- Ronnie James Dio performing "Rainbow In The Dark" on a US late night television show, "The Rock Palace." I believe this was recorded very shortly after the release of the "Holy Diver" album.

When men could really sing, without autotune.
hell yea! and could actually play their own instruments too..
Ronnie James, best metal voice ever imo. RIP
Probably the best metal vocalist of all time. RIP DIO...
Jason Cook Respectfully disagree. Dio is second to none in Heavy Metal.
You are very pretty
Zapiphire 1v1r yes you can . I am her father , you have my blessing.
Zapiphire 1v1r Tara Strong I love how he has an upvote.
Tara Strong Totally agree, next would be Rob H from Priest...
Vivian Campbell is an absolute monster guitar player. One of the best to ever do it.
I agree
He sure was. it's to bad that he and ronny had a falling out. Def lepard is a great band, but Vivians talent is underutilized.
@@MM-id7ivexactly, most people you ask wouldn't have him in their top 50
Under rated as hell. Along with Adrian Smith.

I’m here to remind me what heavy metal vocals are supposed to sound like.
What a legend, sounds even better live than he did on his records, and his recorded vocals are amazing.
I just listened to all 10 albums and they are all great!
And a goddamn gentleman too
He always sounded amazing live. I was fortunate enough to meet him and see several of his shows. He was a very nice and gracious man
only Dio can make a song about rainbows freakin awesome
Only Ronnie could flub the lines and still make it work too. Love the sly grin he shoots Campbell (3:37) when he realizes what he just did.
No shit right, this shit still fucking rocks
Yeah absolutely! :D and...nice beard! ;)
Alfred Neumann thank you brother!
This is nothing. He made a freakin awesome band called Rainbow
No Autotune, No Vulgarity, No shaking Ass.
This is called Pure Talent and Energy.
Metal singer's live voice exceeded their studio voices. Rio was something else.
Holy smokes. Sounds just as good live Amazing talent
@@tommysoprano1441A young Vivian Campbell of Def Leppard fame on guitar. Im not even what youd call a huge, huge metal fan but good is good.
No tweaking tweakers here they would get pregnant in one second
Simplesmente Dio! Congrats!
Never thought metal fans could be such puritan pearl clutchers.
Ronnie and Vivian both epic here. Guitar solo is badass.
No shit
Every time I hear Vivian play that solo I see him walking down a flute of stairs. So cool
Wow. He sounds flawless. It's so rare to hear anyone sound so true to the recorded version.
What a singer!
Sebastian Martinsson ill be the first response. I agree
You know whats amazing? Every live performance of Dio I hear, ronny does some bit of improv in the song and its different from what youve heard and yet at the same time, the whole vibe of the song never feels changed. Only he can sing something thats different and same at the same time. Im not sure if ive said this properly.
I know a few dokken, Ozzy, Cinderella (in the 80 and 90s before he messed his vocal cords up)
Outside of metal flawless and true to their records were prince, Michael jackson, culture club, pet shop boys, Whitney Houston, etc..
Almost forgot Metallica too
Best Metal singer of all time.
+Daniel Bambino For Sure!
He had the pipes.
FORCE OF NATURE!
no backing tracks, no big production, he smiles a lot, introduces the song proper and they go for it. what a voice.
no click either id imagine that drummer is one of the best clicks youll find next to porcaro purdie carmine and a few select others like gadd and keltner
He’s living his best life man it’s like watching Rob Halford at the San Bernardino concert, he’s living it up giving 200% because he knows the band is right up there too 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Vivian, your solo performance in this video is EPIC!!!! 40 years later and it is still the gold standard.
My influence .
Love VC for sure especially with DIO saw them several times with this line up best of times for sure
This solo, and Man On The Silver Mountain were played
with complete precision. That separates the amateurs
from the metal gods.
@@tomodonovan5931
Even when Vivian was Fking up back then he was Incredible,.
