I love what a gentleman Roger Glover was. Booted from DP and then accepted to produce and play with Rainbow. Don't forget what a monster bassist he was keeping up with RB the whole way. Awesome.
I've seen almost every tour from 1973 - 1987 plus 1997 and 2017 (BN). He was always extremely exciting to watch! But from the 2017 BN show, I respect him so much more because he shifted from being guitar king to being a past legend who advances younger musicians.
Two incredibly great albums from an incredibly great 80's era. Difficult to cure being my favorite. Joe and Bobbie put an amazing amount of energy and drive back into Rainbow.
That solo riff is STILL an absolute killer. The way he (RItchie) performs and plays it with ease, is amazing. I think this time of Rainbow's era was it's best.
@@neonknight-1522 just about all the singers that were a part of Rainbow were great in their own way but truth is to be told Dio was on a different level
My friend Mike had this whole show on audio, taped from a King Biscut radio show. I had never heard them before and figured it was some sissy shit with a name like Rainbow. This was about the time 'Street of Dreams' was on the radio. I listened to it, and the performance absolutly blew me away, and I became a dedicated Rainbow fan ever since. Couple of years later I was glad to find this show on video.
@ Blackmore GOLD!! It's just so f****** erratic!! Blackmore's a Madman on this song he's playing and beating the s*** out of his strat at the same time. ( his Strats were customized BUT there's no Floyd Rose or locking nut on that -it's taking a thrashing and staying in tune!) Ritchie at his pinnacle👍💪🤘💖
I saw this concert when I was 16 in Roanoke VA and I can see those eyes and spot light like it was yesterday.... I'll be 50 in Nov. :) R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio!
@@Epicusername0412 and Blackmore also used a reel-to-reel tape recorder to boost even more the signal, making it louder than it already was! Surprises me he isn't completely deaf by now
The very first MTV live concert ever broadcast. This was at the San Antonio Convention Center Arena, opening bands that night were Saxon(only played five songs, unfortunately) and then Riot(with Rhett Forrester on vocals- not Guy Speranza, unfortunately). Rainbow open with this song, if I remember correctly...
wow that into is just intense!!!! blackmore was the best not sure why hes doing his ferry music now its like going from a hardcore lumberjack to a gay office worker with a pink tie. maybe he was afraid of his own amps and decided to stay unplugged.lol
Definetely vocals are way better in San Antonio and Glover...that bass. Overall I rather the sound of this even though the Japan version may have better guitar
ritchie blackmore will never break free ...listen to the Music of Oscar Peterson thats freedom fantastic technic and music from the heart ...blackmore will never enter the high of Music and he knows for himself much better Gilan break free and Blackmore knows thats why ritchie hates ian...long live Rock and Roll i love you ronnie
+ Jan Mennerich Could you explain what you are saying as it makes no sense. Ritchie plays 100% free and from the heart, he has the ability that few have that allows the music that you're feeling silently flow through your being and become audible.
I love what a gentleman Roger Glover was. Booted from DP and then accepted to produce and play with Rainbow. Don't forget what a monster bassist he was keeping up with RB the whole way. Awesome.
He is still in Deep Purple.
@@kindchild2895 He came back but was booted along with Gillan by Ritchie before the Burn album which has Glenn Hughes on bass.
Very well put!!
Ritchie was so damn exciting to watch during this phase of his career!

@@jimmiefrancis142 He's not a past legend. He's just a legend. Simple as that.
He sure was.. after seeing this in 1983 I had to learn to play.. so inspiring
@David Topchiev Listen to Ritchie doing the same song in 2019 and you'll cry for another reason.
Two incredibly great albums from an incredibly great 80's era. Difficult to cure being my favorite. Joe and Bobbie put an amazing amount of energy and drive back into Rainbow.
Ritchie Blackmore true pioneer , a guitar genius.
METAL MAIDEN el mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos, ritchie blackmore!!
SALEMS RISING sounds similar to yngwie rising force
You mean that jagoff Engvain Malmsteen sounds like Ritchie, punk ass
@@FrancisAristotle Other way round you idiot. Yngwie just copies Ritchie.
@@FrancisAristotle Alcatrazz - Jet to jet
My uncle had a worn out VHS with this in the 80s. I still love it!
Ritchie the best guitar player of all Time 👍👍👍👍👍

The Dio years were the best but this is a great performance.
@@markgowans this guy has a great voice as well though
@@neonknight-1522 just about all the singers that were a part of Rainbow were great in their own way but truth is to be told Dio was on a different level
The fucking power here is unbelievable.
Spotlight Kid (LIVE 1982 SAN ANTONIO)
Rainbow 1982:

Несколько раз слушал! От Rainbow вообще без ума!!! Независимо кто солист!
Roger Glover was without a doubt the coolest looking bass player in the '80's!! Saw them twice in this lineup. Solid live band!
Mais Preto é monstro demais! Grande Joe Lynn Turner, espetáculo de vocais. Falar de Rainbow é chover no molhado.

"Sissy shit" XLNT!! 😆
2:22 Amazing
Ritchie was definitely on fire that night.
Sinyal senggol brantem nih
Ese solo de guitarra es una gran influencia para las bandas power metal que surgieron después
That lick at 2:14 is the coolest thing I've ever heard
David Topchiev what does that even mean?

It's just so f****** erratic!!

@@lfader In indonesia this lick uses in a song of dangdut music, and the local guitarist nailed it

great Rainbow song!
Blackmore es extraordinario como guitarrista...

I was there👊🏼✌🏼🎶
Man Beethoven with an electric guitar -killer solo this one🙂
I'm in love with the stoplight.
Ritchie at his best here, when he still used those super loud Marshall Majors!
@@Epicusername0412 and Blackmore also used a reel-to-reel tape recorder to boost even more the signal, making it louder than it already was! Surprises me he isn't completely deaf by now
@@HerobrineGbriel I KNOW RIGHT!!! I once read he pointed the stacks to the singer on stage lmao, what an asshole, I like him
70-80s were best for Ritchie all period. Since that not his best.
I still have this vhs
Great live version of this Hardrock driving track!!!!!!!!!!!!!§🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
Gran canción, tremendamente infravalorada, subestimada...
Obrigado por tocar assim blackmore

Rhett is a God.
@@blackwrits I appreciate Rhett's singing much more now than I did at the time.
@@blackwrits I neglected to mention that I met him at a party in San Antonio Texas once...
Power!

Ritchie the Master and amazing voice of Joe Lyn Turner
Too bad the keyboard is a little too loud.
Why were Blackmore's opening riffs cut out of this video?
Blackmore does not forget to play rhythm part
ALRIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!
None finer; the Master! 🤘🐱🎶
Joe Lynn Turner❤️

Ritchie Blackmore and Joe Lynn Turner both wore wigs. Very convincing if you ask me.
BLACKMORE IS GOD!!
Difficult to cure indeed!
u lucky.all rainbow is awesome.they survived in an era were there wasnt much rock.there was new wave or metal,not much in between.
Kick ass
Roger Glover's Bass Tone!
Ричи талант.

Joe lynn Turner AT his PEAK

Spotlight kid gotta be about fucking Richie. How do you fuckup 2 great bands?
wow that into is just intense!!!! blackmore was the best not sure why hes doing his ferry music now its like going from a hardcore lumberjack to a gay office worker with a pink tie. maybe he was afraid of his own amps and decided to stay unplugged.lol
excelent!!! but i prefer JAPAN 1984, its better version
i prefer this one, vocals and solo are better
DALCOM NET agree
Definetely vocals are way better in San Antonio and Glover...that bass. Overall I rather the sound of this even though the Japan version may have better guitar
no way
This was much better than Japan.
Solistul Rupe !!! nu alta...
Sounds distorted
Solo se parece al solo beso de la bruja de Rata Blanca
Sorry.....noone like Ronnie James !!! Maybe because the rest of his name il DIO.*
* ( DIO in italian = GOD .)
Joe Lynn Turner, and Bobby Rondinelli also from italian background. Cool
ritchie blackmore will never break free ...listen to the Music of Oscar Peterson thats freedom fantastic technic and music from the heart ...blackmore will never enter the high of Music and he knows for himself much better Gilan break free and Blackmore knows thats why ritchie hates ian...long live Rock and Roll i love you ronnie

Jan Mennerich Are u high or stoned?
It's been 7yrs and He still Can't fucking Explain it ! I have a feeling I know what He Was trying to convey....but He's full of Shit !
Joe Lynn Turner's voice sounds trashed here.
