*** Long Live Rock 'n' Roll Tour ***
Personnel: Ritchie Blackmore – guitar, Ronnie James Dio – lead vocals, Cozy Powell – drums, David Stone – keyboards, Bob Daisley – bass, backing vocals.Notes: This set from Tarantura offers the Mr. Peach recording of Rainbow’s 15th concert on their tour of Japan to support the Long Live Rock and Roll album. The recording is good to very good, slightly distant that really captures the atmosphere well. The crowd is very enthusiastic and the band rewards them with inspired playing. A brief instrumental take of God Save The Queen by Ritchie segues the Over The Rainbow into a furious instrumental that leads directly into Kill The King, the crowd greats the band with huge applause and follows them at every turn.
All in all a fantastic concert for a equally fantastic audience whose enthusiasm takes this show to a high level of emotion and performance. This great show comes in a gatefold packaging of what looks to be the ticket to the concert adorning the cover while the inside has a picture of the recording devise and master cassette tapes and a shot of Blackmore. the only negative being the track listing and information on the back cover is printed in very light lettering and is difficult to read. Nothing but praise goes to Tarantura for their continuing efforts in releasing these important recordings of Rainbow in Japan, they are enjoyed by this collector and hopefully many others.<-(Info taken from Collectors Music Reviews).
