Ian Gillan - Sitting In a Dream (Butterflly Ball 1975) 

Gethsemane!

Yes. Full voice but sounds falsetto.

I am always amazed deafness in relation to rockers singing.How can you compare a large and beautiful voice Gillan with some sort melim and raspy voice of the Dio

yeah, Ian Gillan has been blessed to have such a voice, i can't understand how people can't see it. His voice was the pure water, something from beyond...

Just Rutland brainless dick head so was Dio's keep your soggy opinions to yourself.

Gillan is barely qualified to lick the salt off of a peanut stuck in a dogturd clinging to Dio’s shoe. My own private opinion , of course. Worshippers of the tasteless brainless off-key screecher are of course welcome to grovel at his feet.

@@Grigoriygb the original published song on the project was done by Dio. It is from this and Catch The Rainbow that I got to know Dio for myself. Ian is one of the greatest, and more completed as a musician. On regard to hard rock and heavy metal, Dio takes it place as well and no need for hate. As for Smoke on the water, it will always be Gillan. At same concert they did also Sitting in the dream together with Dio. It is great and funny to hear. Enjoy music, and enjoy both of them my friend. Don't limit us and yourself to one oprion only.

Other than Ronnie, It has to be Ian to sing it. First time I hear Ian's version. Love it.

Dio is no match for Gillan, as you can see from this link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AT7XcYxco4M.html so don't mention it here.

And his version is great

@@Grigoriygb Shit talker huh?

@@Grigoriygb He is already whit cancer in this footage. You is a great bastard to call yourself fan.

The Paras ever !

He was real nervous, and wasn't sure how he'd be accepted

Yes thats true and he regained his hunger to sing live again.

Yes, they both were great.

tjcobra666 it was such a pity they couldn‘t! I miss it too!💜

Tributo Rainbow Dio had a beautiful voice, too

@@Grigoriygb it's not a competition, if it was RJD every time!

@@jelly-baby Are you completely deaf?

СПАСИБО! Какая нежность и проникновенность! Лучший голос Вселенной! Не слышала Дио и искать не буду) Он, по определению ( правда, по-моему)))) не может спеть лучше!

@@olgak_9932 я думала, что нежнее песни Элвиса Пресли "лав ми..." быть ничего не может, а тут аж обволакивает, как нежнейшее облако, Господи, дай хоть один шанс оказаться рядом с ним😇

@@НатальяПивоварова-щ8ш Я, всё-таки, послушала Дио. Тоже классно и тембр очень похож. Но, почему-то, Дио для меня скучно, особенно Звездочет, от которого все просто в восторге. Гиллан навсегда)))! Жаль мечты Ваши-наши несбыточны(😊

@@olgak_9932 ну, хотя бы в следующей жизни((( а дочь Йена достаточно голосистая, но, как большинство англичанок, не айс, мальчиков ему надо было наделать побольше)))

@@olgak_9932 Дио даже на микрон не может сравняться с Йеном, там спасает только игра редиски Блэкмора....

I'm pretty sure he was always smoking, at least up to his 60s or so, but his voice could take it. Check out Loving On Borrowed Time from 1990, not his best song but amazing vocals!

then all the singers smoked and drank.

У них в глазах только доллары и фунты, искусство их не интересует...

You're not alone in that opinion. All the concert footage exists somewhere, including Vincent Price's inserts... the live show was for a charity event & the film was to further the cause BUT being about, you know, kids, the producers thought they'd need to put in all the live-action pantomine (which does nothing but distract & detract from the show). Roger Glover had no idea what they'd done and, at the film's premiere (which was to be the best moment of his musical career), he sank in his chair with absolute embarrassment.

I like Dio. But Gillan has a dreamy quality.

Eisenheim68 me too, but Dio version is good too, to be honest! Otherwise, what and how Gillan performed could nobody!

@@santabarbara2105 I prefer Dio version, vocals much strongers.

@@luamoliveira3467 No, Dio's voice is not stronger, it's just that Gillan always knew when to use a strong voice, and when not, he did not consider it necessary to sing this song with a forced voice.

@@ninoorjon I studied singing for years and I reaffirm my comment, Dio had impeccable vocal technique and much healthier and obviously had more vocal power than Guillan, even a 12 year old can understand that, Guillan had a lot of problems with his strings vocals still in the 80s and he had to undergo a surgical operation, this was largely due to the lack of great vocal control for the execution of very high notes and this ended up being harmful to his voice, in contrast Dio had a healthier vocal technique and his vocal control is considered by many vocal critics to be one of the best examples to be studied or if not the best that ever existed in that specific context, my sincere apologies but these are the facts regarding the two vocalists mentioned.

