The fabled reel to reel tape recorder. Ritchie used it as a pre-amp and echo device, along with a treble booster pedal. I saw them a couple of months after this night and I'll never forget it. Perfection.
Ritchie Blackmore guitar Ronnie James Dio vocals Bob Daisley bass David Stone keyboards Cozy Powell drums, he can be considered in the top 5 drummers in rock history, he worked with Jeff Beck, Keith Emerson, among other rock stars.
An 11 minute song. No autotune, no pitch correction, no mash up copying of other people's songs. No bullshit. A Purple classic done justice by one of the best rock bands ever. UA-cam would do well to archive songs like this for posterity. And thank you for a great and honest analysis of the song from someone not accustomed nor necessarily inclined to such music. Really well done. Goosebumps says it all really doesn't it?
This was a super group at this stage, masters at their craft. The 1977 Munich concert was magical. All the songs were beyond exceptional. The song "Catch the Rainbow" is equally is good as this song. "16th Century Greensleeves", "Still I'm Sad", "Long Live Rock n Roll", Kill the King", "Man on the Silver Mountain", and "Do you Close Your Eyes" all great songs from this concert. I would have paid anything to be at this concert. Ritchie, Dio, Cozy, Stone, and Daisley couldn't have been any better. This is why Rainbow is one of my favorite groups.
My dad just messaged my on Viber saying this is what he used to play on the speakers to everyone when he was in the military. He was surprised when he saw my reaction but liked what I said haha. He said that it's a good thing for me I didn't say anything bad about them 😁 but there really isn't anything bad to sad
I saw them on this tour (aged 14, so fortunate). Ritchie was my hero from DP, and it was the greatest evening of my life. RJD's scream after the guitar solo makes my eyes water every time - greatest moment ever in rock? Mistreated live is the GOAT, and I still play the track full volume at 59 years old. Rock on...
I find it quite impressive that a young vocal coach actually not only gets it, but appreciates the extreme talent from such an amazing singer such as Dio and the instrumentals also involved, and also enjoys this incredible kind of talent which is almost non existent these days. Thank you for your open minded views on analyzing this great music I grew up on.
Rainbow was a vehicle for Ritchie to play with multiple people who he had interest in, thats why the lineup changed so often. Make no mistake Rainbow was Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow
Cozy is one of the most underrated drummers. He was a hired gun. Jeff Beck, Rainbow, Black Sabbath. Emerson Lake, and Powel, etc. Also Richie never used his middle pickup. He had it disconnected. He had a signature guitar with no middle pickup. It didn't sell good because it didn't look right. They (Fender) later made another signature guitar with a middle pickup that was disconnected, but looked like a regular strat.
Great reaction H. Wonderful & interesting comments about the greatest rock singer of all time. For future reactions vids, I suggest Children of the Sea or Sign of the Southern Cross, studio version from his Black Sabbath period. The Last In Line or Don’t Talk To Strangers from his solo career are fantastic too.
@@HofTheStage Children of the Sea is an absolute must from his Sabbath Days. Even for his opening note going from the clean introduction into the main riff.
The version of The Last In Line that seems to be the best is the live at The Spectrum in 1984. As for Don't Talk To Strangers, his best performance of it is live in Holland in 1983.
@@HofTheStage Your Welcome. I have been a big fan of Dios since he was a member of his first band Elf. Quick note about the band Elf. There was an accident that claimed the life of original member Nick Pantas who was the guitarist and injured keyboardist Doug Thaler. While recovering from his injuries Thaler moved to guitarist to replace the loss of Pantas and Mickey Soule later on a founding member of Rainbow with Dio moved in to become the keyboardist. This was in February of 1968 just a few years before their first album Elf which was produced by Deep Purple. Well of course the rest is history after 3 albums with Elf we know what happened to Dio. Me I am just a big ole nerd when it comes to music and well Dio.Rock on everyone.
Bob Daisley the Bass player here would join Ozzy after this . And went on to write most all the lyrics for Ozzy's 2 solo albums , Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of Madman . This Rainbow lineup here ... was full of major talents !
@@rayray-xs6xu I have seen the CDs of the early years of Ronnie and the Prophets don't have them. I just have the Elf CDs. Must get those 2 CDs into my collection.
