Blackmore's Night - Fires At Midnight (Live in Paris 2006) HD

[@ChrisDarkin]

Little did I know that Ritchie Blackmore would be a thread throughout the tapestry of my life from the 70's. Im so honoured to have been here to witness and enjoy proper music from him and others like him.

[@Chappomusic]

Couldn’t have said it better . Feel the same .

[@spitelis]

This here, ladies and gentlemen, is art. Pure, pure art.

[@rawarawrawaraw7719]

охи, then xeris

[@opisthokonta]

Deep Purple, Rainbow and Now Blackmore's Night Ritchie is the fucking boss! Number #1

[@RobertoMartinez-pn7un]

Joab Basualdo Gago Blackmore is god!!

[@opisthokonta]

Roberto Martinez Agreed!

[@kralle12a]

Not many (if any at all)has had a run like him. And it is god stuff not play as many styles as possible. All is top stuff. High quality from the start to the end!

[@TheNatureboy64]

I heard some fools on KZbin saying Ritchie has lost some of his skills over the years, I sure don't see it. I'm still in awe of him!!!

[@hieinh]

Present day his speed is lost by his arthritis

[@robertjohnston5909]

Richie is aswsome

[@ronwhitaker5486]

Yes, fools they be !!!

[@RicardoKQ]

Normal, with age...

[@Dachshund.Dadddy]

He is one of the rare guitar players that can five finger pick a guitar along with Lindsey Buckingham

[@manmoth_1990]

The thing that Ritchie improvises at 8:10 is just pure genius. Most amazing acoustic guitar playing I've ever heard.

[@garythomasgarythomas1607]

Ritche is a guitar god. Hands downs

[@davidjohnson1690]

Called classical guitar. Richie sometimes played classical rifts during Deep Purple days (themes from Bach sonatas, etc.). Listen to Al Dimeola sometime for Jazz-Classical-Fusion guitar. Richie is well trained in multiple aspects of guitar playing, which is very unusual among rock guitarists. And Blackmore's Night maybe even invented this genre of Renaissance Rock, which demands some classical influence. Who else could play it?

[@margaretallstrom-luttrell8511]

@@davidjohnson1690 part -maybe most?- of what I dig about them is how much they draw from medieval chamber music (which is itself one of my favorite genres), and then he just chucks in the contemporary classical guitar and it's just genius.

[@Richard-lu8ck]

Well I don't know shit about guitars, but I'll take your word for it.. This is amazing to listen to!

[@HeavyLexer]

One of the most tender and lovely female vocal in the entire music history!

[@juanvictorsegoviahernandez4767]

ME ENAMORÓ ESA VOZ

[@craigbesemer5361]

ritchies playn is better than ever.....dp,rainbow to this .....amazing!

[@LucasWeissenborn]

That acoustic improvisation is just beauty in it´s purest form.

[@xavierbalzola880]

I have ALWAYS ...absolutely LOVED his playing...so unique...so moody...so tasteful and lyrical.......the guy has been influencing everybody for 40 years..

[@ЕвгенийНеволин-й2ц]

Уже больше 40 лет. Извините.

[@benitoherrero3895]

One of the best guitarists of this world, not only for the notes but also for the silences he does when playing.

[@pistolero2883]

5:00 best solo ever ...Ritchie is just a genius

[@mikeparker2520]

the one on "Shadows of the Moon" isn't bad either...

[@jalkabre5904]

It's amazing how I have been listening to Ritchie for 40 years and he still amazes me with his talent.

[@stamouel]

Ritchie is just a true genius...AMAZING!!!

[@Ирина-ф9ф4э]

Вот это тасочки!!!❤❤❤ Какой кайф!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉 Просто волшебство!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@edhartman5466]

Such a great delight seeing and hearing The Sisters of the Moon performing!

[@johanpaulussen-s6o]

This music is brilliant and full of mystery; bravo Blackmore!!!

[@ralphyboy25]

Candice's singing is clear and crisp, Ritchie's playing is magnificent as always...... but credit is also due to the powerful contribution by the backup singers.

[@ralphyboy25]

netwitch56 :-))) I circle back around to BN all the time. Their music has a quality to it, unlike anything else. So if it is hours, then so be it, enjoy.... :-))

[@blackcat6905]

Good choice! It's a very talented band. I like them.

[@michelelaraia7358]

@netwitch56 I will too,especially to this!

