"I see a rainbow rising." I get goosebumps every time I hear that line for well over 30 years now.

[@Nikke4thawin]

Word!

[@uncletom618]

Man, what a great reaction. The line that sends me, “My Eyes Are Bleeding”. Thanks Richard, who turned me on to such GOLD in the ‘70s, Im remembering you today!

[@mattiasorre1718]

Yeah, "My eyes are bleeding" has been doing that to me for 30 years too lol

[@logue444]

Same. I first heard this song over 40 years ago and I had tears rolling by the end of it after all this time.

[@barryrammer7906]

It's universal feeling we all get. Me too

[@iDEATH]

Dio is easily one of the best rock/metal vocalists ever and this is one hell of a song to introduce yourself to him! Stargazer is still one of my favourite songs. It gives me chills and goosebumps every single time I listen to it.

[@chrisskalski7292]

Ritchie Blackmore should be mentioned more often with the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Richards and Beck as an all time great.

[@JoshCarlos1998]

Dio was such a great vocalist.

[@sabina1118]

Yes, Awesome!!

[@flenzya1830]

The greatest metal vocalist of all time.

[@tedcabana]

How could anyone "NOT" be impressed with Dio, and Blackmore's Rainbow. Modern rock, mixed with baroque, Renaissance, and medieval-classical influenced fusion, which started a whole new genre of rock music, lasting decades to come. A band that influenced, and launched thousands of musical careers. And it was awesome to see her so entranced by Ritchie's guitar solo. She looked like she was about to sploosh all over her chair. Thats just how I felt when I first listened to Ritchie. Unbelievable! I am happy to see the music of my generation still appreciated. Thank you for that.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Ronnie was a master of stagecraft, he stood 5'4" but had a voice as big as a mountain and could captivate an audience all the way to the rafters with his incredible stage presence. Rainbow had 3 solid albums of music with Ronnie, not a bad song to be found on any of them, Temple of the King is a standout from the first album, a beautiful bard's ballad.

[@gregorykenfield3134]

I've heard this song literally hundreds of times by now, and it still blows me away...easily one of the greatest metal songs ever written. Ronnie James Dio (RIP) was simply the greatest metal vocalist of all time. His career spans decades...prior to joining Rainbow he was in a band called Elf (different style, but great in their own right). After his brief time in Rainbow, Dio went on to have a legendary stint with the band Black Sabbath, as well as a very successful solo career with his band Dio. Ritchie Blackmore is easily one of my all-time favorite guitarists, and a true legend. His previous band was Deep Purple, which he left to form Rainbow...he's currently playing medieval folk music with the band Blackmore's Night. Cozy Powell (RIP) was one of the true journeyman drummers in metal...he literally played with seemingly everyone. My two recommendations for future Rainbow reactions are the live recording of the song "Mistreated" and the song "Catch the Rainbow" (a ballad, and my favorite Rainbow song of all), preferably live as well. God bless!!

Hard, classical rock - not metal.

[@gregorykenfield3134]

@@markgordon2260 ...I disagree. But we both know that the labels aren't precise.

[@intensetornado]

I agree on all points. "Temple of the King" is another great one, and Dio's "Holy Diver" album is great metal from start to finish.

[@RushfanUK]

Elf were really going nowhere, 2 albums in 7 years back then was heading for oblivion, no matter how great his voice was I think without Blackmore and the 3 albums Dio made with him Dio could very well have never been the star he became.

[@ryansettani9189]

Agree DIO was 33 when Richie took him along , 33 is old in this business /,it takes a lot of luck and timing , more important than skill etc , my favorite DIO records are the 3 rainbow records actually

Watching you react, this is exacly what it felt like back in 1976. ps. Rainbow - Live in Munich 1977, it's all on youtube, indulge yourself. Saw Rainbow a couple of months after this was filmed and they were mindblowing.

[@philroach9402]

i'm surprised that no one has mentioned "Light In The Black" it's often seen as pt 2 of this song, same lineup, same album, same brilliance

[@tapio7133]

[@luisnunes3863]

Good point!

Yes, its clearly part two of this story.

[@langdalepaul]

It always bothers me that Stargazer gets literally all the attention, when it’s not even complete without Light in the Black.

[@martingriepentrog4652]

I could not agree more. For some reason "A Light in the Black" has become the forgotten twin sister to "Stargazer". It really deserves it's place in the sun. That being said, "Tarot Woman" would also make a great song to react to.

