RITCHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW revived in the 90's with Doogie White. Introducing a super-excellent live album that tells you about that first masterpiece. The famous performance is “Hanover performance on October 8, 1995”. It is a transcendental audience recording. The biggest point of this work is that even in the early stages of the tour, which has just restarted, you can fully experience the masterpieces in progress with super-best sound. This is a masterpiece that I fully recommend to beginners who are not collectors aiming to complete the book, so let's first review the basics. Let's start with the full story of RAINBOW's activities in the 90's. 1995《August release of “The Solitary Stranger”》・September 30th - November 4th: Europe #1 (25 performances) ←★Here★ ・November 11th - 23rd: Japan (9 performances) 1996・June 27th-July 7th: South America (8 performances) ・July 21st-August 11th: Europe #2 (13 performances)《Chuck Berghi leaves → John Miceli joins》February 1997 20th - March 19th: North America (18 performances) / May 31st: Denmark (final performance)《RAINBOW disbanded → BLACKMORE'S NIGHT started》 [Super famous recording that updated the highest peak with 1st generation & brush up] This is A panoramic view of the Dougie era. In 1995, we only traveled to Europe and Japan, which are big votes, but among them, the Hannover performance of this work was also in the early stages. This was the fifth concert. Speaking of Germany in 1995, it is most famous for the ROCKPALAST professional shot, which was also made official, but this work is also the day before that. This show has traditionally been famous for two reasons. One is that an amazing recording was left behind. At that time, the box ``RITCHIE BOWS TO GERMANY'', which compiled the five performances of the German tour, became a hot topic, and among them, the quality of the sound was outstanding, with an extremely thick core, details that could be heard everywhere if you listened carefully, and a zero-distance drum. The close contact was also worthy of being called "just like a sound board." At that time, the standard ROCKPALAST pro shot was not as good as it is now, so it was a super famous recording that was whispered as "1995 Europe's masterpiece". This work is a reissue of such an old masterpiece. . . Well, no. The latest and highest peak master that has only recently appeared. It is a masterpiece that was digitized directly from the 1st Gene Master, which was provided by the recording artist himself. What's more, we also carry out meticulous mastering in-house. It also makes the contours stand out and improves the appearance. We have also thoroughly corrected the minute noise that you only notice when you listen to it with headphones. As a result, the original sound was “like a soundboard” at its finest, but it has been brushed up to the point where you wonder, “Where is the audience for this!?” [The first great performance of the 1990s that reached its true potential] Now. The second reason why this show was famous is because of the great performances. As you can see from the schedule above, RAINBOW premiered at the end of September 1995, but at that time it was an extension of rehearsals. After that, the performance continued to improve with one performance at a time, and the fifth performance in Hannover (this work) has gained a reputation as the first full-force performance and famous performance. The set is basically the same as the ROCKPALAST pro shot (the difference is that "Black Night" is served at the end), so I will omit it, but the key point is energy. There is a mistake in the composition in the opening of "Spotlight Kid", so it is not "perfect / ironclad in every corner", but the momentum that does not make it a thing is amazing. Anyway, the beat is crisp and pleasant, and each riff is crisp. The promised texture is also very precise, and when it comes to solos, both the guitar and keyboard deliver fiery phrases. Even if you make a mistake, there is no sense of collapse, and even though there is plenty of power and momentum, there is no danger. Another point is the vocals. The main Dougie is in great condition and the highs are growing comfortably, but at the same time, the chorus of Greg Smith and Candice Knight is also wonderful. In particular, there are some shows where you can't hear Candice's chorus at all, but in this work it is well arranged and can be heard firmly. The chorus style of "Too Late for Tears" and "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" and the harmony of "Temple Of The King" are thick, yet beautifully separated. Of course, the “Burn” twin, which was a hot topic at the time, is also a better combination than the original Coverdale/Hughes. Orasu's "Black Night" symbolizes such a great performance. After “Smoke On The Water,” “Over The Rainbow” was played at the venue to announce the end of the show, but the band never woke up even after it was over, so they reappeared! "Do you have any requests?" he asked, and Doogie's signature drinking songs descended into "Black Night." It's obvious that he hasn't rehearsed and the result is a mess, but it's his unconcerned good mood that's dazzling. It is a live album that shows how satisfied Richie was. Good sound, good songs, good performance...this is a masterpiece of a live album that has the three essential elements of a great musical work at an extremely high level. When Ritchie Blackmore is motivated by a fresh band, he is invincible. It is a sonic evidence that speaks more eloquently than a thousand words. A superb audience recording of the "October 8, 1995 Hannover Performance", known as RAINBOW's first major performance in the 90s. It is a masterpiece that was directly digitized from the 1st Gene Master that was provided by the recording artist himself, and the extremely thick core, the details that can be heard everywhere if you listen closely, and the close contact with zero distance make it worthy of being called ``just like a sound board.'' . Furthermore, unique mastering makes the contours stand out and improves the clarity. Even minute noises have been thoroughly corrected to maximize the potential of the original sound. Even more intense than that sound is the passionate performance, with crisp beats, riffs, and solos. This is a masterpiece that allows you to experience a full show in which Richie is in such a good mood that after “Over The Rainbow” flows, it falls into the 2nd encore of “Black Night”.
