Live in Germany 1976

Catalogue No: ER202392

Stepping out from the shadows of Deep Purple in 1975, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore quickly took his new band Rainbow to the forefront of hard rock with two powerful studio albums. Yet it was not until the band hit the road that their full potential began to be realized. This reissue of the band’s 1976 German tour clearly illustrates the breadth of Blackmore’s vision; his guitar playing has rarely been better and, with the talents of Cozy Powell on drums & Ronnie James Dio on vocals, these tapes show why fans regard this as the classic Rainbow lineup.
