Greatest rock singer and the-best-guitarist-in-the-world on the same stage. Cozy Powell (RIP) on drums... one of the best. That was a supergroup in all but name.
Blackmore is wearing the same clothes He wore 3 nights earlier. He had just gotten out of an Austrian jail For breaking a security guard's jaw with his foot. This was going to be a big concert and filmed in Germany. Didn't start until 12:30 AM everybody waited they knew Blackmore was driving from Austria. He still blew their socks off. Definitely one of the best guitarists to ever walk this planet.
Ritchie Blackmore is my favorite guitarist. You probably didn't pick on Dio's intro where he was saying something about song being originally from "the name escapes me" which is in reference to the song being originally on Blackmore's previous band Deep Purple's Burn album. Blackmore left Deep Purple and used Dio and his band Elf on Blackmore's first album before firing everyone except Dio. BTW, the drummer here is the late, great Cozy Powell.
Dio was being snippy cause Blackmore wrote the song with Coverdale, much as I admire Dio's singing I still think that DP's live version on Made In Europe is better.
What is Deep Purple going to do, sue their own guitarist for stealing the song he wrote? This is peak pettiness and I love it. Also I would poach Dio from his own band 11/10 times
i saw many legendary strat players from Clapton , Beck , Kenny Wayne Sheperd and more fender guys but Ritchie here teach how to start and finish a performance ! DIO+RITCHIE = MONSTERS ( RIP RONNIE ) .
My favorite performance ..... and the same Munich concert the song "Catch the Rainbow" is basically as good. Ritchie's guitar solo is so frick'n good in that song.
I prefer Tony Carey on keys over David Stone (who I thought was the weakest of all the keyboardists of Rainbow)...but, yeah, Powell, Dio & Blackmore are inconquerable.
Completely disagree with you on the line-up. The previous years line up with Tony Carey (keys) and Jimmy Bain (bass) was FAR superior! Just compare this version of this song to the one from "ON STAGE" for the undeniable truth 😁👍🏽
A lot of legends on that stage. Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore, Cozy Powell and Bob Daisley, David Stone did a good job on the keyboards as well. Rock in peace Ronnie and Cozy.
Same here,Sydney Hordern Pavilion- so good went the next night too, couldn’t do that today, tickets were so cheap for the best performance I’ve ever seen
This is one of the best bands ever put together . you got Blackmore (one of the all time best guitarist in history), Dio (one of the best singers in history) Cozy Powell(one of the best drummers in Rock) what more can you ask for . good god I miss those days! RIP Cozy and Ronnie. your music will go listened to in all eternity.
What a powerhouse band, talent for days all over the stage. Plus the unpredictable Blackmore factor that drew a lot of people to Rainbow shows so they could watch Ritchie.
I've been a Dio fan for a long time, I remember him with Elf! I live in Central NY in the town where he grew up and started out in bands. He's still remembered with reverence here. We miss ya, Ronnie! \m/
Imagine someone would have told me when I was 14 that this is going to be appriciated 46 years in the future, mindblowing. I attended to this live in -77 in Gothenburg Sweden .... And it still works
If you enjoyed this you need to listen to two more Rainbow tracks. Stargazer from the Rainbow Rising album and Gates of Babylon from Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll. Both absolute killers.
I was at very last Rainbow live show with Ronnie James Dio as vocalist. It was at the Palladium in New York City and they opened with Kill the King and then did Mistreated which was an extended song live and included what some accounts say is a song called Blues but I just count it as an extended Mistreated. Anyway, after the song Ronnie apologized and said they could not continue like this the band left and the show was over. I've read a couple different accounts on why they cut the show short. In conclusion their next show was cancelled and then Dio would leave Rainbow before the next tour. The two songs I saw were great, especially Mistreated where Blackmore was incredible on guitar.
