I met him, and the band once, completely by accident at an airport. They were all very warm and friendly, especially RJD, who was delighted to chat, and kept giving me hugs! 😂
Don't like to be that dude but it is FREDDIE! NOT FEADDY ☺...anyhow i did it since i ike Queen but hey i like Dio to...why FREDDIE WAS THAT GOOD IS HIS IMPRESSIVE RANGE AND POWER in voice, he could sing anything from lady like soprano up to baritone and bass even covering amazing range + he had super clear voice. Simpy God was in great mood when FM was born so he sliced huge peace of talent and range for him ☺. When FM sings with full power dam it was impossible clear and pls don't forget he was and will be probably the only one who had guts to sing beside best opera singer of that time! Dio is great no doubt but you hear him only in that ''power ''mode baritone more toward bass mix. each is legend by his own right,.
Ronnie James Dio is the kind of frontman that all guitarists dream about having in their band....You feel like you could accomplish anything on stage. ☼LEGEND☼ RIP
@@larrysmith8926 There are many great rock singers, Blackmore had Dio, Coverdale, Bonnet, Turner and others in his bands, the list is long as for others too. Where to draw the line?
@@larrysmith8926 Kerry Livgren (not Kelly Livegreen), and Ronnie Dio arent even comparable. One's a guitarist, and the other a singer. Dio's discography is so much larger. How do you compare one guitarist in Kansas to Ronnie James Dio ...You really cant. There's no comparison on so many levels lol.
Doug Aldrich is not only a great guitarist, he is a super nice guy. Have seen him in Vegas twice now. He signs autographs and takes pictures with his fans. That was a testament to his long standing relationship with Ronnie James Dio. Ronnie was big on that. Performing for the fans and respecting the fans. JJ
A young Doug met Randy Rhoads back in 1981. He was blown away with how cool and friendly Randy was. A week later Doug has the chance to see Randy again (he was doing gigs with Dubrow while on a short break from Ozzy). Doug walks in and sees Randy. Randy says, "Hey Doug, what's up man?". I think Doug took that lesson from Randy. Humble, gracious and appreciative of what he has. Randy to a tee.
Одна из моих любимых песен , не только из Рейнбоу , а вообще . Мой друг первый раз поставил мне послушать её тысячу лет назад ... Где ты , Витька Михайлов , друг , которого я потерял навсегда . Союз распался и все пошло наперекосяк ... Эта наша с тобой песня , брат . Я никогда не забуду тебя .
One of my favourite Rainbow songs. I was there at this concert. So exciting to hear this live. What an amazing voice & person. What a terrible loss. Thankfully we all can listen to his great works & see videos like this.
Saw Dio on this tour, was absolutely stoked when they played this song. Love the song, and was NOT expecting it on the setlist. They opened the show with "Tarot Woman", another fave of mine and not a song they play that often. Good times.
6 years ago, I've seen the film the pick of destiny. Fell in love with the Dio part, then searched Dio in youtube. This song was the very first one I have listened. Rest in Peace great god. Wish you were with us. I'm still loving you after all this time, and I always will. Tremendous voice
Great version of this song. Guitar work by Doug is off the charts. One of my favorites, have the CD of the whole concert, it is superb. Play it at least weekly, VERY loud.
- Being in rock ‘n’ roll for so long, how did you escape the rock lifestyle and never got into any scandal? I was raised by great parents whose respect I never wanted to lose, and abusing myself was certainly not the way to keep their respect. - You never dabbled with drugs either. Was it due to you having a pharmacology degree? No. It was because I saw how destructive it was, and how it dulled your sensibilities and ate up your talent and your life.
