Dio-era Rainbow was arguably Ritchie Blackmore's creative pinnacle. RIP Ronnie James Dio and Cozy Powell.
I love the vocals Ronnie James Dio any time. His voice was so powerful.
Would you agree they were about 10 yrs ahead of the curve? "Man on the Silver Mountain" came out in 1975, could've been released in 1985 but think back to music of 1975...NOBODY sounded like THAT 🔥🔥
@@darkmagus64 Saw RJD in concert at least 3 times. First time I'm rubbing my eyes this guy can't be but 5'3", starts singing: And he's Godzilla at the Opera! RIP RJD. Thank you for those memories.
Also RIP jimmy Bain!
@@Dimentius1 oh no, didn't know he passed, may he RIP❗️
I love the way you guys admit that you "ran" from this type of music before, but have come to realize that you just have to give other genres a chance. Some might click, some might not. Respect.
The kind of album you put on when it's time to go to war, with whatever you're fighting against. Blackmore's solo is epic.
One of the greatest songs ever written. Dio and Ritchie Blackmore. The GREAT Cozy Powell on drums!
Indeed!
The most iconic Hard Rock or even Metal drums intro ever! Cozy was a drumming computer...!
Everybody in the band is an absolute virtuoso!
Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore in the same band! Powerhouse for sure. Great heavy music!❤
Dio! That voice! Dude could sing the telephone book and it would be the greatest thing you ever heard!
I first heard this band at 14 years of age, still listening now 40 years later and amazing live.
This song never ceases to amaze me. Every once in a while musicians come together at just the right time in their careers and you get a song like this. Actually the entire album is amazing but Stargazer rises above (pun intended).
RJD FOREVER!!!☮
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
An album that lives up to the promise of its cover art. The album notes the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra played on this track. so it could be called the precursor to symphonic metal
Old rocker here, Blackmore fan from Deep Purple, never heard this though….excellent pairing RJD soaring vocals with RB’s searing solos..wow! My first listen to them was today…like La & Che, my mind has been opened by the many fine subscribers. Thank you all!😊
I only found this song like 6 months ago so don't feel bad. I'm early 50's and have liked hard music since I was a teen. I have no idea where this was hiding all those years. I think this might be the most "complete" hard rock song I've ever heard. Everyone involved is at the top of their game and Dio feels like he's in your head singing some of those lines.
Same here, this song is a hidden gem
Listen to “Tarot woman” from this album
Cozy Powell just bringing it on the drums!
One of the very best epics ever, the band is full of all time greats with Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore and Cozy Powell at the very best at what they do. Cozy's drum opening, Ritchie's amazing guitar and Ronnie's vocals throughout are outstanding. Legendary track! For more try Man On the Silver Mountain, another all time banger! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Anything with Ronnie James Dio singing is killer…he’s a vocal master.
The word "EPIC" is the right word to explain this musical composition. One of the best songs ever recorded. Rainbow also did "Chill" songs as well, check out the song "Catch the Rainbow". It is my go to "relax and chill" song. They also did "Bluesy" songs to, like the song "Mistreated". The Rainbow live 1977 Munich version of this song is a special cover of the original Deep Purple version (worth checking out DP version as well).
Epic Cozy Powell on Drums!
The way the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra just sneaks in the door at the outro is incredible.
One of the greatest intros ever. In the first 10 seconds you know you are in for a ride.
Man. I've been meaning to tell you how much I appreciate the no nonsense intros: "This is who we are and this is what we're listening to"...Love that...
Well done lads. Have been hoping you'd do this one. For many decades this was one of my favourite tracks, then one day I realised it was THE favourite. All the best to you both 👍
A people enslaved to make one leader fly, thinking they all might find another planet to inhabit. Sounds familiar! Subbed.
Blackmore formed this band after hearing Dio, the singer with his band Elf, who were touring with Deep Purple. He left Purple and they made a classic first album before he fired everybody but Dio and recruited new musicians for this one. One of the first real Heavy Metal bands foreseeing Priest and Maiden. Not to forget DP and Sabbath before.
I saw Elf open for Deep Purple and Aerosmith in Hartford 1974, you could tell Ronnie had a voice that was going somewhere!
