Ritchie Blackmore is a king of guitar musicianship. I first heard Deep Purple back in 72 and have always held him in the highest esteem ever since ,I dont give a monkeys what anyone else says or thinks he is no1 for me.
Know you can understand why Ritchie Blackmore is one of the best guitarist ever..he can play fast, blouse , melodic with feeling,jaj, heavy metal everything..only with his fingers and his Marshall's.....and also wtrote one of the best rock songs ever like burn.temple of the king child in time and much more
The difference between Blackmore and other players is the fact that Blackmore can play all their styles but the compliment cannot be returned. That’s what makes RB special.
AT LAST! AT LAST! AT LAST! Have no idea how many times I've listened to this - even called my house after it - but still shed a tear along with Lex there! Bless her! I was hoping that one day you might both do a Marathon of Ritchie's solos from Purple, Rainbow & Blackmore's Night, as I guessed this would be the reaction we would get. I lost my best friend before he was 40 and this was the 2nd one of the songs we played at his funeral, specifically because of that ending. But for even more emotions, the first one we had played was "Maybe Next Time" which also has a German name. There's always discussions about which singer was the best - but with him making that Strat sing like that - who cares! Keep 'em coming good people!
By the way Nick - to me the finest live track of all time is "Catch the Rainbow" off of On Stage (15:34!) and I usually couldn't suggest anything better anyway, but at the start you'll hear Ritchie playing your Bach piece on his Strat!
And then there is the instrumental Son of Alerik almost a spiritual journey on the Strat with Lord and company doing a masterclass throughout ruclips.net/video/9d6q3caSO0A/видео.html
This was a homerun narvik! Thanks for treating all of us. I had never heard this song before but I will hear it again. Great reaction Nick & Lex! Wow it is tough to see Lex cry. 😭
congrats on 100 thousand,,you two deserve all the sucess and fun that goes with it,,,never lose your sweet emotions{either of you},,i look forward to next unboxing ,,,much love to you my Rocky Mtn friends...Kent.
Yeah Narvik back on the block with an excellent song request. I am sad. This song is only now coming into my life. What a great and compelling piece of music. Terrific guitars and instrumentation. I’ll be downloading it ASAP. Thank you. Great reaction NicknLex. Wonderful to see you both at 💯 K, looking stunning with your Maple leaf and lovely deep red orange t shirt. Look forward to your possible music interview.
I am 73 and don't know how the heck I missed this! I know a lot of Richie's works, but this album and piece slipped through the cracks. So emotional. Thanks Lexi for your emotion, it added to my emotional reaction. Thank you guys for all you do for us oldie but moldy graybeards and grannies.
@@NicknLex There is an instrumetal song of blackmore that more beautiful than this (IMO), its called 'Vielleicht Das Nachster Mal'/Maybe next time but for true neoclassical you should check blackmore 11 minute instrumental 'difficult to cure live 1984' with japanese philharmonic orchestra :D
Hi Guys, Richie Blackmore was the very 1st rock guitarist I really heard when a friend got the albUm "Fireball" by Deep Purple for his birthday and played the entire album with me there. I had never heard anything like it. Richie was amazing on that album and is still one of my Deep Purple favourite studio albums. I followed Deep Purple from then on, and when Richie formed Rainbow I never knew about it ... until browsing through the vinyl records in a store. I saw "Rainbow Rising" and immediately bought it. I never knew there was another > Debut album. It was a while before that one was seen in the record rack. It's a much more laid back beautiful album with the now classic "Catch the Rainbow" ...Now there is a stunningly beautiful track ... and Dio is incredible ...and then he does it live and Omg ! Dio & Richie both on fire ! "Catch The Rainbow" will have you in tears. Richies playing is truly beautiful....Then along came Blackmore's Night...with his wife Candice Night on vocals....Richie used her on a Rainbow track "Ariel" [ Pronounced Ar ee ell and not Air ee ell ] from the album "Stranger in us all " It is also my favourite track. It is sooo good and to have Candice singing on the fade out works beautifully. I have all Blackmore's Night albums and 2 dvds of live concerts.Wonderful stuff. Last year they re-released "Shadows of the Moon" 25th Anniversary Edition remastered including remastered cover art and excellent packaging with 2 discs > 1 cd - 1 dvd. Their music videos are brilliant still today. Love this reaction and such a great choice of track. Byee Jim X
@@raiderfan346 Hi Raider ! Good to see you. I was lucky with friends who knew more than me at the time. I was a massive T.Rex fan and of course The Beatles and whatever was in the singles charts. My 1st album was The Moody Blues "For your children's children's children" aged 13 for my birthday, thanks to a friend who played me the album, but Deep Purple with Richie & Ian just blew me away. Love the album "Fireball" still I play loud on headphones all these decades later. Richie is still my favourite rock guitarist and Dave Gilmore a close 2nd. I saw Rainbow live with Dio twice and Pink Floyd Lapse of Reason tour. Hope you are are well to Raider. Cheers !!!