[@edhartman5466]

Yes, The Sisters of the Moon add to this great performance! Really miss this lineup.Thankful for the recording!

[@jaxxzenpharaoh2526]

I only wish to ride with them into the moonlit horizon to the Scarborough Faire that awaits all down the line... the road that goes ever on and on... down to the door where it began... how far ahead the door is gone... .4nd I must follow if I can...

[@josephanders56]

I think you are correct. Mr. Blackmore hasn't lost a thing. As a matter of fact he has gained. As a guitarist and entertainer he is still climbing. He also gained a very beautiful wife and partner. Voice and looks of an angel. Hope they tour soon.

[@kimikoskinen8299]

Wow, this is the best musical point of RB's career. By far. Amazing guitar solos. Candice also sooo very good with her singing. I have seen them on stage 8 times and they are just magical.

[@michelelaraia7358]

Absolutely bright Candice!

[@sportster16301]

Certainly their best concert ever.

[@scottprather5645]

Some of the best music there is on the planet. So high and uplifting

[@rinnevanderhoff2995]

WONDERFUL THANK YOU,BLESS YOU ALL LOVE YOU.

[@xTigressStylex]

Wish I could hear this live 😍 this is one of my very favorite songs, reminds of those stories and legends about magicians witches and wizards 🔥

[@kimikoskinen8299]

Thank you Ritchie for amazing playing. Guitar lessons for us mortals. But also beautiful singing of Candice. Thank you thank you!!!

[@ПолГлобал]

R.Blackmore is the Best. Number 1 guitar player!!!!!!

[@bettierusso5410]

I will forever remember listening to this song in my headphones at Midnight on a night that had a HUGE red Harvest Moon that was actually a Eclipse of the Century. I lay on the ground with blankets and watched a unbelievable meteor shower with falling stars constantly. The planets were literally in line, and the cosmo's were jumping and I listened to this as they fell...unreal memories and experience. I lay there for hours that night out in our 5 country acers. Thank you guys..magical memories

[@OneSupreme08]

This music and Ritchie guitar might have healing power

[@ralphyboy25]

This is the first time I heard this particular live version, and immediately decided it was 'Favorite worthy'. Starts off as one of their typical Medieval-Renaissance-ish faires, but then when the two women back up singers start with that haunting chorus around 4:38 giving it a very rich sound, which at 5:00 seques into Richie's 6 minute weaving and wandering acoustic journey, at 10:56 the chorus resumes along with the full band joining in for the culmination. Excellant construction and delivery

[@Postoronyi89]

From Russia with love!

[@igorvkuznetsov3518]

Ritchi the most talented guitarist -- woldwide :)) I am glad he left Deep Purple that Noise Making Machine :))

[@my1860309vn]

How could someone dislike this????

[@dustintaunton3344]

closed minds

[@giorgoschantzis]

I think that Candice Night's voice is awful! It's like she comes from some stupid reality show for singers or the fucking eurovivion contest. This is how somenone could dislike this! It's just that Ritchie's greatness fixes all that. That's how great he is.

[@sevenseer1121]

woah! controversial!

Amazing, king of the guitar ! ♡

[@sararapotata]

All about magic and natural, not some kind of shit like these days

[@draculin1911]

It´s eternity since I first heard this one - my first from BN...and my jaw fell. I did not pick it up since then, as they keep making this magical music. And their live performances easily match studio recordings, what is quite rare in this days.

[@rickysango4152]

Beautiful! Some how I find It a little similar to the song Russians recorded by Sting...

[@lawrencetucker9322]

I saw Deep Purple at the Fest House in Frankfurt in 73 or 74. Freaking awesome. Deep Purple "In Rock" is huge. He shreds in Highway Star, one of my all-time fav songs. This music is beautiful, as is his wife.

[@massimomarchesin8708]

Candice is the beast master. She tamed Richtie. But she haven't circumcised him. She had released the real Ritchie Blackmore. This is what I love.

[@hieinh]

that finger work is incredible

if a little sloppy at times .. but great composition.

I found Blackmore's Night only recently and absolutely love it! The music, lyrics and voice are so rich. The music inspires me to write and sing more. It is a pleasure just to sit and listen to everything that's going on, all the voicings, harmonies and that voice! Thanks Blackmore's Night! P.S. I also enjoy the voice of the Night! ;-)
