Blackmore’s Night Blackmore’s Night/Russia 2011

This is a recording of a live performance at Crocus City Hall Moscow / Russia on September 23rd, 2011. After giving birth in 2010 and raising her children, Candice Night is very stable and Ritchie Blackmore is also quite relaxed, giving the impression that this live performance is somehow very warm. The tour since the beginning of 2011 has a more up-tempo stage composition compared to 2009, and the performance is so good that your body naturally takes the rhythm. Four songs are performed from “Autumn Sky” to “All The Fun Of The Fayre”, “Highland”, “Barbara Allen”, and “Strawberry Girl”. The rest are covers of Rainbow Depp Purple and old hits, which are very enjoyable, and on CD02 “Toast To Tomorrow”, you can fully enjoy Ritchie’s guitar solo, including a Lady Gaga song. The sound quality is surprisingly good, even though it is recorded in an audience, and the recording position is good and the recording is very well balanced. There is no problem with the clarity.
