I saw Rainbow in concert right after they made "Difficult to Cure". I have to say that it was one of the worst concerts by a rock band. Everyone was waiting for the featured song "I surrender" before having to endure Blackmore's overdone guitar solos the whole evening. Guitar solos are great when their is some substance. It appeared to me,and many, that Rainbow was Richie's forum for showing everyone how accomplished he was on the guitar. All I can say is Rainbows have more than one color. The concert made me realize how much I missed Deep Purple!!
New Rainbow remasterings are awful
Hello
I just bought first 5 remastered Rainbow cds and am very dissapointed with the sound (or compression that substitutes it)It sounds like these CDs were burned from a 128 kbs playlist.Keep your original CDs,they are way more musical.Just a heads up so you won't repeat my mistake.Avoid new remasters of Rainbow.I guess we are all kinda spoiled by Rhino quality of remasters.I hope in the future they will do Rainbow as well.
