Saw Rainbow Straight Between The Eyes Tour 1982 with Krokus Lakeland Florida. Most excellent show.

[@deansley174]

Love the drummer's fills... the dude is awesome.

[@dolphin8077]

Outstanding. Thank you Master for all excellent music you gave us. Long live Rock n 'Roll. Long live Mr. BLACKMORE 🔥

[@tymburnham8729]

Still awesome! Love to see this in the states!!

[@user-pc6ym1et1g]

リッチーブラックモアはもう４５年まえからオイラの永遠のアイドルです😊👍👏👏 日本にまた来て欲しいなぁ🤣😭🙏👏👏

[@grobbler1]

I'm struck again by the similarities in Ritchie's manner of speaking to that of Ian Paice. Same inflections, mannerisms and pauses.

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

Rainbow is the world best hard rock band in Europe & the world.

[@bhobo09]

Ritchie wants to rock out on the Strat i understand! He is a legend! Was my influence! Love DP and Rainbow!

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

Ritchie Blackmore is the world best hard rock master Lead Guitarist in Europe & the world.

[@geezberry8889]

Romero good singer powerful strong voice definitely a metal singer

[@luisantoniopizzirani5224]

Ritchi Blackmore o melhor guitarrista de todos os tempos e ponto finalD A revista Rolling Stones não sabe nada e está desacreditada e não deveria ter circulação e sim fechada.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

opening frames are amazing ....steve morse, ritchie , and a slightly plump joe satriani ...all auditioning for ozzys new guitar player position ....incredible ...but none of them got it !

[@jjvanleeuwen1634]

Mr. Richie Blackmore, I love the way your playing the guitar! With all respect, your a greatest talent, it’s how you’re making This Band Rainbow . You’re a perfectionist your want thé best! And seriously, your right! This other music your making with a beautiful voice, your Lady, in Blackmore Night is so beautifully played, I feel if I’m in another timeframe. The frontman from nowadays Rainbow, is Wow, when’s The Band playing it’s all coming together, Super! I hope you to seeing your Music in the Netherlands 🙏

[@cricket8646]

Sad that Ritchie and Ian cannot pull it together one more time. I think a large outdoor festival would be the way to do that of course with other ig groups to pull in the crowds.

[@stormbringercoming8105]

Do you really think it would be good? I think it’s about 15 years too late. Age has caught up with both of them. Like all of us. You can only go to “that place” so many times. And age plays a factor. Especially when playing fast, aggressive music.

[@cricket8646]

@@stormbringercoming8105 I saw Carlos Santana about 2 months ago at New ampitheatre outside of Nashville. He is 74yo and he opened with a blistering 23 min instrumental and it was stunning !! I saw him 20 years ago and it was better this time. Iommi of Sabbath is still the riff master and hasn't lost anything. You could be right age affects some more harshly than others. Oh I just saw Alice Cooper a couple of months ago too and he is 73 yo he was all over the stage and at the top of his game. Another is Michael Schenker. I saw UFO in 1976 warm up for RUSH 2112 tour. Schenker just put out 2 albums over the pandemic he is a bit younger at 66 but it is very fast aggresive music ! The Rainbow shows that were done in Europe a few years were lacking though Ritchie has been playing with Blackmores Night too too long. He has softened a bit.

[@Nonna-Madonna]

спасибо! thanx for sharing

[@briankelly2337]

rainbow was so good live....wow, Ritchie is the man...

[@blakejohnson7148]

16:03 a rare smile from Ritchie.

[@chrisdinunno1737]

This is the same interview that he did with someone else and the same words and word for word. It's like, dubbed in. But outside of that this guy is a hero.

[@Rebel-Rouser]

I can't believe there wasn't even one mention of Ronnie James Dio in this video...

