  • It has been far too long since I've had Ronnie James Dio on this channel, and a select few of you have been screaming for me to check this specific performance of "Mistreated" by Rainbow. However, just because I'm watching Dio's performance doesn't mean I won't check the David Coverdale original out, so stay tuned.
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Rainbow performing "Mistreated" for the first time.

    100% agree with you. It's corny but Dio saved my life. I was on the verge of suicide when my older brother came for a visit on a whim with a new record he just bought. I had already stolen my fathers revolver and had it in my room. My bro pops in, "hey man, new album by that guy you like sang with Rainbow. Check it out" and then "Stand Up and Shout" blasted over the speakers and we sat and listened to the whole thing. Me sitting in front of the stereo and him by the window smoking a joint. (Gen X kids, right?) and then at the end he left, leaving the record with me and then I put my father's gun where it belongs.
    I doubled down on my martial arts training, went on to win national and world tournaments. So... I say again, Ronnie James Dio saved my life. Now I'm (old)years old. Got grandkids, retired. I'm overall happy.

      @stefanconradsson 4 місяці тому +4

      It also must be said that this filmed/recorded performance captured them on a very good night. I was around back then, saw both purple and rainbow twice, and many other bands through that era. Touring was very different in the seventies and early eighties. Except for the bootleggers, there were no cameras or microphones in the audience. Bands often had bum nights on the road. It could be anything: sound wasn't great in the arena, or they were hung over, there were problems with transportation, food, drugs, fans, groupies, or a simple thing as staying in a bad hotel. Bands back in the seventies and early eighties usually travelled as light as they could.
      They didn't have the massive supporting crew that became the norm later, when they might (depending on budget) have their own cooks, trainers, doctors, and PR people along for the ride. Everything necessary to keep the talent functioning (Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac are two examples).
      In addition, a song like “Mistreated” or let's say Zeppelins “Since I've been Loving You” were wide open to emotional and improvisational input. It was expected to be that way. They took and accepted greater risks in live settings than bands do today. No one held up an iPhone in the front row back then. It must be said, though, that the current crop of “jam” bands accepts this challenge with gusto.
      Mistreated, the song, as presented here, was and is an example of every thing falling into place. Dio was at his very top. I'm guessing this is recorded somewhere in Europe. Richie in all his bands always seemed to perform at his best closer to home. Made in Japan is a stellar exception, though.
      Cheers 🍺

    • @stefanconradsson
      @stefanconradsson 4 місяці тому +4

      It should also be mentioned, for those that don't know, that Rainbow was not a democratically formed band. Richie departed from Deep Purple to cherry-pick the individuals of what was to become Rainbow. He picked Dio as the singer, but Dio was never allowed to be spokesperson or the representative of the band.
      It was genius of Richie to pick him as the singer, but it wasn't going to last because of the massive ego of Richie.
      Cheers 🍺

    The "Catch The Rainbow" version from this exact concert is soooo good. They just extend it to like 15 minutes. Best concert ever. Blackmore was apparently 2 hours late because he was held up in jail in Munich before this show, so they decided to really out-do themselves for the waiting fans. My dad saw them live in Norway on this tour, and the concert location couldn't power up the huge rainbow lights, so they had to give it everything musically to make up for it. He still talks about that concert to this day as being almost like a supernatural experience.

    Glad you spent time on Ritchie's solo. He has a very Neoclassical background, much of his love was classic musicians. He also ties in his love for medieval styling, which is why he has progressed in life with his band Blackmore's Night". Ritchie is one of the best at creating space and sound. His music has so much feel. When you watch him play a solo, much of the time he closes his eyes and let's the music flow from his fingers. Simply one of the greatest!

Halford maybe 4 & 1/2, more than anyone else. I put Dio and Halford on top just because they proved during their carrier to be able to use their voices and their range in a very differenti kind of music and being able to model timber to express emotions.

The Gibson gives the guitar a completely different vibe - very agressive. If Dio was adult regret in his rendition, David Coverdale is young man rage.

His Solo Northwinds is beautiful and the early bluesy Coverdale is second to none, checkout Blindman or ain't gonna cry no more today., Burn is awesome too.

