I'm listening to this with headphones gives a better idea ..Ritchie is still the real deal ..of course he is older and more controlled. .Romero is out of this world . Remember this is Ritchie giving his fans a last goodbye with a fantastic front man . we would all love Ritchie to get a crazy ass drummer and bass player and record new material and go at it like a demon one more time. This is Ritchie giving us his fans a last good bye. He will always be the greatest by a country mile and my childhood hero. Thank u Ritchie .

[@nadinerichters6096]

Ritchie is amazing

[@zatarra2766]

Richie's solo, extremely beautiful.

[@miquelpp]

Sure.

[@milosdunjic8718]

One must highly respect Ritchie ... 71 and still going strong enjoying what he is doing

[@peroquemamonazo]

Ronnie is a monster, he is so good singing songs from all Rainbow/DP singers : Turner, Dio, Coverdale, Guillan ... you name it. Awesome.

[@cafeamor3190]

I was not expecting such a good solo here. He has been in a mood and overall playing was better than the last year.

[@jjacer1]

Great to see Blackers still out there playing rock guitar as only he can.

[@bobolsen8067]

Ritchies sound is much better now then last time they played the european gigs awesome!And Ronnie is amazing of course as usuall.His all the great Rainbow singers in one cool!

[@lynnstephen]

It’s like Freddie and Ritchie coming together.. long live rock n roll

[@AspergerL]

Amazing vocal performance here!!

[@WardyP]

What a great voice - fantastic singer

[@fadilahhaidar8067]

Awesome singer .. He totally nails it :))))))))))

[@marcusviniof]

This guy is fantastic! Looks like a Joe Lynn Turner version!! 🤘🏻😎

[@safetyguy2046]

Speaking honestly as a Rainbow fan...things are not what they used to be...sadly....what a band in their day tho.....thanks for the memories..

[@carlosruiz-ob7le]

Excelente Ronnie, capaz de interpretar todo el amplio repertorio de rainbow.

[@ufivuhsu344]

Number one as always.....

[@giovanecampos9026]

blackmore is the best guitar player,we have much good guitars,page,roy buchanan,hendrix,clapton,rory gallagher,gilmour etc... but he played a lot of styles,have great felling,every band that he worked was great,just the best

[@mehrizahidova6419]

The uniqueness of the song is in Turner’s soulful vowels. This one is an assembly-line performance.

[@mostestgreatest]

JLT is awful. He thinks he's the star!

[@natjessel1627]

Great filming. Thank you.

[@gigskrislw7745]

Cheers, you're welcome :)

[@jorgeantoniocorantefernand9664]

Ronnie Amazing Chilean Singer for Rainbow

[@sadokyalaoui154]

Romero is a fantastic singer and Ritchie plays a very nice solo

[@jtoose3628]

Just Ritchie and a bunch of other people!!

[@alinab3798]

J Toose and his wife on the back vocal

[@ItsHeavenAndHellFoolFool]

And on the keyboards...the one and only Jens Johansson!

[@stefaniecruz2056]

Still amazing!

[@rolocharango5606]

Dale chileno !!!

[@popadop5]

love it, Thanks for posting :-)

[@gigskrislw7745]

Cheers Andy! :)

[@waltermueller1226]

Fantastic guitar. Absolutely highest level!

[@robsas6610]

Are you serious? He mucked the ending massively!!! As much as I love RB since 1972.. he shouldnt be doing this....

[@waltermueller1226]

Currently there are hundreds of shredders playing the same exercises and poeple use to say, "Ah great, they are fantastic". Ritchie developes melodies while playing. He's unique. Nobody else can do this as he does. Still.

[@robsas6610]

You are right, to a point... but when you call a cue, for christ sake be there!! He wasnt.... Good solo mostly, however...

[@80srockandmetal76]

Great Video

[@euanelliott3613]

It gives you an idea of what Ronnie James Dio would have sounded like singing this. I wish I'd heard it. Good to see Candice on backing vocals. Ritchie plays this tunefully and I like his melodic doodlings, he's the best at that. Long Live Ritchie Blackmore.

[@loversomusica440]

Ritchie Blackmore es lo más grande que un guitarrista de rock puede dar.... impresionante!❤️

[@theresaessalhi2419]

Brilliant voice amazing😀

[@borrellik]

Yessss

[@jimilove7773]

Massive vocs!

[@zeppo20]

Thank you...

[@carot2003]

And an Excellent singer..

[@user-fn5lb3hy4t]

Blackmore es el guitarrista más grande del rock, no solo por sus riffs y calidad al ejecutar las canciones, sino por su genio creativo, a él le debemos muchos éxitos rockeros

[@1608silvio]

Obrigado, Thank you.

