Rainbow is one of my all time favorite groups. They are considered a super group based on the talent they had. Recently you did a reaction video of "Child in Time" from Deep Purple. The guitarist is Ritchie Backmore and he left Deep Purple a few years later and formed the band Rainbow. A band called Elf opened for Deep Purple during their tours. Ritchie really liked the singer's voice, his name was Ronnie James Dio. This is the break Ronnie needed to advance his singing carrier. Ronnie and the band members from Elf (except the guitarist) joined Blackmore to make their first album. Then came the addition of Cozy Powell on drums for the second album. He was considered one of the best and had worked with other known bands. The bass and keyboardist changed for each album. Three great albums were made under the Dio era with "Stargazer" being their best song (in my opinion). There are a bunch of other videos from this magical 1977 Munich concert you should check out, starting with "Catch the Rainbow", then "Man on the Silver Mountain", "Long Live Rock n Roll", "16th Century Greensleeves", "Still I'm Sad", "Kill the King", and "Do You Close Your Eyes". Rainbow didn't get much airplay in the Dio years, only "Man on the Silver Mountain". The Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner years on vocals had a few radio hits like "Since You Been Gone", "Stone Cold", and "Street of Dreams". These songs were more commercial and shorter that worked well for a radio format.

Ronnie is one of the all time greats. There is no one like him. An amazing singer, but also a wonderful human being. To me he is the just the greatest person in rock n roll. Listen to Stargazer with Rainbow or Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath. 🤘

You just been introduced to Ronnie James Dio, a metal legend, one of the greatest voices of all time, highly reviewed and highly missed. He died in 2010, but will never be forgotten. Listen to “holy diver“. He sang with many bands, including Black Sabbath I believe.

That's Ronnie James Dio, the Godfather of Metal", known ad the GOAT vocally. Check out Ronnie in his other bands 'Elf', 'Black Sabbath', 'Dio' and "Heaven and Hell'. And always check out Dio LIVE. That voice, UNREAL. A gift from God. He sang professionally for over 50 years and NEVER lost his vocal ability, an ability I've never seen anyone else have. By the way, the keyboardist is a young MAN. David Stone.

The greatest vocalist of all time.RONNIE JAMES DIO🤘🤘🤘

The most underrated rock band ever!

Ritchie blackmore one of the greatest guitarists ever

They were all superstars hence a supergroup. Dio himself probably the most accomplished at his gift at singing and no slouch on bass also.

Nice one! Was lucky enough to attend quite a few of these concerts back in the day - none of them were ever the same - but most were insane! Would suggest you go straight for it and react to "Stargazer" next - the absolute ultimate - followed by "Light in the Black" which concludes the whole story - Epic!

you already reacted to two videos of this singer, heaven and hell and last in line, Ronnie James Dio!!! The most powerful voice in metal

I love your reactions to Dio. I really do sympathize with the shock his voice gives to ears. And you got a great voice too. Keep up the good work. If you wanna react to more of his work with this band you should react to Stargazer , Gates of Babylon live.

Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore formed Rainbow. This was originally a Deep Purple song originally sang by Deep Purple's 3rd singer David Coverdale, who went on to form Whitesnake. This live version features Ronnie James Dio on vocals (Elf, Black Sabbath, Dio), Jimmy Bain on bass (Dio, Last In Line, Gary Moore, Wild Horses), Cozy Powell on drums (Jeff Beck Group, Graham Bonnet, Michael Schenker Group, Whitesnake, Emerson Lake & Powell, Black Sabbath, Yngwie Malmsteen), Tony Carey on keyboards.

One of my all time favourite bands.

Ritchie Blackmore is the brainchild of this band, not to mention he’s one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time

Ronnie James Dio is often regarded as the greatest heavy metal singer of all time.

Just found your channel and love it! This is one of my favorite Rainbow songs/versions. As others mentioned Ronnie James Dio was in Sabbath, had his own band, Rainbow...a very, very talented man. If you want some other classic rock with insane vocals check out Judas Priest Run of the Mill (likely not known very well) Rob Halford's vocals rip but the entire band is so tight on that song. Thanks again man, love the video.

Hello from Cody wyoming! I saw Dio in 1987 in Colorado... blew my mind! You're awesome keep it up dude😀 good luck with your eyesight that's a bummer

You reacted to the original version of this song 2 months ago by Deep Purple with David Coverdale on vocals who went on to form Whitesnake. You were blown away.

You reacted to this singer before. I had requested The Last In Line a few months ago. Same singer, different band. Still awesome.

oh yes now your talking...cant wait for you to do stargazer...and gates of babylon...dio such a rabbit hole to go down...a legend

Great reaction man. Love your videos. Keep it up.

Great band

Someone gave Dio a Blues song. And the Devil approved 😉

The singer is the legend Ronnie James Dio, you have reacted to him before: The last in line, children of the sea and heaven and hell. 🤘 He began his career as a singer with dio and the prophets, after that elf, after that Rainbow, then black sabbath (there he consolidated as a leyend), finally his solo career with the band named DIO.

Ritchie Blackmore is the GOAT of guitarist.