    @mikeycapone2578 Місяць тому +2

    I love this! I was fortunate to have known Ronnie since 1989 and until his last tour with Heaven and Hell and not long before he died and had many conversations about music. First, his wonderful parents played the famous opera singer, Mario Lanza records a lot at home and Ronnie heard that and he believed that may have influenced or inspired him. Second, his first love as a child was to play baseball and one day his father said you are going to play music so he took young Ronnie to the music store and told Ronnie to pick out a horn and Ronnie picked a trumpet and was told to practice 4 hours a day, and I think 7 days a week. This developed his vocal breathing and power. Later, one of the bands he was playing in and the singer left so the guitarist first tried to sing and it didn't work and reluctantly, Ronnie tried and it immediately worked and he said it came easily. Third, Ronnie had a strong work ethic which carried his entire career. He kept a notebook of lyrics and ideas for songs. He was well prepared and also aware of his vocal health and prepared to improvise melodies when his voice was tired which he managed very well because he was often tired. He was tired because he would stay and sign an autograph for every last fan. Yet his voice was nearly always strong. I say nearly because that is what he told me and I know Ronnie was a perfectionist with the ability to adapt when necessary. I can tell you that I NEVER heard him strain his voice while singing both during rehearsals or live performances. Forth, everything you hear about Ronnie was true. He was a well spoken true gentleman from New York (and a NY street smart vibe), educated, and incredibly intelligent, generous. One time we were at a pub in Woodland Hills and a couple fans recognized him and he welcomed them, bought them a pint of beer and had a nice conversation with them. The first time I went to his incredible house he took me on a tour and we ended up at his bar and he asked me what I wanted. I asked him what he is having? He said a Sambuca and a beer. I said I'll have that too please. Then he lit up a big joint! He is also VERY Italian. I would not want to be on his bad side. He was tiny, but he was a fighter not afraid to take on anyone and ignoring his body guards. He also had a LOT of pride and could hold a grudge and was really upset when BS fired him, and then later when BS opened for OZZY at a show in (I think Irvine) and Ronnie refused to do the show so they got Rob Halford to sing. That really hurt Ronnie. Honestly a great guy. Grateful I got to meet and hang out with this man on many occasions.

    Ritchie's Rainbow sound was based on a few key components. His use of Renaissance scales, pre-CBS early 70s Fender Stratocasters with slight pickup and electronics modifications, his custom Jim Marshall designed 200 Watt amp heads, one or multiple Hornby-Skewes treble booster/s, a German Schulte Phase A stompbox, an AIWA TP-1010 tape recorder modded to create the delay we all hear and love, and - the most important input - his decades of dedicated practice and playing - makes this sound possible. It is his unique and immediately recognizable trademark, IMHO.... 🥰🎸

    Oh man, I've been waiting for you to check out this one! Might be Dio's best live performance that's out there (though there are some awesome late-career, Heaven & Hell clips, too).
    As a follow-up to this, the original version with David Coverdale in Deep Purple is absolutely worth seeing, too.

    Without a shadow of a doubt one of the most iconic vocal performances by the Legend RJD. My childhood hero , I was hoping you would cover this performance Elizabeth. This is one of the greatest by any band and Blackmore , Cozy and Daisley were epic. How a live band should sound, imagine being there back in the day. Thanks for this review.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again you have to analyse 'Rainbow Eyes ' by Rainbow. So different to anything you have heard Dio sing so far.❤ from the UK. Hope you and your family feel better soon.

    I can't describe the joy I get out of watching Elizabeth enjoy RJD every single time she hears him again. I've been a huge fan since I first heard him when I was 12 yo and I've spent the last 37 years sharing my love of Ronnie James with others. He deserves to be shared, appreciated and loved as much as possible and I hope he's looking down from heaven and seeing how many people he's touched and inspired. 🤘🤘

    Another song that I think that you would like that Dio sings is "Love is All" from Roger Glover's solo album The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast. There is a live video with Ronnie, Deep Purple and The London Symphony Orchestra that would fit on your Happy playlist

    Oh my god! Ronnie James Dio gets me everytime, he is just phenomenal, I patterned my singing after him. Really miss him, its even more special for me as he died on my birthday. What can you say about Richie Blackmore, just the best, no one has ever sounded like him or ever will.

  • @craigwarman88

    His annunciation is incredible too while doing all the variation he does. One of the few rockers that you don't have to refer to a lyric sheet to know what they sung.

  • @robrichardson7079

    Fantastic lineup of Rainbow here - you have Dio, you have Blackmore (the Dio of guitar), Cozy Powell (the Dio of drums) and Bob Daisley on bass, who later was instrumental in some of the best hard rock songs of the 1980s when with Ozzy.

    I saw Rainbow in 77 at Liverpool Empire - absolutely amazing and Dio was mind blowing with his vocals ! Incidentally they did two dates in Liverpool- I was at the first one and apparently on the second the place got trashed and they were banned from playing there again !

    Fun fact: The outfit that Dio wore here really caught my attention way backin 79. Fortunately for me, my Aunt Lorna was great with a sewing machine and she made me an exact copy . I really treasured it and i wore it the first time that i met Ronnie, who was really impressed with it.

    I cannot thank you enough for this reaction. I love music in general, and DIO is my favorite singer. This is for me, DIO’s greatest live performance, and that is saying something because he even sounds better live than in studio. I will put your reaction on a 24h loop. BTW I shared your goosebumps and the end of the song, and I have heard it hundreds of times. In the future, you can also explore DIO’s very early days from the late 50’s and 60’s. Look for Ronnie and the redcaps. He was for example the first that that sung an English version of the famous “the way of love” (yeah before Cher), or his cover of “Dream on” with Yngwie Malmsteen. Anyway, thanks again so much!!!

    Chewed through his words couldn't have been a better statement! Ronnie was a casual friend. An awesome man and talent with a heart to match his voice to us fans. It could be a couple or more years between tours, but when you talked with him in the hospitality suite, he always remembered your name and loved to talk sports. His warm up for his vocals was literally, a couple of beers and smoke a joint. Rock In Peace Ronnie and thank you for the friendship and all the years of music.🙏🏻
