Bio:
Rainbow (also known as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow or Blackmore's Rainbow) were an English rock band, controlled by former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore from 1975 to 1984 and 1994 to 1997. It was originally established with former Elf members, though over the years Rainbow went through many lineup changes with no two studio albums featuring the same line-up. In addition to lead singers Ronnie James Dio, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner and Doogie White, the project consisted of numerous backing musicians. The band started out combining mystical lyric themes with neo-classical metal, but went in a more streamlined commercial style following Dio's departure from the group.Rainbow was ranked #90 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.Early years: In 1974, Ritchie Blackmore became infuriated at the funk/soul (or as Blackmore called it, "shoeshine music") elements being introduced to Deep Purple by David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, as well as with the rejection from his bandmates of his suggestion to record a cover for inclusion on Stormbringer. Blackmore had originally intended to record Steve Hammond's "Black Sheep of the Family", a song recorded by the band Quatermass, as a solo single to express that his ideas were being suppressed in Deep Purple. During recent US tours, Deep Purple's support band had been Elf, and Ritchie had been impressed by Elf's singer, Ronnie James Dio. Blackmore and Dio found they had such a creative rapport that a full album's worth of music was soon composed, and they recorded it with Elf as a session band. Emboldened by the experience, Blackmore decided to leave Deep Purple and form his own band around Elf, effectively taking it over minus their guitarist and renaming it Rainbow. The name of the band was inspired by the Rainbow Bar and Grill in Hollywood that catered to rock stars, groupies and rock enthusiasts.
Album:
In 2017 Ritchie Blackmore returned with RAINBOW and his harder rock hat on to a series of arena shows in the UK. An album titled 'Memories In Rock' was released, now comes part 2 "Memories In Rock II" in a handsome CD/DVD package.As fans are no doubt aware, "Memories in Rock II" follows 2016's Memories in Rock, which collected performances from Blackmore's highly touted "return to rock" for a handful of shows with a rejiggered Rainbow lineup that year.The set-list, combining classic tracks from both Deep Purple and Rainbow, was exactly what the fans have requested most and will be found in this double CD package.It also includes a brand new Rainbow song, 'Waiting For A Sign'. This is the first new Rainbow single released since 1996, featuring Ritchie Blackmore on guitar and Ronnie Romero on vocals.Among the highlights, we do get re-arranged versions of the hits ‘I Surrender’ and ‘All Night Long’ which were omitted from the early setlists. The Jon Lord-tribute ‘Carry On Jon’ and ‘Temple Of the King’ are also added.As you might expect there’s a fair amount of noodling – ‘Mistreated’ for example breaks down half way through with Blackmore’s reflective touches.Ditto ‘Difficult To Cure’, a showcase for Johansson keyboards, and ‘Black Night’ drummer David Keith’s spotlight.With more gigs lined up for 2018 perhaps Ritchie will dig deeper into the back catalogue.This "Memories In Rock II", as the previous one, showcases Ritchie's rock side again, and I love it.The Rainbow legacy lives on.
