Rainbow - Kill The King (Live, 1977) [REACTION VIDEO] | Rebeka Luize Budlevska 

One of the best group of musicians to ever walk the earth.

Maybe “Stargazer” next by Rainbow or “Hallowed Be Thy Name” by Iron Maiden

For a slower but still a very powerful song, try " Catch The Rainbow" - live version. You will love it!

To correct a couple of comments here. This is live in October 1977 on the Long live Rock and Roll tour. Nothing to do with the On Stage album which was recorded the previous year on the Rising tour which ended December 1976. Kill the King was written for the stage as Blackmore thought he needed a powerful song to open the the previous tour in 1976. A studio version was finally recorded for the Long Live Rock and Roll album in 1977 and continued as the concert opener. Fun fact no one else seems to have commented on...this concert was filmed in Munich and started around midnight as Blackmore was stuck in jail after the previous gig in Vienna for two days for kicking a bouncer in the head who he saw mistreating ( natch ) a girl in the front row. Let out of jail he was hurried to Munich as the fans waited patiently for his arrival still wearing his stage clothes from Vienna and he plays a blinder. Legend. Update. I stand corrected. The audio is from On Stage while the video's from Munich 1977.

Dio and Blackmore shine here....incredible vocals and such fast driving guitar work, cool riff and solo's. You pick such amazing songs Rebeka love your choices.

Great band! Good memories!

Awesome song. I have this on DVD (Live in Munich 1977). Great pick!

Try Catch the Rainbow live or you can try the studio versions of either Temple of the King or Rainbow Eyes. This line up of Dio/Blackmore/Powell/Daisley/Stone or Dio/Blackmore/Powell/Bain/Carey, (take your pick) is one of the top 5 greatest rock bands in history IMHO They were magic together. Enjoy!

So glad to see you rock out to all the stuff I grew up on…thank you 😁

Stargazer absolutely

Dio, Blackmore and Powell. What a great combination.

I'm the second! Great band, great reaction 🤗!

This is my favorite Rainbow line-up. Obviously you have Ritchie since this was his band but you have Dio in his prime and just killing it and Cozy Powell like a freight train. Bob Daisey himself an extraordinary musician who later discovered Randy Rhodes and I think David Stone's Goth aesthetic melded perfectly. This really is the benchmark of excellence in Metal. Love your reactions too. 😍

Blackmore's Rainbow 🌈 excellent concert tour 77' 🤘

You've reminded me just how good Rainbow were! Thanks Rebeka!!

i saw them 3 times in the 70s awesome live

That Wizard of Oz Intro always gives me Goosebumps and then that incredible change into Kill the King❤.awesome this concert in Munich 1977 is one of the best rock concerts ever recorded

Rainbow - "Stargazer" next please....

Catch The Rainbow live if you want a slow song from Rainbow, and it is a masterpiece.

I love this song too. Blackmore, Dio, and Powell were the abslute best of Rainbow back then. They were marvelous musicians.

Blackmore, el mejor guitarrista de la historia

The song Catch the Rainbow By Rainbow is a slow excellent song. I can listen to that song over and over.

Some naughty person married the Munich 1977 video with Kill the King from the live On Stage album. The song was purposely written to start the show. Rainbow from this era was one of the most intense, mindblowing musical experiences ever. Ritchie, Ronnie, Cozy playing music of the gods. Try Catch the Rainbow from the 1977 Munich show

This band is five people with super skills!! Dio is a wonderful singer. I really think you should do a reaction to something from Glenn Hughes as a soloartist or do Deep Purple "Burn" from California jam 1974 and you will hear him along side David Coverdale.

Epic! There is a story here. Mr. R.B was just realesed from jail before this gig. This due an odd incident that happened during a concert in Vienna some days prior to the Munich gig…Nobody actually knew if R.B would make this gig including himself…He actually entered the stage wearing the same clothes he had used there… one might see it in his persona. The Vienna police kept the «Ox» & realesed R.B…odd very odd that makes this performance even more special.

Another great song choice. Dio was only in Rainbow 🌈 for a short time but was my favorite singer in that band 🤘You may like Catch the Rainbow.

R.I.P. Cozzy Powell and R. J. Dio 😥😥😥

Your next Rainbow MUST LISTEN (to) is the EPIC "Stargazer" (Part 1) and it's continuation "A Light in the Black" (Part 2). Both from the "Rainbow Rising" album.

Video Munich '77, audio "On Stage"... Ritchie Blackmore, "The Master"

Kill the king is good but Catch the rainbow or mistreated are the good stuff from this concert, mistreated is a Deep Purple cover co written by Blackmore and he was the guitarist in Deep Purple for most of their classic stuff.

Terrible banda!! Y el señor DIO .. TREMENDA VOZ ..

This is the audio from the live on stage album.

This was my first ever concert - 22 November 1977 - Cardiff UK. Outstanding, I'm glad you enjoyed it all these years later.😊👍

I saw Rainbow on stage... it was fantastic. Thanks for this nice moment... I feel young again! 😉🎼🎸

Another nice reaction Rebeka - Ritchie Blackmore, Ronny James Dio and Cozy Powell in the same band was awesome - wish I'd seen Rainbow more times.