Hey Jim - I was at their place yesterday and Nick told me about this reaction. I actually told him they should listen to either Catch the Rainbow or Rainbow Eyes!!!! This is a sign.....
Awesome suggestion, Narvik! It's probably been 25 years since I've heard this piece. I used to have it on the Jealous Lover vinyl EP (and Finyl Vinyl ). Finyl Vinyl was a live album which included a couple of b-sides which didn't appear on any of Rainbow's regular releases (Bad Girl, Jealous Lover and Weiss Heim). The title initially seemed to indicate that Rainbow was over and Blackmore was moving on. Deep Purple Mark II reunited and toured, and eventually Blackmore left again and reformed Rainbow in the mid-nineties.
@@Pirates_of_the_Underground_Ihey Tony!! My messages are still getting deleted! I've responded a ton of times and they disappear. Reach out to Nick and Lex and they can give you my number for texting or my email.
I love it. I love Ritchie Blackmore, he's the best imo. And l loved the reaction from both of you & it was really cool to see Lex's first experience to Rainbow. Rainbow has a few instrumentals Nick. On the Difficult To Cure album there's two that you would love. Vielleicht Das Nachste Mal ( Maybe Next Time). And the title track Difficult To Cure ( Beethoven's Ninth). There's actually a live video of Rainbow doing this from Japan with a sympathy orchestra. There's two on Bent Out Of Shape album. Anybody There & Snowman. And on their first album Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, they do an instrumental cover of the Yardbirds Still I'm Sad. I seen Ritchie twice with Deep Purple, I think it's ten times with Rainbow & twice with Blackmore's Night. I'd love to see you & Lex react to Catch The Rainbow from the first album. It's with Dio on vocals & the song is just beautiful. It might bring Lex to tears again. Narvik, thank you for this request, it was awesome & Nick & Lex, thank you for the great reaction. Nick you should have Lex listen to Stargazer. And see might know Stone Cold & Since You Been Gone. They were pretty big hits, she just might not have known it was them. Thanks guys.
I think this track dates from 1979. It might have been the B-side of a single. I think Weiss Heim was the name of Ritchie's house in New York at the time but he's joked about his imperfect German. He didn't record many instrumentals, which I'm personally glad about, but the ones he did record are all very good. The live version of Difficult to Cure (Beethoven's 9th) from Finyl Vinyl is well worth listening to. It amazed me the first time I heard it.
This is a piece I've known since "Finyl Vinyl" was released which I bought on Lp. As you know Nick I'm a HUGE 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖇𝖔𝖜 fan, so I have a small collection that grows about each year or 2. All his instrumentals, that are few, are very soulful like this when you'd think he'd bust out like he did with Deep Purple or Live with 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖇𝖔𝖜 (either with "Dee-Oh", or Graham Bonnet, as he does for the 1st "Monsters of Rock" Festival at Castle Donington England 1980, which is what got me into Rainbow. Blackmore does an INSANE "sound effects solo" _into_ Beethoven's 9th, which he later does as a studio rendition). Finyl Vinyl is a compilation after Blackmore dissolved the band (he did 1 more about a decade later, but it just wasn't the same anymore), but I was disappointed that there wasn't more Dio & Bonnet Live, especially for the time it was printed, there wasn't much more Live material released on Lp of their years with the band, I had only seen a highly edited version of the Monsters of Rock concert on a local LA video/concert show called "Rock World", and that is when I became a very late Rainbow fan. "Don Airey" was the keyboardist for 2 albums, he joined Rainbow with Graham for "Down to Earth", and the following album (with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals). He, decades later replaced Jon Lord in Deep Purple after he passed on. To checkout more instrumentals: *Still I'm Sad* (a "Yardbird's" song without the lyrics, Blackmore arranges the song differently and more lively) The live version on "On Stage" and "Live in Munich 1977" are done with the lyrics and Dio giving it MUCH more life than the original, that is "25 minutes long", so a lot of jamming goes into that version. *Vielleicht Das Nächste Mal (Maybe Next Time)* which is a gorgeous track. *Difficult to Cure (Beethoven's 9th)* both are from the "Difficult to Cure" album. He also does it live with a Symphony in Tokyo. *Snowman* (which is a Classical Howard Blake piece _Walking in the Air_ that Blackmore arranges slightly different) The original piece was made more famous in the really beautiful animated Christmas special "The Snowman" (adapted from a wordless children's book with illustrations). In its second run, it was introduced by David Bowie. Blackmore's version is different but a gorgeous piece, the original "Walking in the Air" was performed by St Paul's Cathedral choirboy "Peter Auty" which is stunning. Nightwish with "Tarja" also did a version, and I believe with Floor Jensen. I get why Lexi got emotional, "Maybe Next Time" does that to me at times, Blackmore is a VERY expressive player along with the beautifully ferocious side that is let loose live back in his hey day. I think Blackmore has a style all his own, but he brings out the best in his Fender Stratocasters, he makes it HIS guitar, and he knows how to make it cry, weep and sound like a monster being let out of its cage! Thank you Narvik and welcome back. Very moving reaction guys! GO! . . . enjoy those CD's!!! :D I HOPE "Candice Night" reaches out to you guys! - From "Tony"/mvunit3 💕
J.S.Bach - The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1, BWV 846: I. Prelude and Fugue in C Major was the inspiration. They recorded it in Jan 1980 on a whim around playing a gig in Copenhagen and moving on to Hanover in Germany I can remember listening to this half a dozen times when I bought the single home back in February 1980
Lovin' this song forever. Great reaction !! Final Vinyl was an Anthology Collection, this was recorded in 81. Roger Glover on bass. Did you ever get a chance do hear the Blackmore Holiday CD I sent?