This was Live in Concert Munich Germany 1977 in the Olympic Arena 14.000 people sold out Arena but many left cause of Richies very late arrival due Police Issues in Vienna Austria before that Gig in Munich.

Richie Blackmore sure knew a good singer when he heard them. Rainbow went through 4 amazing singer worth checking out: RJD; Graham Bonnet; Joe Lynn Turner; Doogie White. At one point when reforming Deep Purple he considered many other great singer's including; Jimi Jamison; Terry Brock and even John Farnham.

OOh we love a bit of Dio !! (RIP Ronnie) Thanks Dominic !!

Oh yeah, the guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore of Derp Purple. This is a tally a Deep Purple song.

Dio is a rocker, Everyone will tell you about him replacing Ozzy in Sabbath....but for some real history on Ronnie look up Ronnie & The Prophets - "I Told You So" 1963...you will be surprised!!!!!

Ronnie James Dio is an incredibly talented and versatile singer. Coupled with Richie Blackmore on guitar, this lineup was one of those lightning strikes that just don't happen more than once. Brilliance!! It was awesome seeing you appreciate this, brother.

Amazing Performance 🎉

Ritchie blackmores rainbow(guitarist). .ex deep purple guitarist(you have done deep purple couple weeks ago)..his band

You must check out Stargazer by Rainbow. The vocals will knock your socks off.

You reacted to this song before, performed by Deep Purple who originally wrote, recorded and performed this track. Ritchie Blackmore, guitarist of Deep Purple, Rainbow and Blackmore's Night, clearly wanted to do the song with Dio as a singer too. It's nice to compare the two versions of the same song and take note of the differences :)

Rainbow - Stargazer !!!

Amazing Rainbow MkIII Line up

By the way, he was inspired by Motown, so if you hear some soul in his voice it’s because of that!

Deep Purple Child in Time live 1970 is must watch…

Ronnie James Dio, often referred to as simply Dio, Italian for God. One of the greatest vocalists of all time, not just in metal. Should definitely check out stargazer by rainbow, or heaven and hell by Black Sabbath. RIP RJD 🤘🤘🤘

Deep Purple song ,,Mistreated " !

Just so you know he has Reacted to Dio- The Last In Line as well as Black Sabbath- Heaven and Hell, and now Rainbow- Mistreated. All are Ronnie James Dio. That being said please React to Liliac- Mars (Live in Cumming GA).

Yesss!! Dio the metal god 🤟.

1977 - i was 10 years old

The singer is Ronnie James Dio (from his solo work called Dio and Black Sabbath) and the guitarist is Richie Blackmore (from Deep Purple).

Stargazer is next for you bro! Trust me! 🤘👍

He was in Efl, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio Band and Heaven and Heall band

I think you`ve already done a Dio (solo) reaction. Last In Line (when he was much older)

well, you already reacted to some songs with DIO. Ritchie is a legend as DIO by himself Cozy as well Just a party of the OGs i guess

Ironically, Ronnie James Dio did not like performing MISTREATED as it was a DEEP PURPLE song from their Mark III era, written by Ritchie and David Coverdale. In spite of his disdain for performing the song, he made it his own.

You loved this then try Stargazer. The real Rainbow.

6:59 - 7:05 Lol np brother Dio does that Welcome to the greatest gentleman vocal master.

RIP Dio 😈

He was in a Doo Wop band back in the day. Check out Stargazer next..

This is the same singer from Black Sabbath .....Children of the Sea. Which you reacted too. Ronnie James Dio.

You got to check out "Holy Diver" it'll change your world.... guaranteed

Wore my tape out.

can we say that rjd has something on the singer from the darkness - i should say so - but good review nonetheless

You already reacted to Last in Line from Dio, it's the same guy.

You must react now to Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath. Same singer and a really great song

You realize the singer is Dio, right? You reacted to him before :)

I think you would love Rainbow- Stargazer more.

same guitarist from Child in Time

You never heard of Ronnie James Dio , REALLY?

So glad i found u Great enjoying my shit w u But the thing is u ACTUALLY know a bit about music and vox. Cheers

This dude did a deal with the Devil!

Please react to more songs from Greta Van Fleet !!!! ❤️‍🔥

dio :)

Never ever compare RJD to anyone. Their isn’t anyone close. Even Erik Dickerson and Geoff Tate for their range are not in the same league of RJD.

Sorry not as good as the original Deep Purple (original) version, sung by David Coverdale. David put more feeling into the song particularly the live version. As for Dio yes he can yell really well but I have never liked his voice, sorry about that!

hey my channel u are rookie man kkkkkkkkkkkk, try more, p-lease dio live bible balck, die young< try dio in the rock palast holanda moob rules

Your face… at a certain point, Ronnie James Dio gets everyone. Gone way too early.

Coverdale does a great version of this but he is a poor second to this.

Do your research before you react to a song..

No line up will ever be stronger then Blackmore dio!! Ever !!!!

Who the fuck needs a reaction to Mistrideth/Rainbow with dio when the original is Mistrideth Deep Purple with Coverdale?!
