Sorry, but Page is not even in the same galaxy as Blackmore. Page wrote some great songs with R. Plant and that’s why i love zepp. But back in 1972 NOBODY was playing anything other than the same blues pentatonic scales over and over. Ritchie was the FIRST axeman to introduce sweeps and linnear triads in his solos, he still sounded “bluesy” at times, but this stuff was space age back in the early 70′s. Just buy “Fireball” or “In rock”, and then compare it to paige or hendrix.

It’s a shame there are so few quality videos of Blackmore on stage. Jimmy Page has “The Song Remains the Same” movie with its Quadrophonic sound to immortalize his stage performances, but all we have of Blackmore is a few blurry clips shot from a distance, with relatively bad sound recording. This is one of the better videos, which is why I saved it as a favorite.

Love that natural-finish, maple-neck Strat in the opening clip – thinking of buying one. I think RB played his best stuff on that guitar. This was during the “Long Live Rock & Roll” era of Rainbow, I believe.