Best Rainbow guitar intrumental is surely their cover of the Yardbirds song from the 60's, Still I'm Sad from their first album, Ritchie on fire on that one. You might like The Bevis Frond from the album Triptych - Into The Cryptic Mist and from the Auntie Winnie album Malvolios Dream Journey To Pikes, pyschedelic guitar heaven. And if you really dig heavy psychedelic guitar jams then Earthless will blow your mind, Night Of The One Hundred Demons 😶🌫
Rainbow "On Stage" and "Live in Munich 1977" they do the song with lyrics, and Dio sings it better than the original (imo), and it has MUCH more energy too!
Blackmore has so many majestic instrumentals …take the next step and give the instrumental Son of Alerik a listen with Deep Purple … you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED …this is at another level
If memory serves me well, after hearing Stargazer & A light in the Black from Rainbow Rising, Nick, you played them to Lex. Unfortunately she seemed to find both tracks one after the other a bit much. So, although she didn't fully appreciate the tracks she heard, Lex has heard some Rainbow (probably at their best) before. Not a criticism guys, just a friendly reminder, love & light from The UK, Dave.
I hope she will give them another chance because each year she grows by leaps and bounds from where her ears were before. They have the 1st 6 albums from Rainbow, so one day they'll break them out (and someone bought them "Straight Between the Eyes" on Lp).
@@Stefan- Finyl Vinyl was a live album, but Down to Earth was the only album featuring Graham Bonnet. Weiss Heim is a B-song off the All Night Long single which was on Down to Earth.
@@narvik9035 Yes, but now you contradict yourself, since you in your first post indicated that Finyl vinyl was the only album that Graham Bonnet sang on since they reacted to the song from that album, thats why i originally answered your post. BTW I have the vinyl version of the Finyl vinyl album that i bought around the time it came out.
@@Stefan- I was talking about Down to Earth. Weiss heim was originally released on the Down to Earth album as a B-song on the All Night Long single. The 2011 edition includes this song on the album itself. Finyl Vinyl was a live album.
@@narvik9035 Yes, i know that Finyl vinyl was mainly a live album, i should know ive had it since the 80´s as well as Down to earth and mainly the Dio ones all on Vinyl, but again your original comment was for this video which was about Finyl vinyl and not about Down to earth and your comment didnt mention any other album.
All night long bside. Don Airey on keyboard. Ritchie has several other instrumentals .. still in sad, anybody there, snowman, maybe next time, difficult to cure Beethoven's ninth..
C'mon Narvik. You didn't request the live version. WTF. Maybe Nick will do the live version, now that he's heard the studio version. RAINBOW ON STAGE LIVE. One of my all time favorite live albums. Behind STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT by UFO.
Maybe the most beautiful melody Mr Blackmore ever composed 🤔 too bad it wasn't on the album back then, only a b-side of a single. I'll look for this Fynyl Vynyl 🤘 Sometimes I "hate" to be a smartass : you reacted to the whole Rainbow Rising album years ago for your patreons 🤘

Little tidbit for you FM stations did not care for deep purple or rainbow because this band was like no other band they didn't like the critics they didn't like FM DJs they didn't care if you like them or not they just love playing music Ritchie Blackmore didn't care if you like them or not he wasn't in it for that

Many can play fast and sophisticated but very few can play with the feel of Blackmore , very unique guitarist, no one is like in the world
Weiss Heim is food for your soul. I've been listening to Ritchie Blackmore since I was a child, and I'm turning 55 this year. Great video.
Only Ritchie Blackmore and Jeff Beck can give you Goosebumps with one single lick that's when you know they're playing from their soul
Ritchie is the most unsung hero of the electric guitar. There has never been anyone to touch him.

