- Rainbow (Don Kirshner's live show - New York, USA, November 11, 1978)
- Long live rock 'n' roll
- Gates of Babylon
NOTE: there should have been a 3rd song, L.A. Connection. During this air from November 11, 1978 only these 2 were showed/aired. I have seen L.A. Connection from may 1978 and is NOT the same as the promo-clip from the DVD "Live in Munchen 1977" released in 2006 with bonus content of these 3 tracks as promo-clips from 1978. Please read all below and you will understand everything. Be clear that there are/were 3 versions of these 3 songs that were filmed in may 1978 and aired in october and november of the same year 1978. The essence of this is that Ronnie James Dio sings with real vocals while the rest of the band is following the playback....and....the video is re-edited and used for promo-clips. During the air of such editing ....it is obvious that they are not real-live recordings but just edits. It's like if you were to watch the movie Blade Runner from 1984....will it be a real time footage ? No. The problem (dilemma) with these video recordings is that we have time inconsistencies (because of their edits), and playbacks (demos) included....so from both audio and video's perspective it's a mess....so....you need to follow the historical dates when they happened and then....then maybe....my friend....you will know.
**About the video and the audio tracks**
The band Rainbow used instrumental demos (sometimes called "rough mixes") and Ronnie James Dio would go on and record his vocals on them.
And this is exactly what happened on Don Kirshner's show.
For Don Kirshner's show which was aired on October 6 and November 11 in 1978 (but recorded and filmed initially with Rainbow band using playback and Ronnie James Dio using real vocals in May of 1978) there were 3 songs that were captured and later remastered as audio tracks:
1) Long live rock 'n' roll
2) L.A. connection
3) Gates of Babylon
NOTE: its possible that Ritchie Blackmore and other people might have the audio of these tracks as "instrumental versions or demos" and without Ronnie James Dio's vocals, exactly as they were recorded prior to May 1978....but....no one knows.
**About the release of these audio tracks**
Tracks 2 & 3 first appeared on CD in 1993 on "Hit The Rainbow". This was an unofficial release and most likely they were remastered and/or remixed by amateurs and professionals that were not authorized by the band and their owners.
Then in 2012 all tracks (including track 1 as well) appeared on the CD "Long live rock 'n' roll" (which was a re-release in Europe on November 13, 2012 as "Long live Rock'n'Roll" with bonus tracks). This was the so called "deluxe version" or "deluxe edition" of "Long live Rock'n'Roll" album.
In 2014, on the compilation box "A light in the black", tracks 2 and 3 were re-released and remastered once again.
This is all the information you needed. Please refrain from recreating and reinventing the history. The history is only one and you have one chance through it: to be true to yourself.

Blackmore’s biggest project was Deep Purple but his best was almost certainly early Rainbow. So volatile and exciting.
This is a hidden gem. Thanks for sharing. Both Dio and Blackmore were great together. They only made 3 studio albums together, 2 with Cozy Powell. Whether it was Bain and Carey on Rising or Daisley and Stone on Long Live Rock and Roll, it was first class music. Dio went on to do great things with Sabbath and his solo career, but he was never closer to magic than his years with Rainbow. I met Dio several times back in the day and we literally talked for Hours about the Rainbow years, no matter what you might see in some on line interviews later, but Dio loved and appreciated his time in Rainbow, some of his best and most diverse vocals was in this time period. "Temple and the King, Rainbow Eyes." Show an entirely different aspect to his vocals. "The Shed, Sensitive to Light, Tarot Woman, Run with the Wolf" all exceptional Dio vocals and playing by Blackmore and Powell. Of course, the timeless classics such as "Stargazer, Gates of Babylon (shown on this video), Kill the King, Catch the Rainbow (Especially the Live Version)" Other live album classics: "Sixteenth Century Greensleves, Still I'm Sad, Mistreated (Dio singing this Purple classic was outstanding). The Dio years with Rainbow will always be some of my favorites from both Ronnie and Ritchie. They were a great writing team.
😊❤貴方のコメントが、読めて良かった😄 ❢
コージーの早すぎた死が‥
もし、そうでなくっても同じ様なものは、出来なかったかも･･･
thank you for the great words and sharing your experience and love for Dio and Ritchie Blackmore in here. Keep up the good work and treasure these memories all around you for the next generations to come to the future....
