“made in japan” and “strangers in the night”! i saw rainbow on the “long live rock n roll” tour, and they played almost this whole album! they we’re larger than life, i mean this is as close as it gets to being there! i can close my eyes and it’s 1978 again and they’re painting tapestries with the words and music of songs like “sixteen century greensleeves” and “catch the rainbow”. and this is a supergroup if i’ve ever heard one! cozy powell (r.i.p.) jimmy bain, ronnie dio, tony carey…ritchie blackmore didn’t put up with any slouches, that’s for sure! i recommend it highly!
