Hej folks!

Rainbow was playing in KB-Hallen 6/10-95, there was sold about 1800 tickets it was about 70-80% of the total tickets. Before the concert, i didn't know what i was expecting.

"Milky" was not a succes, personally i think Milky was bad, and i didn't like there music.

The show started vith Elgar's "Pomp And Circumstance" and a little bit longer part of Judy Garlands voice from the movie "Vizard Of Ozz", than used before. "Toto, i don't think we are in Kansas anymore........

1. Spotlight Kid Fire that lightengineer, he vent absoloutly crazy in Copenhagen and between 50%-70% of the light was on the ordience, not the band! Ritchie was i good form.
2. Too Late For Tears
3. Long Live Rock And Roll incl. some drunkfolksong "falderi-faldera" and a part of "Greensleves". And some drinking song again. Doogie White was very activ on the stage, he was really hard working to make a "party"! Before the concert i think he sounds like JLT, but not after the concert.
4. Hunting Humans
5. Wolf To The Moon
6. Difficult To Cure
7. Organ Solo - I don't like this solo, naturally i dont understand his solo, and IMO, it didn't works for him at all! (I know i'm a big fan of Jon Lord and his music and musical feeling) but Paul Morris's solo was miles away from the concert.
8. Still I'm sad
9. Drum Solo Chuck Brgi, did a great solo, i like it.
10. Man On The Silver Mountain
11. Temple Of The King
12. Black Masqerade
13. Drunking folksong "I be longs to Glasgow.......
14. Ariel Doogie showed his singing talents...... And he saids thanks for nr. 7 on the hitlist, next week nr. 6........
15. Since you been gone (short version)
16. Perfect Strangers
17. Hall of The mountain King Doogie vent down from the stage too the floor between the stage and the public.

Encores:

• Burn
• Smoke On The Water When the public all singing "Smoke On The Water- fire in the....." the band get away from the stage (An old trick!) after which they came again and continued Smoke On The Water....
• Black Night Outtro: Somewhere over the Rainbow (Judy Garland)

The concert was a new Rainbow in 95'! I think it was a good concert with a high level of energi, Ritchie was very "open" on the stage, Doogie are a good singer, but i think Paul Morris solo was very bad! Ritchie used his hole registre of tricks with T-shirts, beers, handshaking......

I was the lucky man that day! I meet Ritchie for the first time in my life and he give me 3 autographs on my jacket, on a paper and on the CD'cover (now i only missing David Coverdale and Joe Lynn Turner (Tommy Bolin), to have all the Deep Purple members from 1968 to now! When i told Ritchie i have been a fan since 1972 he smiling and said: "I'm not so old!" I was talking with Doogie in half an hour, he was very kind. Chuck Brgi told me the reason to his joining the band, he said that John O'reilly has broken some rib under a footballgame. Chuck hope he can stay in Rainbow....