[@ikofire1]

no kidding this singer sounds modeled after him completely

[@ronaviz335]

Ritchie your in love with the spotlight. Your the spotlight kid

[@danmccambridge1045]

He was adequate. Ritchie is the SHOW, along with Jen 🎸🎸🎸🎵

[@carlhaydock1787]

I must admit I prefer blackmores night to this version of rainbow.

[@absyabsy7273]

super

[@salvanncentral]

A one-off reunion gig to honour Jon Lord would be a fitting closure to mk2

[@salvanncentral]

That slide solo on Stargazer FMD!

[@nathanevangello3376]

he says a lot with few notes, astounding technique as always, but the note selection was as intense as it gets.

[@blackpurple2230]

How is he doing that without a slide?

[@nathanevangello3376]

@@blackpurple2230 blackmores slide technique is rare and hard but brilliant, he place the slide over his palm and frets it by holding it with index finger up and the other 3 fingers down, so he doesnt need to put the slide on a finger, yet using one its hidden behind the fretting fingers. and the way he sounds with his technique its another achievement in itself if u ask me.

[@lobolonewolf8824]

I dig this version of Rainbow with Ronnie Ramero. Don't get me wrong he is no Dio. But nobody is. But I do like him better than Joe Lynn Turner. And Gram Bonnet. I think they should do a lot more original stuff.

[@stimpsonjcat67]

I never really understood why he talked about wanting to play the Strat until I saw that fretboard. I need to stop buying guitars and start wearing mine out.

[@cricket8646]

The neck is scalloped on purpose like a Lyre. Malmsteen uses a scalloped neck too. I am sure there are probably others as well. It makes it easier to bend notes however, by the same token the touch is very light and the accuracy has to be at the utmost level to accomplish getting the proper sound out.

[@WillieDines1]

Richie done the scalloping of the fretboard himself on his kriginal strat because he wanted to make is easier for the string be ds and also it allowed to him to play jsing a lighter tiuch, so he would be able tolay faster on solos if he wanted too. It took him about 3 weeks to do it because he was just using sandpaper and doing it carefully.

[@jonp3890]

@@cricket8646 I used to think that, that you would need an extra light touch, but you really don’t, unless you use 7 or 8 gauge strings. I have the Blackmore signature Strat, and I was bit worried about such a big purchase, about whether I would have the right touch for it, but the only way it goes out of tune is if you really press down hard, which almost nobody who has been playing for more than a year or two will do. But yeah, it sure does make bending notes a whole lot easier. No slippage at all. Awesome guitar, best Fender I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned a few.

[@korhanolcer1973]

Blackmore talking about friendship,i think he lost his mind.

[@rebb6160]

I thought Ronnie Romero didn't do the Dio songs well at All.Mistreated was Good.Jens Johansen. Awesome.Blackmore Awesome. Others? Ritchie is going to do what he wants to and I respect that.

[@ShiroiTengu]

Agreed, Jens was the best choice Ritchie ever could have made but the rhythm section was absolutely atrocious. Ritchie himself needed more time relearning the songs too

[@ShiroiTengu]

Everybody comparing Romero to "Dio in his prime" seriously need to get their ears checked.

[@c.reneebudrewicz461]

Ronnie Romero. Nope and Rainbow is my favorite band

[@christineayres7199]

Ronnie Romero such an underrated singer glad Blackmore gave him the big gig but seriously the drums need to be louder and guitar needs a loud of Marshalls behind it

[@RJW14]

Ronnie Romero was a great find for this tour.

[@PATROLBOAT73]

Romero a tad flat vocally, now he can see how farken great DIO was with his Pitch, anyway, still loved how frank and Honest RITCHIE Sounded.... 72 still a Legend as much as i hate CHILD IN TIME being crucified with Medieval flutes in Blackmore's Night. Heads up Ricardo !!

[@dazmondeo]

Romero in my view, seems to do a great job on the Gillan and Turner stuff, but tries too hard on the Dio stuff, bordering on karaoke. If he chilled out on the Dio stuff, then I think he would sound better.

