Thank you for your reaction once again. Always a pleasure. For more arabian or eastern vibes, try Gates of Babylon from Rainbow. Or more heavier stuff, Long Live Rock'n Roll, Kill the King by Rainbow. Then from Dio's Black Sabbath era you should listen to Sign of the Southern Cross, monster of a song. By the way, did you notice how the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra came in towards the end of the song? The build-up of the end of this song is magnificient!

On top of having the greatest voice Dio was also the best of storytellers.

That, my good friend, is the single greatest vocal performance in a rock track that there has ever been. The outro is Ronnie at his magnificent best. It always brings a lump to my throat. Ritchie Blackmore, the guitarist is possibly the least recognised guitar virtuoso of his generation. He never plays the same solo twice, yet never delivers anything but an interesting and thoughtful solo…and yes, he had a very blues influenced style, which morphed into mediaeval, baroque as he became fascinated by old tunes. If you read the passage of the lyrics where the wizard ascends the creation he’s forced the singer to build, then, instead of flying, just falls, that is exactly how Ritchie deliberately structured the solo.

There's about 30 live recordings of this line up from live concerts in Europe and Japan on You tube......my current favourite is Stargazer from the "live in Fukuoka" concert....the longest Stargazer live that I know of.....

GOAT heavy metal singer. I was privileged to see him twice back in the mid 80's. Wish I saw him with Rainbow and Black Sabbath.

This is truly one of RJD's vocal epochs , he is just so ahead of the pack here, and the band were out to make a definitive statement with this release. Having come from Deep Purple, Blackmore had a great deal to live up to and this album left any naysayers behind.

I have heard this song so many times and I'm still getting blown away hearing it, Dio's vocals are totally insane (damn it's not fair how gifted he is and how easy it soundsfor him), definitely at his best here and then there's that incredible guitar solo and then the story of the song, it really is a full experience, like a opera honestly or hard rock/metal opera. Oh I almost forgot, I need to mention the absolutely incredible drummer too, this song really has everything.

The first time anyone hears this song they freak out. So unique and musical skills through the roof. Ronnie, Ritchie and Cozy are all in the conversation as best of what they do. Amazing stuff, modern audiences are stunned by this. I was lucky to see the Dio Rainbow 3 times. Unreal. Try Heaven and Hell from Dio's stint in Black Sabbath, different but the same high level of musicianship, another classic banger. Know this: they will be listening to all these people for centuries to come. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

Metal moved away from it, but exactly 70's heavy rock was blues based.

I'm still waiting for Hollywood to make an epic movie of "Stargazer" and it sequel "A Light in the Black". \m/\m/

Ritchie Blackmore is the songwriter, arranger and the great responsible for this song jointly Dio. They always will be in our souls.

he would've been perfect on a theater stage as a wizard or dark lord.

If you want the Egyptian flavor, check out Rainbow's "Gates of Bablyon" from the album "Long Live Rock And Roll"

Absolutely love Dio as a vocalist and entertainer. He captivates the crowd in a way that few can imagine. Love stargazer! Excellent choice of Song to react to. Try giving the album Rainbow on stage a listen. It’s a live album and he sings kill the king and catch the rainbow and sixteenth century green sleeves. Absolutely amazing!!! 👍🏻😎

I don't listen to Rainbow much, or in fact any rock as I used to 40 + years ago - but whenever i listen to this, it brings a tear to my eye, the quality, the talent, the absolute legend that was Dio - RIP. Not to forget also Blackmore's wizardry, I also salute you sir.

You passed the Gates of Babylon to meet the Alchemists & Wizzards of Ancient Persia !

If I'm not mistaken, Ronnie James Dio actually dabbled in Opera early in his life...thanks for this reaction!

All music can sounds bluesy, especially rock music, it based in blues. Blackmore is the Man. Please do more Purple or Rainbow stuff.

Would love to hear you react to " the Sign of the Southern Cross" ( Black Sabbath).. and or " Gates of Babylon "

Blackmore have done this time and time again....shown mindblowing techniques...but even more mindblowing is that Dio had almost no classical training in music. A Godgiven incredible talent...a true natural

this was from the 70s most metal had alot of blues influence in it at the time if you check out Black Sabbaths the wizard it is a very bluesy track off their first album there was no metal at the time and it was forming as several styles merged together. the craziest thing is to think about Dio's physical size, he was a small man only about 5'4, but his voice makes you think he is huge

This song was composed on a cello by Ritchie Blackmore with RJD... It makes sense with the middle eastern flavor of certain parts of song. Shows RJD's immaculate vocals with Blackmore's skills as a guitar virtuous !

