I’m 73, and the 60s-80s were the absolute best times for music. None of the garbage today compares to what we had. All I need now is a time machine to go back and stay there. They can have this future crap
Me too... please take me back with you.. I so desperately want to go back.. hopefully we could go back beautiful and with money this time..lol not broke again 🤦🏻with the power of imagination and a couple of old VHS tapes, we can transport back...lol..🙋🏻
I'M 70 years old but until l look in the mirror, l feel like l'm still 19! There is no time or place l would have rather been born. There was a music renazonce, that was the best we will ever see.
Thank You ... I believe You got that right ! Guitar Player's as Mr. Blackmore laid the Foundation for His Patented Riffs and Guitar Expertise are kind of Out of this World ! Leaves Mr this to say : THANK You Wholeheartedly !!! ♦️
@@leeinwis When I was little, our religious kindergarten teacher told us it was because God needed them back up in heaven. When I got older, I was told that people have to die to make room for the new ones...best people to ask are folks who have had a near-death experience (NDE)...but, even there, the answers vary wildly. My mom was ready to go...her body was finished, even though 'she' wasn't. At least, she doesn't have to battle her own mortality, any more.
Met Joe-Lynn backstage at a Deep Purple show in the 1990's. Joe comes storming into the room, fat and blonde, but with a beautiful woman each arm, grinning from ear-to-ear! Super-fun guy and signed my program. That's what life is all about; Working Hard and Playing Hard. Nice guy
Ставь лайк если слушаешь это в 2024м. Мне 29 и мой отец растил меня на этих песнях. Теперь я понимаю, что значит настоящая музыка. Дай бог здоровья всем этим легендарным ребятам, а тем, кого нет с нами - светлая память.
Yes, this reminds me of when i was in High School with my 77 Pontiac Trans Am and cranking the pioneer speakers with this Song !!!! Im 56 and life was soo much easier with out all these tech gadgets .. When Dating was approaching a Girl in School you liked and asking for Date to the Movies ... Miss those days !!!
I'm 17 and i was raised on this music from my parents, seems like everyone is in a rush to tell everyone it was better back in the day. I bet when my generation is way older we'll be saying that to our kids too.
They weren’t underrated. They were successful in their time. They just never stayed mainstream. You can’t win because people hate on the bands like ac/dc or motley Crüe or guns n roses because they are still played so much.
Ritchie Blackmore might be a complicated person but God knows how I love that strange emotion between euphoria and nostalgia when I hear him play that guitar. 🎸
Of the plethora of famous guitar solos, this one from Ritchie is one of my favorites because of the beautiful fit to the song's lyrics and the clean guitar work done with absolute care and precision. Alex Lifeson on "Limelight" and Eddie Van Halen on "Hear about it Later" have similar beautiful solos in comparison.
You are absolutely right. This is the kind of stuff I still listen to and I always will! I graduated in '84 also and I swear sometimes it seems like yesterday, even though it's been almost 37 years! Man, where did the time go? But, at least we still have this kind of great music to turn to! Keep rocking on everybody!
If you are part of the MTV 80s generation this is one of those songs that take you right back to that sliver of time in our lives that no other generation will Ever understand..
*This Is The Age Where Music Took Talent all The Way To The Top With No Synthesizers To Mask Voices Just Raw Playing Skills.... Who's Listening To This Gem In 2019 - 2020?*
I was 17 when this came out, and IT was played on MTV all the time. I used to have the same hair style, and leather jacket. I'm telling you, growing up from the 60s to the 80s was great in countless ways. A true blast.
Hell yeah you're lucky.. I wish I could have grown up in the 60s . I believe I should be older than I am but I wish we could go back to the way things were. I'm disgusted with mostly everything that goes on these days such as trans men going into the woman's bathroom 🤢 and all things associated with that. Music is beyond terrible amongst way to many other things 🤦🏼♀️.. things need to change.. but we all the answer to that 💩
Im 56 and miss my younger days that were easier and no care in the World ,,, Driving my 77 Trans am and feeling the power of the engine while cranking this Song on the pioneer radio .... Life is passing too quickly we have to enjoy every moment while we can !!! God Bless
Unfortunately it’s not true. JLT wasn’t Richies taste. He didn’t like the direction Rainbow was going in at this time. I grew up across the street from Bobby (drums) and we all heard about it later on.