I'm SOO glad you guys have over time opened up to the harder stuff. So much virtuosity. Ritchie Blackmore you've heard before as he was guitarist and founder of Deep Purple. Cozy Powell was one of rocks greatest drummers and Ronnie James Dio one of the legendary hard rock vocalists. Check out Kill the KIng another banger with killer drumming.
A masterpiece album 🤟
It certainly is.
Nice! Nothing like a little Rainbow to get this hot summer day started!
oh this is a good one !
Love that you used to run from it and now you’re running with it…saw them live a couple of times at “The Swing Auditorium” in San Bernardino 40+ years ago…Respect…
A hard rock masterwork as is most tracks on this album! Guys the whole album is killer!! R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio…
Dio as you can hear was an amazing singer and always brought his special light to whatever band he performed with. Elf, Rainbow, Sabbath and solo
Epic
An incredible song and Ronnie James in peak form(he always was) I was fortunate to have met Ronnie a number of times(friend of my father’s)
What an awesome man!!! RIP RJD and my Father
This is what you get when you mix members of black sabbath and deep purple. You have to do Holy Diver by Ronnie James Dio. It's a classic
I believe it was the keyboard making the violin sound.
It was the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.
Don't mean to overdo it with so many comments here, but wanted to let you two know. Wife was out of town last night and nothing to do. Did I watch a TV show or a movie? NO! I went through ALL your videos again! Something about you guys and the music you play. You are like long lost childhood friends, brothers from another mother. Your intelligence and humor shine through in all you do.
Thanks Mark. We appreciate that.
Very true DITO brother.🔥👍🏼
This was one of the many songs I heard blasting from my brother's room when I was a kid! Lol
His music used to drive me nuts but the older I get the more I appreciate it!
Good to see you both opening your horizons to music you would not listen to before.
Great reaction!
Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore formed this band after leaving Deep Purple. Unfortunately singer Ronnie James Dio, drummer Cozy Powell and bass player Jimmy Bain have all since passed away.
The keyboardplayer on this album Tony Carey is still with us though. He played really great keyboards in Rainbow,, he also played on some of the songs on the Long live rockn roll album.
My favourite band ever, despite the many line up changes Richie always put together a great team. RJD was one of the best.
Same
Don’t forget about Dio in Black Sabbath! Also The band “Heaven and Hell”! Dio’s last album!
Ronnie James Dio! Top voice of metal, considered the Godfather of metal, he later joined Black Sabbath when Ozzy left. He is also the singer who popularized the rock and roll hand sign 🤘🏻
You guys continue to be the most intelligent aware insightful reactors out there man. Just my two cents lol 😆. 👍
One of the best guitar solos ever.
First two albums I ever bought as a youth.... Rainbow rising and Kansas Leftoverture. Both are iconic 70's muse and I still have them today.
I was 6 yrs. old when this album came out in 76' now imagine being 6 yrs. old and hearing this for the first time, calling it mind blowing doesn't even do it justice.
The drum intro really sets us up for the rest of the song to come
Rainbow - Gates of Babylon is another Dio classic.
Rising is an Epic recording.
If Black Sabbath and Deep Purple had a child 😂
For me, I had a habit of buying every live album I could get my hands on. One of them was Rainbow-On Stage featuring a young Dio just going off. Great LP.
I don't know, I just put this album on the turn table and I'm going to light a J and sit here and prove that it is indeed just listening music :). One of the greatest hard rock albums of all time. Perfect.
The Dio - Sabbath era is hands down my favorite work of Ronnie's. Love Blackmore, but the chemistry with Iommi just meshed perfectly. Check
Black Sabbath -Sign of The Southern Cross( Dio on vocals)
100%. Mine too. "Falling off the edge of the world" is another fav of mine.
agree...dio added a different dimension to sabbath which led to even more greatness and creativity from iommi...
This is Rainbow's masterpiece.But they have many really good songs with various singers.One of the best rock groups in 70's .
