Pure class!! Ritchie Blackmore forever!!

[@AnnoyingSwedishGuy]

This is really one of the best live songs I've ever heard, man does it kick ASS!

[@ksmit]

RJD really put this song over the top........I remember when it was a pop radio hit in the 70's. Good memories. To me the world was fresh and unexplored. Hearing this song puts me back then............

[@DS77831]

God Bless you Ronnie!! Thank you for the wonderful music you gave us. There will never be another like you EVER!!!

In memory of Ronnie James Dio, the voice of Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow and Black Sabbath. One of Rocks greatest voices has fallen silent! May he rest in peace! Thank you for posting this!

[@johnmallios551]

Hard not to love what this lineup did with Rainbow; they were bleeping awesome.

[@bcdigiart141]

Guitar work at the END of the SONG.. is INCREDIBLE.... and what a great version

[@tmouncher1]

The best Rainbow line up by a country mile.

[@Themostancient]

I first bought this song in a bootleg tape store in San;aa, Yemen. This guy took me to Hell and back. R.I.P. , R. J. D.! You were something special!

[@wmmurdoch]

In memory of Ronnie James Dio, the voice of Ritchie Blackmores Rainbow and Black Sabbath! RIP! Thank you for posting this!

[@BflatBsider]

Goobye Ronnie. My favorite hard rock was the Rainbow stuff. He hit the right notes the right way. Long live my friend.

[@MarcoRocks3333]

God Bless You Ronnie! Thanks for all the great tunes! You Rock!!!

[@andrewsekay5104]

Love this song brings back so many memories 70,s etc

[@helibmw]

Eine Ansammlung der besten Hardrocker der damaligen Zeit. Jeder eine Klasse für sich!!! Rainbow at the 70´s rules!!!

[@rosadorevilla]

@Macak666 David Stone was the keyboard player in this concert in Munich 1977. He plays with Rainbow in the 1977-1978 tours and played on Long Live rock'n'roll album.

[@patrickmichels7888]

This has been officially released on dvd and cd as live in Munich 1977

[@musicalSFCat]

Remember seeing the Rainbow tour/show back in '78 at Winterland, S.F. They opened for REO Speed Wagon and stole the show. This was a fantastic lineup during Ritchie's Rainbow era with Dio on vocals! This song rocks!!

[@blindmellonchittlen]

Ritchie , pure soulful guitar. Brilliant.

[@MrKeithwelsh]

ritchie and ronnie blew people away when they toured the states in 1978 opening for reo speedwagon, it was a heavy sound, black sabbath was dying and van halen was new, nobody ever heard a voice like that it was awesome dio created his legend status and ritchie was the greatest guitarist,

[@Kedbuka]

Dio was so great...what a fantastic front-man. He had it all, voice, musical talent, presence, etc. I was privileged to see him several times, both solo and with Sabbath. The little guy could bring it.

[@barrycw1]

One of Ronnie's best - ever

[@knoelmag]

Ritchie Blackmore is the greatest, most underrated guitarist in history.

[@Ghaladd]

We could see how they all enjoyed playing. Awesome song.

[@zsxd55]

@TheTC Totally . The way he switches from one pickup to another to produce a tone change is exxxxxellleent!!!

[@coralgr]

Played here at Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa, I beleive one of his very last concerts, sooooo saad he is gone!!

[@ammaretto]

love this guy...a very under rated singer.

[@diemutha666]

Truly Gods!Even my 6-year old daughter sat on my lap mesmerized watching this clip.I hope she will learn the ways of the Rainbow...Thank you Dio for sharing your gift of life through song.Say hello to Cozy for me and enjoy the great gig in the sky :-)

[@drummer66perc]

Quanta falta tu fazes, cara!!! We miss you guy!!!! RIP from Brazil

[@62624a62]

A sad day for Metal. The talent, the voice, the writing and memorable performances will live on. We just weren't ready to let you go man.

