This band ( to my ears and eyes ) are going from strength to strength…we don’t particularly need old Rainbow or Deep Purple songs ( though we got Soldier Of Fortune )…Blackmore’s Night are what they are a disciplined talented band playing fantastic renaissance folk rock music with the greatest rock guitarist ever ( and yes he still is! ) I can’t with for the DVD and the next album and tour." review: Anthony Quinn Also, to see Ritchie enjoy himself so much was a sight to behold, in fact the whole band looked fresh and they played their hearts out to an enthusiastic sold out York audience. The drum solo was a welcome surprise and I haven’t witnessed a drum solo live in ages…Malcolm played excellent and I should mention that Candice sang superbly and her voice and projection have improved a hell of a lot. I was particularly impressed with the inclusion of Journeyman and The Circle which included two long guitar solos from Ritchie on his Strat which I can only describe as otherworldly. Anyway, the band played for 2 and a half hours and had to be pulled off the stage at the end. I agree with all the reviews so far on this site, and at York Ritchie and his talented band put on a show which can only be described as amazing! It started a little on the late side, around 840 and I thought Ritchie had issues with the camera people on stage ( it was filmed for a DVD release ) but I guess this wasn’t the case. "My partner and I visited this beautiful city and watched the fabulous Blackmore’s Night perform their array of medieval and renaissance music. Your reviews, pics and memorabilia to the dpas mailbox