Все именно так , они были великолепны , и Коззи уже нет и Ронни ушел , дай Бог здоровья Ритчи и его семье !!!
I spoke with Mike Tramp about 8 years ago and he said that Richie on many occasions said he wished that he’d never replaced Ronnie. It was one of his biggest regrets, the rock world knows that Richie is a volatile head strong character. Why wouldn’t he be, the man’s an absolute genius. 🤘
You said everything I have experienced, felt, loved, and felt sorry for, throughout the years. You made me feel great to know others feel that way. I still hold Rainbow of Dio and Blackmore as the band that I love all they did, and yes, the magic and mystery are all above, around, and part of all they have done.
Dio was the best vocalist in metal. A true legend.
Shit Yeah!!
Saw the ORIGINAL "RISING" outfit at an outdoor show in Burbank on the "RISING" tour, sorry Zep fans, THAT was the greatest Hard Rock/Metal show I ever saw, and brother, I saw 'em ALL! NOBODY ever touched that level of dark brilliance, and I DO mean nobody!
The very golden era of Rainbow!
Best Rainbow lineup
i think so too. the Canadian keyboardist really rocks....great feel and emotions
@@GuitarSession …and Bob Daisley too.
@@GuitarSessionDavid Stone.
I took guitar lessons in 1970 because of Ritchie Blackmore. I had a Gibson Melody Maker and a 100 watt Custom Amp and needed to learn how to play this thing. Later I had a fuzz box and a Wah Wah pedal and jammed in my drummer friend's basement all through high school. Good times. Still play today at age 68. I bit toned down I might add.
I LOVE BLACKMORE RAINBOW
THE BEST BAND EVER .
Rainbow was rock on an intellectual level, as opposed to basic blues-based rock, yet it often had a swing and a beat that kept you tapping yer foot. Blackmore is as good a composer as he is a guitar player
Musicianship at the absolute highest level! They were untouchable.
Thank you very much for this gold.
Its a pity that only the vocals are live though but it is nice to hear the great Dio live and he does a great job as always.
I thought this sounded canned!
Indeed ! And Cozy never had the extra concert toms live in his set up
Yeah this was just the studio recording because Ritchie Blackmore is not that disciplined when he plays live
Looks like the crew set the bass amps on Richie's side and the Marshall's on Bob's side too. Either way it is awesome footage of some of my favorite musicians and a fantastic record.
very interesting! Dio really earning his money then
OH HELL YES! I saw the Rainbow 'Down To Earth' tour at the Beacon in NYC back in the day! What an amazing band Rainbow was, in all it's incarnations! I'm 62, and still listening to this timeless music!
That was one of the First shows with Graham Bonnet and Roger Glover . . .
of course you are , what the heck else you gonna listen to? nothing comes close
Wow at the Beacon. Would've loved to have been there.
@@alexd718o yea!! Try Blue Murder by Insane John Sykes 💙 ❤ Ptolemy❤❤dropp couple words after!!
Me too at 62!
Blackmore, Dio and Powell! For a while there in the 70s their music was everything to me. Lived, breathed and slept Rainbow. Loved everything they did. They were really different than the other heavy bands. They had this mystical aura about them. When they replaced Dio with Bonnet i died a slow death. And after Cozy left i couldn't stomach them anymore. But the early stuff was magical. Thanks for this upload. Awesome!
Agree! 😃👍
I did too. Rainbow was really the only great hard rock band from ‘76-‘78. Well, Judas Priest was great too, but I wasn’t aware of them until Unleashed In The East came out.. All the early ‘70s bands were fading. Rainbow was all I had too. Rising, On Stage and Long Live Rock and Roll were on heavy rotation! (So was early Kiss, but let’s not tell anyone I said that). 😂
Me too😊
Ditto
After they went mainstream pop rock with Joe Lynn Turner it was over for me. Bonnet was a good singer, I just wish they would have stuck to the classic rock sound they had become famous for
...and boy, if ANY one embodied the spirit of cutting edge rock'n'roll, it was Don Kirshner. His look, his hair, his hip lingo, the way he dressed...you ROCK, Don.
Amazing stuff. In just 2 years, Ronnie would meet up with the remaining members of Black Sabbath and make arguably the most iconic Black Sabbath album... Heaven and Hell,
Kirshner was one the few who showed artists like this some love. In the disco era no less!
Always treated Sabbath well too. That was a rare thing back then!!
