Live Rainbow album to be released in November
There has been no official announcement yet (as far as we know), but some online retailers started listing release of a new Rainbow live recording. Presumably the one recorded the tree dates in June this year. Titled Memories in Rock — Live in Germany, it is apparently scheduled for release on November 18 via Edel / Eagle Rock. Formats listed are: 2CD, DVD, 3DVD+CD (?), Blu-ray, and 3LP.
Thanks to Lutz Reinert for the info.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Worth every penny? It’s the final live Ranibow show ever to be filmed I think.
September 25th, 2016 at 17:36Having seen footage of the German concerts and even giving some allowance for loss of quality etc. I’d have to say I’d be much happier to invest in a film of the Birmingham concert, which I attended. I know it wasn’t filmed – Lord knows why not – but it was significantly better even without the stirring rendition of Burn at the end, a track not played in Germany.
September 25th, 2016 at 17:53I think “3DVD+CD” is a typo. It should probably mean “3 Discs, 2CD+DVD”.
September 25th, 2016 at 19:40At least that sounds more familiar to me, if one takes a look at the releases nowadays.
Just a thought.
Anything released by Ritchie is very welcomed as always but being at the Loreley show and watching clips from the second German show I am not overly enamoured with this release. Ritchie was clearly not 100% ready for the gigs as evidenced by his swollen finger, being under-rehearsed and as Ritchie has implied they were just not ready for it…the performance does suffer and its not as hard hitting as I would have liked. The Birmingham gig is an improvement and possibly would have made for a better release but I am thinking come back next year..tweak your guitar up with a bit more of that unique thunderous Blackmore distortion, bring in a more rock/metal orientated bass player and drummer and record the Rainbow we all love ( well some of us anyway ha )

September 26th, 2016 at 16:13What are you trying to tell me?! Did I say something wrong? Did I say something bad about RB?! And, believe me or not, I’m smiling.
@6 Lutz, you’ve said nothing wrong, I hadn’t thought that my comment could have been taken in a negative way. I was trying to show my pleasure about this coming Rainbow release. Lutz I’m glad that you’re smiling, because I am too!. Be happy.
September 27th, 2016 at 10:07I guess it’s so cheap to burn CD or DVD but its a nice money spinner when you make your price on line or in the shops. I hate multiple CD or DVD as one always gets lost or doesn’t work properly!!!! Vinal rules!!!