😮❤ loved it

Dio is a vocal powerhouse. Watch the live version of "Catch the Rainbow" 1977 Munich concert or "Mistreated", vocal and guitar masterpieces.

Blackmore Dio Powell .... Best Rainbow line up EVER!!!!

The audio and video are very cleverly put together. The track was recorded live in '76, but the video's from '77. And Ritchie Blackmore, guitarist, had just been released from Vienna jail after an onstage fight with an unpleasant bouncer! The bouncer came off worse and police were called. Great analysis, and I'm not surprised you were a little overwhelmed. Could I suggest you react to a UFO song? UFO appeal to Deep Purple family band fans. Phil Mogg, the singer, is as good as Ronnie Dio, David Coverdale, etc., but with a more "summery" tone. Out in the Street, Love to Love, or Rock Bottom, are all great songs. The guitarist, Michael Schenker, is on par with Ritchie Blackmore too. Cheers!

Great performace the Rainbow and Ritchie on the guitar . Rebeka please this video and reaction - Raibow - Cat the Rainbow live in Munich 1977 HD part 2 . Ok preaty woman . Kiss's .

You really need to check out Ronnie doing Mistreated from the same show. Ronnie's vocals are the best. R.I.P Ronnie

A slower song by Rainbow? Try "Catch the Rainbow" from their 1st album

Dio and Blackmore are creators of Medieval Rock...try to react to Lady in Lake from Rainbow! 🤟

Genios!!!!!!

Another Epic song by them is Gate of Babylon. Let it bring you to a mystic journey.

Stargazer gates a Babylon man on the silver mountain. I could go on forever with the amount of good songs. Is rainbow had

Dio is the greatest. Forever missed.

This is one of my favorite Rainbow songs! Everybody plays their heart out, and Dio's vocals are amazing! I am so glad you are reacting to Rainbow. I would highly recommend 'Sixteenth Century Greensleeves' by Rainbow. If you want slower songs by them, check out 'Rainbow Eyes' or 'Catch the Rainbow'.

I love that you love Queen (and Freddie obviously). I also respect that you have a very eclectic taste in music. I'd like to suggest 3 varied songs for you to react to. I hope you have never heard these before. Here goes:- 1. Talk Talk - It's My Life - once you hear it, it's impossible to forget. 2. ELO - Big Wheels - my favourite song of theirs - and believe me, they made a boat load of great songs. 3. Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved (the official video) - a stunning vocal performance and a beautiful back story on the video. The ELO song is really part of a continuous track from side 3 of the album "Out of the Blue". All four of these tracks played together are (in my humble opinion), the best side of any album I have heard. I feel your reactions are totally genuine and that is why I'd be interested in what you think of the above. I see plenty of videos on youtube where I don't get that vibe. Best to you. PS. I know you have reacted a lot to Queen, but "Death on Two Legs" from 1975's "Night At The Opera" is jaw-dropping.

Call me a creep or weirdo all you want, but this is the prettiest RU-vid reactor I’ve seen.

Kill the King is the best song by rainbow. They’ve done many masterpieces but this song is just 👌🏻

Couple of recommendations by Rainbow. Catch the Rainbow, Stargazer and A Light in the Black, Rainbow Eyes, Temple of the King.

"Holy Diver" might be a good song to listen to. "Rainbow in the dark" is also a pretty good jam. Just to get you started.

Weren’t many metal bands that I was into back in the day but some had real talent. Not just head-banging and obnoxiously loud. Those are the ones that I admire and respect as true musicians.

Best Dio's performances took place as the frontman of Black Sabbath in 2 + 1 albums. Try and enjoy them !! Do not forget Ozzy's era... the weirdest, rude and genially heavy metal compositions EVER !!

So glad I found your channel subscribed immediately and with respect you are beautiful I could look into your eyes 4ever❤️❤️

Support all the way from India. Stargazer the best song ever!!!

Same concert song mistreated

This audio is incorrect. The video is absolutely from the 1977 performance, but the audio is from the Deustchland Tournee CD from 1976 which had a different line-up, with Jimmy Bain on bass and Tony Carey on keys

Slower songs: Rainbow Eyes (with Rainbow), Catch the Rainbow (with Rainbow), Temple of the King (with Rainbow), Self Portrait (with Rainbow), Lonely is the Word (with Black Sabbath), Over and Over (with Black Sabbath), Too Late (with Black Sabbath), This is your Life (with DIO (the band)), As long as it's not about Love (with DIO), and maybe Egypt, too (with DIO).

If you want a really slow rock ballad, try Rainbow Eyes. But if you want to listen to one of the best heavy rock songs ever made, and it is a lot slower than this one, then you really need to do Stargazer, preferably followed immediately by A Light in the Black, because it follows Stargazer both lyrically and musically. Trust me, Stargazer won’t disappoint. Also, you may want to privately go and listen to the studio version of Kill the King. You may find it easier break it down musically and understand all the pieces.

Try with Eyes of the world. Nobody reacts that song but is another Blackmore's great theme

Awesome!