[@odysr5682]

The solo was quite touchin..guess its not the old ritchie but it just suits the age

[@z888v8]

Одна из лучших вещей Райнбов Ритчи красавец!!!

[@misterknightowlandco]

is it just me or does blackmore look like hes just standing there trying to remember these tunes as he goes?

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

Mister Knight Bear & Co. Yes I thought that too, sounded like he was working out the lead guitar melody as he was going along, like where you haven't played it for years lol.

[@slottygw2wvw842]

100% what he does and he gets pissed when he fails

[@faustotorres6500]

No...Sorry to disappoint you. He's really doing It.Not one not wrong.

[@pete8081]

After being disappointed with the performances from last year I was not expecting too much, but this is pretty good. Blackmore is playing some nice stuff, he'll never be the guitarist he was 20 or 30 years ago, but it's still great to hear him. The singer is excellent, as he was last year. Bass player seems more animated and good keyboard player. My main gripe is with the drummer. I can't put my finger on it, but he seems very flat and his style doesn't seem to fit with the music. Anyway enjoyable clip. Thanks to the person who kindly filmed it and posted it. I'll definitely be watching some more now.

[@chrisvankoevering2461]

Awesome!

[@zlatal4171]

Эту песню чистейще и не подрожаемо спел -Джо Лин Тёрнер.

[@middlemanscaggs]

amazing song

[@user-oy3xv2bf5c]

リッチー動かなくなりましたねー！！ プレイの方は年を重ねたせいか、昔よりいい味がありますね！

[@manuelkalibra1979]

[@pround22]

I never realised Jimmy Somerville was so good on the drums.

[@ibibrgrg]

good!!!!!

[@brancocunhaa]

Tinha que ta no DVD I Surrender :(

[@user-vx7qo9zn2z]

A Black King of hard and heavy guitar forever🤷‍♂️

[@user-ph3nl5pi2u]

Ронни вкусно её поет

[@robertandrewhale]

I was there. The gig was not helped by a broken snare microphone for five songs or the microphone in front of Richie's amps continually falling over. The screens either side above the stage were not in operation therefore it was impossible for a lot of the audience to see what was happening on stage. The visuals on the screen need work, a lot of work. Visual loops ground to a halt, a giant single candle flame, right tune but out of cinc original video cameos by Dio and Powell and paint spattering was a feature, various album covers were cheerfully ruined,The forest/sky loop worked the best... I don't think the drummer has listened to the songs properly or there is a problem between him and the bass player, it's hard to define, there are percussive accents missing all over the place. Both musicians can clearly play but something sounds wrong. A joy it was to hear Richie and see him in the distance..I am a massive fan, first Rainbow gig in 1980, Ronnie is a fine singer and the keyboard player is on it. Weird lineup. But it was Richie Blackmore and he was a little subdued but deeply wonderful.

[@robsas6610]

The management have a lot to answer for then......

[@kissarmy305]

Ritchie rushed it, everytime he goes on tour with this line-up they play 4 to 5 shows max and the band only rehearse 1 maybe 2 weeks max prior to every tour. They just don't get enough time to become a solid band. A band, especially with members that are new to each other need the time to get used to each other, or else you'll get a show that looks and sounds like a jam session at your local bar.

[@robertandrewhale]

@@kissarmy305 Hey dude… Good point, but then you have to wonder why that is the case, If I had been production manager for that show I would have changed career immediately after it wrapped, yes Ronnie is an outrageous singer and the Keyboard player was clearly the man for the job but the rhythm section was a mess, the bass player was hobbled by what was going on with the drums. Fully admit to being a massive Cozy Powell fan but Bobby Rondinelli handled it, it’s not impossible to do, just takes one hell of a drummer….Stylistically speaking I don’t think any amount of rehearsal would have improved that situation with that guys introverted minimalist playing. Now it’s quite a while since that gig and I am left with the distinct impression that this was a way of raising a lot of money. Sure it’s a business but a Rainbow gig from the tours I went to was right out there in terms of sheer ability and musicianship, this gig seemed to be the result of as you say poor preparation but also poor advice. Or none perhaps. The tribute to Jon Lord was the standout song, Ritchie sounded much more comfortable and himself on the acoustic guitar. 🌞

[@gitarisamatir873]

Good improv

[@GreenerHill]

Excellent, thank you! This is one of the best Rainbow line-ups.