My idea of heaven is going back to the music, times, and memories of the 70's and 80's, with only the good and none of the bad. I kind of do that in my mind and imagination when I come here and play these great song and reminisce. But it'll be a thousand times better in my vision of Heaven, no memory glitches, and no one missing. I'm 57, and I feel like I'm just killing time now waiting for my time to go, and I'm so looking forward to it. But my time spent here, enjoying these great hits and reading everyone's comments, it makes me feel like I'm really home for a while, and a part of something truly special with all of you, that I really belong. And that's a damn good feeling, I can tell you. Thanks for that everyone. 🙂👍
I Totally Understand and Get what you wrote ... You can't fix stupid .. That is the crazy lazy non physical world that sadly exists now.. Peace to you Brother, Tom 🍀✌ 🎶🎸🌌🔥👍
@@guitarttimman ~ I fully agree, and I'll add the 60s to that sentiment as well. There was still a lot of good songs in the 80s, but as the decade pressed on, the quality gradually dispersed and dissipated, took a downward turn... and then you know what happened... the horrid 90s arrived, rock went belly up, and died a sad and pitiful death at the hands of complete, and final corporate control.
Well, being fair, I do like the Seattle Sound. I think the bad thing is that people started believing music had to be overly technical before it's good. I love Alice "n Chains, STP, and bands like that. I liked the grunge sound a lot because it brought back the hippie flavor. Yes, it's true that the 70's produced the best musicians, but some of that 90's stuff really kicked ass. I even like Nirvana because I realize what they were doing. They kept it simple but ingeniously hippie and grungy. I like that. What I didn't like about the 80's is that every rock band thought they had to be overly technical to be good, but that ruined a lot of their music. Sure, I love Dio, Ozzy, and all that too, but none of the 80's music can even compare to what was done in the late 60's and all through the 70's. That was some amazing composing, and there has never been anything as great to this day. I remember how some people used to look at me funny when I told them I liked Ozzy a lot better in Black Sabbath than I did in his solo career (albeit I liked that too). It is because Black Sabbath's composing was so masterful and cool. Yes, in one way Randy Rhoads was better than Tony Iommi, but in another way Tony blew him out of the water. Tony, by far, was a way better composer, and he had a sound that is unmatched to this day. I like 'em both, but I favor Tony's style more!
slimshine918 Didn’t corporations always control the music industry? What changed in the 90’s? I agree music started dying in the 90’s and by the 2000’s you’d be lucky to name a handful of good bands, but I’d still like to know how corporate control did music in
I listen to the music from that period of musical renaissance and realize that there will never again be the same explosion of musical talent which we were privileged to be a part of during that magical era. We had such an overabundance of super talented musicians, songwriters and singers that many groups like Rainbow, Triumph, Aldo Nova and others didn't get the recognition they would have recieved at another period of time. The music of the 60's thru the early 90's was magical. The lyrics expressed emotions that were spoken in every day life: Viet Nam, peace, love, life, personal beliefs about politics to love. I miss the music of that era but fortunately music never dies!!
Why was that era so potent in music? Easy, no computers or video games (or very primitive ones), a hot postwar economy and the Cold War to drive the people's hedonism.
Nice to see someone mentioning Aldo Nova, I was still behind the Iron Curtain in Europe..and adored the music of Aldo Nova, still listen to his albums now and then.
I saw them in Dallas Texas back in 1985.... Bad ass times, crusing with my best girl in my 1979 trans am blasting Rainbow on my Kenwood tape deck.... Good times, good times.