A song about hubris, read the lyrics. The best voice in Hard Rock/Heavy Metal is?... Ronnie James Dio. You guys are discovering every band that influenced me in my youth. Cool thing is most still hold up or exceed what proceeded it. The lights going on in your reactions remind me of smoking multiple doobies with my bros. losing our minds on a new album playthrough. Rainbow was my favorite band when I was in 8th grade and I still love them...with Dio. I had a musician filled family and there was Zep, Purple, Sabbath, Yes, Kansas, Rainbow, Van Halen, Rush, etc playing in one corner room and Eagles, Van Morrison, John Denver, Heart, etc from another while Dad was playing Jazz, Classical, Barbershop, Opera, on the other end. The reason I love amazing writing and performance is all those influences. I like musicians who make me think, "How the hell did they do that?''
@@bc-ad-infinity Same here, I started drums and they left home, started guitar - the guitar went to college with my brother. Had a piano but didn't take like guitar. Never able to afford one, graduate HS, get to work for 55-65 a week and then...drum roll please...broke my f-g neck on a dirt bike 5 years later...should have bought a guitar. lol
DIO!!! He and Rainbow ROCKED, MAN: HARD BEATS!! Can't beat Dio's voice. Miss him. Thanks for visiting all our "old friends"!!! PRICELESS! HUGS! ❤❤❤❤❤
When do we leave? I believe! the best line is ... Where is your star? is it far? Rainbow is 1 of the most influential bands that have existed in modern music! Don't do it for the clicks.. Rainbow is legendary! Check out the other music with Grham Bonnet and the Joe Lyn Turner years. It is an absolute pleasure to find your channel. I live on SSI can't contribute much EXCEPT for knowledge .I am 58 years old and starting my Upchurch journey! God bless you on this music journey! Music is MAGIC!!!
He had working since the 1950s singing and was with rainbow 🌈 and Black Sabbath and his own group dio he was one of the best singers of all time great live music
Dio is the Pavarotti of metal.
The GOAT of rock voices
Go Laa, Go Chee!! ‘Bout time you got to this. This epic in all senses…
Just an EPIC song!
Rainbow's homage to Zeppelin's Kashmir, though they did bring their own unique spin to this type of song.
the most epicest of epic songs
❤
Blackmore left Deep Purple and decided to create his solo band Rainbow. He invited Elf singer Dio and they became a monster duo. Adding drummer Cozy Powell and bassist Jimmy. Bain was the peak of the band. And the Munich Philharmony orchestra is playing on that track, so yes; there are violins there.
Munich Symphony Orchestra played on this song.
Cozy Powell on drums!!! ❤
Now we talkin. Rainbow so use rated. Goes hard af
Definitely check out Rainbow "Catch the Rainbow" such a killer song.
They nail it live especially singer RJD!!!Hypnotic is right!🤘⭐️🤘
The song has been called a "morality tale",[7] and its lyrics are written from the standpoint of a "slave in Egyptian times", according to lyricist Ronnie James Dio. They relate the story of the Wizard, an astronomer who becomes "obsessed with the idea of flying" and enslaves a vast army of people to build him a tower from which he can take off and fly.[5]: 70 The people hope for the day when their misery comes to an end, building the tower in harsh conditions ("In the heat and rain, with whips and chains; /just to see him fly, too many died"). In the end, the wizard climbs to the top of the tower but, instead of flying, falls down and dies: "no sound as he falls instead of rising. / Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand". The next song, "A Light in the Black", continues the story of the people who have lost all purpose after the Wizard's death "until they see the Light in the Dark", according to Dio.[5] -Wikipedia
Absolutely great album
I always thought of Rainbow and Uriah Heep as Fantasy Rock, because of their Lyrics
This is a top 10 all-time metal song for sure
Awesome band
Awesome album
Dios crowning achievement
Dio was in peak form with Rainbow.
i go way back to the late 60s, as time went on DIO has become my favorite hard rock/metal singer....so powerful and brings out any and all emotions....love OZZY, but the Dio era with sabbath was great also....thanks guys for all the "hard" stuff you do..really missing that there hasnt been much new in this area in a long time...
I'm still curious about what you guys thought of Rainbow - Man on the Silver Mountain. There were some technical difficulties with that video, damn, that was almost a year ago now. I'm hoping you'll circle back around to Dio's Black Sabbath years soon. Right on guys!
I went to two Rainbow concerts during the 70's. Dio was in the group the first time, but they changed members like changing socks so I don't recall the members the second time in the late 70's.
i had the vinyl album many years ago. if i remember correctly, there was an orchestra credited in the liner notes.
