Rainbow / London, UK 2017 S & V

] The heat is finally on for the 2017 RAINBOW. Here comes the ultimate live set that will permanently preserve the highest peak record of the first day! RITCHIE BLACKMORE’S RAINBOW has already finished all three scheduled performances and has been a hot topic this year. We have also released all the performances in our shop, and we have received a great response from everyone. After the news, it’s time for a title that you can enjoy over and over again. This work contains “June 17, 2017: London Performance”. It is a three-disc set with the best recorded live album on discs 1-2 and the best multi-camera audience shots on disc 3. Now, let’s check the position of this London performance once again. 《RITCHIE BLACKMORE’S RAINBOW》 June 17: London performance [this work] June 22: Manchester performance (cancelled) June 25: Glasgow performance June 28: Birmingham performance 《BLACKMORE’S NIGHT》 July 30-August 19: Europe (9 performances) [Disc 1-2: Live album (remaster)] This is the live schedule for 2017 that has been announced so far. RAINBOW only had three performances, and Richie is currently preparing for his main job, BLACKMORE’S NIGHT, on tour. This work is the first day of such a RAINBOW. First of all, a full live album set of two discs. It is a remaster of the same recording as the “STONE FREE FESTIVAL 20171)” released in advance. The quality is like a different sound source! Although it was a rich and good recording from the beginning, the atmosphere felt a bit cloudy. In this work, the cloudiness clears up quickly, and the performance and singing voice come forward. The air is crystal clear and the musical core is thrust in front of you. The direct feeling that can be heard almost in another position has been reborn as a masterpiece worthy of being called “a sound board”. Of course, it is not a forced sound pressure remaster. For many years, our shop has released hundreds of Ritchie Blackmore’s entire career from DEEP PURPLE to BLACKMORE’S NIGHT, and has continued to deal with that tone. We mobilized all of our knowledge and experience, focusing on reproducing “the sound that really sounded” while making the most of the “sound” of the original recording. And it was also a big thing that it was a recording that can be used. Even though it is a remaster with modern technology, it is not an all-purpose magic, and depending on the personality of the original recording, it does not go well with the remaster, and there are recordings that do not improve no matter how hard you try, and conversely, there are recordings that have the potential to improve dramatically. This work is the latter. Well, the first day of “2017 RAINBOW” depicted by that sound. This is also a special show for these three days! In the early release, I was surprised by the newly introduced “I Surrender” and “All Night Long” and the stage direction, but now that the three performances have been completed, the points have become clear. The biggest and best scene is definitely “Still I’m Sad”! 21st century RAINBOW performed a total of six performances in 2016 and 2017. “Still I’m Sad” was only performed once on this day. This work is also a one-time record of the highest peak. Moreover, not only is it valuable, but the content is also wonderful. Although he played in the Doogie White era, Ronnie Romero is an even better actor. He exquisitely interweaves romantic vocalization into his wild voice quality and powerful singing, which is intertwined with Richie’s lustrous tone. This heroic yet fantastical world is definitely the first since Ronnie James Dio. Last year, Richie told Romero, “I want to introduce new talent to everyone,” and Romero is certainly not an ordinary metal singer. And Richie, who has regained his confidence after last year’s success, is also wonderful. When we released the early news, we said, “I’m looking forward to seeing how much better it gets,” but it seems that this first day was the best. Of course, the second and third days may be better in terms of inspiration and sharpness on a song-by-song and phrase-by-phrase basis, but overall the tension of the first day is felt and it is tight. However, the sound of this work may be too good and even the performance may sound shining… [Disc 3: Multi-camera audience] And on disc 3, we have prepared the best audience shots where you can witness such a great performance. Until now, we have introduced the video on the gift board, but this disc is a different multi-camera specification. The quality is superb. It is assembled by collecting all kinds of videos flying around the Internet and examining both the quality and the highlights. Of course, it is a wonderful video work that switches angles not only on a song-by-song basis, but also on a phrase-by-phrase basis. Because it is a multi-camera specification, it cannot be said that “the angle is ○○”, but the image quality unique to the latest digital is super vivid, and the best close-up is professional shot. On top of that, the video production of the giant screen is also firmly grasped. That action of Richie depicted with that quality, Romero’s heroic appearance, the huge eyeball of “STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES”, the appearance of Ronnie Dio in the past … All of them are must-sees, but the highlight of the first day is “Since You Been Gone”. You can see a collaboration with the original author Russ Ballard. Just “moving Russ” is valuable, but you can see it with plenty of close-ups on the multi-camera. The sociable Romero who is excited with Russ on his shoulders, and Richie who plays calmly as if “I don’t care” are also interesting scenes. The one and only “Still I’m Sad” is also delicious, and the “first day of 2017” is highly regarded as the number one RAINBOW of the 21st century. This is a live album of the highest quality and a multi-camera shot that will permanently preserve that masterpiece. This is the world that the originator of British hard rock has reached.