Ronnie wasxalso an accomplished trumpet player and was not a classically trained singer. He said that trumpet essentially trained him on breathing and how to use his diaphragm for singing. Hell of a nice guy, too. I met him 3 times. Super gentleman.
Watch Kill The King from the same concert. They are absolutely killing it right out of the blocks. Like a well oiled machine. It's a short song but the singing and playing is incredible
Autotune was invented in 1996, I believe, so yeah, this was way before it. The whole concert is great. You should check it out. Catch the Rainbow is another great piece, so are Kill the King and 16th Century Greensleeves.
Autotune was invented actually much earlier for oil drilling purposes. For music purposes it was published 1997. First widely known song in which it was used - for artistic purpose rather than to correct vocal flaws - was Cher's hit Believe.
Autotune your talking Antares unit wasn't so much autotune but a robot voice think that Cher hit had one sent it back $400. 4 a lesser price it would be a fair preamp a real atune is t.c.Helli con $250. Almost sent this one back to but put it on tape and it really works no preamp abilities al scr. Pa.
I’ve been listening to Live in Munich for over 40 years, and it never disappoints - love it! Would certainly enjoy more reactions to any track from this concert
Very interesting analysis! And - You're spot on! They are so in tune and on time, it's almost unreal! Listen close, how Cozy and Ritchie are lifting up each other, in turns. You hear the guitar in the drumming, and the drums in the guitar. It's pure magic! Must be the most perfect band set ever! 🤘🤩
Mate, you know music. You explain it so well too. I love your reactions ❤️ Will be checking out more and yeah great band, and he is literally the best rock singer for me.
In my opinion, "ON STAGE* Is best álbum. And Ronie's vocala on "Catch the Rainbow" is a real Master peace, as the entire album, one of the best ever, in all bands.
I'm sorry for Coverdale but Dio made this song his own after this perfomance. It's like Hendrix and Dylan. You may be good but when a god takes your song that's his song now.
6:15 Interesting catch on his vowel/vibrato/rasp control. But, he'll change it. Sometimes he'll push a rasp on an "e", and sometimes he won't. That was one of the things Dio did....great growl control, as well as vibrato control.
This song was written for (by?) David Coverdale in Deep Purple. And as good as Coverdale may be, DIO did a Joe Cocker with this song; he made it his own, made it as if it was "his." This particular concert song is really excellent.
Dio starts singing.... took you 5 seconds to start smiling and that wasn't even the best part! DIO = GOD! This is the best masterclass for any singer to watch! This is a MUST watch before you die :) There's also another great great song that shows all the power that Dio has.... watch and react to "Kill the King", from this same event.
I don’t think he was a choir boy but he started playing trumpet. Then he was in a very kitschy 50s pop rock quartet called Ronnie and the Redcaps. Check out a recent Dio documentary called Dreamers Never Die
You are the only one Who appreciates How Fucking good this performance is I literally listen to it every day All of the 1977 live Munich catch rainbow silver mountain!! Do those too
Feels really good inside when I see people experiencing Dio like I did so long ago. Loved Dio growing up and still do. Like you said you could listen to anything with him singing it and he brings so much more than just great sound he brings emotion and feeling. The bands today I just feel like they are just literally making a bunch of noise to make money. They all sound the same. Like they are all being handed the same script of the sounds for the month. I have only been forced recently to listening to the radio and it drives me nuts....soon to be listening to my 70s,80s metal again.
This is a Deep Purple song written by Ritchie Blackmore and David Coverdale as I'm sure everyone already knows. I think like both Singers a lot. David is more bluesy and Ronnie gives it an operatic aesthetic. Blackmore's solo here isn't one of his better ones. He had spent two nights in a Vienna jail and went straight to the show in Munich after getting released. But his contribution to the evolution to Rock guitar can't be overstated.