David is the original and the one filled with tons of raw blues emotion. Dio's version is alot more theatrical, and he uses his technical expertise magnificent. I love both versions as they are so different and from 2 of my favorite vocalists. The common denominator..again. is Ritchie. A tough man to deal with, I'm sure. But when inspired must be one of the greatest musicians ever to work with.
@@jasperdevries1726 just my opinion...given the members who had played with Rainbow. All would go on to be fairly famous, if not legendary. Listing all of the different bands those guys ended up playing in during their careers reads like a "who's who" of music. The word "supergroup" wasn't even penned and used until decades later. I used it simply as a euphemism, and to give a bit of context...not as a "slight" toward any other bands or artists.
No , both great . David version is heavier and darker . More bottom and gravel , raw . Dio had similar techniques in some ways but another register . However he s more classical here.. In ELF he was more comparable to David in that sense . Songs like Love me like a woman . It would be great if in that stuff Dio & Coverdale did a duo ... But Tenors can't equal Coverdale completly , they lack of that darkness bottom to it . Dio and Halford had more of that as they were older , around 40 , 45 , 50's... when they kind of crossed the line towards a more baritonish register. Also Dio had 35 here . So more developped in his command , as you know, he was a professional since 1958 . So in 1977 , he had like around 19 , 20 years of career right ? David was 23 or even 22 depending moment of the year in 1974 , just was hired by DP the year before , playing in bar bands . But when he started to devellop and mature in stormbringer tour 1975 , and Come taste the band in 1976 , his tone is warmer and open and his range , high range that he always had , increased in Power and range too . Its blue print whitesnake . Then in 1977 / 1978 /1979 ... In early whitesnake i don't think Coverdale is blew out of the water by Dio .
Am I the only guitarist that knows that RB is playing through that old reel to reel as part of his tone? No, he was not the only guy to do it but, rare. My uncle had one of those when I first started playing. I discovered it had a guitar and or mic input. A kid with his 1st electric guitar but, no amp. Those things were awesome!!
This is Ritchie Blackmore’s rainbow One of the co-founders of deep purple..mistreated is a deep purple song written by Ritchie Blackmore & David Coverdale.. and I also had the pleasure of seeing a show from this tour in 1977..on Long Island I was 15.great times.
This concert nearly didn’t happen. The night before, Rainbow played in Austria. Ritchie saw a bouncer abusing somebody in the crowd and walked tothe end of the stage and kicked thebouncer in the head, breaking his jaw. Ritchie wasarrested after the show and spent the night and the next day in jail. He arrived at the Munich concert 3 hours late, but the crowd waited for him.
Late great Ronnie James Dio!! Melody Cristea of Liliac's idol. She uses his mannerism when she sings on stage not to mention her voice is his style she like to emulate.. Ronnie's widow calls her Melodio. Liliac just released music video cover of Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You" ENJOY!!!!!
Blackmore GUITAR GENIOUS plus Sir RJDio and the amazing Cozy Powell !! For all these great singers there's a line .. before playing with Blackmore and after playing with Blackmore .. like Coverdale said it's like going to the Music University ! Long Live Blackmore Dio Powell .. RAINBOW
We certainly were spoiled in the 1970s All genres of music! Glad for TH-cam to re-live some of it! Keep digging guys. LOTS of great stuff from Back-In-The-Day!
Fun fact: this performance was done way early after midnight. Due to the fact that mere hours before Ritchie Blackmore was in an Austrian jail after an incident with a security guard at the gig who hit a female fan . Blackmore was in jail for 2 days and was released and they rushed to this show in Munich which was being filmed for a concert program.
You two are fast becoming my fave reaction channel..sir, you have spot on insight to every video you watch and that sweetheart on your left is just cute as a button..rock on!.
Yes, you should also check out the original version with Deep Purple and David Coverdale on vocals. Dio is my favourite singer in the genre, but Coverdale is not halv bad. The only problem with the California Jam recording is that Glenn Hughes is stoned out of his mind and unfortunately decides to screech the song to pieces in the end. But Coverdale is impressing, especially considering his age!
