I absolutely adore Blackmore's Night. I always liked Deep Purple but when I found BM about 12 years ago i was immediately HOOKED. Candice's voice is just gorgeous and I love their whole renaissance-inspired vibe. Please please do more of them.... their original (to this band) stuff is amazing (and their occasional covers aren't half bad either). So many fabulous songs to choose from, like: Ghost of a Rose, Under a Violet Moon, March the Heroes Home, Cartouche, Highland, Hanging Tree, Olde Mill Inn, Dandelion Wine, Fires at Midnight, Village on the Sand, etc, etc.

Same guitarist on both versions, Ritchy Blakemore, different interpretation. I love both versions, but this version really touched me.

Ritchie Blackmore was the main man in both Deep Purple and Blackmore's Night. He is the composer of this song. Singer Candice Night is Ritchie's wife and They started to his band twenty years ago. Obviously Ritchie isca noted virtuoso of both acoustic and electric guitar. Anyway if you would like to do a further react to their stuff, I'd suggest "Street of Dreams" done as a duet with Ritchie's old friend, Joe Lynn Turner.

Do more Blackmore's Night: Under violet moom

If you are planning to do more Blackmore's Night, check out "The village lantern". Deep lyrics, nice melody, just one of their great songs.

Wow Did not see this coming ! Blackmore's Night Does a very good cover of Diamonds and Rust also try the way to Mandalay

Blackmore's Night is really awesome. Yes, please do a few more of their songs.

Blackmore is a virtuoso...no question...

Master of guitar.

saludos dsd bolivia sudamerica, d niño escuche esta banda y ame cada tema d blackmore nigh..............................................hermozo.

About time someone played this when they played live here in Ohio probably one of the best concerts I have seen and I've been to a few hundred of em . I have everything they have done , you need to check em out doing Diamonds and Rust- Cartouche- the Village Lantern- Streets of London- 25 Years -Shadow of the Moon- Greensleeves- Wish you were Here oh hell girl I could go on for awhile . They just did a corona19 first time stream at the minstrel hall is there home definitely check it out ......

I think we all love that which we have history with the best. This was very well done. I enjoyed it. Thanks for the video reaction.

Blackmore's Night is an amazing group. If you want one that touches you in so many ways try their song "Ghost of a Rose"

MORE please!!!... I was always a huge Deep Purple fan, then instantly fell in LOVE with Blackmore’s Night since I first heard them in 2004! Ritchie is forever the guitar god, and his wife Candice’s heavenly voice just melts your soul...❤️ Thank you sweet India for playing this cover!.. Now you really need to explore their amazing original works! Their music is mostly 1600’s Renaissance/gypsy/minstrel themed, often with a rock-n-roll overlay..we BN lovers call it Rock-n-Ren. Amazing blend of sound! I highly suggest you react to any or all(😂) of the following (studio tracks preferred to live for most of these): Dancer and the Moon, Cartouche, Windmills, Hanging Tree, Under a Violet Moon, Play Minstrel Play(with guest flute solo by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull), The Circle, Journeyman, Fires at Midnight, Darkness, The Last Leaf..and for an instrumental that really shows off Ritchie’s acoustic skill, there’s Possum’s Last Dance... Oh my stars, there are just SO many! Take your pick, you will not be disappointed.🤗

The singer is the guitarist wife.

India you should try her song under the violet moon by Blackmore night.

Thank you this is going on my playlist

Love this and so glad someone went down the path of Blackmore's Night. Since you liked this I strongly recommend you explore another group but this one from much earlier. They are called Renaissance. Just listen to them all. lol

Hi Beautiful, Candace has a beautiful voice. Love Blackmores Night

Awesome duo , they have so many great songs

I think the difference between both versions of the song can be explained in a very simple way. When David Coverdale sings the song, he's telling his tale. It seems about sacrificing love for music and touring. When Candace sings the song, it's like she's singing legendary folklore written in a fairytale of the past. It's like matching a songwriter versus a bard. Neither is bad, they're just differently seen by the person telling the tale. I can't say I prefer one over the other as I like both singers and both styles of music they choose to tell their story through. She actually reminds me a bit of a young Joan Baez (which is why I was stunned reading here that she covered Diamonds and Rust). I love both the Joan (original) version of Diamonds and Rust and Judas Priest's cover of it so I have no doubt I'll love Candace's version.

Blackmore. In ages past he was part of the pre-Beatles scene, in bands like The Outlaws (not that one), produced by legendary British maverick Joe Meek. Deep Purple was his apotheosis and thereafter he's become the go-to sound for people wanting tone and classical pretension and the kind of grumpiness that will occasionally not admit of such things as encores.

Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple, with wife Candice Night. This song always reminded me of how lonely it could be for a touring musician.

Absolutely love both versions if you're delving into Blackmore'S Night then a few songs for me are The Storm, Ariel, greensleeves, Keeper of the Flame!!!!!

compare Child in time with Purple and BlackmoresNight too love both

If you do one of their song it's got to be 'Shadow of the Moon' -it's their first and their very best (album too).

After leaving Deep Purple for the second time, Ritchie Blackmore took entirely different direction towards folk renaissance era inspired, mainly acoustic music. I have seen them live and they have encouraged people to dress in 15th / 16th century style giving them front row places in concerts.

Try some Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow India and you'll get the Blackmore triumvirate.

Blackmores night is more of a renesiense band, where Ritchie can explore old instruments. one of my favorites is locked in a crystal ball. I am not sure but ritchie may also have a hurdy gurdy that he may play on some songs.

I thought the original David had so much more feeling. Less piddly notes and so much clearer which defined the song. David coverdale brought so much more feeling. You could see it in his face to. She didn't look or sound like she felt and meant it.

I'll have to agree with you that the Purple's version is somewhat more effective, but then again, they are one of my top five bands of all time.

Blackmore's Night Ritchie Blackmore and his wife Candice Night

I agree with your assessment, but this is partly what happens to rock musicians as they grow older. They tend to get more into nuance. And this is a dazzling display of his dexterity, which in his 1970s heyday was hidden behind showboating.

he is the best guitarist ever yes better than page nugent etc etc

Their music does us so much good that their albums should be reimbursed by health insurance.

You should do a side by side reaction of Ritchie Blackmoore's Rainbow and Blackmoore's Night versions of "Storm". I would love to see your reactions. Rainbow's version - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJ-jkpp4lqqteGw.html and Blackmoore's Nights version - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJ1_mNOIxpq4eIk.html

While I appreciate Tracy Chapman as your intro look up Joan Armatrading. Always enjoy some Spanish-esk Guitar very well played.

She doesn't know that the banjo player is the same on bother versions

Rainbow anyone? And not the childrens TV program. Since you been gone, I surrender, A light in the dark and many, many others.

Hey. React to "Velha infância - Tribalistas"

"Loreley"

This version touched me in a bad way

While I love Blackmore’s Night and their musicianship this unfortunately feels like a Karaoke version of the original song.

Playing for a change......the weight

The original version is a 100 times better.

Deep purple YES! Rainbow YES! Blackmore’s Night? No thanks! Sorry Ritchie nobody wants to see you dancing in a forest with elves. Please get Joe Lynn Turner on the phone and have a real band! 👎

Wow Did not see this coming ! Blackmore's Night Does a very good cover of Diamonds and Rust also try the way to Mandalay