Ritchie, even when being in jail, comes out as a God! The combination of Dio and Blackmore is one of the most beautiful combinations in musical history.
this i disagree with, I don't think Dio ever had a peak, he just kept getting better and better even when he was with heaven and hell shortly before he passed he was still amazing and powerful but even more refined
For me personally, it's like listening to a story, which might not be the greatest story I've ever heard or read, but the way it is told is just amazing. For me, it is an example that what is important the most is not ""what", but ""how". another thing that I'd like to mention is my personal theory that this particular song is a response of Ritchie to a Led Zeppelin song "Since I've Been Loving You". I'm convinced that deep down he wanted to write a bluesy song like that with some more punch in it and that is what Mistreated is. It is like: you did great, can I do better? because the theme is basically the same. Musical setup - minor blues. And at the end, it is not about who is better, but they push each other to be great. And R. J. Dio ? is untouchable among the rock singers.
How many hard rock guitarists would do a solo like this. Tasteful. clean sound. Not so many damn notes. Richie was a master as well.One of the great super groups of all time.
DIO was and is still one of my favorite vocalists of all time. Too many songs of his to react to, so hard to think of one or two. If you haven't already, try some songs from the Scorpions too. Klaus is an amazing vocalist as well.
If interested, one of Dio's last concerts was in 2009 with the group Heaven & Hell. This group is actually Black Sabbath under a different name. The 2009 Wacken concert had some great performances with the band member in their 60's. Dio's voice is still powerful. Songs like "I" and "Bible Black" are impressive for a bunch of old men. Dio passed away the following year.
I love Dio's take on this song! Truly, he just nails it! But, I would be remiss if I didn't mentioned that the original singer of this song also gave a legendary performance. Originally, this song was performed by Deep Purple, with David Coverdale on vocals and, of course, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar.
New sub, just found your channel and love it! If you really want to go down the Dio rabbit hole check out the stuff that he did with Black Sabbath (anything from Heaven and Hell or Mob Rules albums). Thank you for appreciating talent from a fantastic age of music!
He grew up in a house where Mario Lanza was played a lot. I love watching Ronnie James Dio he really tells the story and yes I feel the operatic element. But he can sing well in many different styles. Love him ❤️
Esse Db5 é um exemplo clássico de uma nota beltada em voz de peito, é quase impraticável você ouvir algum cantor na história que conseguiu sustentar uma nota dentro desse 1 registro com essa facilidade, e tem pessoas que duvidam que cantores masculinos de alguma forma poderiam cantar acima da quarta superior dentro de uma voz de peito, pode ser pra grande maioria dos cantores mas pra Ronnie talvez seja a exceção, 15:24 você nota claramente que a textura da ressonância harmônica dele não sofre alteração e a vogal está totalmente aberta e isso indica que ele provavelmente está beltando no peito( sabemos que manter uma vogal plenamente aberta em voz mista acima do passagio é praticamente impossível e principalmente quando se avalia o músculo central que opera dentro do fonador); É realmente incrível, esse Dio deve ter muita força motora e um domínio muscular absurdamente alto.
Ritchie used the Tape Machine to get more Gain out of the Guitar. Ritchie changed the Keyboardist. Bass Player and Drummer for Rainbow's Second Album. Rainbow Rising. This is the second lineup. There is not a Video but Rainbow's Cologne 76 Concert is absolutely amazing. This Concert I believe didn't start to way after Midnight. Ritchie has just got out of jail and he had to be driven about 3 hours to get to Munich for this show. Ritchie had kicked a man and broke his jaw. The man was hitting a 13 year old girl trying to get close and see the greatest guitarist in History.
He literally sang a song about a sandwich and it’s great. Evil on Queen Street from the Lock up the Wolves album was inspired by a deli sandwich of the same name that he ate while on Queen Street in Toronto. I also live one minute away from this street oddly enough LOL
Rainbow was absolutely at their peak during the RISING album!! Ronnie was the Godfather of Voice for hard rock and Heavy Metal! Please check out his time with Black Sabbath following this. Mob Rules is some of his finiest work!
Thank you for this great reaction and Analysis! I strongly recommend another one masterpiece of classic Rock period. Child in Time of Deep Puple (1970)
should definitely check out Dio's later work with black Sabbath and heaven and hell, as well as his solo work, the song Bible Black with heaven and hell was recorded shortly before he died and even then he still had amazing energy and was just as good as he ever was
As a fan of RJD, you should check out a young band, Liliac. RJD was a huge influence of the singer, Melody Cristea. At 17 years old, she's belting out covers of Dio. Even Vinnie Appice nicknamed her MeloDio and invite her to sing with his band Sabbath Nights. Her voice is incredible, so worth a listen!
as I remember it, his song training comes from learning play the trumpet from early years. According to him, he learn to breath, and sing from the abdomen. According to some sources (him) he never cancelled a show, and never warmed up. Just out and sung.