You're so right about that... I can't think of a single band, in the last decade that even comes CLOSE to the superior Rock of the late 70's, and all of the 80's... its so disappointing. So glad to have my albums, and of course, TH-cam!! LOL
I still listen to them. I love Joe Lynn Turner. I met him in Springfield VA Jazz. He spoke to him @ Jazz. I introduced him to my friends. I really loved there music. Great music!!
I love the way Ritchie transitions, and melds notes together in each single phrase. His melodies are so beautiful, yet vulgar, at the same time. He plays with pure magic, love, and anger. All emotions in ever solo. That's why he is my favorite of all time. The G.O.A.T!
All praise to the true and living God, I'm 66 years old and a Vietnam Veteran, grew up in a little town of Rockport Texas and man remember all the bands in the late sixties and to mid seventies, that was music growing up rodeoing and even surfing 🏄♂️ and getting stoned. Man what a Time to be alive.
Every night I have the same old dream 'bout you and me and what's in between So many changes, so many lies Try to run, try to hide >From everything that I feel inside But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes... Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell Another dark and empty night If I was wrong I wanna make it right But you are so distant, so far away Your words like ice fall on the ground Breaking the silence without a sound Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well... Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell... You leave me Stone Cold
Truly timeless, I'm 62 and for me it will always be the older rock, if you have the time you need to give Rare Earth a listen a group from the late 60's , played at Woodstock
I love Rare Earth. Their live album, looks like a backpack bag , is great. Has a 23 minute version of " Get Ready" plus all their hits. Pete Rivera, the drummer was the lead singer. I' m 72.
This song is one of the earliest form of power ballads ! When rock got carried away, they realized that a beautiful song was crafted not beaten to a pulp!
Power ballads are depressing IMO. This is not. I would call this rock just with limited phrasing and low energy (low impact). But big on the melody. Good stuff.
Because they don't get it, never can, never will.... Which is OK, those magickal times belong to US. Forever. If you never found the Key, you can never open the Door.
After the collapse of Fandango, in 1980, Turner received a call from former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who played in his band Rainbow, in which he was the leader. At the audition, Blackmore was so impressed that he immediately included Joe in the Rainbow lineup. Before Turner joined Rainbow, the group was popular in Europe and Japan, but did not achieve the same popularity in the United States. Thanks to Turner's contributions to the band's music, Rainbow finally achieved popularity in the United States. In the early and mid 80s. Several songs from Rainbow albums featuring Turner reached the Top 20 on various radio charts. "Stone Cold" became the group's first Top 40 hit; Rainbow videos were played on MTV
handyhippie65 however keep in mind we lost a lot of brothers and sisters in that decade of decadence. Guess im one of the survivor's. What a run!!!!!!! Wow
Vincent Dallaire many great musicians and soldiers of fortune. "relive peacefully the days of the future as they are the past." - i don't remember who said that but i like it all the same
I was born November 1985, I lost i lost my dad November 21, 2017, at the age of 69, songs like this make me think of him and what he was doing in the 80s. Love u dad
Hmmmm.... I, remember. Now, kids, the age I was then, can't decide if they're "coming or going"... My only thoughts were what greatness was coming out next on the radio, and which Girl, I liked most... Times, have changed...
1982 driving my crush home for the first time ,this song came on Q107 , to this day all I think of is her when I hear this 🎵 ,Fck man I would give ANYTHING to go back to that moment
~Time Was Going By Faster Than We Realized... Life Is Too Quick, And We Can Never Stay In A Moment, But Strangely, When We're There, It Feels Like It's Everlasting...
Великий талант и по призванию гитарист, Риччи Блэкмор создал сначала дип перпл, а затем и Рэйнбов! Говоря о Джон Лин Тернере, нужно сказать , что он один из величайших солистов за всю историю рока! Всем мой респект!
That band, Blackmore's Night, definitely takes some getting used to if you've never heard Renaissance or medieval-type music. It's interesting. I'll have to check them out too!