[@chrislee1907]

So glad you've discovered this band! Rainbow was guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's vehicle after he left Deep Purple (you may have heard of them - Smoke On The Water? If you want to check out another Rainbow epic try Gates Of Babylon - same singer, but one of the best guitar solos ever. Enjoy!

[@Brandon_Beaty]

It's a truly powerful song and I recall my first time hearing it. Rainbow was incredible and they have many great songs. "Man On the Silver Mountain" is another classic. The powerful vocals of Ronnie James Dio are key to it all. He replaced Ozzie in Black Sabbath and also had a solo venture. Great music. So happy for you to be able to explore this music!

[@leebay6093]

Saw them live in 76, Australia, still blows me away hearing them, best concert I’ve ever been too, hands down amazing

[@HunterLundVancouver]

This is one of my top five all time songs, every single time I listen to I get chills and am so emotionally invested in it. I love watching first time reactions to it, like your's, everyone is positively blown away by it, thank you for sharing your reaction to it, I've loved many of your reactions previously, but this is my favorite. Thank you! 💞

[@jalkabre5904]

Highly recommend two KZbin videos of the live performances of Rainbow from the 1977 Munich concert. The song "Mistreated" is the best vocal performance for Ronnie James Dio, and the song "Catch the Rainbow" which has Ritchie Blackmore's best solo. The whole show is incredible, so if you like these then check out the other songs from this concert "16th Century Greensleeves, Kill the King, Long Live Rock n Roll, Still I'm Sad, Man on the Silver Mountain, and Do you Close Your Eyes."

Sabina- you got to experience two of the absolute LEGENDS of rock at the same time... Ronnie James Dio on vocals, and Richie Blackmore on lead guitar.

[@erikthompson619]

What do you mean, two? Make that five. (That's Ritchie, with a t, by the way). Cozy Powell - arguably THE definitive heavy metal drummer of all time, who everybody who is anybody played with at some point. Jimmy Bain - bass titan who went on to co-create the most classic Dio albums by Ronnie's side. Tony Carey - keyboard wizard who since decades enjoy great success as a solo artist, especially in his current home country Germany. In short, this is a super lineup from beginning to end. You guitarists really need to grasp that the world, or any given band, doesn't revolve all around you ...

[@jerryoliphant4480]

You forgot Cozy Powell he is a badass on drums and Tony Carey on keyboards. That whole lineup on Rainbow Rising

You have stumbled on to one of the greatest songs on rock history, sung by what many consider to be the greatest voice in rock/metal history. Ronnie James Dio was so incredible. You should check out Gates Of Babylon by Rainbow, or some of his Black Sabbath tunes Heaven and Hell, Sign of the Southern Cross, and Children of the Sea. Then he has a whole catalog of his own band DIO to choose from. I recommend Don’t Talk To Strangers and Last In Line.

[@hvymtl241]

I'm so glad the younger generations are discovering this music and being blown away, just like us old rockers when it first came out. I am sad that they don't get to experience Dio live. The man was a metal troubadour and watching him was an experience you never forget. RIP Dio!!!

I'm generally no fan of drum solos, but Cozy's drum solo in Gothenburg has forever left its burnt in mark in my mind. Literally (as the drummer stage was lifting from the main stage and moving towards the public when a blindning flash ended the drum solo, and it was impossible to see anything for at least 15 seconds).

When I was 4 years old, I loved watching the animated video of "Love is all" by Roger Glover & guests. I remember clearly that the singer's voice really stood out for me; I used to call him "the singing frog". Then as a teenager, I discovered Dio's album "Holy Diver". I loved it, and I found out about his previous albums with Black Sabbath and Rainbow. And to my surprise, Dio also was the voice behind the singing frog! The guy was a legend with a singing career spanning 5 decades. And were he still alive today, he would undoubtedly have added a bunch of years to it.

As he would write later "Life's fantasy, to be locked away and still to think you're free" This band is Ritchie Blackmore's band, I consider him the greatest rock arranger of all time and one of its greatest composers and certainly guitar players of all time.

Short time later the rainbow rised in my hometown and I was there. It was a kind of lifetime experience. But I also saw Blackmore rolling his eyes, when he noticed how much the crowd adored Dio. Then I realized that Dio would not stay forever in the Band. Blackmore didn‘t tolerate other gods beside him. But it lasted longer than I thought. Fortunately ! More than 40 years later I'm still blown away when I listen to that song and the one and only Dio. Love it !