I have some suggestions for you with THE best metal voice,RJ Dio... #1 Mob Rules album with Black Sabbath,The Sign of the Southern Cross or Falling off the Edge of the World... #2 The Last in Line album,the title track, #3 Strange Highways,the title track, album in his solo career! #4 The Devil you Know with Heaven & Hell (Sabbath),the song Bible Black! ❤👌🏼🤘🏻
I love the original version by Coverdale which was more bluesy. This version is operatic and different but Dio has absolutely captured the essence of the song. I like both versions equally TBH. In a bizarre way, it's similar to the way he replaced Ozzy Osbourne in black Sabbath who definitely had a blues voice and Dio simply set his own mark on both albums he released without trying to copy Ozzy in any way.
This is what music is all about! Everybody brought exactly what was necessary for the song... This was a music MASTERCLASS!

True. Also the first and last year I saw a show of Rainbow. I still prefer the concerts of 1976 though because Stargazer was included.
Catch the Rainbow version is incredible.
The whole On Stage 2LP is Master class. So underrated.

RONNIE JAMES DIO THE GREATEST SINGER IN HISTORY
I saw Elf with Dio open for Deep Purple in ‘74. Pretty stunning. Looks like Ritchie left DP to join Elf after seeing Dio’s performances.
Rainbow was a vehicle for Ritchie to play with multiple people who he had interest in, thats why the lineup changed so often. Make no mistake Rainbow was Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow
@@timdaudelin8386 That what I meant to say.
Heh yes this is a gem. And wonderfull Cozy Powell is hitting the drums here 🖤
Yeah and match grip!
The best Rainbow Ritchie ever had.
Cozy is one of the most underrated drummers.
He was a hired gun. Jeff Beck, Rainbow, Black Sabbath. Emerson Lake, and Powel, etc.
Also Richie never used his middle pickup. He had it disconnected. He had a signature guitar with no middle pickup. It didn't sell good because it didn't look right. They (Fender) later made another signature guitar with a middle pickup that was disconnected, but looked like a regular strat.
@@Roadking26 underrated is the most overrated word 😉
Everybody who knows the slightest about music know who Cozy was.

Rainbow in clip; Ritchie Blackmore guitar
Ronnie James Dio vocal
Cozy Powell drums

David Stone keybords
I think it was Jimmy Bain on bass for this tour?
Ritchie f…king Blackmore..one of the most influential rock guitarist..
God loves you. Repent of your sins and turn to God. Believe in his Son Jesus and you'll be saved. (Hell is REAL. UA-cam: 30 Days Touring HELL)
The goosebumps at the end say it all. One of the greatest moment in rock history imho.
That initial reaction to Dio in the first few seconds of your video is the same 'OMG' moment we have ALL had!
If you were to say Dio was the best rock singer ever, i don't think you would get an argument from his peers.
The golden voice of rock n roll. May he be resting in everlasting peace.
Great reaction H. Wonderful & interesting comments about the greatest rock singer of all time. For future reactions vids, I suggest Children of the Sea or Sign of the Southern Cross, studio version from his Black Sabbath period. The Last In Line or Don’t Talk To Strangers from his solo career are fantastic too.
I hope I'll get to them all, it really depends on what people wanna see most :)

Ronnie the instrument that made this band gel, he was the extra instrument that all bands would love to have had.
Thank you for your good analysis. It still blows me away to hear rainbow live on stage at age 60!
12 secounds in...and It it is DIO. The greatest smalest vocalist in HM history!!! :)

Watch Kill The King from the same concert. They are absolutely killing it right out of the blocks. Like a well oiled machine. It's a short song but the singing and playing is incredible
It was simply a great moment and I was allowed to be there in Munich back then, for me Ritchie is one of the best!

@@kurtsherrick2066 I totally agree on that one!