Absolutely brilliant Blackmore solo, one of his best......it had all his trademarks: a dramatic intro/actually went somewhere/melodic/some technique thrown in, but musical/a bit of flash/ a bit of shred/ a dramatic descending lick to end it..... pure Blackmore gold
@Joseph Cocchiola 2 different styles. Blackmores solos were immediately recognizable. Nobody and Ii mean nobody had such a one of a kind sound and technique.
I loved Rainbow with Dio but Joe Lynn Turner was one hell of a frontman also. I grew up on this music thanks to my dad who grew up in the 60s and 70s. Everything Richie Blackmore touches turns to PURE GOLD. Deep Purple's Knocking At Your Back Door and Perfect Strangers are 2 of my favorite Deep Purple songs.
Agree!!! “Knocking At Your Back Door has the strangest solo Ritchie played… I love it because it’s really weird and unique!!!! You can’t wrap around your fingers muscle memory on the fretboard… especially the speed he plays that one with…
I was 17 in 80. 60 now and focus alot on the 60s through 80s. Simplier times , best music with ensembles, vocals and of course videos. Clicking my heels to go back to the beginning, the 60s >
Hareish Sawng me too ! I was 17 in 1982 when this song came out and a DJ at my college I during the summer ! Actually for 2 years ! Great music and the best of times ! Loved the 70 ‘s as well ! 🌈😊👍love Rainbow
Had this album back in highschool. It wasn't just the great music, it was the big console stereo systems we had. Big speakers, full sound - you physically felt the music! We didn't really know what we had.
Is anyone else still listening to this great song in 2024??? ❤

I just turned 58, and this was my era, 1975-95. It's all been downhill ever since, but it was a great time to be alive!
Couldn't agree more, but I am only good up to about 1987/88. Can't do the "grunge" thing, just can't!
Agree 100%
there's been great stuff since 95, but not as much. Maybe not your thing, but the Venom reunion album was cool.

Lou for sure. Range and power.

Unfortunately it’s not true. JLT wasn’t Richies taste. He didn’t like the direction Rainbow was going in at this time. I grew up across the street from Bobby (drums) and we all heard about it later on.
My idea of heaven is going back to the music, times, and memories of the 70's and 80's, with only the good and none of the bad. I kind of do that in my mind and imagination when I come here and play these great song and reminisce. But it'll be a thousand times better in my vision of Heaven, no memory glitches, and no one missing. I'm 57, and I feel like I'm just killing time now waiting for my time to go, and I'm so looking forward to it. But my time spent here, enjoying these great hits and reading everyone's comments, it makes me feel like I'm really home for a while, and a part of something truly special with all of you, that I really belong. And that's a damn good feeling, I can tell you. Thanks for that everyone. 🙂👍
I Totally Understand and Get what you wrote ...

ANOTHER SONG THAT PROVES THE 80'S HAD THE BEST TUNES.
NOT really, here... The BEST 80's songs were from the New Wave bands starting 1979
The 70's was the best, but this is cool.
@@guitarttimman ~ I fully agree, and I'll add the 60s to that sentiment as well. There was still a lot of good songs in the 80s, but as the decade pressed on, the quality gradually dispersed and dissipated, took a downward turn... and then you know what happened... the horrid 90s arrived, rock went belly up, and died a sad and pitiful death at the hands of complete, and final corporate control.
Well, being fair, I do like the Seattle Sound. I think the bad thing is that people started believing music had to be overly technical before it's good. I love Alice "n Chains, STP, and bands like that. I liked the grunge sound a lot because it brought back the hippie flavor. Yes, it's true that the 70's produced the best musicians, but some of that 90's stuff really kicked ass. I even like Nirvana because I realize what they were doing. They kept it simple but ingeniously hippie and grungy. I like that. What I didn't like about the 80's is that every rock band thought they had to be overly technical to be good, but that ruined a lot of their music. Sure, I love Dio, Ozzy, and all that too, but none of the 80's music can even compare to what was done in the late 60's and all through the 70's. That was some amazing composing, and there has never been anything as great to this day. I remember how some people used to look at me funny when I told them I liked Ozzy a lot better in Black Sabbath than I did in his solo career (albeit I liked that too). It is because Black Sabbath's composing was so masterful and cool. Yes, in one way Randy Rhoads was better than Tony Iommi, but in another way Tony blew him out of the water. Tony, by far, was a way better composer, and he had a sound that is unmatched to this day. I like 'em both, but I favor Tony's style more!