Dude was just on Fire for 5 yrs~
It's very Randy Rhoades sounding
One of the most powerful voices in the history of the planet. Wow
Abruzzese as me!
Vivian Campbell is probably one of the most underrated guitarists of the 80's.
agree, not a fan of Def Leppard, they are lame, but Vivian was awesome with Dio and a little with Whitesnake
i think richie sambora too
+Bleach Dark lol def leppard lame? but whitesnake isn't ? do u have dirt in ur ears?
Dio in general in underrated!
Mike Forman dude...they may Be lame too, but the talent of the musician behind Whitesnake is uncomparable to def leppard. Glam is lame in general
Vivian, a pearl of 80's metal
"We shall like to do a song" , and then proceed to melt off everyone's faces...
RJD and his epic hand motions. XD
I’m 52 now and I remember when this was new. Love Ronnie man, love that dude ! Drinking some vodka and remembering the good old days when rock was rock. When I die I will see Dio in concert again.
Amen my metal brother \m/
Johnny Donnie Ronnie 38 special!! Vanzant brothers!!
You better pre-order I heard the next 2 years are sold out
Amen my brother we all feel the same way
38special is my favorite band Zach listen to them every day brother!
Let's not forget Vinny Appice on the drums. The power and tasteful pounding of truly a rock legend! Vinny added the punch to the band! It went right through you......
@William HELLHASEYIS not cozy. carmine u mean?
I played this on guitar and drum machine with the keyboard sampled on my BOSS sampler. It was a bitch to activate everyting on cue
(the samples had to be perfectly timed w the drums) but of course worth it.
Yea', this dude is like a Timex watch'''''😆😂🤣
Dude's a beast!
Great line up for sure was lucky enough to see them 3 times
Ronnie James Dio's voice was so strong that the band didn't drown them out
Seeing him smile between almost every lyric, he loved his work. :).
Golden times before EMO ruined everyrhing!
@@kallekoski4397 have you ever heard about punk? There's emos since all bro. Stop crying
@@brucedickinson8993 You are right. I just personally think music should be a happy thing😃🤘
He was such a kind person and truly loved his fans
@@yahopostinguy429 That's a shame. I get where he's coming from - but this is a rockin' song!
There will never be another Ronnie James Dio, he was a truly great man who brought so much pleasure to so many.
So true he was an amazing man
I enjoyed at least ten or twelve shows in Providence RI.. Also one of his last shows in Boston with Black Sabbath. He was one in a million….
@@EMendonca-mp2mf That's fantastic!
That's why he ripped off his own band. Google and hear what vivan had to say about this. After Ron fired vivian camball, Ron pretty much didn't do a whole lot.
Never forget the subconscious minds fully Memorial memories 2
This video made Vivian Campbell one of my top 4 guitar heroes of all time (and still is).
To the Unsung Legend 🎸🍻
ruclips.net/video/LmSt1oEIshE/видео.html
Epic ^^
yep! Vivian is so cool! one of the greatest rock guitarists ever.
Yes, he is in my top-4 also, along with Randy Rhoads, Zakk Wylde and Doug Aldrich. 80-s metal rules!
Ronnie's biggest mistake ever in his life was sacking Vivian.... or actually, letting his wife sack Vivian.
Are you jocking?Where are Santana, Blackmore, Page,Knopfler, Gilmour ?
RJD was a little guy with a huge voice.. RIP my friend.
5' 3'' With a 10 foot voice! Saw him 3 times. He had the stage presence. One of the Best Ever
😍😍😍
None of today's music can give me chills like this does
What a voice 👍👍
Couldn’t agree more. I know I’m late haha but this makes me feel better than most of todays songs
thats cause todays music sucks
join my band!
Hoje não existe mais músicas, hj e só computadores que fazem os barulhos lkkkkkk
What I loved about Dio is that he was clearly always having an absolute whale of a time on that stage. It’s infectious.
