#1 like man! I love this song. Dio has a great voice! I had the pleasure to see him sing in Japan, Live Aid 1987. I still have the T-shirt. Quiet Riot was there as well. Dio was the main attraction and the show he put on was epic. One of a kind, may he RIP.
Rainbow has these gems plugged in with these slower songs that hit differently. Both Ronnie and Ritchie both had a deep interest in medieval music & lore. Ritchie mixes his neoclassical feel into his music. This a precursor to the last 25 years with his band Blackmore's Night, which is very much medieval folk music. Ritchie became the bard that he was meant to be. A lot of fans were disappointed to see him go into this direction, but I am happy for him. He has done it all in Rock/ Metal, so doing other styles of music to keep his interest alive, I am all for that. Check out the song "Fires at Midnight", that is a good one to start off with this group. Also, I do recommend the 1995 version of Temple of the King with Doogie White on vocals for Rainbow, he did it very well.
Agree - Take the journey to Blackmore’s current project - Blackmore’s Night with tunes like I Still Remember, Fires at Midnight, Storm or Second Element - you will not be disappointed ..pure magic
Wonderfully done Shawn! 1st time I heard this I then understood why Ritchie left Purple! I'd suggest you jump on 20 years to a metal live version of it from 1995 with a Dio soundalike - one of my favourite tracks. One that most miss though is "Catch the Rainbow" from the same album which is very similar - but if you do the live version off of "On Stage" it showcases the band in live mode like no other! It's 15 minutes long, but Ritchie's improvisation throughout it is second to none - and there's also a re-entry around 9 minutes that will shake your spine! Love for you to be the first to do it in depth! As mentioned below, Ritchie moved into Renaissance mode and has done many albums with his wife - the perfect mix of those two genres you mentioned would be "Locked Within the Crystal Ball". But there are also some incredible instrumentals from Ritchie in the collection too - Beyond the Sunset, The Messenger, etc - or Maybe Next Time & Weiss Heim from Rainbow. Good Luck and keep 'em coming!
Rainbow has many great songs to put on your your list. Stargazer Mistreated Since you've been gone Man on the silver mountain Stone cold Street of dreams Catch the rainbow...
Nice! Ritchie is a super talented guitarist. Oh Shawn! Ritchie and his wife Candace Knight have a Renaissance group! It’s called “Blackmore’s Knight” One of the songs is even called “Renaissance fair” excellent songs, she’s a great singer and there’s awesome Ritchie guitar in it of course! Blackmore’s Knight are also fun to watch live! I hope hope hope you check them out! 😀 th-cam.com/video/M1sOQfYTWSg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lQZcaUMCnbmmUamB This is a link for a live “Renaissance Fair” if you ever want to check it out!
If you loved this, you will almost for sure enjoy Deep Purple's "Soldier Of Fortune". Ritchie's acoustic chops are on full display, and it has the exact same haunting, ethereal quality that "Temple Of The King" has. It ain't Dio on vocals, but it IS the fantastic David Coverdale. Almost as good.

Hey mister Salvadori, how about "Love You Till The End" by the Pogues audio version, I'll bet my coca cola body wife if yer don't like it. This song so underrated that even Ricky Beato doesn't know about it.

Rainbow "mistreated " is another banger

The memories this brings back can’t be said out loud.
Now you need to do Catch the Rainbow. It’s even better.