slimshine918 Didn’t corporations always control the music industry? What changed in the 90’s? I agree music started dying in the 90’s and by the 2000’s you’d be lucky to name a handful of good bands, but I’d still like to know how corporate control did music in
I listen to the music from that period of musical renaissance and realize that there will never again be the same explosion of musical talent which we were privileged to be a part of during that magical era. We had such an overabundance of super talented musicians, songwriters and singers that many groups like Rainbow, Triumph, Aldo Nova and others didn't get the recognition they would have recieved at another period of time. The music of the 60's thru the early 90's was magical. The lyrics expressed emotions that were spoken in every day life: Viet Nam, peace, love, life, personal beliefs about politics to love. I miss the music of that era but fortunately music never dies!!
i agree!! except for aldo nova--not in that class of bands, basically one hit wonder
Why was that era so potent in music? Easy, no computers or video games (or very primitive ones), a hot postwar economy and the Cold War to drive the people's hedonism.
very agree and Aldo Nova ....he good play a hole rate of instuments ...from flute to drums !
So well said. I so wish this type of music would make a comeback. There is some talent and taste out there.....we can always hope!
Nice to see someone mentioning Aldo Nova, I was still behind the Iron Curtain in Europe..and adored the music of Aldo Nova, still listen to his albums now and then.
I'm 67 and still love it!
2024 still going strong!
I saw them in Dallas Texas back in 1985.... Bad ass times, crusing with my best girl in my 1979 trans am blasting Rainbow on my Kenwood tape deck.... Good times, good times.
Did you? They broke up in 1984!
My Kenwood tape deck got ripped out in Detroit. Probably pawned for $40 bucks lol.
Wow yes it does like it! I remember quite well :) Sadly NOTHING has come close to those times in the 80's
I can see you memory. awesome...
Do you still have the Trans Am? That would be awesome!
Phisically: here. Mentally: living in the 80s and going to Rainbow concerts
I never stopped going there.
🌈 line up: Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Lynn Tyner, Roger Glover, David Rosenthal And Bobby Rondineli👏👏👏
Joe Lynn Turner was a fantastic vocalist. 🤟
2019 and I am still listening to this song.
Me too!!!
Same here
Yeah, it still it hasn't improved.
Me aswell
me too
In my opinion rock music today doesn't compare to songs like this one; if there is any substantial rock music.
Amen to that.
Life is good... with Rainbow... good memories all around 😎
You are 💯 correct 👍✌️
You're so right about that... I can't think of a single band, in the last decade that even comes CLOSE to the superior Rock of the late 70's, and all of the 80's... its so disappointing. So glad to have my albums, and of course, TH-cam!! LOL
@@WestCoastDozier For todays groups I would vote for Shindown. But it's hard to put someone up against Rainbow.
Love Joe Lynn Turner's voice and Blackmore guitar riff that goes "searching in the darkness" Brilliant!
I thought the collaboration between the two, fits really so well….
I still listen to them. I love Joe Lynn Turner. I met him in Springfield VA Jazz. He spoke to him @ Jazz. I introduced him to my friends. I really loved there music. Great music!!
I love the way Ritchie transitions, and melds notes together in each single phrase. His melodies are so beautiful, yet vulgar, at the same time. He plays with pure magic, love, and anger. All emotions in ever solo. That's why he is my favorite of all time. The G.O.A.T!
AGREE
Underrated as a guitar pioneer with DP. He and Page and Gilmour picked up what Hendrix started. Blackmore is a force
No doubt if you know rock and roll guitar Players
Blackmore so underrated, lets keep it a secret
This song is the epitome of the 80's... Take me back there please! 🖤
Me to
PLEASE!!!!!!