His interaction with the crowd is amazing - so respectful and kind
Nowadays, it would all be "How you FEEL?! You ready yo F*** shit up?! F*** yeah!! Get on your f***in' FEET!! Motherf***ers!! F***yeah!!"
Edgy..
You can tell Ronnie genuinely liked the fans.
Oh you poor gullible bastard.
One of the greatest rock guitar solos of all time. Period.
Sometimes fast and flashy is .... better 🤘
You are so right. He tears it up live too. Great guitarist.
lets not blow things out of proportion ok?
Still gives me goosebumps!!
I must say..... your right!
The guitarist is amazing.
Vivian Campbell from Lisburn Northern Ireland. He went to school with a friend of mine.
Vivian Campbell was a monster with Dio. I saw all three tours he was with RJD.
@rob witt actually that still is Vivian Campbell 😁
Vivian didn't have the easiest time with Ronnie. Vivian was young and going out a lot, Ronnie was a bit older more business, and was really tough on him. Its a tribute to them both that they kept their eye on the ball and made music for the ages! Rainbow is in my top 10 of hard rock songs of all time!
@@ozzzy3z946 jake e lee comes to mind.
Vivian Campbell will always be a guitar god.
LEGEND!!
HIS VOICE SOUNDS HERE LIVE BETTER THEN ON THE STUDIO VERSION!!!
Ronnie was and will always be the only man to sing about magic, and rainbows and rock it !
As a musician, guitarist, and guitar tech for many artists in the past I can tell you that besides having the largest skull crushing vocals in a very small body Ronnie James Dio was a VERY intelligent, kind, intellectual, mannerly, and morally correct person. He had a thing for picking the best guitarists as far as rock song riffs go. Those riffs that turned into some of the best rock songs ever still give me goosebumps during guitar solo's. I must crank up the car stereo when I hear those songs as I go into a musical goosebump Oblivion. His vocals and lyrics were incredibal. He passed away before meeting again and after my last personal gathering with him, Iron Maiden and Metallica at Merriweather Post Pavilion in my state of Md after taking a few PRS Guitars for a few of the guys to try out. I will never forget how genuine, kind and down to earth he was. Just WOW as a person. No he was NOT satanic as some weirdos would have you believe. Also, if you didn't know that he was much older than most rock musicians I bet most are also unaware that Ronnie was in Do-Wop bands WAY back in early 1960's. Look it up on RUclips/Google and listen to the vocal beast doing some lovey-dovey Do-Wop where he got his start. Amazing!! God Bless the "king of rock and roll" and may his legend never die!!!!!
In the early 1970’s I was a student at Bucknell University, which is located on the banks of the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania. The school had a strong Greek system and the students studied hard but enjoyed their weekends. My fraternity would host several big parties each semester featuring live bands. The highlight of each year was House Party Weekend.
We would blow our social budget and hire Ronnie James Dio & The Elves from upstate New York to play at that party. Those performances became the stuff of legends. Ronnie James was awesome. He had no reservation playing an ultra high energy show in front of an enthusiastic group of 18-21 year old college students. We had a beer tap in our large party space that opened up to a big patio and he would stick around after his show and have some brew with the Brothers before packing up and driving north up US Route 15 back to New York State.
He was a genuinely nice guy who sincerely enjoyed entertaining his audience no matter how small the venue.
@@diamondstate6502 Great Story, thank you. That is what 'Stars' means. Dio was and still is a Star in Rock and Heavy Metal Heaven.
@@diamondstate6502 I was also at Bucknell in the early 1970s and sorry that I missed RJD at House Party Weekend. Thanks for sharing a great story!
And we all à aww aa 3àwaaaàaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaà2àwwwww
He is a legend 💯 RIP Ronnie no one will or can top him ever his vocal range was out of this world ...
