The seeds of this tune comes from Blackmore and his snake charmer scale from Mandrake Root in 1968 and can be heard in many live performances in the 60s and 70s ....saying Stargazer sounds like Kashmir is like saying all Middle Eastern music sounds like Kashmir .....
Kasmir can’t touch this and all its musicality ever. Blackmore is his own influence and his ability is second to none. Absolutely genius in composition and guitar playing.
Esto no es música es un milagro, estas dos canciones conforman un dueto tan inmenso, descomunal, intenso, emotivo, lleno de fuerza y virtuosismo como muy pocas en la historia del rock. Saludos
I would say Blackmore's guitar sound on Stargazer is more a mystical, Middle Eastern sound. As far as who came first, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin came out around the same time. Both Blackmore and Jimmy Page are great in their own ways. Each has their own style. Page is more blues rock and Blackmore is more classical hard rock. You can even throw medieval in the mix. Rainbows Rising album was a landmark and game changer in hard rock and metal music. Blackmore is one of the best and most influential guitarists ever. Thanks, 🙏
The very beginning of the song you played was Tarot Woman, where the drum solo starts is the beginning of Stargazer(on the Album Rising). Ritchie Blackmore discussed making a song as impressive as Kashmir with John Bonham, Stargazer was the result.
Together, this is Rainbow's masterpiece. The line up of Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Cozy Powell, Jimmy Bain and Tony Carey was never bettered. Jimmy Bain never really got any recognition for his backing vocals but if you listen ( left ear ) he is superb! Have you heard Gates of Babylon or Lady of the lake? They are stunning! Incidentally, Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore worked extensively together in the 60s as session guys so therefore shared many ideas including the Middle Eastern / Arabic vibe.
We did Lady Of The Lake on a Live Stream. Since those are all blocked, and we have even forgotten what the song sounds like now, we'll do it again for you guys.
It's arguable, of course, but I think everybody involved in these two tracks was at their absolute peak at this time. I don't think they ever bettered these performances or recordings. For me, the best side of vinyl ever released. For a live performance by Rainbow, I think Catch the Rainbow and Sixteenth Century Greensleeves from the Munich concert in 1977 are the ones to go to.
Not exactly, yes he composed the song but was a result of Kashmir, he even said so in an interview. He wanted the song to be more impressive since Kashmir was a huge success.
Stargazer was Rainbow's answer to Kashmir. I think Stargazer is one of the greatest songs recorded. You really should react to a live video of Rainbow, it really showcases their talent. The Munich 1977 concert has some great videos on TH-cam. The songs "Mistreated", "Catch the Rainbow", "Man on the Silver Mountain" and "16th Century Greensleeves" really stand out.
Folks, this is a weird edit you listened to. The first minute or so is the 1st section of “ Tarot Woman” , the opening track from “ Rainbow Rising”. Stargazer and Light in the Black are on the same album, but Stargazer doesn’t start with keyboards, it opens with a drum full
That's one of my Christmas mugs. The kids take turns buying me a mug with something crazy on the sides. I keep breaking them, so they keep replacing them. I like these latest ones a lot, though. I'll try to be careful with them. LOL
So glad to find a reaction to the two tracks together, as they should be heard. Pity that you had some glitch in the intro to Stargazer because that's not how it starts.
@@hanierfamily Jimmy Bain who is bass and backing vocals here played with the Dio band for quite a few years. Jimmy was on the first four Dio albums and then two others later on. Jimmy's own demons caused him to leave but their friendship was unbreakable
@@SPKdesign1 Gillan did indeed. The album was excellent but unfortunately, live it just didn't work. Ian Gillan freely admitted it was a disaster on stage
It is banality to always mention LZ😫. Why you Americans got so much love about this band? It is so regular bluesy americanish music. DP or Rainbow were more interesting in terms of music, only problem is that you know less about these music.
@@hanierfamily People tend to compare them with LZ and Kashmir as soon as Blackmore's solo starts. But the fact is that Kashmir only has a repetitive riff, and a very short, and also repetitive, "solo" at the end of the song together with Jonesy's Mellotron. Blackmore's solo in this song is one of the most brilliant and heart piercing solos ever, but many lose focus and miss out on it because of this compare nonsense.

Absolutely correct!

He is truly great.
Light in the black contains the most vicious guitar solo ever recorded wow! Geniuses!!!
So glad you did these songs and back to back also. Love your channel!!!

Para mi el mejor grupo de la historia

When Rob Halford was asked who is the greatest ever Male Metal vocalist. Rob Halford said Ronnie James Dio. I 100 percent agree with Rob Halford.
It's arguable, of course, but I think everybody involved in these two tracks was at their absolute peak at this time. I don't think they ever bettered these performances or recordings. For me, the best side of vinyl ever released. For a live performance by Rainbow, I think Catch the Rainbow and Sixteenth Century Greensleeves from the Munich concert in 1977 are the ones to go to.
The ultimate line up
Love the background keyboard work which brings a strong middle Eastern vibe ( echoed at times in the guitar solo) in Stargazer.
Pretty sure Blackmore's influences would have been prior to Jimmy Page so his brilliance and his creations are down to him alone
Not exactly, yes he composed the song but was a result of Kashmir, he even said so in an interview. He wanted the song to be more impressive since Kashmir was a huge success.
Cozy Powell Best Drummer in my Opinion... Ever

I absolutely agree. Rainbow live in the 70s was incredible and the On stage album is insanely great!
We did the studio version of Catch The Rainbow. We'll probably be doing revisits in the near future. A lot of the audience request alternates.
Blackmore and page were not influenced by each other..they started roughly the same time in the early 60’s as session musicians.
@@ponytrekker8996 I disagree. They knew each other well and were in the same circle
@@colrhodes377 yes, I know, but they have totally two different styles .

We'll have to do a revisit. We have a few songs where people noted mistakes like this.

Great Artwork on that Album Cover Huh? Lol i More and Much to See and Teach the Unknowingly Souls ❤ Love Light 🚨 and Laughter All are Welcome ❤
Rainbow is the Bridge Between Two 🌍 Worlds and the Universe ❤
And that's how Epic Power Metal was born

Light in the black = the influence of 80s heavy metal. and crazy solo from Richie
*A* Light In The Black.
Led Zeppelin & Deep Purple came first and then Blackmore moved onto Rainbow for a bit.
Dio also fronted Black Sabbath for a while after this.
Not to mention Dio's solo period. We have respect for Dio's ability and his history. We wish We'd known more, frankly.
@@hanierfamily I'm pretty sure Ian Gillan (Deep Purple & Ian Gillan Band) also fronted Black Sabbath for a bit.

RIP Ronnie James Dio
welcome to the greatest rock metal voice there ever was and will be Ronnie James Dio
GO COZY !!
Tony Carey on Keyboard is fantastic on this album !
Still I'm Sad....
Interesting to note, these 2 songs, Ronnie was not fond of. He referred to them as narcissistic clap trap for Blackmore and Powell
Same Era Love Led Zeppelin to
I was never a big Dio fan but I did like him fronting Rainbow.
We're really enjoying Rainbow quite a bit.

We are Canadian and we were, until recently, unfamiliar with this band.
@hanierfamily well it is pretty same for Canada too.

No, stop saying Led Zeppelin like! Stargazer is WAY better than Kashmir, sorry, but it's true.
That would be a matter of opinion.
