Nine years worth of breaking my back
Rainbow In Concert 1976 — Live in Düsseldorf is slated to be released on vinyl as a 3LP. The show was just re-released as part of The Temple of The King 1975 – 1976 box set, but apparently it has never been previously available on vinyl. HMV has an orange vinyl special, while other retailers offer good old black.
Track list:
Disc 1
- Kill the King
- Mistreated
- Sixteenth Century Greensleeves
Disc 2
- Catch the Rainbow
- Man On the Silver Mountain
Disc 3
- Stargazer
- Still I’m Sad
Release date has been pencilled in for June 26, 2026.
Speaking of high noons, Louder Sound rehashes a Classic Rock feature on Stargazer:
“We’ve made a lot of progress between the first and second LPs,” Blackmore told Hit Parader in 1976. “It’s kind of more representative music now, before it was just some songs that we had written and put them down as just a hobby, really.
“This time we went into the studio answer to a more as a band. Before, it was just a few friends of ours, with the exception of Ronnie. Now it’s more directed; each member of the band has a say on the LP. More drums, more bass, more keyboards as well as vocals.”