@@jayrusnak Iommi said he had a penchant for eating junk food as well - in fact he seemed rather disinterested in feeding his face most of the time. Food was barely even fuel to him, it seemed. I heard that he was a lifelong insomniac as well. Take it from me - it aint good for you.
Hell yeah! Saw him years ago for the first time, King's X opened... One of my top three FAVORITE concerts.... King's X rocked, but DIO WAS DIO and fucking OWNED@!!!!
It's interesting reading those facts about guys we look up to, like Dio. Imperfections are part of what make us human, so knowing about those things help us connect better. The false image of perfection only creates a gap between us as humans and artists as idols. Dio was one of the most human guys outside of the stage from all I read about him.
Nice to hear a very clean-but-driving version of this great tune. The guitarist really honored Ritchie Blackmore's original solo, and the entire arrangement honored the original version overall. Most excellent!
Ronnie voice is so fucking powerfull... Gates Of Babylon = Epic song!!! The best vocalist ever in the planet. \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ R.J.D. = Legend...God...Little Giant..Angel & Devil...R.I.P. my friend i'll never forget you!!!
Amazing how his voice got better with age! Take a look back at his work when he was young and you can see he didn't hold notes as long as he did in the later years. Heaven and Hell reboot along with solo stuff during 2005 -2008 was just pure magic, long live the true king!
Wow! I am blown away. Huge Dio fan here. First listen: I thought, "fantastic, but wait. Can they pull off the guitar solo?" Silly thought. Not only did Doug Aldrich shine but he absolutely crushed it! What a great band. I hope some how some way they can carry on and on. Thank you for sharing your talents, gentlemen.
Feeling sorry for RJD, his voice sounded broken already here. Saw him in 78, and 81, 83 etc, when his voice was the power singing voice #1 in the world. Fortunately Doug brings the energy and youthfulness in this performance. RIP RJD my hero who turned me into (power) metal forever ... To add something extra to this comment, Doug really has the guts to assimilate one of the best guitar solos ever... Hats off mr Aldrich!!
Dino is/was about the best you could ever get on vocals for this genre. Doug Aldridge can play just about any genre of music and make it sound like it’s his favorite and it’s all he played. Great musicianship all around.
My first concert was Richie Blackmore's Rainbow in 1976. My buddies had been to concerts before so they knew to get there early so that we could race to the edge of the stage. When the curtain opened and the music started my mind was blown. I still regard it as the best concert I've ever seen. This is a great performance of Gates of Babylon. Everyone in the band is kicking ass. The guitar solo is very complex and Doug kills it. I agree with another's comment that he's a super nice guy. I made some custom guitar parts for him a number of years ago and he's an incredibly friendly person.
dio forever siempre fui muy fan de ozzy pero cuanto mas escucho a dio mas me gusta espectacular cada uno en su estilo sin desmerecer pero ya cada vez escucho mas a dio lo repito ESPECTACULAR en mayusculas
YAH...DIO - GATES AND BABYLON LAGU YANG SENDUH NAMUN PASTI....KHUSUS UNTUK TEMAN SAYA JEBOLAN LAWS OF JUSTICE CENTER UNSRAT MANADO...DI MANA TELAH SUKSES MENEMPATI...POSISI BARU...DI TUGAS DAN KERJANYA...TERUTAMA UNTUK JALUR PERDAGANGAN DAN PERINDUSTRIAN DI SULAWESI UTARA - INDONESIA...CUKUP SEKIAN DAN TERIMAKASIH...AMIN...??!!
I met him once back in the 90's... Very humble person and the greatest rock metal singer of all times.
I met him, and the band once, completely by accident at an airport. They were all very warm and friendly, especially RJD, who was delighted to chat, and kept giving me hugs! 😂
Где же вы его встретили?
RIP Dio..................The greatest singer and gentleman of metal ! Such class !
AGREED!!!
Le roi de Métal
@@hneemann Freddy was the best singer of Rock; and, Dio, the greatest of Metal (of course, it's my opinion)