Along with Dio you are listening to the great Ritchie Blackmore(Deep Purple) and the great Cozy Powell on Drums( Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Whitesnake) and every other band that needed a great drummer!
Coverdale’s vocal is great in the original and in concert. But he looks nervous on stage,, maybe because he’s new in the band and didn’t want to piss Blackmore off. Dio just owns the song and stage.
@thewolfhunterz if you think this is good you GOTTA watch this song from 1974 with david coverdale singing... it's the 1 time DIO is blown out of the water.... its absolutely sick
Three things come to mind: 1. It cannot be overemphasized how influential Dio was. From the early 70s with Elf over Rainbow, Black Sabbath and his own act Dio in the 80s, back to Black Sabbath ( now called Heaven and Hell ) in the naughts always performing and always laying down the law all the way to his death. He was and will remain an absolute icon for hundreds of thousands of fans, thousands of rock and metal singers and one of the few along with Jon Lord of Deep Purple who actually earned a musical memorial service with some of the biggest contemporary rock singers and -musicians attending and performing. 2. There´s a story going round: When Hitler died and went to Hell Satan asked him: " What have you accomplished to deserve a place at my side?" Hitler answered: I plunged the entire world into war, turned Genocide into an art form and caused 50 million people to die!" Satan: " Very good,- you can come sit here at my right side." Saddam Hussein was executed and went to hell. Satan asked him: " What have you accomplish to deserve a place at my side?" Saddam answered: "I weeded out and executed every political opponent, I instigated ethnic cleansing and killed off 400 thousand of my own people and waged a 10 years long war on my neighbouring country using children to clear minefields as living soon to be dead mine sweepers! " Satan: " Very good,- you can come sit here at my left side." Ronnie James Dio died and went to hell. Satan asked him: " What have you accomplished to deserve a place at my side?" Dio looked at him and said: "Bitch!,- why are you sitting on my throne?" 2. How about checking out some David Coverdale; Ian Gillan and Glenn Hughes? ( Deep Puple, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath,Ian Gillan Band - solo projects,- tons of material ) Coverdale a lyrical barytone with a huge bottom end and a full masculine timbre to his voice,- Gillan a high operatic tenor with one THE most famous screams in the entire music world and Hughes a high tenor who sounds like he can belt out notes higher than a coloratura soprano.
Great reaction as always. This is an amazing performance indeed, but i still prefer the original Deep Purple version live at California Jam 74. Dio sings it amazing, but Coverdale and Hughes put so much emotion on the song that it's brilliant, you should give it a go, because it's one of the most amazing live performances ever. Keed up the good work. PS. missing Iron Maiden reactions :)
Trust me, kiddies. This is just a taste of musicians from that era. No pro tools, no auto tuners, and no fake vocals with auto pitch. I can go on and on. Why do you think bands like Metallica idolized this band and Black Sabbath and also loved a Diamond Head? Dio is God's vocals. Blackmore is God, and Cozy Powell on drums are aces in rock.
Love some Dio on vocals but always loved Graham Bonnet when he sang for Rainbow. Such good pipes on All Night Long & Since You've Been Gone, and as for that white suit and aviator glasses! 😎
0'20" Beautiful Smile 🦋 ! Ciao Sir Travis . Bruce Dickinson i think payed some tributes also to him ! Anyway i don't know even if in 1977 knew him because of Iron Maiden's heavy britain Influences and growing very distant where Ronnie was becoming celeb ! But during lives the charisma of Ronnie was incredible also in the Early Days ! The introduction and playing really outstanding . The fills on the Toms and especially the work on guitar with those effects for that time is pretty innovative i think . Obviously i can do some random parallels with Led Zeppelin (in a certain way) ! Listen around 6'26" ! Do you think good electric sound for that Era ? And around 6'36" ! What a Musician ! 7'55" Nnailed it Sir Trraa' ! The transition and some part even switching towards progressive are Coool ! 13'03" Nnnnailed it Suzii 🙋♂️
Check out Deep Purple s version too...and Whitesnake live in the hearth of the city version..Great all three versions.. its written by Blackmore an d Coverdale

RjD great singer better person.
I met Ronnie James Dio in 1997 , he was so cool. Such a nice guy.

Dios vocals just take this song to another level, I love Coverdales version. But Dio is so ferocious, he’s a force of nature.
The Almighty Lord Ronnie James Dio... eternally missed tremendously!
Dio literally reentered orbit from outer space at 09:23…. What a man, what a voice!😮🤩
i saw many legendary strat players from Clapton , Beck , Kenny Wayne Sheperd and more fender guys but Ritchie here teach how to start and finish a performance !

What a performance. Ronnie James Dio will always be missed.
R.I.P. COZY POWELL,one of the BEST Rock Drummers in Music History!
Watch the whole Live in Munich 1977 video/album. its stunning. one of the very best live performances ever. Ronnie is a legend.
This was THE lineup for Rainbow. Cozy Powell is one great drummer, and Dio and Blackmore.
I prefer Tony Carey on keys over David Stone (who I thought was the weakest of all the keyboardists of Rainbow)...but, yeah, Powell, Dio & Blackmore are inconquerable.

Can’t believe you haven’t watched deep purple child in time live 1970 yet...perhaps the most epic live recording ever!
@Zoey The Savannah yep, they’ll wake up sometime :)
Made In Japan is better, just no video.
Blackmore, Dio and Cozy - what a legendary combination.
RAINBOW LIVE is one of my all time favorite live albums due in large part to this song.
I was stationed in Germany in 70s and was present at this concert
The Man in Black
A lot of legends on that stage. Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore, Cozy Powell and Bob Daisley, David Stone did a good job on the keyboards as well. Rock in peace Ronnie and Cozy.
Everytime i Watch thos Video it makes my day simply amazing
A classic that Never gets old! RJD rules, so missed and loved. There Will never be another Ronnie
When this concert was aired on german TV I was 6 years old.1977 I watched it
I saw the Rainbow Rising tour in '76. It was the loudest concert I ever went to.
Same here,Sydney Hordern Pavilion- so good went the next night too, couldn’t do that today, tickets were so cheap for the best performance I’ve ever seen
Yes I also seen them live that year great show for sure 🔥💯🤘🤘🤘🌹💯☮️♾️🥇⚡💫🥰😘💘
Lucky enough to see them a couple of times. Great, great live band.

It’s one of the best vocal performances of all time . Get the live album “On Stage” by Rainbow
Cozy Powell on drums ... legendary - RIP
Still I’m Sad, RIP Cozy
As great as Ronnie was, the definitive version of this song is Deep Purple's version with David Coverdale, from 1974. California Jam.
David is the original and the one filled with tons of raw blues emotion. Dio's version is alot more theatrical, and he uses his technical expertise magnificent. I love both versions as they are so different and from 2 of my favorite vocalists. The common denominator..again. is Ritchie. A tough man to deal with, I'm sure.

The man in black, ritchie rules. Dio i miss u
Old style power blues .
For all the power in his voice . He makes it look effortless
Amazing
This was also on the Burn album by Deep Purple
It's Ronnie James Dio on vocals Ritchie Blackmore on guitar Cozy Powell on drums Jimmy Bain on bass it's the legendary Rainbow
Jimmy Bain wasn't in this concert.... that was Bob Daisley. Such a great line up.

Whitesnake's David Coverdale sang the song originally when he was in Deep Purple, but Ronnie's version blows David's vocal out of the water!
No , both great .
David version is heavier and darker .
More bottom and gravel , raw .
Dio had similar techniques in some ways but another register . However he s more classical here..
In ELF he was more comparable to David in that sense .
