Oh wow, look what a little birdie just delivered to my doorstep! (Thanks @heeman!) Gonna watch this tonight...
So I watched this last night - fortunately, before I checked the news - and I REALLY enjoyed it! Thanks so much. I actually had zero knowledge that Ritchie was one of the founders of Deep Purple. Or that he worked with Dio, wasn't at all familiar with Rainbow. I have one of his Blackmore's Night albums (Shadow of the Moon), which honestly I was kinda "meh" about but I'm going to give it another spin now that I know more.I hope that you enjoy it! I watched it last weekend and thought that you would enjoy it........... Let us know!
Ritchie is one of the greats!

I ordered a couple of earlier Deep Purple albums - In Rock and Machine Head - because of this (actually, while I was watching).
Ok, so this makes a great poll.Great! Rainbow when through many different Genres and singers as shown in the blu ray. Bent Out Of Shape and Straight Between the Eyes show some of the mainstream hits!
Ok, so this makes a great poll.
Best Rainbow singer?
Graham Bonnet
Joe Lynn Turner
Ronnie James Dio
Man, I am super torn by this one and go through phases where it is each one.
The Very Best of Rainbow does a great job of highlighting the masterful performances of all 3.
DIO................................................PERIOD!!!

Gotta agree on this one, at least based on the clips from the video. I don't know the other two well, but I've always been amazed with Dio's singing.DIO................................................PERIOD!!!
Just agree 100% with us, and it's all good.Damnit, I just typed a lengthy reply and something weird happened with my POS laptop and it all disappeared.
The Scorpions Get Your Sting and Blackout from you Tube.
Pretty decent quality for a youtube stream, great concert though, those guys are amazing. I have seen them either 2 or 3 times and I honestly cant remember which right now.
They are in my top 5 live artists. AMAZING shows.