If you are looking for something lighter from this band, Temple Of The King , (which you've already heard), Rainbow Eyes and Catch The Rainbow are three that come to mind right away.

TRY YOYOKAS VERSION

Just Brilliant 💜

If you want even more instrumental parts, try Gentle Giant - Cogs In Cogs (live or studio one).

Questo album si chiama "On Stage"... ascoltalo tutto è una pietra miliare del rock.... ciao

For some reason this is the studio version dubbed over the live version from 1977 Munich. You should check out the actual live version from 1977 Munich… I saw a show from this tour in 1977 on Long Island in New York.. and that rainbow you see across the stage is real it danced with the music I was 17 at the time and it was incredible.. and Dio wrote the lyrics Blackmore wrote the music this is Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow

Dio..is no.1 rock vocalist of all times!

Great reaction have you listened to stargazer by rainbow

" Heaven and Hell", when Ronnie Dio was with Black Sabbath. Awesome.

Rebeka, check out "Man On A Silver Mountain"! Richie Blackmore and Ronnie put down an excellent vocals and guitar (Turn it up) vibe that is just flat out "a righteous tune". Give it a listen. : )

😄That's a nice effect. It's like you're part of the video.👍

Rainbow eyes

Temple of the King or Catch the Rainbow would be my suggestions for slower Rainbow/Dio songs.

Pantera...domination...live moskow 1991

"Heaven and hell" from Sabbath with RJ Dio on vocal is a masterpiece

Hi Rebeka! I love this song too! It is interesting, but the fact that it was released a year later on the record Long Live Rock'n'roll and at the concert looked exactly like on the record. And it's like a continuation of the previous epic A Light In The Black from the album Rising. In the same frenzied rhythm with a mind-blowing solo of keys and guitar.And if Ronnie Dio hadn't left Rainbow: then how many more brilliant things would have been written with Richie Blackmore.But, as fate would have it, Dio was taken to Black Sabbath and he continued to cut heavy metal.

Rainbow con DIO fue asombroso...de culto Gracias por la reacción!!

Saw an interview with RJDio before his passing where he said the theme of this song was "beware of false prophets," but when it comes to music, as in all art, it can be interpreted however way you see it.

Ahhhhh. The video is from the LIVE 1977, but the music is from the album ON STAGE. But very very wonderful song.

: )

Slower song?everybody recommend Catch The Rainbow..try my view..Temple of The King

Fantastic song...16 century greensleves..... bye the Ritchie Blackmore's rainbow had nothing to do with 🏳️‍🌈 it was named after a bar and grill in Hollywood which they would go too...

Rainbow with the God of Voice DIO and Jon Lord (Deep Purple)on Keys and Mister N.I.B Nibi (Black Sabbath) on Drumms and Mr..Arogand and selfloving Macho Rich´i Blackmore on Gittar is the time bevore Black Sabbath Rising and is Long Before Deep purple have her big Breakthrue and this Rainbow is the first hearing sounds of DIO`S Heavy Metal he and Jon Lord and Nib`i is Composing this Album Blackmore hate this style of Music and the Powerful Voices of Ronnie Quote Richard Blackmore "Ronnie's voice is too strong and the sound doesn't match what I think people want to hear "!!!! .....Pffft this is the Bitrhday of Heavy Metal ....and Dio is the God of it ....FAKT

Never tire of listening to this live performance

Hi, Reb. You should try « lady of the lake », always by Rainbow. It’s not that fast, and though it’s a powerful song, and soooo beautiful. And, by the way, thank you really for the music you chose to discover and share with us, old headbangers ! 🙏🤘🏻Rock on !!!

Hi Rebeka react to diffilt to cure live to Rainbow or cover to Deep Purple live Sydney 1984

Please react to Rainbow mistreated live 1977. Hard Rock's greatest vocal performance

Dio: opera, pop, heavy metal, jazz, blues, extraordinary.

The soundtrack is from 1976 on stage recording. The video is 1977.

The soundtrack is from 1976 on stage recording. The video is 1977.

I think I know what you need. You do not want to hear his range, you want to feel his range. I might just have the perfect track, but you will have to change bands. Ronnie James Dio was in many bands. Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio (named after...) You need to check out Black Sabbath 'The Sign of the Southern Cross'

You probably won't see this, but you have to check out 'Sitting in a Dream' and 'Homeward' From Roger Glover's 'Butterfly Ball' album. Dio sings on those two songs in a stunningly different way. That is an album that features many great singers.

Pretty sure this is the audio from Rainbow On Stage 1976 grafted on to the Munich 1977 video. No harm done, it's a pretty good fit, but sometimes the hands are just in the wrong place!

Holy Diver, Rainbow In The Dark 🌈 or when he was with Black Sabbath -Sign Of The Southern Cross, Heaven And Hell 👍🔥

It is wonderful to see your reaction to this very fast Rainbow-Song - you're looking very concentraited. Thank you, Queen Rebeka!

just so yous know this is not the live version form 1977 Munich concert this is the live version that is form the Live Album Rainbow On Stage

Sir Richard Hugh Blackmore ♈️ Thank You for the music 🔥