[@MyGemini48]

Ronnie you are the Man and no one will ever be better

[@drummerbuzz]

R.I.P Cozy Powell, one of the greats! This group was a super high-octane power house of a rock machine!

[@bleem1]

YES!!!!! - Loved this group - saw Dio with Sabbath in '81, Cozy Powell with Michael Schenker in '80 - I would listen to their live album over and over and over

[@blindmellonchittlen]

@mjw9363 Thats awsome you got to see so many great groups back then, i did also, in the Bay Area. Ive seen most the ones on my list , but never saw Marino. The best place was called the old Waldorf in SF. Just a small club, ACDC played there I think 1978 , I actually was sitting in a chair with my feet on the stage, Angus was about 4 ft in front of me most of the time. One of the best shows of my life. My ticket was only $3.50. Saw alot of day on the greens too. Gave me alot of inspiration.

[@yasminaakar5334]

Richie is just awesome No comment to describe his talent ^^

[@billgian2000]

I wish Ronnie will be back healthy on stage where he belongs.Long live to the one of the best rock/metal voices ever!!!!

[@micktheMaag]

awesome opening.. never got a chance to see them.. but listened to many a song.. thanks for posting..

[@drummerplusone]

The guy on the guitar is Richie Blackmore; one of the greatest guitar players of all time. He led Deep Purple as well and now leads Blackmore's Knights.

[@sleeve51]

The things that man can do to a Stratocaster. Excellent video. Blackmore once said "I can blow anybody off the stage"! With his guitar prowess I believe him.

[@gruffgruff92]

awesome song, one of the best early heavy metal songs :D

[@AzMike1157]

No matter what Richie is playing on the guitar....You always know it's him....in a class all by himself. Just listen to the studio version of "Child in Time" The solo in the middle is that of a virtuoso.

[@boutcha1]

Dio is awsome! He and his wife are both very gracious people. Ronnie also kicked ass as a solo artist. He's a LEGEND!

[@phuckit007]

ritchie blackmore is one of the best guitar players......ever

[@monkeyeatbananananas]

i dont know about the haters but ill be listening to Rainbow for an eternity. LONG LIVE ROCK n ROLL

[@jasonamanda10]

This is back when rock n roll was something special it was all talent and not computers doing it all for you. REST IN PEACE DIO MAY WE MEET IN THE END MY FRIEND.

[@Hellias90]

You've lifted our spirit higher with your songs  with your eyes you've seen inside our souls we're gonna scream your name for ever cause you're already holy for us : DIO ,THE MAN ON THE SILVER MOUNTAIN R.I.P.

[@rckrbear]

One of the 70's hardest rockin bands!

[@ripley450]

the voice paul rodgers puts in a good lick as well

[@chymist66]

Rest in Peace Ronnie you rocked my world as a young man with Rainbow, Black Sabbath and with your own band Dio. Never forgotten ever!

[@elikokefalos]

i love this song !!!

[@CanicrossKrzem]

blackmore is the best ... he is very good guitarist .. and his style ... aaaaaaaaaaaaaa .. he is real god !!!!!

[@raztuss]

Awesome song, band and video. This was early 80's, that's Ronnie James Dio singing. I had this when RECORD ALBUMS were still selling, I got from Tower Records when they just opened in the West Covina Mall in Cali. Awesome!

[@Korea553]

Whoa dont ever call Blackmore a bad guitarist.... He's the whole damn reason my me and father started playing guitar and he's been a great influence on so many guitarists

[@wpsracing108]

Two days ago I got this Strat!! ahhhh shit I've been playing this for the last 48 hours - even got the intro pickup switching down pat Thank you Sir Blackmore

[@westlibertytopper]

I feel your pain. I was lucky. Got to see Rainbow when they toured the Rainbow Rising album at the old Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, PA.

[@bobmckay7237]

Richie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, What more can be said? Both are unique and together made "MAGIC"

[@AKITNETUA]

I met my very special friend listening this song!!!

