I have been watching a bit of Blackmore's Night. Two live Concerts Paris Moon and Castles and Dreams
He obviously plays a couple of acoustics and they are pretty renaissance retro

They have about three encores and the crowd starts singing 'Black Night' and Ritchie comes out with white strat and the band do Black Night.
He is incredible, and thank goodness the DVD actually shows what he is doing, he has an amazing technique, a lot of upstrokes and bends, plus he uses his (Right Hand) fingers a lot(Hectically long fingernails). I got goosebumps!
