The Graham Bonnet era is one of the most popular in the history of rainbow. The release of this treasure live album has been decided. This work contains the "February 16, 1980 Munich performance". It is a special audience recording. The era ended with only one tour, with the strongest star players comparable to the second period DEEP PURPLE. First, let's check the position of the show from the overall picture. [1979] "DOWN TO EARTH" released on July 28th September 18th - October 12th: North America #1 (18 performances) November 6th - December 13th: North America #2 (24 performances) [1980] January 17th - February 16th: Europe (21 performances) ←★Here★ February 19th - March 8th: UK (14 performances) May 8th - 15th: Japan (6 performances) August 8th - 16th: Scandinavia + MOR (4 performances) This is the best RAINBOW footprint. The legendary first MONSTERS OF ROCK is famous as a highlight, but this Munich performance was just six months before that. It was the final day of the "European" tour, which is a major voting area. This work, which records such a show, has a very clear audience sound. Although it is a master that has only recently appeared, although the bass is a little off, it cuts through the transparent atmosphere and reaches straight and sharp. Some instruments have a sense of distance, but there is almost no echo in the venue, and it jumps into your hands without any muddiness or cloudiness. Particularly wonderful are Richie and Graham. In the sound with a sense of distance, only the guitar and vocals are captured on. The Stratocaster sound is glossy yet clear in detail, and even each fine picking is vivid. Even a little choking is so real that the movement of the fingers that control the depth comes to mind. And the vocals are also wonderful at a breathing level. Graham's vocals are the most important factor in determining the quality of this period, but on this day they were in top form! If you bark, you will be strong, the high notes will extend endlessly, and the sense of stability is outstanding. You can feel the good performance even to the breathing. Also, although it feels a little different from the guitar and vocals that are approaching, Cozy's drumming is just as intense. The hard sound, said to be "like hitting a drum can," is extremely vivid, and each hit is struck at a very sharp angle without leaving any reverberation. Like the bass, the heavy bass is a little thin, so it stands out more as powerful than powerful. Graham is in top form, so it's a sound that makes you want to call it a "new triumvirate." In fact, the masters available on the Internet are unstable and a little muffled, but this work has been properly corrected. The high notes are clear, and the best sound that you can immerse yourself in with confidence and accuracy of pitch has been created. The "strongest RAINBOW" that shone too brightly in a too short period of time. It is a new treasure that has engraved that masterpiece. It is a blessing to be able to listen to even one performance, but this is a crystal clear live album that far transcends such dimensions.