[@mcnutty80]

i love that awesome guitar thing richie did at the start

[@markymark2500]

i just love it!! good ole old school

[@5150505]

Отличное выступление!!! Одна их лучших групп всех времён!!!! (Excellent performance! One of the best bands of all time! ")

[@user-up9dz3sx2g]

I will miss Ronnie James Dio. An amazing talent that transcended my youth >> saw him with Sabbath at Black and Blue, Rochester War Memorial 1982 >> then took my own child to see Heaven & Hell, Chevy Theater Wallingford ... last August.

[@TxGuitarPlayer]

Thanks for the memories Ronnie

[@lgwelsh1]

This is the real deal. Balls out rock and roll. Classic

[@slhanks4]

Wow. RIP to Cozy Powell and Ronnie James Dio. This is one of my favorite bands of all time.

[@2ybtz]

[@antoniojuliom.pereira.c.2633]

again and again amazing...i like it so much...

[@wanabdulganiwanabdulgani1467]

Rainbiw is my best band..richie blackmore is no.1 Rock will never die

[@KarnEvil4]

Hey, you have got to check out this band Den Of Thieves. I came across them from a Glenn Hughes view. These guys are amazing! The guitarist plays a strat like Ritchie. Its called Killing For Love. Awesome tune! Great lead.

[@Harald0208]

Rainbow is really good, love Dios and Blackmores Music

[@Tyleriscoolx2]

FROM WIKIPEDIA... Rainbow performing in Munich in 1977. The electric rainbow that spanned the stage used so much power, it frequently interfered with the guitars and amplifiers.

[@witchman1]

RJD one of the nicest guys in Rock and Roll, still preforms with the same passion as he did here. Rock and fucking Roll.

[@MrBrianJross]

RIP to a great voice that will live on in yr songs Ronie James DIO!!

[@TheGeezer88]

Thank you "rainbow" for this song!

[@rockcritic]

Richie and Ronnie James. Thank you. RIP RJ DIO

[@hitmanofgreece]

dio is a very great voice just amazing!!!

[@punkrockefeller]

page sighted blackmore as 1 of his greatest influences.

[@chihawks2010]

I saw Purple with Gillian and Coverdale and Rainbow.' Blackmore was always worth the 6 bucks a ticket back then.

[@wpsracing108]

Huge memories with this vid! Must have played that intro 60000 times back when I first saw this!! Blackmore/Dio - the greatest

[@reyabcde]

that song rulzz...one of the best guitar players EVER...

[@renomj41]

Long Live DIO!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Ronnie you live on forever!!!! Man on the Mountain!!!

[@581437642]

dio tu eres y sequiras siendo mi idolo que descanses en pas

[@eeby7]

Oh yes memories of '78!

[@cuttlefisch]

A great, great song!!! This song would be an ideal cover for Blackmores Night, methinks...

[@metalhead11b]

Ive heard this song played a ton of ways, this by far the best performance of it hands down through Dio's career. Wish I could of been around to see this live, what a show!!! The raw energy of this one performance puts everything done in the 80's to shame. Long live the King, RIP DIO!!!!

[@dioneck]

they are the best group off ever

[@blindmellonchittlen]

Cleanist guitar tone for heavy guitar player, if you can think of another one, let me know. Good luck, Love it.

[@CharlesHidalgoJr]

R.I.P.never will there be rock like this again...I wish I was wrong.

[@juanmaza9474Nodoyuna]

Esto aún me emociona y me pone el pelo de punta ( Y eso que ya no tengo pelo )

[@heavymetalgary]

Rest In Peace Ronnie! You Truly Are The Man On The Silver Mountain!

[@penthouse10]

RIP Ronnie...the man on the silver mountain

[@Novemblr14]

I wish I would have been born In the 50's or 60's so I could have been alive in the 70's and 80's :[ I hate only being fifteen :P This is the best music ever

[@doorsfan58]

I've seen Ritchie with Purple, and Dio solo and with Sabbath, but never got to see Rainbow. Damn shame! I see my man Cozy doing what he does best on the drums...RIP Coz!