Blackmore's Night is acoustic and very Renaissance era oriented (they even dress that way on stage). Saw them a few years ago pre-Covid.

Still I'm Sad is amazing - especially the version from On Stage.
Rainbow "On Stage" and "Live in Munich 1977" they do the song with lyrics, and Dio sings it better than the original (imo), and it has MUCH more energy too!
Blackmore has so many majestic instrumentals …take the next step and give the instrumental Son of Alerik a listen with Deep Purple … you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED …this is at another level
Amazing how music without words can move you. I feel sorry for peeps that don't get it.
Next! Live performance at Tokyo's Budokan 1984! Blackmore's tribute to Beethoven!
Trivia - consider the timeline, Jason Becker was 10 years old when Blackmore recorded this tune ….
Great reaction! King Richard 🤘🤘🤘🤘
It was funny when you said this is the longest intro on planet earth. ALL of your intros go on at great length. ;)
If memory serves me well, after hearing Stargazer & A light in the Black from Rainbow Rising, Nick, you played them to Lex. Unfortunately she seemed to find both tracks one after the other a bit much. So, although she didn't fully appreciate the tracks she heard, Lex has heard some Rainbow (probably at their best) before. Not a criticism guys, just a friendly reminder, love & light from The UK, Dave.
I hope she will give them another chance because each year she grows by leaps and bounds from where her ears were before. They have the 1st 6 albums from Rainbow, so one day they'll break them out (and someone bought them "Straight Between the Eyes" on Lp).
This album was the only with Graham Bonnet on vocals.
No he did the album Down to earth.
@@Stefan- Finyl Vinyl was a live album, but Down to Earth was the only album featuring Graham Bonnet. Weiss Heim is a B-song off the All Night Long single which was on Down to Earth.
@@narvik9035 Yes, but now you contradict yourself, since you in your first post indicated that Finyl vinyl was the only album that Graham Bonnet sang on since they reacted to the song from that album, thats why i originally answered your post. BTW I have the vinyl version of the Finyl vinyl album that i bought around the time it came out.
@@Stefan- I was talking about Down to Earth. Weiss heim was originally released on the Down to Earth album as a B-song on the All Night Long single. The 2011 edition includes this song on the album itself. Finyl Vinyl was a live album.
@@narvik9035 Yes, i know that Finyl vinyl was mainly a live album, i should know ive had it since the 80´s as well as Down to earth and mainly the Dio ones all on Vinyl, but again your original comment was for this video which was about Finyl vinyl and not about Down to earth and your comment didnt mention any other album.
Listen to the Snowman by Rainbow, it has a similar feel to this.

Ritchie Blackmore top 3 guitarist in his day.
Have a listen to Rainbows Snowman.
Stargazer is their best song off their best album. The classic lineup with Dio and Powell.
All night long bside. Don Airey on keyboard. Ritchie has several other instrumentals .. still in sad, anybody there, snowman, maybe next time, difficult to cure Beethoven's ninth..
C'mon Narvik. You didn't request the live version. WTF. Maybe Nick will do the live version, now that he's heard the studio version. RAINBOW ON STAGE LIVE. One of my all time favorite live albums. Behind STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT by UFO.
Maybe the most beautiful melody Mr Blackmore ever composed 🤔 too bad it wasn't on the album back then, only a b-side of a single. I'll look for this Fynyl Vynyl 🤘
Sometimes I "hate" to be a smartass : you reacted to the whole Rainbow Rising album years ago for your patreons 🤘
Choose from these? Solder of fortune, Temple of the king, Catc the rainbow, Rainbow eyes, Mistreated , Maybe next time (tribute to John Lord) ....
I guess this inspired Eddie Van Halen to create "Respect The Wind"
'My God...Jesus Lord...Holy Moly'. What else is there to say?
Definitely 'Deeee-Oh'
Veilecht das nachster zeit .maybe next time
Weissheim is a place in Austria.
Apparently Blackmore had a home that he adored (possibly in Germany near Munich) and was known to him and his German ex-wife as "The White house".
Thanks for introducing this to N&L. ONe of my fave tracks from Rainbow and Ritchie :). Look forward to more of your marathons and tracks again \m/.
Rainbow best line up with Dio on vocal epic. With Bonnet and Turner good album but much radio friendly.

Tell me you did not shed a tear as Blackmore plays this emotional tribute live, upon the passing of his dear friend Jon Lord ruclips.net/video/Tgsmajy14ZI/видео.html
You're right, it does sound oriental. Maybe should've had an oriental title.
Blackmore siendo Blackmore, asi de simple.
💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷👍
Little tidbit for you FM stations did not care for deep purple or rainbow because this band was like no other band they didn't like the critics they didn't like FM DJs they didn't care if you like them or not they just love playing music Ritchie Blackmore didn't care if you like them or not he wasn't in it for that
Sigan con el indio x fa
