Both are equally so good. David Coverdale has a more bluesy sound and fits well with the sadness of the song, but Ronnie's vocals are on another level. Suggest checking out the California Jam "Mistreated" to get a good taste of the original.
Undoubtedly, the Rainbow version. RJ Dio's performance is breathtaking. Which does not take away from the merit of David Coverdale who remains an exceptional singer. But Dio rules forever.
Deep Purple easily. David Coverdale had a bluesier aspect to his voice than Dio could ever hope to reach. It's a blues song... Blackmore however is just amazing on every version I've heard. A true master
One of the best Dio vocal performances. Love this song so very much. The whole 1977 Munich concert was fantastic, "Catch the Rainbow" is also on the next level as well. "Man on the Silver Mountain", "Still I'm Sad, "16th Century Greensleeves", "Kill the King", "Long Live Rock n Roll" and "Do you Close Your Eyes" are so very good too. None of the songs disappoint.
Cheers for the reaction to this song. On Stage has been my favourite livish album since it first came out Heres for continued success for your channel..
The tape recorder on stage is'nt used for recording the show. It's actually connected between Ritchie's guitar and amps. It serves as both a boost of the guitar signal and a echo unit. In the 70s guitar amps didn't have the amount of gain or distortion like they have now so using a tape recorder unit to boozt the signal is really cool and smart way to accomplice more gain.
The tape deck did not tape the concert. The concert was recorded by a German TV station broadcast. The tape deck was used by Ritchie Blackmore. He would run his guitar through the tape deck and into the Marshall amps to gain a echo and distortion on his guitar. Back then they didn't have a lot of special effects for guitar sounds.
Son of a bitch. I didn't even know that happened until you said something. I typically line up the music with where I play it when editing and don't watch those portions.
Realistically and logically anyone would start with the original studio version by Deep Purple, then go to a live version by Deep Purple (preferably from "California Jam '74"), and THEN go to a Rainbow version... I guess that's the downside when letting yourself be steered by the whims of complete strangers. And by the way, the comparison between Blackmore and Srv is very unequal. They are so different as players. Srv was very traditional whilst Blackmore is more eclectic.
Brilliantly dissected! Ronnie does a fantastic job on this track but just lacks the vocal range to match the Purple one - but that's down to Purple having the luxury of two singers, with the real Bluesy voice of David Coverdale alongside "The Voice of Rock" Glenn Hughes who takes the ending climax to a ridiculous level (the Live In London version gives a great example). But Hughes also does his own versions later on and his singing on them is truly phenomenal! All different versions vocally but best left to the individual to decide their own ..... What the track does show though is Purple or Rainbow are a live band and always best to head for the live versions when you can. One of the tracks I would love for someone to react to properly would be "Catch The Rainbow" off of Rainbow's "On Stage" live album - no video for this version unfortunately but more than worthy of a listen! It's around 15:30 long, but the re-entry of the track just over half way through is worth the time on it's own! Good Luck down this never-ending rabbit-hole!
Who did it better? Deep Purple or Rainbow?

Rainbow by a long way.
Deep Purple CalJam version.
Even if young Coverdale cant compared to Dio, the power and energy of that gig was incredible.
Dio era Rainbow is some of the best rock n roll ever!

Man in the... does. The play it way too fast and it loses the magic of the studio version
Dio was one of a kind without a doubt
The tape recorder is for echo and delay for the guitar. Analog tape echo is a really amazing effect for guitar!
I believe the tape deck is a Revox.
That's really cool
@@WankerZoff It was an AIWA actually.
Cheers for the reaction to this song.

RITCHIE BLACKMORE , ABSOLUTE MONSTER ON GUITAR , LEGENDARY , FROM AUSTRALIA, PEACE FROM DOWN UNDER.

Oh wow, that's really creative

PURPLE saw both rainbow and purple do it live in the 70s
This is a song composed by Blackmore!
Correct. He wrote this while still with Deep Purple
Great reaction to a great song
Great song, great reaction. Sorry about your cat peeing in the background!

I don't think that your reaction is mistreated.
I think that's good?
