Recorded at the Messezentrum in Nürnberg on 28 September 1976, this set captures Rainbow on their first European tour - the Rising-era lineup of Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Cozy Powell, Jimmy Bain and Tony Carey, playing sold-out halls on the strength of the first two albums. The performance circulated for years only on a Japan-only CD; here it reaches vinyl for the first time, newly mastered by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham and pressed across three black LPs in a widespine sleeve.
The material is foundational Rainbow: the slow-building drama of "Catch the Rainbow," the gallop of "Man on the Silver Mountain," and a "Stargazer" that explains why the band's reputation rests so heavily on what it did onstage. Imported from the UK.