True. And blackmore wasn't even trying to capture the feel of the 80s era. It speaks of his genius.
More like the 70s
80s would be Paradise City
hair nation !!
@@lockandloadlikehell
Paradise City would be very late 80's. This is 82.
All praise to the true and living God, I'm 66 years old and a Vietnam Veteran, grew up in a little town of Rockport Texas and man remember all the bands in the late sixties and to mid seventies, that was music growing up rodeoing and even surfing 🏄♂️ and getting stoned. Man what a Time to be alive.
Every night I have the same old dream
'bout you and me and what's in between
So many changes, so many lies
Try to run, try to hide
>From everything that I feel inside
But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes...
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...
Stone Cold...
and I thought I knew you so well
Stone Cold
Can't break away from your spell
Another dark and empty night
If I was wrong I wanna make it right
But you are so distant, so far away
Your words like ice fall on the ground
Breaking the silence without a sound
Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone like a thief in the night...
Stone Cold...
and I thought I knew you so well...
Stone Cold
Can't break away from your spell...
You leave me Stone Cold

YOUNG SINGERS , TAKE NOTES FROM THE MASTERS , 💣🎸💣🎹💣🎶💣🎵💣🎼💣🎤💣🎻💣⚡⚡💣 , , ⤴🔼🔼⤴
Death Alley Driver is another good Rainbow tune.🎸🎶🎵
Thank you!
Good music seems rare these days, back then it was the norm, 70's especially.
I only make love to the 80s rock😝...being 56 brings back those 'memories' of me and him...aka my husband. ♾️❤
Truly timeless, I'm 62 and for me it will always be the older rock, if you have the time you need to give Rare Earth a listen a group from the late 60's , played at Woodstock
Absolutely love Rare Earth!
I love Rare Earth. Their live album, looks like a backpack bag , is great. Has a 23 minute version of " Get Ready" plus all their hits. Pete Rivera, the drummer was the lead singer. I' m 72.
This song is one of the earliest form of power ballads ! When rock got carried away, they realized that a beautiful song was crafted not beaten to a pulp!
Power ballads are depressing IMO. This is not. I would call this rock just with limited phrasing and low energy (low impact). But big on the melody. Good stuff.
Rainbow have always had great singers. My personal favourite s RJD and JLT. Long live the past, we were there 60s 70s and 80s..🎵🎶🎹🎸🥁🌈👌
Saw Rainbow with RJD twice. My ears are still ringing.
В восьмидесятые при СССР увидеть этот клип любимой группы было - фантастика.Спасибо!!!
Всегда любил Rainbow, а услышал я его в 1978 году,люблю по сей день.
Тоже самое, до сих пор они являются моей наилюбимейшей группой, хоть я давно пенсионерка.
@@user-oq7fn2wz2lМадам Браво!
i agree
Да. Очень мало Сейчас подобных групп, а таких музыкантов не забыть. Это уникальное явление в музыке.
100% !!
Наверное , больше не будет НИКОГДА ...
К величайшему сожалению, ни музыкантов, ни музыки. То что мы воспринимали как музыку исчезает из жизни, слава Богу память хоть пока не изменяет.
Listening to this is like turning back the clock..... those were the days.
Its just life my friend. I remember this song warm summer night small town cold beer and herb. Those are memories
As Natalie Merchant says. These are are still the days we are just more refined (and smarter in our choices) I do miss the early 80s
Joe Lynn Turner, one of the best singers ever in hard rock!! Great tone, no straining, stayed within his range. Just a great voice!!
How can anyone dislike this beautiful music?
Only the stupid people
meh
Only the ones who don't know what good music is!
Because they don't get it, never can, never will....
Which is OK, those magickal times belong to US.
Forever.
If you never found the Key, you can never open the Door.
Some people have no taste. That's how Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber got to become millionaires many times over.