[@nathanevangello3376]

@@dazmondeo im chilean as Romero, but a massive blackmore fan above all things first, and its incredible how Romero got the job, there arent singers in this lands up there to ritchies standards, in terms of stage presence, vocal range flexability and a tone of their own, Romero is a good singer but if ur work as a singer its just being a cheap Dio copycat, at this stage if ritchies life, then i guess money glues anything, but i got to give him credit for waiting for a sign, wich is a good new tune. after all its a chilean thing most of the time being a wannabe while not being good at it. there are fairly rare good singers down here, and theyre very few. gato alquinta was one of them, and fairly a voice ive never heard the same as him on no one, even his son and daugther whom sing very good, but never had that tone on their voices. thats why i say great singers around here its a rare thing no matter how hard most of us try.

[@Synathidy]

Not just a tad flat. A FULL SEMI-TONE flat in "Stargazer." That's extremely flat. Flat as a pancake smooshed by a steamroller

[@PATROLBOAT73]

@@Synathidy FLAP Jack with honey flat !!

[@alexanderpinto539]

For me, No DIO, no Rainbow, the same will be in No Richie, no Rainbow. They were the soul of Rainbow

[@daviddiangellidaviddiangel1304]

Sad.

[@elpablosky6300]

Ritchie Blackmore is authentic I can't say the same on Ian Gillan ( fake person ) he's still angry with Ritchie can turn the page .

[@kittykay8015]

Ritchie was once a great player. If he would get some real musicians and pay them right instead being so cheap I'd be more interested in paying to see Rainbow. This line up is a garage band version at best.

[@leecomber1062]

thing is because blackmore cant play fast like he used to if the rest of the band started really rocking out with crazy bass playing and smashing the drums complete with prancing around in open jackets and flares Ritchie would end up being drowned out completely.

[@ulfminstrel1772]

Hope this is the end of story,

[@Synathidy]

The singer did okay (though completely lacks the dimensionality of RJD's voice). Until "Stargazer." He literally sang the entirety of "Stargazer" a semi-tone below the correct pitch for literally every vocal melody in the song. It's like someone tuned a singing machine down a half-step. Unbelievable. I couldn't finish listening to that one. Painful. It's just obvious that his singing is pitched down exactly one half-step. The dissonance where I can recall RJD's correct vocal melodies is striking. I'm baffled. How can someone sing in the wrong tuning as if their voice is a guitar set in the wrong tuning? And how did Blackmore get into this situation? I must admit I'm a bit stunned.

[@borisstain1881]

Stargazer is completely out of tune.

[@Mark13091961]

This incarnation of Rainbow is very disappointing

[@joelombrdo]

The singer is excellent.

[@Zarathustra12]

He's not horrible. Nor is he a serious mistake.

[@peteyoung7665]

Get your ears checked.Ronnie is one of the best rock singers in the last 20 years and sounds a lot like Dio in his prime.

[@ShiroiTengu]

Agreed. Atrocious. He is so one dimensional. Dull and out of tune. Lame.

[@treborob]

Out of sync...pity..

[@BananaAlert]

That guy sings off key.

[@Synathidy]

You heard it, too. He was down a semi-tone too low in "Stargazer."

[@gregjohnson298]

This is the weakest lineup of Rainbow ever,no chemistry at all.

[@peteyoung7665]

Lineup?Who cares it’s Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow and as long as he’s there it doesn’t matter who the other guys are and friendship is more important then having some amazing player who is an asshole.And Ronnie Romero sounds a lot like Dio so it’s all good.

[@Synathidy]

@@peteyoung7665 Except that Dio didn't sing "Stargazer" a semi-tone flat. That's pretty bad for any "professional" singer. In sticks out like a sore thumb to any musician with a half-decent ear like nails on a chalkboard. Also, this guy totally lack's Dio's modulation control and smoothness. This guy's voice is somewhat one-dimensional by comparison.
