Hammersmith in 1995, which is legendary for being the "longest show in RAINBOW history". A spectacular video that allows you to witness the scene has been decided to be released. The legendary performance took place on "November 3, 1995". The performance was held for two consecutive days at Hammersmith Apollo, but this work was filmed on the first day. What kind of period was that in RAINBOW's history? First, let's look back on the whole picture of their activities in the 1990s. 1995: August release of "Solitary Stranger" September 30-November 4: Europe #1 (25 shows) ←★Here★ November 11-23: Japan (9 shows) 1996: June 27-July 7: South America (8 shows) July 21-August 11: Europe #2 (13 shows) Chuck Burge leaves the band, John Miceli joins 1997: February 20-March 19: North America (18 shows) May 31: Denmark (final show) RAINBOW disbands, BLACKMORE'S NIGHT starts This is the 90s RAINBOW sung by Dougie White. The tour started in Europe just after the release of "STRANGER IN US ALL", and the "Europe #1" is also well known for the fact that the official video "BLACK MASQUERADE" was left behind. Let's zoom in and look at just 1995. August: "Solitary Stranger" released September 30: Helsinki performance (premiere) October 2: Stockholm performance October 3-8 (3 performances) October 9: Dusseldorf performance ← ※ Official video October 10-November 1 (17 performances) November 3: Hammersmith performance ← ★ This work ★ November 4: Hammersmith performance November 11-23: Japan (9 performances) This is the whole view of 1995. The Hammersmith 2 performance was the last highlight of that "Europe # 1". It was also one week before the visit to Japan. This work recorded at such a show is an audience shot that depicts a "breathtaking view". Looking down from the second floor seats on the right side of the stage (Paul Morris side), the stage occupies the view without any obstructions. From there, the camera zooms in boldly, filling the screen with half of Richie's body at its fullest. The beauty of the composition shows the photographer's sense. The seats don't change, so it's half coincidence, but when the camera zooms in, Dougie, Richie, and Greg Smith are standing in a formation, so it's easy to see that the cameraman is not just a casual tourist, but someone who is truly captivated by RAINBOW. However, it's not perfect. There is a slight crackling noise in the audio, and there are cuts here and there. This beautiful image depicts a great performance that was hailed as a legend in RAINBOW history! Dougie, the person involved, said the following about how amazing the show was. "That show was really great. I enjoyed the great atmosphere, and above all, it was the longest live show. I think we played more than two and a half hours. We played a lot of songs we hadn't played before, and some songs I didn't know at all. [Omitted] When we returned to the stage to do another encore, Richie's guitar was gone. Someone had stolen it. But two guys came out of the audience and came back to the hall holding the guitar up like a trophy. It was a big fuss. Richie gave them party passes, took the guitar, and did another encore. It was absolutely amazing!" Unfortunately, this work is about two hours out of the two and a half hours. We can't witness the encore in the anecdote. However, we can see the explosive excitement that supports the anecdote in detail. Anyway, Richie is in a good mood and is in the groove. No, it's not like he's running and jumping around and going wild, but he plays and plays and plays. Even in the backing, he puts in more obbli than usual, and the phrases don't stop. He played one improvisation after another, playing Greensleeves, Rainbow Eyes, Mistreated, Northern Lights Of Old Aberdeen, and other improvised songs. Rainbow Eyes is a cappella, and Mistreated is only halfway through, but this day may have been the trigger for it to be included in the regular set later. This is certainly a great performance and a passionate performance. Richie is a person who has a big difference in performance, but it is rare to see Richie being so blatantly in the groove. If this was master quality, if it was a complete recording, there is no doubt that it would have become a masterpiece that would make the official pro shot out of the question. Well, there is no point in asking for something that does not exist. Even though it is 4/5 of the full show, it must be a stroke of luck to be able to experience a miraculous performance from a special seat. This is a piece that promises such a blissful moment. Audience footage of the legendary performance, which was the "longest live performance in RAINBOW history," has been released. Unfortunately, it is an incomplete recording, but you can enjoy the explosive stage for two hours with a spectacular view without any obstructions.