Cozy Powell was a highly regarded session drummer who also backed up Michael Schenker. I recommend both Deep Purple (Made in Japan) and MIchael Schenker (his first solo album was his best, before that he was with UFO and the Scorpions).

Please react to Rainbow mistreated live in Munich 1977. It's another awesome song with the same guitarist Richie Blackmore who was originally in Deep Purple. You should react to both versions The deep purple version features a young David Coverdale on lead vocals and Glenn Hughes on backing vocals. David Coverdale would later form his own band Whitesnake.

[@toddvandell85]

Although, Mistreated was the one song on Burn David sang by himself. (I think Glenn's voice comes in at the end. His higher pitched tenor voice, compared with David's rich baritone. Same thing happened on the follow-up album, Stormbringer. "Soldier of Fortune" was sung by David Coverdale alone.) I've heard Ronnie's take on it. It's good, because it was already a great song before Ronnie got to sing it live. I still like David's version better. But Ronnie did it fair justice.

[@dancurtis461]

This is one of my favorite things, RDJ, Ritchie, Rainbow, this song in particular, and the entire album, getting the recognition they so deserve. They didn't get much airplay at the time, and certainly not this song. But... imagine being in high school in 1976, _really_ stoned, and hearing this at full volume for the first time. The first time I heard it, I actually needed a bus ticket to get back to my own reality. Note to Sabina, the track following this one is "Light in the Black" and it continues the story from the perspective of one of the former tower slaves. Every track on the entire album is excellent. Run with the wolf and Do you close your eyes were pretty much the only songs the radio played, you had to buy the album. SO great to see a new audience experiencing this.

Amazing response to what was probably Rainbow's greatest lineup and greatest song. Ronnie James Dio was one of the most genuine and loved rock vocalists of his generation. He loved and respected his fans and his death was one of the greatest tragedies in rock history.

[@Snowman29101963]

Great reaction, loved it! I grew up with the likes of Rainbow and before them, Deep Purple. I was lucky enough to see Rainbow live in Leeds (UK) in 1981, unfortunately the singer had changed by then. It was still a fantastic concert though and they did a great cover of Smoke on the Water. Listening to Richie (and Roger Glover) play that was a dream come true!

[@montebegaye8912]

Awesome. I seen him 4 times. The weather changes when this man played concerts outside.❤

[@derekmellino8316]

I love watching first reactions to this song. Dio was one of a kind. It’s amazing he never warmed up his voice either, just went out and sang powerfully night after night

[@errolgray185]

I was lucky enough to see Rainbow live in concert in Australia.what a great show they put on. I first saw the about 46 years ago. I was very young and it was pretty much the first live concert I saw. You should listen to Light in The Black.

[@philjones45]

It's rather exciting seeing a beautiful young woman getting totally lost in this song, reminds me of my youth.

[@dennissabe3277]

I was in high school when Rainbow Rising came out, so, living in Podunk Wyoming, my friends and I lost a lot of brain cells to this album.(not much else to do...lol). So...46 years later it is still one of my favorite albums of all time. This song is the one that clinched it for me.

Suitably dramatic and atmospherically 70’s. Love it!!

[@Stephanie-lm7sp]

Aaaahhh Dio. I heard this at 9!! My brothers 10 & 11 yrs older would only let me hang if I listened to THEIR music. Yeah. I was educated very well lolol You're not the only one. I love all music. But have my faves. Growing up I had a hard time finding girls who loved this. Their guys sure. I treaded lightly. I thank my brothers all the time. Boy did they shape my brain.....in a good way I love reaction vids for that very reason. I've seen all the greats. I need one of those T-shirts. 'Might be older but seen all the best concerts' Saw Tool 2x and wish I could have taken my oldest brother. He's listening from above!!! Love your channel Sabina!!!!

[@norkannen]

Saw Rainbow myself in 82 in Drammen Norway but with new singer Joe Lynn Turner. Richie tend to swap people in his hands😁😎

[@KarlXByrne]

I am with you Sister! I just arrived somewhat earlier. I'm 1970 born! Have the life you deserve!