Great reaction!!!! This was a true masterclass from Dio! 🤟🤟
Masterpiece! Great band and Dio's best vocal performance. RIP RJD!
I'm with you, mate. Love Rainbow, and at the end of Ritchie's solo there, when the band comes back in and Dio joins, almost brings a tear to my eye.
HUGE reaction, man! HUGE performance! Thank you, it's rare stuff nowadays
The best song that barely anyone is reaction to.. Good job man
Ken Tamplin says this is the greatest vocal performance he has ever seen. His stock just went up a point.
Mate, you know music. You explain it so well too. I love your reactions ❤️ Will be checking out more and yeah great band, and he is literally the best rock singer for me.
In my opinion, "ON STAGE* Is best álbum. And Ronie's vocala on "Catch the Rainbow" is a real Master peace, as the entire album, one of the best ever, in all bands.
There are about 40 live concert recordings on the internet from this line up.....
Add the guitar on the tune is why God invented the Strat ……
my friend from live in Munich listen catch the rainbow its a 19 minute song but its one of the best songs ever.it will blown you away
This is my first time hearing this song. Really impressive. Very bluesy, amazing vocals and instrumental. I love it.
The best line up they ever had.
I'm sorry for Coverdale but Dio made this song his own after this perfomance. It's like Hendrix and Dylan. You may be good but when a god takes your song that's his song now.
The word you were looking for while defining this performance is MAGIC brother...
The old reel to reel tape recorder is used by Blackmore for echo effect ….he has his own sound and vision, amazing guitarist and composer
He used it as a pre amp for his gitar amp
On the drums is one of the all time best drummers Cozy Powell.
Ritchie used the AIWA TP-1011 tape recorder as a pre amp & for some delay. If the player was on and he adjusted it, then he was adjusting the speed.
6:15 Interesting catch on his vowel/vibrato/rasp control. But, he'll change it. Sometimes he'll push a rasp on an "e", and sometimes he won't. That was one of the things Dio did....great growl control, as well as vibrato control.
The tape machine was for echo/delay. Now there are stomp pedals which try to emulate that old school tape echo
Wonderful, looking forward to more of this , thank you for the reaction ❤️
This song was written for (by?) David Coverdale in Deep Purple. And as good as Coverdale may be, DIO did a Joe Cocker with this song; he made it his own, made it as if it was "his." This particular concert song is really excellent.
it is about breatring. Dio is the best Breather in Metal world. He had the best growl natural technique...
Dio starts singing.... took you 5 seconds to start smiling and that wasn't even the best part! DIO = GOD!
This is the best masterclass for any singer to watch! This is a MUST watch before you die :)
There's also another great great song that shows all the power that Dio has.... watch and react to "Kill the King", from this same event.
Excellent reaction and explanation. I very much enjoyed this and couldn't agree more with your opinions!
Thanks Jeff, consider sharing the video around, it helps the channel out so much! And of course, subscribe if you haven't already
I don’t think he was a choir boy but he started playing trumpet. Then he was in a very kitschy 50s pop rock quartet called Ronnie and the Redcaps. Check out a recent Dio documentary called Dreamers Never Die
You are the only one Who appreciates How Fucking good this performance is I literally listen to it every day All of the 1977 live Munich catch rainbow silver mountain!! Do those too
Great Reaction!
I heard this song in David Coverdale's rendition, when I was very young, and I have been loving it ever since.
The tape deck is a Revox. If you set it to monitor the input (4 head system) and put mikes on the output you'll get a very clean fading echo.
Feels really good inside when I see people experiencing Dio like I did so long ago. Loved Dio growing up and still do. Like you said you could listen to anything with him singing it and he brings so much more than just great sound he brings emotion and feeling. The bands today I just feel like they are just literally making a bunch of noise to make money. They all sound the same. Like they are all being handed the same script of the sounds for the month.

Dio at his absolute peak.
this i disagree with, I don't think Dio ever had a peak, he just kept getting better and better even when he was with heaven and hell shortly before he passed he was still amazing and powerful but even more refined
@@collinnicholasns He was amazing all his life, true, but those 70s vocals are his absolute best imo.