Ronnie was such a showman... RIP Legend
Its is unbelivable how great this sounds being live Ronnie, you kick ass! 🤘
Ronnie James Dio was somewhat of an anomaly and a contradiction in rock
His voice was simply THE BEST....and
He was considered by all to be a total honest, kind, considerate person and quite the gentleman..so I guess you could say he was one of a kind.
He could knock your socks off
You are truly missed by so many
RIP dear man.
Adding to the anomaly comment - one of the biggest voices coming out of one of the smallest guys
Julia S
rest in.peace,dio you will be saddly missed, nobody does it better
So true - I had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife, Wendy, once at an airport. Such a compassionate, decent person. He is eternally loved.
*metal
Good old metal. I miss stuff like this.
April 25th, 2023, man i sure miss seeing him in concert. I'm almost 60 now & seen him at least 5 times since the early 80's. More times than any other big band. Always an excellent concert there was never a doubt after seeing him live you just knew you were going to be ROCKED!🤘🤘
Dio's feeling of his voice, breathing and body is amazing. So professionally. AND sooo much passion and love! I feel his message through years! The time doesn't exist for Dio's talent. Time doesn't exist when he is singing...
That little guy had more stage presence than anyone I ever saw. Only performer I ever saw who made EVERYONE in the crowd feel like he singled them out at some point during the show. RIP Ronnie!
The only person that comes close is Bruce Dickenson.
Yup
Viv Campbell, totally under-rated
Not back then. He was well celebrated by the metal crowd.
@@williamsmith8790 REALLY??
@@ironbassler747 He was in all the metal and guitar magazines my metal head friends dragged out between class.
@@ironbassler747 ya he was a really big deal in the guitar player community. He had a cool style and phrased things in a different way then most of the guys at the time. He had a relentless attack that was cool. He gets accused of ripping Gary Moore off a lot but we all have our influences
@@crazyhorse4807 REALLY???
What a voice, what a presence! God love you Ronnie R.I.P.
Ronnie James Dio
Vinnie Appice
Jimmy Bain y
Vivian Campbell ...son un gran arcoíris en la oscuridad. RIP RONNIE EL MEJOR VOCALISTA DEL METAL.
The Voice of Metal!!
It's unbelievable his voice sounds as well as it was on a studio record, not so many singers can perform as Mr. Ronnie James Dio, rest in peace
You can hear the passion in his voice.
You nailed it. Passion
I was lucky enough to see Ronnie twice what a performer one of the best concerts iv ever went to Miss ya. Ronnie 🤘💯👊🥀James Dio
Dio had an amazing voice. He sounds here live just as he does on the album.
There are singers who wish they could sing like this live.
Happy Birthday to the Man on the Silver Mountain. You found your Rainbow in the Dark at the Gates of Babylon. RIP my friend, your music will live on forever!
From the moment he opens his mouth until the song is done. What a presence. Perfect every single time. DIO was truly the greatest vocals the Rock world has ever seen. RIP.
Everytime I watch this video it seems to get better. Vivian was only there a few year's but he was killing it with Dio. Dio has yet to be matched as a heavy metal vocalist. RIP 🤟
One thing about RJD, he ALWAYS had time for his fans. Never refused an autograph or spending time with them. Truly well spoken and intelligent, he's an oddity in the metal world. For a 5'4" vocalist, he was a powerhouse in the rock world. A true gentleman. RIP Ronnie.
He was also humble and gave credit to his band mates
Amazing he was already 41 years of ageless performing this. He was and continues to be my favorite HM vocalist of all time.
Bold statement dude.
listening July 10th 2022... Happy Birthday Ronnie... Long Live Rock and Roll!!!
This song was my teenage angst anthem. Hell, these days it still makes me crank it up and channel my 80s angst
Still recall telling my parents I am a rainbow in the dark.....
He was 41 years old in this performance. Insanely good voice at any age, but especially way past the 20's or early 30's age. Phenomenal talent.
Dio! The Man On The Silver Mountain who sang about rainbows and magic and he was pure metal! Miss him. Rip Ronnie James Dio five years next month.
