Ritchie Blackmore led the new RAINBOW in North America in 1997. This legendary recording, which tells the final chapter of the hard rock era, has been unexpectedly upgraded. It's been reborn with the original master and the latest remaster! This work features the "February 28, 1997 Columbus Performance." This is the ultimate audience recording. RAINBOW, which resurrected in the 1990s with Doogie White, was active for two years, with 1997 being its final year. Let's start by looking back at the overall picture of the reunited RAINBOW and examine the position of this work. 1995 (August: "Solitary Stranger" released) September 30th - November 4th: Europe #1 (25 shows) ←※Official BLACK MASQUERADE November 11th-23rd: Japan (9 shows) 1996 June 27th - July 7th: South America (8 shows) July 21st - August 11th: Europe #2 (13 shows) (Chuck Burge leaves → John Miceli joins) 1997 February 20th - March 19th: North America (18 shows) ←★Here★ May 31st: Denmark (final show) (RAINBOW disbands → BLACKMORE'S NIGHT Launch》This is a complete picture of RAINBOW's activities in the 90s.

Some of you may already know this, but this day was also known for being one of the best recordings of the "North American" leg, and the press masterpiece "FINAL CHAPTER" was a big hit in our store. In fact, the true identity of this work is an upgraded master of that masterpiece recording. The person who recorded it digitized it from the original master and further remastered it. It is a new version released after being released. In fact, the sound is master quality. It was a masterpiece recording that was pressed with the master, but this time it is even more precise and clear. Even the subtleties of the subtleties are felt, and the glossy seamless sound is extremely beautiful. In fact, the press masterpiece "FINAL The main appeal of "FINAL CHAPTER" was the direct feeling of a soundboard, but this work is even more so, an overwhelmingly beautiful recording with finer details. Even more beautiful and dynamically finished mastering Furthermore, the mastering by the recorder himself is also a feature of this work (or should I say, this is quite unique and may be the best thing to listen to in this work). While it realizes a velvety smoothness that makes the most of the finer details, it is also quite wide. The reason for this is the stereo feeling. Those who have experienced "FINAL CHAPTER" may remember the direct sound concentrated in the center, but this work is completely different, with a wide echo feeling that creates dynamism. Specifically, the center of the sound is slightly to the right (about between the eyebrows and the right eye), and then the sound seems to stretch out to the left (this is probably not a characteristic of the recording, but due to the remastering. Not only the performance sounds and MCs, but even the cheers of the audience flow to the left). To be honest, it's an unfamiliar feeling, but it's not a bad thing, and it's actually quite interesting. The glossiness is enhanced, reinforcing the beauty of the performance and the dynamism of the music. Of course, it would be counterproductive if the echo made it blurry, but this work is different. The key is the strong sense of intimacy of the original recording. Apparently, this recording was recorded in the front row (it was customary for Richie to serve beer to the front legs on this tour, but Taper himself received it on this day). The extremely thick core, which is only possible because of the physical proximity, breaks through the echo and jumps into your ears with every fine detail. The masterpiece "FINAL" boasted a direct soundboard-like feel. Compared to "Final Chapter," this release offers a meticulous master sound and unique stereo experience. It's a beautiful live album with a unique character that's hard to believe it's the same recording. A few months after this release, Ritchie switched to Blackmore's Night, never again pursuing hard rock as his main career. This new masterpiece immerses you in the pure sound of this tour, which could be considered the final destination. This recording is a remaster of the master recording known for the superb audience recording of the February 28, 1997, Columbus concert, known as "Final Chapter." The sound is now even more detailed and clearer, with exceptionally detailed detail and a lustrous, seamless sound. The unique, extensive mastering by the recording artist himself allows you to fully experience Ritchie Blackmore's final North American tour in 1997.
