@@stluciestrength univesral constant of this earth is that there's always people in high places causing shit under the public's noses with massive consequences (conquest, poverty war etc), which is the theme of the song. right when you think the dust settles, new tech or political spaghetti surfaces and gives everyone a headache again. but it's always _new_, which leaves a lot of people in denial that it could be possible in the first place
These guys were freakin' awesome live! I'm so blessed to have seen a lot of excellent concerts in the 70's 80's & 90's OMG!!! :-) I love that guys voice! He sure could belt out some lyrics like Rob Halford back then!
Masterpiece, most mature Rainbow stuff, sounds similar to DP with other voice, like Blackmore always want, but Purple with Turner was completely different thing. Rainbow changed 3 singers but Blackmore was happy, energetic, improoved and with Glover toghether sound was pure Magic

Song is almost 40 years ago.... Problem is, it's more relevant now in these politically correct times than it was then.... Just an absolute masterpiece
My very first cassette tape I bought when I was 13.....love this but wanted something heavier.....so a while later got a hold of Black Sabbath 'paranoid' cassette....but still a fan of Rainbow....love this more than ever and still have my punk rock credentials.....this makes sense in this dystopian future were trapped in currently 2021.
Remember this one as a kid in the early MTV days. Man it was great watching these videos for the first time. Hell MTV made their own videos to fill time, just instrumental music and images . Wish i could find some of those....
It would be great if Ritchie Blackmore got back together with Joe Lynn Turner to release a new studio album. Joe's one of the best in business right now and he more than deserves a reunion. The time is right for an over the top reunion of this band.
I totally agree, but it "can't happen here,' ( sorry,,I just had to)...ritchie's having a great time with his bride candace knight playing traveling minstral doing renasiance fairs and Joe lynn is probably using his multi- instrumental abilities to his heart's content...
YES,, THE GLORY DAYS OF WHEN MTV WAS WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE REMAINED. MUSIC VIDEO 24-7. UNTIL ALL THE PHONY ASS REALITY SHOW CRAP FUCKED IT ALL UP!!!. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84 HERE.. CHEERS TO ALL GEN XER'S!!.
I bought many of their albums! NOTICE B-52 AT 02:09 LATER I worked on the B-52 in Andersen AFB, Guam! concert August 18, 1982 IN SAN ANTONIO. Saxon opened the show. I WAS THERE IN THE FRONT ROW WEARING WHITE SHIRT WITH BLACK SLEEVES
yes...but it's a virus bomb..probably our worst fucking nightmare...as a kid I saw " the omega man" with charlton heston (for those of you who have never seen it,it's about the world as the result of viral, bacterial warfare...sound familiar) and it scared the living shit out of me...at least nuclear war would evaporate everyone.....that seems(and I know I'm gonna get slagged for this one) a more humane way to go instead of waiting for some miserable,,hellish disease to get you and kill you slowly ..icbm's filled with plutonium don't seem so bad instead of some man made plague....
Song is still very relevant today... "People over here, people over there Everybody's looking for a little more air Crossing all the borders just to take their share"
I totally forgot about this amazing rainbow song....what a performance and message....totally explains what the world was like back then....while yes we all loved the '70s and '80's,,,it was by far not a perfect world and this shows the reasons it wasn't...granted...I'd take it all back in a new York second in lieu of this this hellhole existence,,gas shortages, air pollution and impending nuclear war don't seem so bad compared to all the nonsense going on in today's world of drug gangs shooting at everything in sight,,drive by's,,stray bullets,,crack addicts by the millions,,poisoned,,fentanyl cut dope killing addicts who don't know any better just as long as they fix,,people blowing up buildings...idiots with assualt rifles going into schools and stores and murdering people with impunity,,,covid 19....yeah,,today's world is indeed a cesspool but at least weve cleaned up the air,don't litter anymore,and can listen to great music on YT....God help us all
Just amazing how prophetic some of these songs have become. Same headlines, just a different decade or four.
The songs and many of the movies too
Ironically, many of the people who listened to this song back then, are the cause of the same problems today.
How is this song prophetic? I see different things from the 80’s ( Reagan, Ayatollah, 3 Mile Island,) but how does that tie into the current time ?

