🌈 Rainbow was the first live concert I ever attended at around '78. I wasn't sure what to make of them and when the guys around me would all really get into it at certain moments, I couldn't figure out why. I wasn't sure what I thought about them at the time but I do love this song, and as I got older I appreciated some of their earlier tunes too. Overall, it was a cool time and I was glad I went to see them. I really liked my first taste of whiskey that night too. lol - I was about 14 or 15.

I had the Live album with that big Rainbow on stage 😁👍 What great days those were.

The man said at the age of 82 better listen to him he's listening to unbelievable music . Listen to the wise. Thanks Rosario

58 yrs old here. Used to cover this song back in the day when we ran out of our own stuff. I can still hit these notes but good god they are high, especially the end mod. Graham Bonnet is a monster and a force of nature.

Back in the day was August 1979 RRELEASED ,,

There is a video on here now where he was singing it back this past Demeber (2022). He still can reach tbose highs, but he sounds like an old man singing it.

[@CrimsonDusk]

This song has been my ringtone for more then 10 years. I've never been able to find a better one. I believe it's one of the greatest rock songs.

[@davidgentile5225]

Since jr high, i've listened to this, and at 56, i STILL love it! Combat vet, former cop and retired now-STILL ROCKING!

[@donnaullmann8606]

It is a pleasure to know this beautiful song via GOTG3, thank you James Gunn for bringing in this acoustic melody into the movie and it truly fits into it.

[@23theseeker50]

[@kevincurl8291]

Dio , Bonnett and Turner great vocalist for Rainbow loved them all

[@jlandon6028]

When you have a lead singer like this they're priceless!

[@takeshihiraoka5310]

After all these years this is still a great song. Great to see Cozy Powell again R.I.P.

[@gary6514]

Being young and listening to this classic....life was splendid then...so was the music.

[@airbrushpower]

Who's here after Guardians 3 trailer?! Loved this song growing up (born in '74) and so happy to see these songs getting revitalised in these movies!

“There are only two types of music. Good or bad.” - Duke Ellington

[@tano1985]

And this is REALLY good.

[@beatrixjames5433]

And.......????

[@beatrixjames5433]

@Ross Smith I don't even want to....lol.

[@Retroscoop]

I agree. Ellington was bad.

[@fucheduck]

I heard this song on the radio all the time as a kid growing up! I had no idea that Richie Blackmore was the lead guitar here! guess when he left Deep Purple this is what he was doing. I started listening to this stuff at age 12(and that was 1982-83) played at our skating rink. I haven't stopped rock'n since!

[@troyferraro8226]

I love this old shit. It never gets old. True gem!!!

[@seemir6981]

Born in 1997 and I love this song. 💪

[@creativeforce3970]

OK, doing my grocery shop and then.................this song comes on, yes!!! I am doing mental air guitar to this song in my local supermarket. WOW and I am SMILING, cool,xxxxxx

[@ricktalley]

That's awesome

[@SimonRML2456]

When music was written and performed with excellence, still play this very loud as its the only way to listen to it... The Vienna woods are alive with the sound of Rainbow

[@drewt2790]

The pop on that outro guitar solo is OUTSTANDING!!!

[@1979jimmyo]

Saw Def Lepard open for Richie's Blackmore's Rainbow in 79 at the Santa Monica Arena with my cousin Paul where this video Kicked Our Asses! I went into the United States Marine Corps right after this gig and was glad I got to see Richie play before I went in!

[@samandjennysambrook]

Takes me back in an instant to my halcyon days in the pub,drinkin smokin and chasing after girls. A magical time and a timeless song..RIP COZY.🎵🎸❤

[@rggarcia5728]

[@soundentitiesemerging7308]

One of my favorite bands of all time !! cb.

[@ianmitchell7109]

Wow! Just checked out the list of songs which Russ Ballard wrote. Amazing! This is melodic rock music at it's absolute best. That key change mid-song is sublime.

[@lostintime8651]

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP

[@Bella-fz9fy]

God gave rock and roll to you

[@astonm1204]

Bonnet really was singing supercharged back then. He only was with Rainbow for a very short time, but was part of their biggest hits. No coincidence.

[@skudlugs]

Song will never be forgotten , such a bloody classic, guy was one of the best rock singers ever born! beast of a voice!!

[@HeyouCrow]

Yhup! ☑️., Placed^ 'SiP2020' *Playlist now! 👍

[@mariecken5583]

Turning 21 in 2 days, and i grew up with this kind of music by my mom. I dare to proudly say i grew up with the best music ever! If only i could experience these hits coming out for the first time again

[@jeph-rey]

Happy Birthday stranger on the internet 🎂

[@ALLMETAL1970]

Graham Bonnet is possibly the most underrated vocalist in history. Man had a voice that as razorfist of rageaholic said, could drive a hurricane back into the ocean. And I agree, 120%.

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

I tend to agree with him on many things

[@Douglas-up2vh]

Brings back such Wonderful Memories of 1970's,80's,early 90's...Born in 1962 and feel blessed to see and hear so many any Legends growing up in America that's long Gone .

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

39 years and still love rainbow. Thankfully they haven't been worn out on classic rock radio

[@lorin42]

I like that riff. It does get stuck in your head but in a pleasant and not tortured way.

[@creepsta4768]

To bring the 70s back for One day. The kids now, would Absolutely know, what we are t talking about.!!! Ice- Maiden. Been and Gone But Never forgotten. XXX

[@oibal60]

I was living in Dublin, 19 years old, when this was released. That guitar riff was/still is epic.

[@tethryss5001]

This song I discovered recently at 28 and its such a damn good early morning or coming home from work song.