Songs like Love me like a woman .
It would be great if in that stuff Dio & Coverdale did a duo ...
But Tenors can't equal Coverdale completly , they lack of that darkness bottom to it .
Dio and Halford had more of that as they were older , around 40 , 45 , 50's... when they kind of crossed the line towards a more baritonish register.
Also Dio had 35 here . So more developped in his command , as you know, he was a professional since 1958 .
So in 1977 , he had like around 19 , 20 years of career right ?
David was 23 or even 22 depending moment of the year in 1974 , just was hired by DP the year before , playing in bar bands .
But when he started to devellop and mature in stormbringer tour 1975 , and Come taste the band in 1976 , his tone is warmer and open and his range , high range that he always had , increased in Power and range too . Its blue print whitesnake .
Then in 1977 / 1978 /1979 ...
In early whitesnake i don't think Coverdale is blew out of the water by Dio .
Pls check catch the rainbow live Munich 1977 ( same concert )
Am I the only guitarist that knows that RB is playing through that old reel to reel as part of his tone? No, he was not the only guy to do it but, rare. My uncle had one of those when I first started playing. I discovered it had a guitar and or mic input. A kid with his 1st electric guitar but, no amp. Those things were awesome!!
I believe that is how he got that awesome delay!
Grandiosa interpretación...guau. máravilloso cantante y máravilloso grupo. Únicos... simplemente máravillosos. Ronnie James DIO... grandioso
Dio is greatness...I was lucky enough to be able to see him live twice back in '85 and '87.
And yes Dio is the Godfather of METAL, and this is Blackmore's band, it is known as "Richie Blackmore's Rainbow"
This is Ritchie Blackmore’s rainbow One of the co-founders of deep purple..mistreated is a deep purple song written by Ritchie Blackmore & David Coverdale.. and I also had the pleasure of seeing a show from this tour in 1977..on Long Island I was 15.great times.

You should react to
Dio : rainbow in the dark 😍
But what to say about on of the best gituarists that the world has ever seen .....Ritchie Blackmore...
IMO this is one of Dio's best vocal performances (I do love the stuff w/Sabbath but this just stands out). Thanks for the video.
Yes, you should also check out the original version with Deep Purple and David Coverdale on vocals. Dio is my favourite singer in the genre, but Coverdale is not halv bad. The only problem with the California Jam recording is that Glenn Hughes is stoned out of his mind and unfortunately decides to screech the song to pieces in the end.

I love Coverdales version too but Dio is another level with his style
Guau...guau. Que cantante, que guitarrista y que grupo tan maravilloso. Guau...Ronnie James Dio...lo máximo.
Absolute anthem this is. Top top notch music.
@thewolfhunterz if you think this is good you GOTTA watch this song from 1974 with david coverdale singing... it's the 1 time DIO is blown out of the water.... its absolutely sick
Not even close to comparing to this version of Dio, mainly in technical terms, this version is much superior.
Dip simply amazing
Deep Purple, Rainbow, Blackmore's Night, what do they have in common 🎸🎼?
The beatific smile of Blackmore
Three things come to mind:
1. It cannot be overemphasized how influential Dio was.
From the early 70s with Elf over Rainbow, Black Sabbath and his own act Dio in the 80s, back to Black Sabbath
( now called Heaven and Hell ) in the naughts always performing and always laying down the law all the way to his death.
He was and will remain an absolute icon for hundreds of thousands of fans, thousands of rock and metal singers and one of the few along with Jon Lord of Deep Purple who actually earned a musical memorial service with some of the biggest contemporary rock singers and -musicians attending and performing.
2. There´s a story going round:
When Hitler died and went to Hell Satan asked him: " What have you accomplished to deserve a place at my side?"
Hitler answered: I plunged the entire world into war, turned Genocide into an art form and caused 50 million people to die!"
Satan: " Very good,- you can come sit here at my right side."
