我が青春はリッチーの全盛期！
値段は¥15, 000でした。
今はYouTubeでタダで見てるんですね〜
幸せな時代です。
でもそのビデオは35年経った今でも宝物です。

Artificial harmony, slide guitar, volume picking, crotchets, oriental notes, shredding, licking, legatos, neoclassical theme, arpeggios, hammering, and above all melodious scales and chords what have you left over for other guitarists Ritchie ????

[notguilty]

take a minute to look and appreciate how hard he is working that guitar. settings and fretboard. man o man

[sinisapetrovic]

This video best explains why Blackmore is an ultimate guitar hero and one of the most fascinating personalities in rock history. BtW his slide guitar playing is second to none.

As a serious Beethoven fan, I can say this version of the 4th movement of the 9th is absolutely stunning! It took my breath away! Awestruck is not too strong a term. If you listen carefully you can even hear elements of the 5th symphony. These guys are serious musicians!

I was there Tokyo Budokan with my friend that night. I remember everyone got so surprised and shouted with joy to find orchestra members behind Ritchie on the stage. We could not believe what we saw.
That was the greatest concert ever!!!

[Manonsilvermountain]

This solo was an addition to human experience in this life.

[davidschad]

Greatest guitar player EVER !!!! Hands down !!

[barneypaws]

One of the most powerful moments in music history

[tedcabana]

What a beautiful performance of Classical/Rock fusion. Amazing how he Keeps it so melodic, while dazzling with guitar virtuosity, and staying true to the Beethoven theme. He makes it his own, but pays great tribute to one of the worlds greatest composers. Ritchie is a guitar god by every definition.

Thank God people know about the greatness of Rainbow and Ritchie Blackmore. Saw them on the Difficult to Cure tour and it was the greatest concert I've seen in my life. And I have seen many of the greats.

[opisthokonta]

Blackmore, the father of Neoclassic Metal.

[nikolayconkov]

Fantastic performance by Ritchie Blackmore

The wizard of guitar, Ritchie is the best :)

Saw Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" tour, and haven't been the same ever since. 🤘

Man, wtf I just saw? The man was so ahead of his time. This is one of the most brilliant things ever played in the history of rock.
