First time ever vinyl release for this incredible live concert from Rainbowâs debut world tour and documenting one of the bandâs first ever shows in Europe, at Cologneâs Kölner Sporthalle on 25th September 1976.
Released on 3LP with each disc pressed in a different colour of the Rainbow (Translucent Red, Yellow and Blue) and Newly Mastered by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham When Rainbow finally landed in Europe for their debut live shows there, it was on the back of both the albums âRitchie Blackmoreâs Rainbowâ and âRainbow Risingâ having charted, so the band were playing sold out venues, and what a band⊠with the line up consisting of Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James, Cozy Powell, Jimmy Bain and Tony Carey As one of the cornerstones of British Rock, Rainbow, led by the never-predictable but ever-astonishing guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore, became synonymous with some of the most well regarded and popular charting Rock songs of the seventies and eighties.
This show recorded on the bands Rainbow Rising tour in 1976 in Cologne Germany, features stone cold classics such as âStargazerâ and âMan on the Silver Mountainâ. This live album has only been available on CD pressings originally made 20 years ago, both as a single concert / as part of the Japan only 6-CD Box Set Deutschland Tournee 1976. Now nearly 50 years on from the original concert, the recording makes itâs debut appearance on a vinyl format with the audio Newly mastered by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham
