didn t even come close to Dio
All time most favorite performance and song!!! Mr. Dio and Mr. Powell!!!

Divino... eternamente.... monstro da sabedoria
Какие гениальные люди!!!!!! Дио земля пухом ты всегда в наших сердцах!!!!!
наверно до гробовой доски слушать буду этот голос
Да, второго такого на планете нет и наверное не будет…
а Блэкмору долгие лета!
You are so right. This is history. Ronnie james Dio and Ritchie Blackmore. I am speechless

Psalms 87:7 “As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.”
The best Rock singer of all times.
Yes, we've been mistreated after his sudden death.
Dio rules.
Oh poor Dio. You will never listen to these words but I wish you were still here.. if there is paradise, I hope you are in the music one.
Dio was such an amazing singer! GOD!
6.10 this is FUCKING PHENOMENAL. That "gigantic" dwarf was truly a marvel of the universe.
Love Coverdale but Really love Ronnie,s Vocals just turn up and Smash it .Dio for me possibly the best Naturally talented Rock vocalist of all time ....................
Безперечно, що DIO - стоїть у сонмі хардроковий БОГІВ!
Але..., НІХТО НіКОЛИ не виконав Mistreated краще, як Coverdale!!!
Disagree, also a matter of personal taste...Dio s much more versatile and natural at it. Coverdale did n t even come close
Слушаю много-много раз .... заряжаюсь оптимизмом.
Nobody is in Dio's league, and the awesome Cozy on drumsRIP to both these giants of music

Два гения соошлись и совпали! Очень жаль,что ненадолго!RIP Dio ! Здоровья дорогому Ритчи!!!!!!!!

The late great Mr. Dio just gave these songs the extra punch that just pushed them into the STRATosphere.
I was there. Falconer theatre Copenhagen. A great member for life.
Lucky bastard!
I wish. This was in 77 and i was born in 07.
@@ele7864 you've obviously got great taste in music though, that counts just as much.
No over the top three part harmonies, no digital mixer, no auto tune correction. Just a damn good band with an out of the world vocalist!!!!!
What a voice. Iconic.
RONIE JAMES DIO - Невероятен и неповторим. ДИО - Гений рока!
Angels are happy When you sing
Dio o melhor vocal heavy!!!
Lendário...
I simply cannot controll my tears during this outstanding rendition!
Astronomical out of this world ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful song, love dio and band.
It just doesn't get better than this, what a great performance, Ronnie is missed
Dio is one of the most underrated singers of all time. In my opinion he is up there among the best.
8 years later, still think the same?
Época de ouro, sensacional....e demais a interpretação vocal Dio, do guitarrista Black mour
DIO & BLACKMORE.....you don't need more words......FANTASTIC!
Este é Dio, o melhor cantor de todos os tempos
E absurdo né? Ele não erra uma nota.. chega a irritar hauhau
Il più grande cantante di sempre, brano perfetto per lui
Ronnie had one of the best voices ever !!
What a fantastic lineup! Can't get any better than this!
I love the way Dio sings this song. It's one of my favorites.
13 years later, still one of your favorites?
Hell yeah 😁
@@zenlikestate :D!!!!
simply the best!!!
Tantos mestres da música juntos no mesmo palco
Impressionante o controle e sustentação dessa nota em 6:10, só podia ser o Dio mesmo, ele faz com tanta naturalidade que parece ser fácil kkkk
Дио, замечательный вокал, самый лучший солист группы рейнбоу, хотя и другие хороши
Дио в роке- это Поваротти в классике!!!!
Дио великолепен и очень жаль что его больше нет с нами!!!!!!

Seen Ronnie James dio at sunken gardens long time ago. He was a beast .I wish I had a time machine is all I can say
Just brilliant Ritchie Blackmore
That stage was full of the best metal had to offer. The story telling accomplish by this band is still today unmatched.
6:11 to 6:18 coverdale's heart stops
I came upon this video in early 90s when i was abt 15 yrs old...that was the beginning of my love towards 70s classic rock😍
Ronnie probably did Mistreated better than Coverdale in terms of vocal, but no one can sing it as emotionally as David did. Both versions are epic

Same high note in Flight of Icarus, same song key.
The ending of the song is even a little bit the same.
@@j_freed Same note, but not the same...
He sings that in full chest voice so that sounds so thick and strong.
