Rainbow/Niigata,Japan 1976 & more Complete

The Hague performance in the Netherlands on October 18, 1976, and the Niigata Prefectural Civic Hall performance on January 31, 1978, both of which used ultra-high-quality masters that appeared for the first time, released titles that would shock enthusiasts! Although each performance is not completely recorded at 66 minutes and 72 minutes, it is recorded with incredibly high sound quality and is a must-listen for fans. First of all, the Den Hague performance from the 1976 Rising Euro Tour. Rising Arrow’s first release “Den Haag 1976” was also recorded with excellent sound quality and received very high praise from enthusiasts, but this take is a completely different sound source, and moreover, it was recorded in 1976, including the Japanese performance. It is recorded with an extremely high sound quality that is considered to be the highest sound quality on the tour. The tape cuts out in the second half of Stargazer’s guitar solo, but this is the first complete sound source that will surprise enthusiasts, and fans will be able to immerse themselves in the spectacular sound universe of 1976 Rainbow, where everything seems to be at stake for a full hour. can. And Disc 2 includes 72 minutes of the Niigata performance, which will be the first appearance from the 1978 Japan tour, with truly wonderful sound quality. A poor-sounding version of this day’s performance is circulating among enthusiasts, but this take is a truly astonishing high-quality sound source that has not been distributed among traders at all. In particular, Richie’s guitar is recorded very clearly, and you can clearly hear not only the solo but also the detailed backing play. I get the impression that Richie can’t get into the first few songs, probably because it was a concert immediately after the accident that occurred at the Sapporo performance on January 27th, but I can see that he is gradually getting better. On the other hand, Ronnie’s vocals are really wonderful throughout the whole story, and I am impressed by his professional performance. An interpreter appears before Catch The Rainbow, explains the Sapporo accident, and also records a moment of silence. The highlight is Man On The Silver Mountain, which includes Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll, Lazy at the beginning, Blues & improvisational jam in the middle. Around this point, Richie’s groove gets better, and in addition, the guitar sound improves. It’s surprisingly clear. Unfortunately, the recording ended here because the recorder was about to catch the train home. However, although both performances are incompletely recorded, it is a truly wonderful title that core Rainbow fans will recommend as the best title of this year.