It's never too late to discover RJD era Rainbow. Voice, drums and guitar may have equals, but no one was better.
The tape machine on Ritchie's amp is actually an early echo/delay effect machine that uses tape to achieve the effect.
Thank you for this video, I haven't heard this in years some of the greatest music ever.
Dio vocals made me me smile for a day
For me personally, it's like listening to a story, which might not be the greatest story I've ever heard or read, but the way it is told is just amazing. For me, it is an example that what is important the most is not ""what", but ""how".

It is like: you did great, can I do better? because the theme is basically the same. Musical setup - minor blues. And at the end, it is not about who is better, but they push each other to be great. And R. J. Dio ? is untouchable among the rock singers.
Cozy Powell on drums, Bob Daisley on bass and Dave Stone on keys
Richie used the tape for his Echo. He still does. Like you said we have boxes that emulate the tape echo, but Richie still loves his tape echo.
How many hard rock guitarists would do a solo like this. Tasteful. clean sound. Not so many damn notes. Richie was a master as well.One of the great super groups of all time.
DIO was and is still one of my favorite vocalists of all time. Too many songs of his to react to, so hard to think of one or two.
If you haven't already, try some songs from the Scorpions too. Klaus is an amazing vocalist as well.
Sitting in a dream. With full orchestra. Flip side of butterfly ball. Beautiful..
welcome to the Master and Ruler of them all Ronnie James Dio was lucky enough to meet both him n Lemmy like 11 times over 30 years
If interested, one of Dio's last concerts was in 2009 with the group Heaven & Hell. This group is actually Black Sabbath under a different name. The 2009 Wacken concert had some great performances with the band member in their 60's. Dio's voice is still powerful. Songs like "I" and "Bible Black" are impressive for a bunch of old men. Dio passed away the following year.
Dio, Richie and Cozy were excellent on live in Fukuoka....it was the longest Stargazer ever I believe...
Live in the huge big Olympic Arena in Munich 15.000 people
I love Dio's take on this song! Truly, he just nails it! But, I would be remiss if I didn't mentioned that the original singer of this song also gave a legendary performance. Originally, this song was performed by Deep Purple, with David Coverdale on vocals and, of course, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar.
An equal version to this is David Coverdale performing this song with Whitesnake in 1980 at the Reading Festival. Absolutely sublime.
@@neilhunter8262 Yes! Yes! Yes!!
I was there for that performance! Ian Gillan was there with his band as well. Also saw the Scorpions later on, amongst others.
@@jamesd3115 I saw Deep Purple with Dio and the Scorpions at the Greek Theater back in 2002. An amazing show!!
Dio blows Coverdale on this song. And I love Coverdale.
New sub, just found your channel and love it! If you really want to go down the Dio rabbit hole check out the stuff that he did with Black Sabbath (anything from Heaven and Hell or Mob Rules albums). Thank you for appreciating talent from a fantastic age of music!
Have this, and Rainbow-On Stage. Young Dio killing it.
R.I.P Master - and thank you!!
Thanks for a fine reaction, sir!
There was also a unit called an Ecoplex in which it used a tape to speed up or slow down the repeat
One another great song from Rainbow is the live version of "Still I'm sad" great vocals from Dio too. It from the On Stage album from 1977 👍🤘😁
There are about 40 live concerts from this line up on Yt.....search them out....Fukuoka is my current favourite...Stargazer is to die for!!
Reactions are great to learn different perspectives. Keep it up.
He grew up in a house where Mario Lanza was played a lot. I love watching Ronnie James Dio he really tells the story and yes I feel the operatic element. But he can sing well in many different styles. Love him ❤️
Oohhh Ronnie is THE VOICE of heavy metal , He is the great
Ronny James Dio foi um dos melhores cantores que o mundo já teve o prazer de ter visto uma lenda realmente do metal mestre de muitos
Esse Db5 é um exemplo clássico de uma nota beltada em voz de peito, é quase impraticável você ouvir algum cantor na história que conseguiu sustentar uma nota dentro desse 1 registro com essa facilidade, e tem pessoas que duvidam que cantores masculinos de alguma forma poderiam cantar acima da quarta superior dentro de uma voz de peito, pode ser pra grande maioria dos cantores mas pra Ronnie talvez seja a exceção, 15:24 você nota claramente que a textura da ressonância harmônica dele não sofre alteração e a vogal está totalmente aberta e isso indica que ele provavelmente está beltando no peito( sabemos que manter uma vogal plenamente aberta em voz mista acima do passagio é praticamente impossível e principalmente quando se avalia o músculo central que opera dentro do fonador); É realmente incrível, esse Dio deve ter muita força motora e um domínio muscular absurdamente alto.