Yeah people don’t realize this was the “rock is dead” era.
Sure do miss the voice of the great Dio, one of a kind.
WOW!!! Thanks for sharing this jewell...! Blackmore rules forever!
My favorite Rainbow Lineup and LP. Ritchie's solo here is still hypnotic.
superb - three of the greatest on their instruments 👍🥰
Do not forget the 3 couldnt do it on their own , Bob Daisley did a HUGHE contribution on Bass AND music wise overall in this Line up, Dave Stone on Keyboards ,although He never played such a Hughe role as Bob Daisley did .
Rainbow 🌈 was a great group. 👍 This is a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. Ronnie James DIO grew up just 30 mins from me in Cortland New York. I remember back when he played in ELF
I saw this group live twice on the Long Live Rock n Roll tour and the record had already been out for a few months. I was so disappointed that they only played LLRNR but was ecstatic to see them play most of On Stage. I went on to see them with Graham and at least a half dozen times with the later line ups. Always great shows but these were the most memorable.
Now That's A Rock and Roll Band Folks.
Live vocal (only). This is bonus on the Live in Munich 1977 DVD
Yes and no. It depends on "when you are referring that the vocals were lively recorded"! So....they were recorded live in may of 1978 together with the video. This video, however is aired little bit after....in november, 1978. This is not the BONUS of the "Live in Munchen 1977 DVD"...listen to "Long live Rock'N'Roll" in here and you will hear at the end clapping and cheering....while on the DVD is erased and is fading away. Therefore....they are 2 different versions and/or edits. Again....there are 3 versions: the may 1978 version, the october 1978 version, and the november 1978 (the last being the one I posted it in here). I hope this clarifies the dilemma.
I have updated the description...please read it through when you can and if you have any questions ask me.
@@GuitarSession True two different takes. The TV versions skips the intro for GoB.
but includes footage of camels etc
This is how it should be (stereo)
ruclips.net/video/Youen_IInkk/видео.html
@@GuitarSession
Your spot on.
Vocals here are way better than on the Live in Munchen DVD. Dio's intonation is completely different on this version.
Ritchie's solo herd is magnificent & raw 👏
Dio era Rainbow was brilliant by far the best music should have been massive
This is the greatest set of musicians
in one place .....
Hall of Fame !😊
great Drummer Cozy Powell...and rip Great RJD!!
RONNIE james dio The Best Forever #1 🍺🤘🎤🍷🎶⚡️🌈🎃 Long Live Ronnie James Dio The Man on The Silver Mountain 🔥🔥🔥 from CHILE 🇨🇱
They peaked with long live rock and roll never to be bettered.
I used to watch this show religiously hoping to see one of my purple heroes but I never caught any episode yet here it is.
This album is in my Playlist in my car, great album,
Ritchie, Ronnie, Cozy.....the superest super group
Don’t forget Bob Daisley and David Stone!
45 years ago. It's rare today to hear the emotion or to experience the showmanship of those classic lineups.
Blackmore is quite underrated and overlooked as a rock guitarist..thanks for sharing 👍
He is?!?!
"Underrated and overlooked" LMFAO. You clowns never quit.
No. No, he most definitely is not underrated and overlooked. What a load of bollocks.
Underrated????
No he's not. He's in a different zone then many others. He's always been in my top ten since 1969
Thanks a lot! Long live RNR!
Such a great band ! I used to love that album "On Stage".. Blackmore, Dio, Powell - damn ! Those guys didn't mess around !
so graet to watch this !! What a treasure ! Grüße aus Hamburg
Blackmore was THE rock guitarist in those days. Listen to most any song he played on and you can hear his magic. He made that guitar sing.
Love the fact that he refused to mime. Simply the best. 🤘
Hells ya!. Ronnie knew he could deliver the goods anytime, anywhere.
L.E.G.E.N.D.S 🎸🔊🤘🤘
R.I.P R.J.D 🙏🙏
Браво !!! Это была Великая Музыка!!! Остаётся только вспоминать и ещё раз переслушивать!!!
my first rainbow album!!!- long live rock and roll
Thank you very much for sharing this. This is ROCK in its most perfect form.
I was in high school and came home early to see this in the original broadcast
Long live rock'n'roll...tout est dit....Merci pour ce témoignage.
Thanks for sharing this flashback memory in time. Saw this very tour in San Francisco (Winterland), during my early teen years. Epic.