+Ali bursalı Indeed, spot on !

debill

toppop100 Probably

Coverdale never pretend is better, like Hughes! Hughes is the one who always wanted to show he‘s better as Gillan. And is frustrate about it!

because both versions are very emotional in their own ways

Why compare Ian Gillan and Ronnie James Dio? It's silly. They are two magnificent artists, two superb singers. But their voices are very different. If Ronnie had not been detained by Ritchie Blackmore, who had made him understand that if he went to the Royal Albert Hall to perform his 3 songs from the Butterfly Ball album, he would have been fired from Rainbow. Then, Roger Glover called Ian Gillan who agreed to sing "Sitting in a Dream". Ian had not sung for more than two years. He did it very well. But this was not HIS song. At the time, do you think Ronnie could have sung "Child in Time"? Stop comparing. You prefer one or the other? That's your right, of course.

Fifipurple4064 Idiots compare apples to oranges. Gillan is SINGER. Dio was heavy metal voice but he could not sing. Dio was impersonating "devil" with smoke and fire coming out of his ass. Gillan and Dio are in completely different categories.

@@vitalygoji You are talking out of your ass and obviously have no idea what you're saying, you obviously haven't heard dio's singing enough to make such a statement. Besides Gillan is a heavy metal singer too

@@chokeyoursoul These days I listen to Beth Hart with Bonamassa. Dio is just too artificial to me. To me he sound like comedian who is trying to impersonate some kind of a demon or something .. Gillan sung in Jesus Christ Superstar. He will be remembered for that role. All that hard rock / heavy metal will not be remembered. Even people who went in seventies and eighties listen to that less and less and wonder what was it all about. And I will tell you what it was all about. It was about promise. Promise turned into a big lie. Do you know who's promise was not a lie? Get one of those free copies of the Gospel and see if you are developed enough to figure it out. Dio is not going to do a shit for you. It can stun you for a while but soon you will also get tired of it because it takes you nowhere

@@vitalygoji i'm not expecting anything from dio. I enjoy his voice and his music man, simple as that, i really do not idolize any artist. I just enjoy their work

Since when was a frog an insect, you moron.

Clive Bindley since you are a moron

Hahahahaha...you refer to a frog as an insect, and I'm the moron? You don't even have the fucking intelligence to come up with an original insult, so you repeat the one I gave to you. Grow some brain cell for fucks sake!

Clive Bindley so we got a Sir Sherlock Holmes in here haha

@@Grigoriygb Precisely what I was referring to in my comment.

@@Grigoriygb There is no comparison between Dio and Guillan, Dio always had a more powerful voice, with impeccable and very healthy technique, Guillan was one of the greats of rock but never had a healthy vocal technique and had many vocal problems even in the 80s, even having even if he has to operate his vocal chords, Dio has always been a superior vocalist than Guillan and anyone with the slightest vocal knowledge knows that.

@@luamoliveira3467 you are either an idiot fanatic arguing with facts: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AT7XcYxco4M.html or just deaf. There is no third. So, you either see a psychiatrist or an otolaryngologist. By the way, the idiot maestro Pavarotti, who repeatedly sang a duet with Gillan and called him a genius, did not even suspect the existence of your idol Lilliput. So, go get treated.

@@Grigoriygb Try to study a little more vocal physiology or even a little Bell canto, maybe you'll learn a little more about vocal structure: how muscle domain, vocal projection and voice imposition; for your information Pavarotti called him a musical genius and not a singing genius, and that has no influence on the context inserted by me regarding the vocal technical capacity of a singer and that we are debating here, that's what we are discussing and his thought together with your knowledge about singing is extremely minimal, the links you sent did not add absolutely anything to the conversation, you completely escaped the topic proposed above, leave your fanatic side aside and learn to dialogue more with reason, accept the sheer fact that there are rock vocalists technically superior to Guillan; Dio, Steve Perry and Chris Cornell are technically better vocalists and more vocally complete than Guillan, any professional singing critic knows this very well and you know this very well, learn my dear to respect opinions that differ from yours, your comment is extremely rude and without much technical background either, have a good night.

So you're deaf. How can you compare a large and beautiful voice Gillan with some sort melim and raspy voice of the Dio ?!

Obviously you didn't hear Dio's version, mate. It's one of the softest sound i ever heard singing.

Yann Destal I listened to the version Dio. Gillan's voice large and beautiful. And Dio is small and squeaky. What are you - fans of rock music are deaf do not hear the difference?

I find Dio's voice excellent on his version and i'm sure, listening to Gillan that he tried unsuccesfully to reproduce it the way it was sang in the first place. You can see it's kind of instable, it's true it's hard to sing that kind of soft high notes. Anyway if it's a matter of tatse there's non one to be called dumb, and my matter was that reading your description of Dio's voice as "raspy" still shows that you didn't hear the version before you juged it.

Yann Destal Well, you and deaf !!! You say that a great and magnificent voice Gillan, nevozmozhzhno compared to small and squeaky voice, Dio. and you keep saying all the nonsense. Apparently unable to learn anything either.
