Rainbow Unplugged
Ritchie and Doogie White jam over a pint in preparations for the 1995 Rainbow tour of Japan. Lovely! It’s been my long time pet theory that Doogie got the Rainbow gig not just because he’s an excellent singer, but because he can do all those wonderful ad lib drinking songs.
Cheers!
Thanks to Daniel Bengtsson for spotting this one.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
That is so cool!! Doogie is great!! Ritchie Rocks! And I am Impressed! Thanks Daniel for finding this one.
May 22nd, 2007 at 19:42Ritchie… sings?
May 23rd, 2007 at 05:11Great…Ritchie is a God and Doggie is his the Paladin!!!!
May 23rd, 2007 at 06:13They’re really crazy…and this is why they’s so great….
May 23rd, 2007 at 06:15Nothing but the natural madness amplified by the music!!!!
How Gay !!!. oOH Look into my eyes And Strip Me Down. A Couple Of More Beers And We wILL bE tWINKILING tHE iVORYS. oH rICHIE I LOVE YOU.
May 23rd, 2007 at 06:49OH MY GOD!!!
This is utter brilliance. This is the kind of thing that makes you believe Ian Gillan when he says he used to love Ritchie and his sense of humour.
The man in black is a legend and Doogie is fantastic in his role as court jester!!
God bless brilliance!!
May 23rd, 2007 at 08:44I THINK I’M ON TO SOMETHING. RITCHIE AND DOOGIE DOING A PROJECT WITH NOTHING BUT IRISH FOLK AND DRINKING SONGS. THERE APPEARS TO BE NOTHING HE CAN’T DO SO WHY NOT? I’D BUY IT.
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:11WOW !!!

May 23rd, 2007 at 17:04Thank the Lord it wasnt JLT!! I dont think my stomach could have stood that!!
May 24th, 2007 at 04:07yeah… richie sings!!! HAHAHHA
May 24th, 2007 at 09:22Glorious, glorious, glorious. That’s the best answer to those who think the Man in Black has no sense of humor.
May 24th, 2007 at 12:06(I sometimes indulge on that unfair assumption too.)
May 24th, 2007 at 12:08Thank you Lord for a guitarplayer like Ritchie…
May 24th, 2007 at 13:39Simply the best…..
Doogie is great. We met him at a Rainbow show. He was standing in the lobby just watching people walk by. My buddy spotted him and we went over to talk to him. He was the nicest, most gracious person. We talked about our love for Purple music, what was it like to work with Ritchie etc. It was like talking to an old high school friend who made it big, not a rock star. I will always remember that day. I really liked that Rainbow period.
May 25th, 2007 at 08:33ohh great
May 25th, 2007 at 09:36how i miss r.b having fun in his music
Wow, Ritchie Blackmore, it was because of you I began guitar lessons at the age of 13, and here I am at 45 continued to be WoWed. Just watching you & Doogie sitting around jamming and I’m remembering why I started in the first place! I seen you in Vancouver it was the “Difficult to Cure” album, again, wow, got to see the guy I most wanted to copy!…..cool!
May 26th, 2007 at 00:55It’s grat enjoy this. It’s a pity that Ritchie does not vontinue Rainbow with Doogie, because his voice was very good with the talent of The Master.
May 26th, 2007 at 05:40And thanks to the THS for this moments unknow for me.
Just wonderful! How I miss this f****** a***** in the band! RB is the one!
May 26th, 2007 at 07:16And Doogie White is great. A really good singer. I wish they had chosen him instead of JLT!
As allways Ritchie is grate and Doogie is one of the most greate rivelation of him.
May 26th, 2007 at 10:02thank you for putting it in!
they are both great and Doogie is the very best singer, I know since I heard and saw him the first time.
May 27th, 2007 at 02:44Brilliant F****** brilliant
May 27th, 2007 at 17:45what can you say about Ritchie that hasn’t been said…a constant inspiration and benchmark of virtuosity…now if Fender would only reissue that Strat I could truly be happy !!! and that singin’ bloke is very impressive, not many “names” could improvise on any level let alone as fluid as he…great stuff !!
May 28th, 2007 at 04:19The way Blackmore looks at Doogie sometimes is scary 🙂
Great couple
May 28th, 2007 at 11:11que grande es Mr. Negro !!! Alberto, tienes razón, a veces parece que le va a estampar el vaso en la cara al rubiales, pero acaba cantando la “canción del sad alcoholic” y todo. ¡vaya dos!
espero que deje alguna vez los libros de caballerias y vuelva a rockear
May 31st, 2007 at 15:09Hilarious!!From a time when old “Blackers” still had a sense of humour!
June 1st, 2007 at 04:28I realise when I watch Blackmore in that clip, the reasons why I learnt guitar.
If you watch him in Blackmores Nights you will understand why I sold my guitar
June 1st, 2007 at 08:35Compare to That’ll be the day on Nobody’s Perfect !!
June 4th, 2007 at 06:42At least it was in the right key.
Doogie does this many times. i’ve seen him improv on YOU TUBE a few times, and i also saw them in 97 and he did some during the show i saw.
June 8th, 2007 at 19:37I saw DP in 1973 in Tucson, AZ at the age of 7. 1st concert ever. i have loved RB’s chops ever since, and as i listen now, i am convinced that he is one of the best. ever. Nobody plays or sounds like him. thankyou for posting these vids. i get chills still.