Rainbow rocks for ever.
One of the best SUPERGROUP ever...! Long Live Rock N' Roll...
This song is a classic.
Rainbow rocks.
This video was popular on mtv and loved it then and now....crank it up
Incredible talents, Rainbow will remain one of the greatest Rock bands in our time. Who would've imagined the lyrics were written 30 odd years.
Released 1981.
41 years ago now. 👍
Simplemente genial
Amazing how relevant this song is still.
Great times, loved Rainbow❤💫👑💋
I adore the trilogy STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES, DIFFICULT TO CURE, BENT OUT OF SHAPE..... MASTERPIECES
Doesn't compare to debut album, Rising, and Long live rock and roll
Blackmore, Turner, Glover, Airey, Rondinelli... This was a goldarn Supergroup!!
You got that right!
yes it was....I was lucky enough to see this line up and yes,,they did this song......it was a balls performance...
The lineup with Cozy Powell and Graham Bonnett wasn't too shabby either
I believe Don Airey was at the time in the band. He plays with Glover in a band nowadays (maaan, I forgot the name... however they do good stuff)
Blackmore's solo from 2.16-2.18 is WTF he figure to play,, how much genius that man was??
Still composing and playing in Blackmores Night listen to their latest album
What do you mean was🐐🎸
Underrated.
α=another glorious example of real rock. Rhythm & lyrics from another planet!!!
I love this song,it's different with other rock n roll songs.
This is cool Rainbow 🌈 video I remembered seeing it on MTV lol and a bunch of other Rainbow videos before they went trending music. 😄
These guys were freakin' awesome live! I'm so blessed to have seen a lot of excellent concerts in the 70's 80's & 90's OMG!!! :-) I love that guys voice! He sure could belt out some lyrics like Rob Halford back then!
Saw em with blue oyster cult....look dorthy it's a rainbow

I concur
Predictive songs and predictive movies.
The truth was put out there in advance for those with eyes that can see it
@@jackaction7077 Check out Primed by Ashes of Ares... only if you like it something heavier musically ofc.
@@jdub2104 me too
WTF is a "politically correct" time? The good news is, Republicans keep losing.
My very first cassette tape I bought when I was 13.....love this but wanted something heavier.....so a while later got a hold of Black Sabbath 'paranoid' cassette....but still a fan of Rainbow....love this more than ever and still have my punk rock credentials.....this makes sense in this dystopian future were trapped in currently 2021.
Nice music taste my friend
@@nozodiacsign thank you sir.
Fantastic solo from Ritchie as always!
A very noble song the sentiment is superb. Nice one lads.😮
Great to see Don Airy such a talented man.
you can still see him i DP!
This is an apt song to be listening to on today 9/10/2019 😢
Even more so today 6/9/2020
I thought it can happen here but it did.
This track is awesome in billions of ways and I have liked this song since it came out
Ouço Rainbow há 36 anos. Fantástica Banda. Grande fã do Brasil
Uma das bandas favoritas 😊
It was a shock and surprise to see this video on mtv compared to all the pop videos they would play back then...besides being really heavy
Remember this one as a kid in the early MTV days. Man it was great watching these videos for the first time. Hell MTV made their own videos to fill time, just instrumental music and images . Wish i could find some of those....
Graduation HS 1982. Keg party and Rainbow, straight between the eyes album,yea album!!!
Prophetic Tune...Sounds just like now
It would be great if Ritchie Blackmore got back together with Joe Lynn Turner to release a new studio album. Joe's one of the best in business right now and he more than deserves a reunion. The time is right for an over the top reunion of this band.

I’m surprised this lineup of rainbow didn’t get way more popular than they did, maybe too ahead of their time
Awesome band incredible musicians.

Joe Lynn Turner has a strong Paul Rodgers vibe going here.
Song is still very relevant today...
"People over here, people over there
Everybody's looking for a little more air
Crossing all the borders just to take their share"
k
relevant today definately
Republicans are the biggest leeches from the government there are.
Saw Rainbow in concert in Tulsa early 80s
All scenes from video spot reflect today. Lyrics too.
Y realmente el mundo es así... Julio Verne, Stanley Kubrik , el futuro en la música 🎵🎵❤️💙🖤

Blackmore is the man, Rainbow with Dio and Cozy it's their best Era, but this 👌
❤всегда любил музыку которая с душой и совет когда живёте опирайтесь на своё сердце с уважением Гаджи
This song is the state of the world during the 1980's in a nutshell.
👍
Note to self time 2 something am able to like video was showing 4,199 likes, now showing 4,200.
No Cozy....no Rainbow 🌈
Someone commented "prophetic" . The eyes of Nostradamus!
brilliant.
USA radio stations wouldn’t play this they played the b side jealous lover
This song literally predicted 2022 its the end times people
Move over Nostradamus rainbow could see 20 18 nearly 40 years ago!!!l. I dedicate this to the coming Apocalypse!
Классика!
This move like a freight train!
Ritchie is unbearably cool in this....0 - )
la primera vez que veo a Roger Glover hacer unos coros.....
Lo que uno se pierde no por ver los proyectos por separado de los grupos quedé en shock JAJA
2:30 Carnivore - Retaliation?
Loved this song back in the mid 80s. I feel sorry for anyone not there to see it before political correctness and wokery destroyed it 😞
gran battera
Ritchie Blackmore.
Nice shirt, by the way... ;)
Dear Rainbow, Please rerelease this song.
Never happens here...but...
It will happen here. Now we have to look for a new planet. We really stuffed the place
Rainbow sometimes sonds like Deep Purple
Gee, I wonder why? 🤔
I forget its Cozy on drums i thought it was paul stanley of kiss...nope jk
It's not Cozy. It's Bobby Rondinelli
JLT
失礼ながら、リッチーブラックモアの帽子姿が、カワイイと思ってしまっていました。苦笑。
Great song because it CAN happen here. Especially since we have a mental dolt in the White House.
The truth