All that strength and vocal power from a guy who stood 5 foot 5 in platform shoes and weighed 120 lbs...insane vocal power. He's said this song is about an Egyptian slave building a pyramid, and watching the "god" fall to his death when he thought he could fly...the 2nd part of this adventure is on the track that follows it, called A light in the black, which tells the story of the slaves journey home and his internal battles, having been somewhat institutionalized by the 9 years of servitude...great songs both.

Blackmore was known to smash guitars on stage when he was in Deep Purple.

... He’s been acclaimed, but deserves more recognition

You really, really need to listen to "Mistreated" by Rainbow from the Live in Munich '77 show to be utterly blown away by Ronnie's vocal performance. Thanks for the video.

I have seen so many reactions to "Stargazer" and I always say something to the effect of "Please listen to Stargazer's forgotten twin sister A Light in the Black....if nothing else to hear the end of the saga.

Ronnie James Dio is my fave Singer Ever ,i was 10 when my brother played Man on the sliver mountain by Rainbow then this album ,long live rock and roll,Ronnie with Black Sabbath, then his Band Dio, and then the SABBATH line up with Ronnie under the name Heaven and HELL till Ronnie past in 2010, may he R.I.P ,i love him and grew up with him

So many reviewers totally miss the Middle Eastern feel throughout this song, but this young lady absolutely got it! Richie's solo is clever beyond words. And she got it! Good lass

The magic of Blackmore and Dio continues in other tunes like Temple of the King, Catch the Rainbow, Rainbow Eys, Gates of Babylon

The Greatst Rainbow Song DIO/BLACKMORE ever written ! ..... same level as his CHILD IN TIME Composition.DEEP PURPLE/RAINBOW/WHITESNAKE.....where are this Music Quality Today ?????

It’s the Harmonic Minor scale that sounds like Egyptian mode.

Lots of that video in the background was actually Gates of Babylon

The vowel " i " is fully open here and this, in my opinion, is a projection in full chest voice, not any possibility of singing fully open vowels in mixed chest or head voice in this way and simply because the high pitch starts to become compress from the moment it connects with the head voice, at least within what is studied in Vocal Physiology, not even great lyrical tenors like Pavarotti, Caruso or others have ever been able to sing fully open vowels, because they are using mixed chest voice very developed through the Bel Canto technique and open vowels can only be projected in chest voice, this is what Ronnie James Dio does here and it seems to me that other singing professionals also noticed this detail.

Ronnie started playing a trumpet as a boy. That's more than likely how he acquired the ability to push his voice in such a manner.

Great reaction video! Love Dio. I got to see him fronting Black Sabbath after Ozzy left. I always find it jarring when someone trying to force/edit a piece of music into videos that it didn't come from. The vocals only sometimes match the mouth in the video, same with the guitar and drums.

Worth noting that hard rock has its origin in the blues. In fact, hard rock was basically distorted rock plus blues. Listen to early Led Zeppelin, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Mountain, etc. and the connection is pretty obvious.

After Rainbow was Dio Member of Black Sabbath - check up Heaven an Hell

One of the reasons that Ronnie and Ritchie didn't stay together very long is because after the first two albums, which were well-received by fans and critics, Ritchie wanted to go in a more commercial direction musically. Ronnie told him that he couldn't write those types of songs, and never wanted to sing those types of songs. At first, he tried to convince Ritchie to keep recording the style of the first records, thinking that he was an equal partner in the band. Ronnie was the first person Ritchie spoke with about forming Rainbow. Ritchie is a very difficult person to deal with, and was insistent on going in a different direction, and so Ronnie told him that if they were going to go in a more commercial direction, they'd need a new singer.

Saw this went nuts. Yay!!!

You would describe those "egyptian vibes" as Phrygian mode.

Love the lyrics... it's an analogy about people who deposit all their dreams and hopes on the promises of "wizards" that promise heaven for them (you know... like politicians). They don´t even know why, but they suffered for almost a decade just to see this Wizard flying... THEY BELIEVED... and then... he falls and dies. And now, what the f do they do with their lives???

There is actually no live footage from this period of this song.. This videos is spliced together with live footage from other songs of the period If you watch closely. However its done very very well..