Amazing! Have never seen this clip before. What a band!!!
This is amazingly good for Rainbow fans when Dio was the lead singer.
I'm 56 and not ashamed to say that Rainbow with Dio was my favourite ever band !
However . . .
It's sad that Ronnie was treated so poorly by Ritchie, and this video proves it.
2 key points:
I. Still referred to as
Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
AND
II. Dio was promised copyright
royalties on, OR, after Rainbow's fourth studio album !
The rest is history.
I don't know of anyone receiving royalties from Rainbow.
Cozy Powell said he was very well paid by Ritchie.
Bob Daisley said,' Cozy was always buying fast cars including Ferrari's. '
It was Richie Blackmore's rainbow because before it Dio was an absolute nobody! Richie came from Purple, Diop came from Elf!! Understand??
Not true
Yes it sucks for Ronnie, but we got one of the greatest Albums ever came from it. Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell,
Thank you for posting these videos!!! You made my day!!!!
🎸😎🎸 Long live Rock n Roll!!
Saw Rainbow with Joe Lynn Turner. Saw Sabbath with Ronnie. Ronnie was a god. RIP.
Wow, this is gold, I've never seen this performance! My favourite era of Rainbow by a mile.
Wow, so cool. Never have seen it before. Thank you for posting it.
I bought the album when came out and still have it and still love it
Dio was the most down to earth friendliest person I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. RIP Ronnie
Incredible clip!!!
Too bad the personalities clashed. They were so good together. I always think about how more awesome music could've been created if they were together longer.
So classic. 🌈 ✊️
Wow - this is awesome! And - BOB DAISLEY! I like how he's singing live to the backing tracks - RJD predicted Karaoke!!! 😂
Wonderful - great pics of Bob Daisley
Probably my fav of rainbow tours
Long live Rock and Roll
Don't remember seeing this. Nice.
I do .
Ronnie James Dio was my favorite lead singer for Rainbow.
Omgggg. Hell yessssl long live rock and roll 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘. Wow.. so raw. Full of energy
Hi, I'm Don Kirshner, a talentless businessman. Allow me to tack my name onto this live music program and introduce these rock bands like a CEO kicking off a boring work conference.
Классная, настоящая музыка !!!
Def’ only live vocal. Ritchie couldn’t play the same solo twice .. so forget mining to what he did a year ago in France. 😀That of course is the very reason he was so great to see and listen to live.
Saw them on their first U.K. tour in 76 and all subsequently. Just fantastic.
I got both clips in the live in munich dvd, plus one clip that is not here, L.A. connection.🎸🎤🔥⚔️🔥
This is great, never seen this clip before.
Pure delight and magic.
Cool DKRC clip ! 70's Rainbow was great.
Oh man what a beauty! Thanks for sharing! totally awesome
Amazing!!! All-Star Line-up. Gives me chills.
AWSOME, was only 10 so never got to see them at their peak! Wish they made more, yet then we wouldn't have the Dio Sabbath era if they did. So guess it worked out best for we the fans. Thanks for this 🤘
Sounds excellent! A huge fan from back in the day! Thanks for posting!
As a budding guitarist in the 70’s I was a huge fan of Blackmore. I tried to incorporate a number of his licks in my solos. 55 years later I still like to ham it up with DP or Rainbow references.
Thank you for sharing! When music was real!
Love the different lyrics
The great bob daisley playing bass hell yeah
I loved this lineup, simply the best
Great musical History. Thank you.
Великие и Величайший !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had no idea this existed! Thanks for posting.
Wow , awesome clip!
You can tell it's Cozy Powel no matter who he played with...RIP Cozy and Dio..long live rock and roll.
Respect to you on your deep research and intelligible writing skill...
Small man, big voice
Ronnie is live only! 🤘
Definitely gotta listen to more Rainbow!
LOVE Ronnie James Dio in anything!!
Great post!!!!!!!
Cozy Powell, one of the very first double bass drummers
cozy powell looks like Jeff beck on drums
Damn, I think I remember seeing this when it first aired!
Thanks!
WOW bLOODYHELL yeah
Several key monents when he whispering to you drawing out of you dear, a need to feed the rainbow and see the many colors, may wine is as you lay draped over me, heaven dio, I see what you mean...
I see a Rainbow Rising. Look there on the horizon. (1976) 🌈
I really dig this far out sound man !
