I've been to the Rainbow concert in Vorst Nationaal in Brussels and it was so damned good until... Doughie was introducing the new single when Blackmore suddenly wanted to play 'Since you've been gone'. He started the song and the band followed. And then it happened!!! Blackie played a few misstakes in the song and became very pissed. And ten minutes later he just left the stage, without any reason (they had played for about an hour)... Doughie, very confused indeed, said 'thank you' to the public and left together with the other members of the band the stage... And that was it. No more Blackmore, no more rainbow... The Big Ego stroke back!