Long before youtube video lessons, a 21 year old Viv Campbell melted the Metal World with a scorching solo like this, yup he's that good and a BEAST of a player for that long!!! LEGEND STATUS!!!
What a powerful voice, one of the best ever, RIP
Dio was for all intents a good man,a refined man and a gentleman. He was also generous in charity . My one regret in life is that I never got to see and hear him live.
Even with the backup band on the road and small bars you missed a lot
Wasn't very generous when it came to him ripping off his band, and firing Viv when he called him on it.
@ what a honor 👏🏻
Despite his flaws that some of you eagerly insist on providing for this forum..he was truly a gentleman. Human, with all of that painful, beautiful, ridiculous and merciful stuff we as humans acquire. I will take being privy to his music and words along with the bad. It's a fucking great deal. Thank God for Dio! Ironic you say? Have A cuppa tea, mate...sit your ass down. U know who u r
@@nicolecraft1050 🤘🤘
Met Vivian Campbell when I was 14 back in the 80's skipping school - his father had a holiday home in Buncrana, Donegal, Ireland
He was 18 in 1980
@@mikeystarr775 That could be right - we would have meet him when he was 22 in '84
The whole group is so dynamic ! Every player is on point and Ronnie is riding the wave !
I'm so thankful I grew up in the 80s and got to see DIO 3 times live. The best 10 years of my life
A true master. And BTW, hey kids, do you recognize that guy absolutely ripping it on the guitar? Well, that is Vivian Campbell, pre neutering in Def Leppard. I know you gotta pay the bills, but.......anyway Vivian was an absolute master as well. Pick up the album, "The Last In Line" and have a listen to the guitar solo on the title track. If you play guitar, try and learn how to play it. It is one of the best guitar solos I have ever heard. Period.
It is VERY EPIC- Not the very best- but it is definitely up there
brother, he still is the man, in 2010 he jammed this song out with steel panther, DL hasn't dulled his shredding mastery.
Yeah the rainbow in the dark solo is crazy man, Tony Iommi does some crazy shit in his 2 solos in the song Over and Over with Dio. Try to learn how to play that !!
I wouldn't say its the best guitar solo ever (have a listen to some of Gary Moores stuff) Vivs solo is good alright ,, In my guitaring days I was able to play it ,so its doable ;)

+Johnnralph thank you, i haven't known this til now
Just listened to the studio/official video of this. His voice is actually stronger here, which for live is not typically what you will find! Not sure that he had limits. The power at that pitch is unsurpassed.
Ронни один из немногих,кто ценил фанатов,любил людей,выкладывался по полной и вообще,Достойный Человек!!!!!!
Этот человек вызывает уважение, я с Вами даже поспорить не могу... но что Вы в таком случае можете сказать про Блэки Лоулеса???🤔
@@user-ej4pw2wg5d Я не являюсь фанатом w.a.s.p. хотя есть две-три их композиции на флешке.Поэтому ничего не скажу за Блэки , как за человека , ну а что касается творчества, то нет идеальных исполнителей, по крайней мере я так считаю.Слушаю только то , что нравится, от чего мурашки бывают по коже. Одно скажу, что это была эпоха!!!! Таких музыкантов больше не будет!!!
The guitar solo here is of God! Vivian Campbell is from another Universe.
Vinny's no slouch on drums either.
I fucking love this song.
Rock on be strong always
I'm 75 and he still makes me smile. Best metal vocalist ever.
What a riff man you can almost feel it it’s so heavy - truly phenomenal
I fucking love the work Campbell did on these songs. And Ronnie was just fantastic
Yes my husband said it really was incredible guitar work.....
Vivian Campbell is an amazing guitarist. He plays and writes songs from the heart. He knows how to rock the fuck outta the place🤘🤘🤘🤘
When he joined Def Leppard I was like, “what happened to Vivian Campbell?” He was at his best with Dio
Clearly the greatest voice in metal.. PERIOD!