[@garysweeny8913]

your so right... I listened to these songs all my life but never knew it was from a band called 'Rainbow'. Yes, I have been stuck listening to them for two weeks now. lol. Enjoy

[@vicprovost2561]

I have seen quite a few reactions to this song and yours is one of the best. It shocks modern viewers to see how good the best musicians of that era were. Dio is in any discussion for best heavy metal vocals as is Ritchie Blackmore for best Rock Guitar. For more Rainbow goodness try Man On the Silver Mountain. Another classic. Nice to see your interest in this great music, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@richardlucero165]

Absolutely amazing song! R.I.P RJD and Cozy Powell

[@aletechservice8263]

Glad you've found this band/album/singer! I was 13 years old when this album was released in -76 and I even got my parents into liking this kind of music. Main reason for getting hooked back then was a childhood friend, class mate and nowadays well known guitarist- Yngwie Malmsteen.

[@qivarebil2149]

It's always so much fun, how You KZbinrs react to this one. You all react in the exact same way! 1. Whole body moves to the startup drum solo. 2. Shakes her head from side to side at the initial riff. 3. Then - when he starts to sing, she loses the rhytm completely. Jaw drops to the floor, and raising eyebrows at the highest vocal notes, laughing when the song yet wasn't over. 4. The unevitable goose bumps at "I'm coming home" and to the end!

[@Beatz-he5xe]

And don’t forget…not only will every singer wish he could sound like him…he IS the father of the sign🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@gjergjkastrioti6701]

So Sabine, I am glad you arrived to this wonderful part of exploring the 70's rock, take a look at deep purple, and yes, I believe everyone who heard this for the first time get shocked and of course they have a lot of goosebumps, welcome Sabine

[@PlanetWomble]

Haunting note at 3.06. The raw natural talent of all band members is sublime.

[@mikerobinson883]

Glad you liked it. First time I heard this was while driving. I looked at my radio to see what sing it was. I already knew it was Dio singing because his voice is unmistakable. But saw it was rainbow. As soon as I got home, I played it on my surround system. I listen to this song once a week.

[@thomasmehle5737]

I have watched my fair share of people who experience videos and bands they've never known, by far the way you're doing it is best. Words on screen while music is on. I liked that about the way you did this kicking tune by the way. Subscribed for sure.

[@sabina1118]

Thanks and welcome!!! 😃🙏🏻

[@user-fr3sh1im2f]

Шедевр!!! Исполненый на одном дыхании. Это вечная музыка! Светлая память!!!

[@davemyers3960]

The late great RJD! I was lucky enough to see him live twice. MSG in '86 and at the Meadowlands in '87, both shows were mind blowing.

[@GARYBLONDER]

Has a case for being the first ever Symphonic Metal song. One of the finest rock tracks ever recorded. It has a very effective mastery of "The Drop" - a device where you build the song up to pause before an epic movement. e.g. TO SEE HIM FLY - BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHY!! (bom, bom, bombombom)[pause] NOW WHERE DO WE GOOOOOOOOOO

[@wolfman6351]

I was lucky enough to see this performance in the late 70,s tour at stafford uk and richie smashed his strat as always

[@TheMumbaGames]

I first heard this over 20 years ago and was blown away like yourself. I can't get enough of Ronnie Jame Dio he was incredible at what he did. Stargazer is my favorite from Rainbow next to The man on the silver mountain.

[@cliffbungalow9373]

Blackmore is a genius, out of his mind but a genius none the less.

[@timsears951]

pretty freaking awesome? I wa 14 yrs old and young budding drummer in 1976 when Rainbow & this kickass song came out ..blew my mind then and still does at 60 yrs old ..your reaction was spot on with every other reaction Ive seen of this song..super glad you loved it ...RIP Ronnie Dio

[@Bonehead777]

Dio always was and always will be one of my all time favourite vocalists. Whether with Rainbow, Deep Purple or his own work, there are an absolute ton of rock classics to listen to.

[@andrewcottrell7179]

Playing the trumpet when young gave him awesome power and perfect breath control.

[@tienmernen9277]

I heard this song first time on cassette in late 80's. But I forgot it for a decade. When I heard it second time in mid 90's it blew me away. Total classic, epic, monster riffs, great vocals, fantastic guitar and of course rest of the band is just great. Late Cozy Powell and late Jimmy Bain were legends on this genre. I have followed keyboard player Tony Carey's career also and he's still unbelievable great. Other song by the group I could recommend is Gates of Babylon.
