Rainbow released their new album "Stranger in Us All" under the name "Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow" in August 1995, and on September 30th, the first day of their long-awaited European tour, they performed at the highest level in Helsinki, Finland. Completely recorded with ultra-high quality audience recording. It is the same sound source as the sound source released in the past, but we have now obtained the higher-level master. You can enjoy the first day of the memorable 1995 World Tour with the highest quality sound ever. An easily discernable difference in the overall sound pressure and scale of the sound was confirmed, and you can listen to the sound source of this day, which originally had good sound, with perfect sound. The sound quality is so high that it can be said to be exceptional as an audience recording of this era, and while it is sufficiently thick, there is also a perfect sense of separation between each instrument. You can clearly hear every single bass note. Fortunately, there are no annoying audience members around, and the recorder's microphone captures the musical sound as clearly as possible. The recording level is stable from start to finish, and you can enjoy the show with extremely good sound that fans of all levels can enjoy. It seems that they had rehearsed carefully before starting the tour, and the performance was so stable that it was hard to believe it was the first day.Although there are some rough parts in a good way, the performance was breath-taking and splendid throughout. Masu. The opening BGM ``Land Of Hope And Glory'', which perfectly sets the mood for Rainbow's fresh start, resonates in the venue's enthusiastic mood, and you can feel the audience's excitement and pleasant tension that ``it's finally starting''. From Over The Rainbow to the fast-paced Spotlight Kid. You can feel the roar of joy from the audience, and experience the wonderful excitement that makes you think of the real thrill of a live album. Dougie's "Ladies & Gentlemen, Ritchie Blackmore!" shout before the guitar solo is also cool, and Ritchie's solo is also wonderful. Dougie's high range came out surprisingly well on this day, and his high-quality performance that perfectly determined the important points is the best thing. The sound is similar to that of a club band, but it matches the band's energetic performance with a sense of unity, and fans can listen to it with great pleasure. You can enjoy an exquisite performance even in the sharp performance of Too Late For Tears. Although it is Long Live Rock'N'Roll that seems to be a large chorus at the venue, the musical tone is recorded very well, so the performance will not be drowned out by the cheers. The call and response with the audience in the middle is also recorded with a very good balance. On the way, Dougie is showing off vocals reminiscent of the interaction between Richie and Gillan in the latter half of Strange Kind Of Woman. In the middle of Black Night, you can hear Doogie's improvisation of Starstruck. Traditional songs familiar from the Doogie era also appear. Hunting Humans is a really solid performance that seems to be the first performance, and it feels different from the slow and fast-paced, high-quality performances that can be heard in later performances in Japan. Dougie lifts Richie up in front of Blues and says, ``Master of Stratocaster, Blackmore Blues!'' Following the short Blues of less than 1 minute, the new song Wolf To The Moon will be performed vigorously. The balance between the chorus and keyboard is excellent, allowing you to enjoy a masterpiece filled with a positive feeling. Although the song is compact, it goes directly to Diffcult To Cure. Although the performance is a little rough, it is full of power. In between the keyboard solos, there are a series of famous songs reminiscent of the early golden age such as Still I'm Sad, Man On The Silver Mountain, and Temple Of The King, which also include drum solos. In particular, during the intro to Temple Of The King, which will be one of the highlights of the upcoming tour, it was moving to see the audience roar as they sensed this, and it was wonderful to see them perform so passionately that the enthusiasm of the venue seemed to be transferred to the performers. , you can experience an emotional time. This is a great recording that directly conveys the feeling of sharing a special time. The performance continued with a medley of the dynamic new song Black Masquerade. Candace's voice can also be heard in Ariel. Another new song here is Stand And Fight, which is played vigorously. It's a straight melodic rock that pairs well with the dramatic Ariel, but during the chorus, the audience sings along, and Richie sings a lively riff and solo (the long solo in the second half of the song is a must-see!), but for some reason, the next day... This take is extremely valuable because the set was dropped from then on and it was never played again. At the Stockholm performance the next day, Since You Been Gone, which will be played in the introduction of Perfect Strangers, will not be played on this day. Following the majestic performance of Perfect Strangers, the familiar flow of closing the show with the big song Hall Of The Mountain King was overwhelming, and the fans were once again reminded that ``The first show of the reorganized Rainbow was this amazing.'' I'm sure you will. Richie, who reappeared in front of the audience who wanted an encore with the “Rainbow” call, lightly played the guitar, and then the Burn that started vigorously was a masterpiece. Dougie's vocals are also surprisingly powerful from start to finish, and he mesmerizes the listener with a stunning performance that makes you think that there are few vocalists who can control the high range so well. Richie's solo is just like the peak, and everyone will fall in love with its wild and accurate play. The last song is Smoke On The Water, and Richie's play, which is different from the casual play of late Purple, is the best, and you will fall in love with every single sound. It is no exaggeration to say that the sound quality is perfect up to the last Over The Rainbow, and it can be said to be a masterpiece recording disc with no apparent flaws. A must-have for fans who can enjoy the best performance of the best performance with the best sound that directly conveys Richie's passion for his new band! !