After the collapse of Fandango, in 1980, Turner received a call from former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who played in his band Rainbow, in which he was the leader. At the audition, Blackmore was so impressed that he immediately included Joe in the Rainbow lineup.
Before Turner joined Rainbow, the group was popular in Europe and Japan, but did not achieve the same popularity in the United States. Thanks to Turner's contributions to the band's music, Rainbow finally achieved popularity in the United States. In the early and mid 80s. Several songs from Rainbow albums featuring Turner reached the Top 20 on various radio charts. "Stone Cold" became the group's first Top 40 hit; Rainbow videos were played on MTV
Joe Lynn Turner has such wonderful breath control when he sings.
Joe is totally underrrated in my opinion.
Great and underappreciated singer....
@@lucalone Using the word underrated IS far to overrated ....j.m.o.
Shang Hunter that’s cause you like bubble gum music! This shit is killer!
He's just like Gillian with DP Blackmore time
this brings back so many memories of high school. the 80's were the best, hands down.
handyhippie65 however keep in mind we lost a lot of brothers and sisters in that decade of decadence. Guess im one of the survivor's. What a run!!!!!!! Wow
Vincent Dallaire many great musicians and soldiers of fortune. "relive peacefully the days of the future as they are the past." - i don't remember who said that but i like it all the same
agree! What a head of hair he had, wow.
agreed
handyhippie65 I think seventies were no far from the 80's
One of the most underrated singers in history
Amen!!!!!!!!!
Amen.
No doubt! He really has talent with Rainbow and Yngwie Malmsteen..he should have been bigger
No question
I'm 65, still listening to this music
I was born November 1985, I lost i lost my dad November 21, 2017, at the age of 69, songs like this make me think of him and what he was doing in the 80s. Love u dad
He was having one hell of a good time.i promise. I was there!!
Sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my dad on November 29, 2017. I miss him everyday.
Was his first name "Tim" by any chance? If so please email me privately Mvracing@att.net thanks
God Bless
We got you,son.In Yeshua.
I would recognize Blackmore's style with my eyes closed.
Yes, very easily...
Lazy....... A masterpiece.
Estilo inconfundible
He calls it plectrum style
I'm 64 and I love this song
Even today this song kicks so much ass it's incredible.
razzledingle is that the hedgehog
This is back when people actually sang and had talent. Now any Bozo can dance around and talk to music like this is a skill.
Ron is correct😂
razzledingle you are so right. This sound still kicks ass.
when music was good,miss those days
got that right!😎
Man!!! This was the time to be alive and kicking these songs out loud, and proud just chilling and hanging with friends and enjoying life.
😀😀😀🤟🤟🤟64
Amen to that. I'm 62 and I live the rock music of the 60s, 70s, and the 80s, truly the best of the best. Takes me back to simpler times.
Hmmmm.... I, remember.
Now, kids, the age I was then, can't decide if they're "coming or going"...
My only thoughts were what greatness was coming out next on the radio, and which Girl, I liked most...
Times, have changed...
Yes cranked up headphones
I was 22 when this was a hit, for good reason. Very cool song.
same here, 20s very cool song
This song never gets old!!!! Freaking amazing!!!!! I can't break away from your spell....
I agree so much!
Loved it ever since then, come back to it regularly!
It is amazing and awesome, I totally like Joe Lynn Turner's voice!
Tina ,youre Gorgeous....Come with me....
Great old song!
Joey Lynn Turner is a great Singer.He was so underrated in this band and with Malmsteen
I'd forgotten he was with Yngwie!!!
I saw the Odyssey tour in Dallas. Lita Ford opened. Yngwie was utterly amazing. The whole band.
I loved this song
1982 driving my crush home for the first time ,this song came on Q107 , to this day all I think of is her when I hear this 🎵 ,Fck man I would give ANYTHING to go back to that moment
We Absolutely Had The Best Music In The '80's
Our generation had the best music that will never be matched again.
you had ! i was born in 1987 and i did not have this lucky !
This song takes me back to the early 80s
What a great time to be alive. Carefree, fun times !