As a child I heard of Dio but sadly it is today that I finally realized how great he was. What a powerful man. Wow
I haven't listened to Dio until I was 14 in 1992, and only in 1998 did I see him in person.
saw Rainbow mid '70 with Ronnie..... starting ! He just became better and better.. !!!!
Dio was One of the "Best" singer ever ,.. What a voice
NOT ONE OF!!! HE IS THE ONLY BEST ONE.
What a resume Ronnie had, Elf, Rainbow, Sabbath, Dio, Heaven & Hell - totally unbeatable right til the end - LEGEND.
You forgot Kelly Livegreen of Kansas.
@@larrysmith8926 He wasn't heavy rock or metal.
@@Thirdfish your list of band no mention was made that what Dio sang had to be metal.
@@larrysmith8926 There are many great rock singers, Blackmore had Dio, Coverdale, Bonnet, Turner and others in his bands, the list is long as for others too. Where to draw the line?

Most likely one of the kindest and most talented souls who brought very interesting stories with his music…and passion to the main stage. LEGENDARY!

John Janikas he, Aldridge was in whitesnake with a brother right????
Count Von D Rip Randy. Ozzt dies goodbye to romance for Rhoads
@@countvond233 Agree with this, :) I've met Doug several times and he always has time to sign things, answer questions or just generally chat.
@@Chinapaul Just as I assumed. Doug is a rare breed. I put him and Nita Strauss in the same class as "Randy torch-bearers".
the most down to earth guy in metal and an absolute gent...and probably the best vocalist in metal ever...WHAT A GREAT SONG

Возможно, судьба когда-нибудь найдет вас двоих. А пока мир. Любовь из Америки.
Да жизнь разбросала многих! Но жизнь и рок с нами!!!😊
I raised my daugther on DIO. And she still knows every song 20 years later
My dad did the same thing and I have been listening to Dio for 22 years
Same 😂 and I love him for it
Dio ❤
One of my favourite Rainbow songs. I was there at this concert. So exciting to hear this live. What an amazing voice & person. What a terrible loss. Thankfully we all can listen to his great works & see videos like this.
Crazy how he doesn't even need back-up vocals to sound so huge! Miss this legend!
Dio war wirklich ein sehr guter Sänger.Wir werden Dich niemals vergessen.R.I.P
Ja, Jon Lord sagte mal über Ihn, sein Herz war größer wie er selbst :-)
Saw Dio on this tour, was absolutely stoked when they played this song. Love the song, and was NOT expecting it on the setlist. They opened the show with "Tarot Woman", another fave of mine and not a song they play that often. Good times.
Even into his 60's he was still kicking ass!
Colin Pell tai
dio good voice try to read quran
Colin Pell his last concert he was still rocking🤘not sure if he was diagnosed yet? Still was the best vocalist in my time🤘long live rock n roll🤘🤘🤘
@@greenfibermandiri5365 you try to read the Bible, that Book did a lot better than your Book.
I'm thinking he was 63 in this one. Anybody know for sure??
Doug is the king of guitar....he belongs in the rock hall of fame.....This whole band rocks!!! RIP DIO....best rock singer ever!
Heavy Metal!*
@@tracyrae4854 rock/metal
Doug is a total MONSTER!!
Дио ты великий музыкант !!!! Покойся с миром , земля пухом !!! ЛЕГЕНДА!!!!
Дио единственный и лучший!)
Все началось с этого момента, теперь мне капец, слушаю рок, ну а ты всегда будешь первым...
И всегда слушаю и какого-то черта слезы бегут...
Dio was not rock n roll HE WAS METAL!!!
Dio was and still is great! I named my cat after Dio she responds to it. She’s a calico.
always!!!!
Ronnie James Dio was both...Rock & Roll and later went into more Black Sabbath style Metal...and theN DIO of course ...Metal that Rocks!
Ronnie didnt fit categories. He made them.
Ronnie was both rock 'n' roll and metal. He was Ronnie. Long live Ronnie James Dio!
6 years ago, I've seen the film the pick of destiny. Fell in love with the Dio part, then searched Dio in youtube. This song was the very first one I have listened. Rest in Peace great god. Wish you were with us. I'm still loving you after all this time, and I always will. Tremendous voice
His voice was incredible, especially made for Heavy Metal
He inspired an entire generation and gave us some incredible singers like Devin Townsend.
Great, great musician he was. Still is, his work will remain. He's missed.
Great version of this song. Guitar work by Doug is off the charts. One of my favorites, have the CD of the whole concert, it is superb. Play it at least weekly, VERY loud.
Дио просто лучший!!!Хевен анд Хелл просто лучший альбом на все времена, однозначно первый альбом в мире металла!!!