[@GreenerHill]

Dino: You could say that about every line-up post-Cozy Powell. I know this unit hasn't recorded new music yet, but the way they work together is inspiring - pure Rainbow, if you like. If Blackmore had hired people to impersonate Cozy, Jimmy Bain, Don Airey, etc., it would've sounded too forced and contrived. Purple and Rainbow have always played with a certain swing - not metal bashing at all - and this lot have that funkiness and space. And Ronnie Romero may have a Dio influence, but he's not a direct copy. Since you ask, it's my 56th birthday on Sunday. :)

[@MeTuLHeD]

Ummm...no. As someone who saw Rainbow at the pinnacle of their career, I strongly disagree. Don't get me wrong. Ronnie Romero is killin' it here. Great singer. The other players are very solid. But Ritchie? Just going through the motions. Yeah, I know. He was never one for running all over the stage and mugging it up for the camera. But here he just seems half hearted and lost. And he flubs the ending of a song he's played...what...a minimum of a hundred times!?!? Geez! Sorry, but he should stick to his Celtic/folk pursuits and leave hard rock/metal to players who care.

[@takeberx8takeberx846]

I surrenderのライヴでのギターソロはレインボーの曲の中では一番好きだったのに、随分シンプルというかハードロックっぽくないメロディアスなソロに変わってる。尤も、この映像の日のリッチー先生の気分が乗らなかっただけかも知れんけど。

[@user-tx2lv4xp8b]

カッコイイ

[@aaronblackmore]

Good music. Hot Candice.

[@russp363]

Joe wins hand down, Ronnie is a great singer,,,he would be great in Queen,,,,,,,,,,sounds more like Freddie Mercury,,,,which is a huge compliment,,,,,Joe is for Rainbow,,,,,, Ronnie for Queen.......

[@gmlasam]

@RUSS P....are you INSANE? Ronnie Romero does not sound anywhere near like Freddie Mercury, in fact he does not have the same vocal range as Freddie Mercury. Ronnie is a brilliant singer and should front his own band that show case is own style of vocals.

[@omarmallak3795]

I don't want to imagine Turner going for stargazer

[@s.9070]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6rHnaGkYph7hJo He did. And it was alright.

[@carmenbalcomb4106]

Who is the guy singing? He has a great voice,but guessing no original members🤔

[@nDkHDf]

Candice Night on back vocal?!

[@selfappropriation1407]

Den Bub auf der Bühne kann man weder anschauen noch hören. Schaut so aus, als käme er von American's got talent! Da fehlt einfach die Seele

[@Abrakadabra998]

Ричи просто охуенен!

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

This is Iommi on the guitar I think

[@DennysFrancisco]

Any footage of Stargazer?

[@gigskrislw7745]

Dennys Francisco Have posted it now.

[@DennysFrancisco]

Thanks brother... nice job!

[@peterwinters8587]

Robert Plant on bass

[@stefanmeyer18]

It feels a bit strange. The earlier Ritchie Blackmore from before Blackmore's Night seemed to be another person.

[@Alex-vi2wl]

It's called life. Let's hear you in your mid 70s?

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

I don't think it's Blackmore, this is Iommi I think

[@karlpaoli]

Thanks for posting! Any footage of Stargazer?

[@gigskrislw7745]

Karl Leon Have uploaded it now 👍🏻

[@user-uf4hw2fe8h]

Поородия на Дио и

[@user-bu3rp5sc6h]

Сука буду!Моя любимая вещь из рока.

[@daveharris4032]

Let's see more of Candice❤️😛

[@Alex-vi2wl]

I think we should all be thanking her. She's the one behind this project.

[@daveharris4032]

Alex that depends on whether you think the project is any good. I personally think this is totally lacklustre.

[@Alex-vi2wl]

Truth is he doesn't give a rats ass about rockn'roll anymore or he would have put a more serious lineup. His wife found the singer and he went along with whoever was around to please her and earn some extra cash as he honestly admitted.

[@Alex-vi2wl]

If you mean his rock fans, yes. Though he takes his rennaissance music much more seriously. You got to admit that rockn'roll can be musically limiting for a genius composer like him. I totally understand why he had to move on.

[@MrObelisk2290]

Seriously doubt they sold out the O2

[@geizadireito1162]

Jose M it was sold out

[@user-bu3rp5sc6h]

Тёрнэр всяко лучше.

[@user-ei2qt9fz2h]

Тёрнер круче!!!

田端義雄か？

[@UliMuliko]

SAD

[@LMCofficialmusic]

Bass player looks like Roman Polanski. 3:)

[@miikasuominen3845]

I always hated, how Turner sang this one live. Ronnie nails it, totally!

[@erickjavierl.c.5949]

MMM NOT, BETTER JLT...

[@j.lpicard9586]

ライブなら ジョーよりクオリティーが 高い

[@vladjones2446]

Singer very good, Ritchie on decent form, keyboards obviously a top notch rock keys guy but honestly where did they pick up that weak ass rhythm section? The drummer speeds up, the bass players sound isn’t hefty enough, the legacy of Cozy Powell, Ian Paige, Roger Glover deserves much better and there’s no excuse, so many good session players out there.

[@unciclistacontraelsistema8620]

Good performance...but what an awful drummer...bufff...