Ritchie used the Tape Machine to get more Gain out of the Guitar. Ritchie changed the Keyboardist. Bass Player and Drummer for Rainbow's Second Album. Rainbow Rising. This is the second lineup. There is not a Video but Rainbow's Cologne 76 Concert is absolutely amazing. This Concert I believe didn't start to way after Midnight. Ritchie has just got out of jail and he had to be driven about 3 hours to get to Munich for this show. Ritchie had kicked a man and broke his jaw. The man was hitting a 13 year old girl trying to get close and see the greatest guitarist in History.
One of the top line ups in rock History. Mr. Blackmore probably was the best Talent Scout ever.
you realy feel rock in this song man, congratulations great reaction
He literally sang a song about a sandwich and it’s great. Evil on Queen Street from the Lock up the Wolves album was inspired by a deli sandwich of the same name that he ate while on Queen Street in Toronto. I also live one minute away from this street oddly enough LOL
You just put into words what I have never been able to do since I first heard this in 1987! Thank you 😊! Great reaction!
DIO FOREVER!! 🤘🏻🔥❤️
Another vocal critique/coach mentioned he use to play the trumpet and that would help him with his singing.
great choice, def one of the best from him
Amazing in every way! The whole band is amazing, but Dio is just out of this world
Rainbow was absolutely at their peak during the RISING album!! Ronnie was the Godfather of Voice for hard rock and Heavy Metal! Please check out his time with Black Sabbath following this. Mob Rules is some of his finiest work!
Heaven and hell live!!
Thank you for this great reaction and Analysis! I strongly recommend another one masterpiece of classic Rock period. Child in Time of Deep Puple (1970)
should definitely check out Dio's later work with black Sabbath and heaven and hell, as well as his solo work, the song Bible Black with heaven and hell was recorded shortly before he died and even then he still had amazing energy and was just as good as he ever was
2009 Wacken concert footage is a good one to check out for the "Bible Black" song.
Rainbow were best hard rock band easily.
As a fan of RJD, you should check out a young band, Liliac. RJD was a huge influence of the singer, Melody Cristea. At 17 years old, she's belting out covers of Dio. Even Vinnie Appice nicknamed her MeloDio and invite her to sing with his band Sabbath Nights. Her voice is incredible, so worth a listen!
The best reaction in the internet right now: 15:32.
Incredible performance. Rainbow at the top of their game. Blackmore used the tape machine for delay effects.
as I remember it, his song training comes from learning play the trumpet from early years. According to him, he learn to breath, and sing from the abdomen. According to some sources (him) he never cancelled a show, and never warmed up. Just out and sung.
The tapemachine was often use to get a really nice "echosound".
I have some suggestions for you with THE best metal voice,RJ Dio...
#1 Mob Rules album with Black Sabbath,The Sign of the Southern Cross or Falling off the Edge of the World...
#2 The Last in Line album,the title track,
#3 Strange Highways,the title track, album in his solo career!
#4 The Devil you Know with Heaven & Hell (Sabbath),the song Bible Black!
❤👌🏼🤘🏻
heaven and hell, title track
I personally think Ronnie James Dio sings this better than Coverdale. Dio's voice is so powerful.
Dio is the Greatest vocalist of all time but David Coverdale and Richard Blackmore wrote this song and performed it it is amazing... Just Saying 😎
I love the original version by Coverdale which was more bluesy. This version is operatic and different but Dio has absolutely captured the essence of the song. I like both versions equally TBH. In a bizarre way, it's similar to the way he replaced Ozzy Osbourne in black Sabbath who definitely had a blues voice and Dio simply set his own mark on both albums he released without trying to copy Ozzy in any way.
@@z1az285 I feel the same but Dio did a nice job... Take care