No. It was because I saw how destructive it was, and how it dulled your sensibilities and ate up your talent and your life.
Depends on what you mean by "drugs". Ronnie certainly liked his booze as much as the next guy and smoked plenty of weed. Harder stuff, no.

Only the scandal with Ozzy hah
Hell yeah! Saw him years ago for the first time, King's X opened... One of my top three FAVORITE concerts.... King's X rocked, but DIO WAS DIO and fucking OWNED@!!!!

This band is one of the greats. Boston Styx foreigner, Kansas, music memories we will take to the grave.
Simon Wright and Rudy Sarzo Are So tight Here! Love It.
This is the one for me! The best live performance of this song. I actually like the song better after seeing this recording. Brilliant performance!
Dio era demais falar dele é isso , foi um grande vocalista e voz podersa.
Keyboard player is looking so impressive from the first notes! I think every of them is so happy playing with Dio.
Siempre estás en nuestros corazones. long life DIO !!!!
Dio was the best of the rock and roll singers all over the world.
Ozzy is a good singer, but Dio was a master!
Ronnie Not Only Was The Greatest vocalist But The Greatest Lyricist. This Is So True Today. RIP Super Vocalist And Truth God!
Nice to hear a very clean-but-driving version of this great tune. The guitarist really honored Ritchie Blackmore's original solo, and the entire arrangement honored the original version overall. Most excellent!
Yes Doug Aldridge did great because he's an exceptionally good guitar player.
@@markgowans agree. even whitesnake hired him as well
Saw these at wulfren 2002...Saxon support...awesome
Hats off to Mr. Dio and Mr Aldrich and the band for a fabulous display of metal.
@TJ100 I take it you've never listened to RJD before? He does stuff like that on a regular basis!!

Carry on rocking in heaven!
Tive a honra de ver a performance do Dio ao vivo. Infelizmente a genialidade morre e não se renova.
Eu também, maior cantor de todos os tempos!!!!!!!!
Eu tb, com o Black Sabbath em 92 e depois solo, dois grandes shows em Porto Alegre, Dio eterno!
Eu também na cara dele.....foi inesquecível......Palace - SP acho que em 1986......

Fantastic solo by Doug Aldrich originally by Blackmore. Great song!
Ronnie Jame Dio Always Loved, Never Forgotten, Forever Miissed
The guitarsolo on this song to me is one of the best Blackmore ever has done. Hats off to Doug Aldrich who really is nailing it here!!
are you talking about munich 77? my favorite is the solo in catch the rainbow on that concert :)
WHAT A VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dam right 😉👍
The Voice!
Don't forget he wrote most of the lyrics also.

Настоящие рокеры поют и играют до последнего вздоха память на века всем ушедшим рокерам и рок н рольщикам рокершам
The guitar solo chord progression in the middle of this song is totally insane.....really just can’t get over it......superb..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I believe Blackmore and keyboardist David Stone worked on the progression.
O melhor de todos , é Dio .
SIN PALABRAS,primera vez que escucho esta rola, gran voz de DIO desde el cielo, el bass esta excelente en toda la canción, la paso a mi repertorio.
The Best Shortest Metal Singer With The Biggest Voice. R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio
