Yngwie Malmsteen is very technical, but he lacks feel and space. Ritchie is a master of feel and space. Ritchie is my GOAT.
Malmsteen is a robot who has no feeling in his guitar playing. Take the distortion away from it and there's nothing left. Blackmore doesn't need effects, his fingers do the talking.
@@a.k.1740 100% agree. I always want people to listen to the studio version of Deep Purple's "When a Blind Man Cries". Ritchie's guitar drips with sadness. You can feel every note.
@@jalkabre5904 I can blame Ritchie Blackmore for a lot of things including often fumbling around and looking for the inspiration that didn't come at gigs with Deep Purple or Rainbow instead of staying focused on his playing, consistently playing the same setlist of songs and having abandoned a large part of his repertoire (as much with Purple as with Rainbow), his bad mood, etc... but anyway, he's still a great guitarist with a unique touch.
@@a.k.1740 Ritchie is aloof, strange and yet brilliant. He does get bored of his playing and will be in a bad mood if he doesn't play well. He has often said, he plays for himself, thus if he plays poorly he is in a bad mood. I am just happy to be around to hear it.
Malmsteen couldn’t shine Ritchie’s shoes.
Rainbow is such a talented and under rated band. One of my favorite bands of all time. Blackmore, Dio, and Cozy were some of the best musicians during the 70's. "Stargazer", "Kill the King", "Gates of Babylon", "Long Live Rock and Roll", Temple of the King", Catch the Rainbow" and soooo much more. Love this band.
My favourite band ever since the beginning, well Maiden eats apart.
I would add to this list "mistreated" live in Munich!
Rainbow is Under rated band?
What you expect to not be consider like that?
Make them religion? For many they are.
They are not.
They have all the recognition they deserve from the people that deal with that music
@@roaringivory Rainbow is indeed an underrated band. They have a niche following that is broken up by the different singer eras. Each have their own style and sound. Because of the change over in personnel and styles, they are marginalized as mediocre band by many. However, I appreciate all the eras, but do have my preference with the Dio's era being the best music.
@@jalkabre5904 That they are some ignorant kids about music, that don't appreciate them much, doesn't mean that they are under rated.
They are being called Legends, by LEGENDS
You MUST do “Stargazer” from this album. Not only the best song from this album, but the best song Rainbow ever recorded.
100%
I even think that's one of the best songs ever
2nd best, Gates of Babylon is #1.
One of my favorites of all time. Epic song.
And, Light in the Black is actually a follow on from Stargazer. Best rock vocal performance by a male vocalist ever. R.I.P. Ronnie.
What a monster album.. I absolutely love this disc🌈✊
This is the sequel to the previous track "Stargazer"..what an album!
There is nothing Ritchie Blackmore can't do with a guitar. His versatility is just amazing as is his technique. He has to be in the top 5 guitarists of all time.
Ronnie and Cozy with Ritchie by far the best lineup.
So before I even start to watch . . .
1st - THANK YOU to whomever requested this, and to YOU Sir Nicholas for FINALLY introducing yourself to the OUTSTANDING line-up of this era of 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖇𝖔𝖜! (and I hope Lexi too!)
2nd - Thank you immensely for _starting_ your journey through the Rainbow with this album, and a track that most don't go with (its ALWAYS "Stargazer", even though its a great iconic track, but so are the shorter songs on the album).
Now I will have a HUGE smile on my face as I watch you listen to this EPIC, and the epicness, that is the 𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖓𝖎𝖊 𝕵𝖆𝖒𝖊𝖘 𝕯𝖎𝖔 era! With the late-great 𝕮𝖔𝖟𝖞 𝕻𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖑𝖑 on drums, the late-great 𝕵𝖎𝖒𝖒𝖞 𝕭𝖆𝖎𝖓 on Bass, 𝕿𝖔𝖓𝖞 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖊𝖞 on Keyboards, and 𝕾𝖎𝖗 𝕽𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖉 𝕭𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖐𝖒𝖔𝖗𝖊 (Ritchie Blackmore) on the Strat! A once in a lifetime line-up that produced this glorious album 🙂.
And here we go . . . .
I saw Rainbow Rising tour. They played Stargazer, A Light in the Black, Still I'm Sad all in a row. Over an hour of incredible rock. You talk about Baroque arpeggios, Ritchie was playing that them in concert for years. During A Light in the Black, those arpeggios are amazing. I saw him play those. He and Carey (on the keyboards) matching each other playing those arpeggios was amazing to see. I close my eyes and relive it. Then I went backstage (Ritchie gave me backstage pass) and met all the lads in Rainbow.
The other key member in this band is Cozy Powell on drums. He played w/ Jeff Beck; Deep Purple; Sabbath; one Yngwie album; w/ Emerson and Lake; and so many others.....great drummer. As stated, the tune Stargazer and the drums that open that tune...iconic.
You omitted The Michael Schenker Group.
@@scottmcgregor4829 Indeed....though, i didn't omit, just not one that came off the top of my head. There were many others as well...a brief stint w/ Whitesnake was another.
@@kevlar_t4echo John Sykes & Cozy! Cozy's death was probably my "1st" HUGE Loss in music at a time I was really diving into various Rock, Metal & Progressive Rock. Him, Gary Moore, Ronnie Montrose, Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, Chris Squire, Neil Peart . . . terrible huge loses, and the many before and after :(. At the very least ALL their music lives on :').
In the UK there was a minor hit single in the 70's. Cozy Powells Hammer - Dance With The Devil
@@mvunit3 Cozy was a huge loss....for myself though, Neil was and still is the biggest loss. I'm a drummer as well and when i was active (have not been in the last few years), i wrote a fair share of lyrics. Neil had the chops and the words.
Rainbow rising in my opinion is one of the best hard rock album of the 1970’s. Stargazer is simply incredible. This is the best lineup with Ronnie and Cozy.
Anyone who appreciates this album can't fail to recognize the brilliance of the subsequent release, Long Live Rock' n Roll. A wonderful your de force!
Imo, as a consequential band, Rainbow's classic period was the three albums with Ronnie James Dio: Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Rising and Long Live Rock n Roll. Favorite songs:
Man on the Silver Mountain
Stargazer
Kill the King
A pretty one for Alexia would be Rainbow Eyes.
Couldn't agree more... including with your song picks (and I also would have listed Man on the Silver Mountain first)
You could always tell when Cozy was on drums, incredible.
One of THE best hard rock albums of all time! What a leap from the first.
Do You Close Your Eyes?
In my humble, Blackmore's finest solo
This album is a precursor to Power metal and Speed metal. And when you have Dio, Cozy Powell and Ritchie Blackmore in a band we can only expect magic!!
What I believe was the best Ranbow lineup ever with Tony Carey on Synth really gave them some extra depth of sound and Ronnies voice was perfect !
Hi Nick [ again ] Boy I enjoyed that ! Thankyou ! I know it's difficult to play songs mentioned in comments but ... "Stargazer" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part one of, "Light In The Black" is utterly stunning !!!!!!! and if you ever have to break any rules about requests ... this is the track to do it !!!!!!!!!!! Lol [ Do you think I put enough exclamation marks ? ] ... Ok some help .. So when ...sorry...if you play Stargazer.....so you wont need lyrics to distract ... Its about slavery ... A man called "The Wizzard" wants a tower of stone built, reaching the stars, high into the sky and forces these slaves to build it...When finished he climbs it to jump off the top, believing he will fly and having convinced the slaves he will fly. He falls ....splat ! So with that out of the way 🤪 Lol Well whatever you decide... thankyou for this. That was so good ! Can't believe I just turned 20 when I bought this album in '76 !!! Byee ! Jim X
Rainbow Gates of Babylon - another gem.
Dio is always amazing!
I agree 100% about listening to the music first and then going back for the lyrics later. Drives me crazy when reactors focus on the lyrics of a song while missing all the musical magic.
I ran into someone related to Rainbow at the post office in Granada Hills, Ca. 3-4 years ago…
Maybe one of their managers, or recording engineers…
We were both sending LPs in the mail to ebay customers…
He was surprised I was not familiar with Rainbow!🤪
After reading the Wiki on them, I can see why! I recognized a lot of the past members.
Drummer " Cozy" used to tape his fingers, for blisters""" You can see why"" after this song"", Nice Review""
Nice I had this album but has mostly slipped my mind, it’s a great refresher. My favorite Rainbow song has always been man on the silver mountain. Go Nick.
Nick, Stargazer from the same album is incredible, one of the all time heavy rock classics, Dio, Blackmore and Powell are on fire!
After Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Rainbow are the definition of early heavy metal.
Yngwie played with 4 vocalists from Rainbow, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner, Doogie White and did one song with Ronnie James Dio!
This was 1977 but Blackmore was killing it in 1969. Check out on RUclips the sweeping and speed he possessed on Deep Purple Live at Blizen (24 min version). He was doing stuff nobody else did. Not even Hendrix. Same year there’s Deep Purple In Rock which is one of the first Metal albums.
Richie Blackmore is one of if not the greatest guitarists ever. There is feeling and emotion in his playing. Everything from Deep Purple to Blackmore's Night, you can hear it. Just my humble opinion.😁
This is like a GOAT for prog metal and speed metal. I mean 1976.
This album is equivalent to the moon landing. A mile stone. The whole band explodes on this record. shit i love it
Hi Nick ! OMG !!!! I nearly spilt my coffee ! Yaahoooo ! Oh Nick this is part 2 of the story of "Stargazer" they should be played together ..but...the fact you are going to play this at all is brilliant...so I haven't yet played the video. I just saw the link with the words 'Finally' !! ... Nick, I am going to really savor this moment. Lol. I love Rainbow !!! Byee Jim X
Doogie White also sang for both Rainbow and Malmsteen.
One guy who wasn't a huge fan of this was Ronnie James Dio. He's criticized the second half of the album in an interview I saw for being self indulgent. But as with mos tof Ritchie's former singers, he didn't get along with him very well. I guess he and Yngwie have that in common as well.
Play STARGAZER from this album. Not only Rainbows best song but one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Lexi would love it too. #nicknlexrequest
The whole song is so up tempo, melodious and when Ritchie comes in with his solo at 12.49 this gives me sudden goosebumps...
Nick You gotta cover UFO Rock Bottom Live off the Obsession album. A little long for Lex but Michael Schenker has amazing precision as well!
Enjoyed the concert report, Nick. And great Rainbow reaction. Let’s go, Narvik. And yes, shout out to Tony. 👋😜
I am admittedly more of a Prog fan but Rainbow Rising is a great album. I even played the whole album live with a band I was in. A great hard rock album.

Ca ca depote 🎸🎸🎸🎸👏👏👏👏🎸🎸🎸
They won me over with the duelling jam in the second half, and Dio's vocals got stronger and he let it rip.
Everyone is telling you to do "Stargazer", and you should. Lex would like it, too. It's epic. You should also do "Kill the King", "Man on the Silver Mountain", "Gates of Babylon" for other Dio Rainbow classics. From the Graham Bonnet era (one album), "Eyes of the World", "Lost in Hollywood", and of course "Since You Been Gone" and "All Night Long"
One of Ritchie best solos!
Thanks Nick. I am a metal newbie of course, but I knew RB's stuff from back in the day. I really enjoyed this reaction.
Deep Purple -Mistreated live in California jam in 1974. Worth watching Blackmore play his solo! Amazing performance as well as Rainbow -Mistreated live in Munich in 1977. I recommend listening to both versions of the song.
Absolutely love the guitar on this song, that solo is relentlessly intense
Everyone thinks Stargazer is the best song on the album.. I absolutely disagree... This song is!!!! And The Greatest Ones Voice is Majestic!
Cool! I had the 1st 4 Rainbow albums back in the day, and played the hell out of them! Thanks Nick!
Grandiose 🎸🎶🎤🎸🎤👏👍🎶🎤
El álbum entero es una joya, el mejor de Rainbow
Stargazer!! Goosebumps
Soon!!!
Saw Brit Floyd two years ago. Amazing band! Transportive! As to Rainbow, Richie may be prickley but He is in my top 5 favorites. Precision classical gas!
Side 2 Rainbow Rising-game over!!!!
First time listening with headphones 🎧. Never noticed the quality of the kick drums wow.
Side 2 of Rainbow Rising is possiblly the greatest side of heavy rock ever put down. Just two tracks. Shivers all over.
Just listen to Cozy and Jimmy in the rythme section, totaly driving.
Besides this and Stargazer, the opening track Tarot Woman is also great.
I saw Pink Floyd for the first time on the momentary lapse of reason tour. I graduated from Duquesne in Pittsburgh… And flew to Miami to see the tour. We saw it at the Orange Bowl (tropical depression Floyd was in full force with a deluge for the show) What a great show! I saw it two more times that year… One time was in Cleveland and they open the show… With Echoes. The rest of the tour they opened with shine on. And I got to see the division bell three times. All real important shows to me.
There would be no Maiden ,Metallica or Dream Theatre without Purple/Rainbow.
I must agree 💯
Bringing back some great memories. SOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!
I gotta listen to that whole album
To me, l think Dio did his best work with Rainbow, l do like heaven and hell, mob rule's, but l think he did his best work with Rainbow, can u imagine if Blackmore, Dio and Powell would have stayed together
Ian Gillan is the vocalist of Deep Purple. He formed the band Gillan in the 80s which I enjoyed at the time.
And prior to forming Gillan he formed the Ian Gillan Band in 1975 which lasted until early 1978.
@@a.k.1740 I wasn't as keen on those albums.
@@stephenhaunch3468 The IGB was musically much less hard (a kind of fusion between prog-rock with jazzy tendencies) whereas Gillan was harder or even a little heavy at times, which is why unlike you, I prefer the Ian Gillan Band.
As far as creating “ thrash metal” goes, listen to “ Hard Loving Man” on “ Deep Purple In Rock”. It’s all there!!
This is my favorite band and I’m glad you reacted to this masterpiece! Perhaps their best. The “Douche” never sounded so good.lol
Blackmore blows them all away!
You should have done Stargazer first, tells the story of the Wizard, then A Light in the Black is the sequel or follow up after the demise of the Wizard. I was lucky enough to see Rainbow live at the Adelaide Festival Theatre (South Australia) back in 1976. Best concert ever!
We did the full album Alexia and I. It's on the Patreon. Great songwriting by dio and Blackmore
@NicknLex Ahhh, cool!
Good stuff, I had this on vinyl back in high school
So pleased you enjoyed Brit Floyd Nick, I commented when you were climbing the stairs to red rocks you would find it Amazzzzing, I'm sure lex loved it too.
Wait til you get to Stargazer !!
Stunningly epic,in fact,this whole album is a rock landmark.
Ronnie James was never as good as this before or after,his high point in my opinion.
Rainbow rising best album ever
I dig almost all of Rainbow's stuff. My fave is the Difficult To Cure album, though. Probably because that was my first Rainbow album and it has stuck with me.
Very cool!
“Kill The King” , “Stargazer” are Awesome as well!
**Speaking of Van Halen, “Light Up The Sky” , “Romeo Delight” , “Atomic Punk” are killer deep cuts. I guarantee you’ll dig those. Also, “One Foot Out The Door” which is a two minute banger! The last minute is all Eddie!!!
epic solos
To me, Dio era Rainbow is the best Rainbow..
That was fantastic Nick!
Thank YOU Narvik! Great request (and another fave album and track from "Budgie" too!)! So yes Nick, open-up the "Rising" CD and read-up on the history of the album and lyrical content from Blackmore & Dio (This song is a "Part II" in the story that is told on the previous track "Stargazer").
After a few requests from the Dio era of the band, you MUST checkout with Lexi, the DVD I got you; "Live in Munich 1977" (when you were figuring out why Blackmore lived in Germany when you were a baby, from the "unboxing reaction" :). From the line-up of the album "Long Live Rock 'n Roll", and SEE Dio & Blackmore and their stage-presence, especially to watch the track "Catch the Rainbow" that is DRASTICALLY different and more EPIC than the original studio version, which Lexi needs to see, but when you guys are comfy on a sofa and ready to be blown away.
*Yngwie vs Blackmore . . .*
Well hey, I grew-up (relatively late with...) with Blackmore and Deep Purple/Rainbow, so I was already well-versed with his stage presence, personality, compositions and "style" (be it Rock, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Heavy Rock and Neo-Classical). So by the time I discovered Yngwie from his beginnings with Steeler, then Alcatrazz, then Solo, I was a HUGE fan because he was taking Blackmore's technique's (and Uli Jon Roth) to the next level. BUT . . . Blackmore not only has the chops, but "compositions", whatever era of Deep Purple & Rainbow, he had the "hooks", the sound, and memorable songs that became ICONIC, and a powerful stage presence. He had longevity, variety and other than Blackmore's personality, people still talk about what he contributed to Rock and Metal (and his medieval/baroque period).
As far as my story with 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖇𝖔𝖜, well its easier to link my "essay" on a particular subject (and in the Deep Purple/Rainbow section of my story) of the essay found here: mavearworx.weebly.com/blog/witnessing-the-birth-of-progressive-metal-part-1-of-2
(LOTS of video, albums and track links need to be replaced, so I hope to get to it all sooner than later).
*For the Dio era of tracks that Lexi would get into:*
Self-Portrait
Temple of the King
Tarot Woman (one of my favorites)
Starstruck
Lady of the Lake (my fave track)
Gates of Babylon
Rainbow Eyes (this track will surprise you both)
. . . others here will direct you to their faves from the Dio era. And I'll chime-in on the album with Graham Bonnet and some of my fave tracks at a different time.
But Nick (and Lexi), for an appreciation of Ronnie James Dio's *Vocal* dynamics, its a MUST to watch Opera Singer/Vocal Coach *Elizabeth Zharoff* of the channel "The Charismatic Voice", who breaks down everything Dio does, and has become a HUGE fan:
ruclips.net/video/_ioYg6Kx1UM/видео.html
(she has done a total of "7" reactions so-far!)
Soon, you will also have to breakout the 2 CD's of *Dio* with *Black Sabbath* ("Heaven and Hell", "The Mob Rules"), when he was "fired" from Rainbow, and Ozzy was fired from Sabbath . . . becoming a new era for Sabbath and a vocal ICON in Metal.
- Thank you Narvik & Nick SOO much for finally getting to 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖇𝖔𝖜! MUCH more Jaw Dropping to come \m/.
Hearing those songs at age 10-11 gives them so much weird emotional power!
I saw Heart, at the Orpheum years back when they toured playing “Dog and Butterfly” from start to finish.
I was 10-11 when that record was all over top 40 AM radio! WBBF 🤓
ohhHHHHhhhh! :D That is my FAVORITE Heart album :). Only seen them live for "Passion Works" and they were awesome, it was my "2nd" concert very late in life (I was 18-19?). "Mistral Wind" . . . my God, what a song!
Rainbow deep purple 🎸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣🎸🎸🎸🎸
stargazer is the best on this album followed by tarat women, the album Down to earth is another classic especially the opening track 'in the eyes of the world ' and making love is another belter.
Dio is the greatest metal singer of all time!
RITCHIE BLACKMORE….ENERGÍA INTENSIDAD MELODÍA FUNDADOR DE DEEP PURPLE Y RAINBOW CREADOR DEL HEAVY,HARD,CREADOR DEL ROCK NEOCLASICO ,Y EL BRAZO ESCALOPADO, QUE MÁS PODEMOS DECIR DE ESTE GENIO!!!!
Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motorhead and Venom were the real precursors to metal and all the variations down from there.
I think you have heard that before. The way you move your head to the music.
IMHO, this and Long Live Rock and Roll are the best Rainbow albums. Graham Bonnet is an amazing singer too, and Down To Earth is an incredible album as well. I saw him a couple of years ago with MSG and he still sounded awesome.
Blackmore has been my favorite guitar player ever since I got into music. His solos are classy and he plays with feeling (of course there are a few exceptions to this). Malmsteen can play fast but I don't personally think his solos are always classy, they seem to be more for flash and to impress with the speed at which they are played. He can also play some beautiful and perfect pieces, don't get me wrong, but if you study Blackmore's solos and techniques and really listen to what he's created, he's a genius.
AMEN on all points! Almost went to see that MSG show too! Never seen Bonnet live :(.
You nailed it to 100%.
You need to treat yourself to the DVD of Rainbow - Live in Munich 1977
Yngwie and Ritchie are in categories of their own mastering. Two different styles and love them both equally, and same with Eddy Van Halen and Randy Rhodes...and I can name many more that are in their own category. These are just the tip of the iceberg.
Connection: On the 1974 Deep Purple Burn Tour, the opening band on UK dates was ELF. That band (minus their guitarist but WITH Ronnie james Dio) became the band for the first Rainbow album. #nicknlexrequest
Deep Purple /Rainbow énorme 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Ritchie Blackmore! Cozy Powell! Never saw Rainbow or Deep Purple, but I saw Blackmore in Blackmore's Night and saw Cozy in Emerson, Lake & Powell. I remember Rainbow from the old MTV days!
Hey Nick, glad to see you discovered Rainbow. I was there at the beginning and I prefer the 2nd incarnation of Rainbow with Ritchie, Cozy and RJD. The incarnation that put out this album. As a fan of Deep Purple since my teens. I was waiting for Ritchie to light it up. He did so on the previous album but Rising is on another level. I really appreciate your reactions to the songs that shaped my life. Catch The Rainbow is a great slow song featuring Dio. Also speck out Mistreated Live!
Hehehe presente presentecaca estoy ✋💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Research is the 🗝 before hand. Know your subject matter.
Hi Nick, there is an incredible version of Mistreated live in Munich in 1977 by Rainbow. It has the most amazing vocal performance by Dio but also THE most intense guitar tone from Ritchie Blackmore. He may not be fast as the shredders but he has so much feel. It would make a great reaction.
Who else played like this in 1976? Budgie, UFO, Judas priest for starters
I saw Brit Floyd last year and they were incredible! Never thought I'd hear "Echoes" live.
I know 🥰
@@NicknLex, my aunt and uncle had an extra ticket because my uncle's friend couldn't make it last minute. By chance, I was having brunch with them and my family when they were talking about it. I guess my aunt could see how interested I was because without hesitation, she turned to my uncle and said "I know someone who'd want to go." I had a wonderful time with them and had gotten super into Pink Floyd at the beginning of last year. I've never seen such a crazy light show, and man did they capture the magic of the original group! The Floyd is my uncle's favorite band and it was such a joy seeing him go nuts about Brit Floyd!
You asked about the revolving door of Rainbow singers and by far beyond question there is nobody that could ever fill Ronnies boots after him they were all weak by comparison if you only bought one Rainbow album Rising Rises far higher than the rest!
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏
I believe Man On The Silver Mountain was the first Rainbow song I heard... I ended up with 3 of their albums (I think), and followed Ronnie James Dio to Black Sabbath for Heaven And Hell (the only pre-recorded cassette I ever owned 😀 ). The man had a voice bigger than his body.
Guau...simplemente una obra maestra del rock. Guau...genios. Ritchie Blackmore y Ronnie James Dio. Maravillosos...grandiosa cancion.
Star gazer is awesome!
This is my favorite Album.