Drummer was killing it
Easily the greatest metal vocalist of all time.
A top all-time fave, loved RJD
This is one of those songs that you don't want to ever finish....
hahaha I liked your sincerity in saying that you used to run away from this kind of music and now you can appreciate it. As a big fan of rock music, but who has also learnt to appreciate rap/hip-hop, I like to see when this ‘sound migration’ also happens on the opposite side.
Guys, listen to Rainbow and Dio's solo career (by the way, he was the lead singer of Black Sabbath after Ozzy). Please react to Raibown's A Light in the Black.
Cheers to you, Davi.
Saw them in 76 in Sydney Australia, still the best concert I’ve ever seen or heard, every one of the band members shone through- Raw talent, Still I’m Sad is phenomenal, Dio and the whole band just out of this world live 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
If that was your first time hearing Dio you have got to hear the song "I", by Black Sabbath. It is Ronny telling you how badass he is and will rock your face off...basically
Great song suggestion.
That one's a killer.
Enjoyed watching your reaction !
Epic song!
stargazer rocks.rainbows great.long live rock n roll(dio vocals) is great start to finish.very overlooked record by them.,n jealous lover(joe lynn turner vocals) is one of my favorite of all time
Blackmore dio bain Powell. You have now crossed the threshold of heavy metal perfection my friends. There is no going back!
This is on a level with Kashmir and it’s rarified air up there!!
Fun fact: The original singer of Rainbow was Ronnie James Dio, an Italian-American from New York... He started singing as a teen in the late 50's and spent the 60's singing R&B and do-wop songs. He was an amazing singer early in his career 🔥🔥
Ronnie James Dio formed a rock band The Electric Elves in the late 60's... it became the heavy rock band Elf in the early 70's.
In 1975, Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore formed his band Rainbow and enlisted Ronnie James Dio and Elf to record their debut album... 'Stargazer' was released in 1976 from Rainbow's 2nd album 'Rising'... Ronnie blossomed as a rock singer during his years in Rainbow... However, Ronnie was fired after their 3rd album 'Long live rock n roll'(1978).
In 1980, Ronnie James Dio replaced Ozzy Osbourne as the singer of Black Sabbath... he rejuvenated their career but was ultimately fired in 1982 after only 2 albums.
In 1983, Ronnie James Dio formed the heavy metal band Dio... He kept Dio going w/ various members until he passed away from cancer in 2010 at the age of 67 (R.I.P.) ... Ronnie James Dio is a legend in heavy metal music... his legacy of music w/ 4 bands is exceptional 🤘🤘
I've enjoyed this song for many years. Dio, Blackmore, and all the members of Rainbow are legends. A few years back I saw this documentary on the History channel and I immediately wondered if this was the basis for this song. Just food for thought. I have also included the Wiki link.
In the 9th century engineer Abbas Ibn Firnas is considered to be the first human to fly with the help of a pair of wings built by silk, wood and real feathers.
*Armen Firman is the Latinized name of Abbas Ibn Firnas. "According to some secondary sources, about 20 years before Ibn Firnas attempted to fly he may have witnessed Firman as he wrapped himself in a loose cloak stiffened with wooden struts and jumped from a tower in Córdoba, intending to use the garment as wings on which he could glide. The alleged attempt at flight was unsuccessful, but the garment slowed his fall enough that he only sustained minor injuries."

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_ibn_Firnas
I believe that violin sound is Tony Carey on keyboards. Watch the concert video. 🔥
Nobody but Dio can sing like this...(legend)
This one is a real banger!
Little Guy in medieval tights outfit walks out on stage... Starts singing, and suddenly he's Goliath!!!
The video to this was awesome
The song is like a distant cousin to Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir. The guitar solo with the Middle Eastern scales and the Middle Eastern sounding main riff. Cozy’s pounding drums very similar to John Bonham too.
I love Ronnie James Dio. His voice is amazing. I also love the guitar solo, using the arabic scale 1,2,b3,4,4#,5#,6,7 fits perfectly with the theme of this tune.
Great reaction guys..🤘🤘
Amazing things happen when your mind is open. ❤❤❤
