Blackmore's Night - Celebrating 25 years of magic by Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night

With the release of the 25th anniversary edition of SHADOW OF THE MOON in March 2023, we take a look here at some beautiful vision of BLACKMORE'S NIGHT in Paris for the PARIS MOON live concert performance, also featuring interviews with Candice Night & Ritchie Blackmore as they discuss the genesis of the band.

I still admire Ritchie's courage to follow his passion instead on monetizing only on the gone Hard Rock days. He is a true artist.

[@craigphillips6308]

It surprises me how many Deep Purple and Rainbow fans do not know about Ritchie's incredible work with Blackmore's Night.

[@johntrgovich4717]

Yea it's like the put blinders and e😢ar plugs in and refused to try to listen to his other marvelous creation

[@michelleg953]

I didn't know about this until 2015...but I am a big fan of all Ritchie's music

[@shilowaters6082]

Ritchie Blackmore kicks ass soo much with a guitar. Absolutely has made my crappy life better throughout the years

[@gaelbgalbar9307]

Yep, I'm guitarist and Ritchie is such an influence! Whenever I play metal or hard, I think 'bout him, Tony Iommi n Jimmy Page, Hendrix too, the hard rock pioneers with their strong music personalities n differences.

[@stevelamb6836]

Ritchie is one of the great survivors of that 60’s-70’s rock period, and he escaped being destroyed by it, by doing his own thing and not conforming. He has created a new genre of music which works beautifully and his partnership and marriage to Candice is the icing on the cake. I just love what they have created….bravo !

[@timothyrice1621]

It's nice to see Ritchie happy.

[@richardwarfordjr.5622]

Richie Blackmore is great his strings set the mood

[@boataxe4605]

[@rward393]

[@blackskunk54]

Absolutely, no pigeonholing

[@Digmen1]

A little magic for this disenchanted world💀

[@rowenamckee1433]

Your music has brought so much joy to my life, as well as my daughter's. Your harmonies and interplay with the various instruments is balanced and beautiful. The lyrics are meaning. Thank you so much! ❤

[@Digibeatle09]

Ritchie (together with Candice) began a journey 25 years ago - a journey that involved Ritchie setting out in a new musical direction - can't say I've been able to follow that particular journey (I hark back to the glory days of Deep Purple and Rainbow) - however, I wish him and Candice all the best on this special anniversary - there appears to be a great number of people who enjoy the music of Blackmore's Night.

[@guitarnickbluealgroovyrus]

[@rotaryspeaker]

A 25th Anniversary European Tour would be amazing!

[@johnrush521]

Ritchie is my hero and Candice is my dream. Renaissance recreated

[@MyLifEcademy-sr4hy]

Ritchie has always been an inspiration...and I never got into this because I figured he'd just "Blackmorize" it like Rainbow. Twenty-five years later...maybe I will give it a deeper listen.

[@user-uf7tr7ho4c]

БЛЭКМОР ЧУДО ГЕНИЙ ВО ВРЕМЕМЕНИ ОБАЖАЮ

[@adamoskrajinovic4528]

...Candice&Ritchie...☯️🌌

[@annrose5499]

Juntos perfectos

[@7-_Kh]

Если наш мир не исчезнет, то этого Музыканта будут помнить очень долго. Не сегодня и не завтра, но в будущем его музыка получит истинное признание.

[@VektorLomonosov]

;) like! (#1;)

[@rubenbarahona]

5:32 The thumb is from Alien

[@marslennon1]

❤🧡💛💙💜🤎🤍🖤

[@bryanstevens7409]

Blackmorization!

[@wesburrough]

What kind of acoustic does he have around the 7:33 mark?

[@SwisstedChef2018]

She seems very Hippy to me. But he loves her and she loves him and at the end, that is all that counts.

[@mr.brenman2132]

I don't see that at all. She seems like a wonderful women.

[@weterstranstwii1277]

оккк

[@unciclistacontraelsistema8620]

Ritchie could keep making LPs and touring with Rainbow, right until 2000, he was in excellent health and condition...but women have too much power... I must say I don't like anything of BN music, but Candice's voice is really smooth, deep and such nice...

[@mr.brenman2132]

That's not what he wanted to do. It's not your life. Blackmore's Night rules and he's wanted to do this type of music for years.

[@markbirchette8740]

Agreed about the snobbery in music Ritchie. Can you actually be that narcissistic that you don't know you're seen and known as one biggest snobs ever in music? You're brilliant but a total snob. It shouldn't be there by your own words on this film. I still love the music you have made in all it's incarnations.

[@The-Punnkk]

awful

[@mr.brenman2132]

Blackmores night rules.

[@eduardoalmeida61]

Ritchie Blackmangina!

[@sn00pgreen]

lol

[@mr.brenman2132]

For playing the music he wants to play? He's said he wants to play this type of music since the 70's.

[@mr.brenman2132]

​@@sn00pgreenHorribly unfunny.

[@dnx112]

25 years of misery. Long live Ronnie James Dio.

[@mr.brenman2132]

I doubt you have listened to any of his new music. I doubt he cares what you think either way.