No...but definitely one of the best
charles nokes
just THE best! his voice is aggressive and melodic in a perfect balance and mixes with the distortion of guitars like no one else.
charles nokes How many are the best? 2,3,4,10,15,100 ..... Between few are the best?
Gyubriel A thousand thumbs up to this comment. Nobody is even close to the complete singer that Dio was. You described it beautifully!
+Gyubriel
I think Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian does the same thing better. I love dio though
One of the best guitar solos ever
Fun to watch him, like Yngwie, carefully changing pick ups during parts of the solo, to get just the right tone for various passages.
dio, jp , maiden, acdc, ozzy , 1980 thru 85 was an epic documentary in life non stop movie
Vivian Campbell monstruoso!! DIO ETERNO!!!
Lastima que luego se fue a def leppard....
Salud!
Viv is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, and probably the most underrated of all time...
I seen him in Salt Lake city, a great front man ! Rest in peace brother!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Amen ✝️
I didnt appreciate how good this guy/band was when I was listening to his stuff back when it first came out. Pure vocals no computerized smoke and mirrors. So humble out there shaking hands with the fans. Cool stuff.
This guitar solo tho....
Vivian Campbell never got the recognition he truly deserved. He was and still is a phenomenally talented guitarist.
Amazing how good they sounded live, just like on the record. I saw them once and they sounded exactly like this! RIP Ronnie James!
Legends never die !!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I've been a Dio fan since the beginning but I've always wondered how such a tiny man could have such amazing power in his vocals.
2:21 I love this freaking solo!
Dio, with Ronnie James and Vivian Campbell were the best of the 80's and 90's music, like Magic! brings back some awesome memories. Thanks for the Video...
Much love!
LOVE this song...
Love Dio.... a legend
Dio is the greatest metal vocalist EVER. Sounds better live than on the re-mastered records. INCREDIBLE. R.I.P. RJD
🤟🤟🤟
It’s rare to find an artist who can sound as good as Ronnie does live, he’s got the best rock voice EVER without a shadow of a doubt .... RIP RJD ...A true legend
No, Halford!
It's between him and Bruce Dickinson.
@@gerardlezama6408 Mayhap Ronnie James Dio is among the best vocalist in rock.. but my vote for best ever?.. 1st Chris Cornell, Rob Halford second in this order...
Sadly WAS one of the best. Greatly missed
Who else is watching this during quarentine?🌈🎇🤘
The best option
Quarantine is for sick people. You, my friend, are under house arrest.
I dont bow to government. I'm not in quarantine. However, I am listening. So sad to see people believe that shit.wake up!
Sam Clark Doesn’t matter what it is.. I’ll still be listening to Rj DIO and Vivian Campvell rip Rainbow in the Dark!!!
I AM....IM 75 YRS OLD AND LOVE DIO AND RAINBOW....TOO BAD HES GONE..
The little man with the big voice. I miss Ronnie. He left us much too soon. 👍🎸🥁❤️
Como é bom vê-lo Dio!!! Fico puto da vida de não ter visto um show de vc ,mas temos as relíquias como está que se torna num legado 🇧🇷🤘 valeu Dio!!! O pequeno grande homem com uma voz maravilhosa fique em ☮️
Vivian Campbell, WOW!! he was on fire with Dio. Great tone.
Epic and phenomenal - so heavy the tone is on fire!
Epic. That album changed my life. Thank you Dio.
Living back to my days in New York City at Madison Square Garden. I never missed a concert back in the 80's. I even lived good memories at L'Amour bar in Brooklyn
Vivian Campbell, perfect note selection and feel.. so awesome!!
It's been 6 years ago today RIP Dio

I want to like the sentiment of your comment, but not the reality of it. :(
why I can't find a girl like. u. I don't know.why
He was a good singer. R.I.P.