Saddam Hussein was executed and went to hell.
Satan asked him: " What have you accomplish to deserve a place at my side?"
Saddam answered: "I weeded out and executed every political opponent, I instigated ethnic cleansing and killed off 400 thousand of my own people and waged a 10 years long war on my neighbouring country using children to clear minefields as living soon to be dead mine sweepers! "
Satan: " Very good,- you can come sit here at my left side."
Ronnie James Dio died and went to hell.
Satan asked him: " What have you accomplished to deserve a place at my side?"
Dio looked at him and said: "Bitch!,- why are you sitting on my throne?"
2. How about checking out some David Coverdale; Ian Gillan and Glenn Hughes? ( Deep Puple, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath,Ian Gillan Band - solo projects,- tons of material )
Coverdale a lyrical barytone with a huge bottom end and a full masculine timbre to his voice,- Gillan a high operatic tenor with one THE most famous screams in the entire music world and Hughes a high tenor who sounds like he can belt out notes higher than a coloratura soprano.
You should react to this song with its original singer too. Deep purple mistreated live at the California jam 1974
Coverdale finish the song screaming like a girl , Dio was More strong .
Ritchie Blackmore is his name…..
Great reaction as always.
This is an amazing performance indeed, but i still prefer the original Deep Purple version live at California Jam 74. Dio sings it amazing, but Coverdale and Hughes put so much emotion on the song that it's brilliant, you should give it a go, because it's one of the most amazing live performances ever. Keed up the good work. PS. missing Iron Maiden reactions :)
Yes, they are both powerful performances, I really can't pick between them.
Prefer Dio version, hands down.
Top3 song of all time in this universe.
Please do Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain from the same show
And one of the greatest guitarist on Earth, Ritchie Black ore from Deep Purple and Rainbow. And this is actually a Deep Purple song.
So good....🤗
Trust me, kiddies. This is just a taste of musicians from that era. No pro tools, no auto tuners, and no fake vocals with auto pitch. I can go on and on. Why do you think bands like Metallica idolized this band and Black Sabbath and also loved a Diamond Head? Dio is God's vocals. Blackmore is God, and Cozy Powell on drums are aces in rock.
RAINBOW with the mighty Ronnie James Dio on vocals, sounds like the thunder on the horizon announcing the storm coming ahead.

Deep purple with Ian Gillian on vocals is the bomb!
Love some Dio on vocals but always loved Graham Bonnet when he sang for Rainbow. Such good pipes on All Night Long & Since You've Been Gone, and as for that white suit and aviator glasses! 😎
Guys, are you aware of how the gitarrist you're watching are? Dio is a God..but so is Ritchie Blackmore!
Richie Blackmore was driven from jail in Austria straight here.
Rainbow - since you been gone 🤘
Ronnie James Dio 🥰🤘🏻❤️🔥 my favorite singer, can't actually explain the love I have for that man...my God! 😍
"Child In Time"(1970) by Deep Purple, next
0'20" Beautiful Smile 🦋 ! Ciao Sir Travis . Bruce Dickinson i think payed some tributes also to him ! Anyway i don't know even if in 1977 knew him because of Iron Maiden's heavy britain Influences and growing very distant where Ronnie was becoming celeb ! But during lives the charisma of Ronnie was incredible also in the Early Days ! The introduction and playing really outstanding . The fills on the Toms and especially the work on guitar with those effects for that time is pretty innovative i think . Obviously i can do some random parallels with Led Zeppelin (in a certain way) ! Listen around 6'26" ! Do you think good electric sound for that Era ? And around 6'36" ! What a Musician ! 7'55" Nnailed it Sir Trraa' ! The transition and some part even switching towards progressive are Coool ! 13'03" Nnnnailed it Suzii 🙋♂️
Check out Deep Purple s version too...and Whitesnake live in the hearth of the city version..Great all three versions.. its written by Blackmore an d Coverdale