80s was awesome!! Today's music sucks balls!!
So true !! and so funny!!!
~Time Was Going By Faster Than We Realized...

I was born in 1971 traversing the video in 1982 when I was 11 M48 and it still rocks God I missed a good days of MTV keep rocking
I concur
Великий талант и по призванию гитарист, Риччи Блэкмор создал сначала дип перпл, а затем и Рэйнбов! Говоря о Джон Лин Тернере, нужно сказать , что он один из величайших солистов за всю историю рока! Всем мой респект!
Вообще-то, Тернер больше тяготел к попсе, почему Ричи и решил с ним расстаться)
@@user-mj8sm3kx9z Может быть, но те вещи, что он спел, были просто шедеврами!
@@maratdzgoev7253 Это точно.
Rainbow and some beers,years fly bye but nothing changes.
The most beautiful period of my life
Joe Lynn Turner. What a voice!!!
Ritchie Blackmore with one of the best guitar solos ever
have u hear blackmore now hes pretty much solo and wife I believe blackmores nights its good
We are on the way home?
Seriously ?
That band, Blackmore's Night, definitely takes some getting used to if you've never heard Renaissance or medieval-type music. It's interesting. I'll have to check them out too!
not even close Buckethead would blow Richie Blackmore off the stage so bad its not funny
Class of 1983 ( HS) and this song/video was a huge hit in 82/83. As were all of these artists during the 70s/80s!
Richies solo is absolute flawless perfection
Then he High sticks it as if to say
YUP !!!
Absolutely brilliant Blackmore solo, one of his best......it had all his trademarks: a dramatic intro/actually went somewhere/melodic/some technique thrown in, but musical/a bit of flash/ a bit of shred/ a dramatic descending lick to end it..... pure Blackmore gold
this solo is mindblowing
Rithie the best whitch is why I've been listening to him since 1974
@Joseph Cocchiola 2 different styles. Blackmores solos were immediately recognizable. Nobody and Ii mean nobody had such a one of a kind sound and technique.
I loved Rainbow with Dio but Joe Lynn Turner was one hell of a frontman also. I grew up on this music thanks to my dad who grew up in the 60s and 70s. Everything Richie Blackmore touches turns to PURE GOLD. Deep Purple's Knocking At Your Back Door and Perfect Strangers are 2 of my favorite Deep Purple songs.
Agree!!! “Knocking At Your Back Door has the strangest solo Ritchie played… I love it because it’s really weird and unique!!!! You can’t wrap around your fingers muscle memory on the fretboard… especially the speed he plays that one with…
Dont forget Graham Bonnett.
He sang on one of those 80s hits.
I forget which song tho, lol
Turner for me. My husband, Dio. Oh well, lol
The 'Since You've Been Gone' guy was ok, too. But liked Turner way-better. Funny, one band THREE lead singers.
👍😎🥃 🎵🎸HUSH‼️🎵🎼🎤🥁
The singer is awesome. Highly underrated IMO.
I was 17 in 80. 60 now and focus alot on the 60s through 80s. Simplier times , best music with ensembles, vocals and of course videos. Clicking my heels to go back to the beginning, the 60s >
Who’s lucky to be alive today to see this video? 🤙🏽
HELL YEAH DUDE!
And SO LUCKY to have grown up in & thru this era!! Music with meaning Denise in PA
👍👍👍
Hareish Sawng me too ! I was 17 in 1982 when this song came out and a DJ at my college I during the summer ! Actually for 2 years ! Great music and the best of times ! Loved the 70 ‘s as well ! 🌈😊👍love Rainbow
Edward Kaneshiro love rainbow
Had this album back in highschool. It wasn't just the great music, it was the big console stereo systems we had. Big speakers, full sound - you physically felt the music! We didn't really know what we had.
I totally agree. Now future generations will believe that the definition of music is nothing more than "white noise".
Right😀 Still Remember my older brother's Marantz amplifier and tape deck!
I'm still rockin' the old analog receivers and big speakers.
