This 1976 live album captures Rainbow at the height of their powers, midway through a European tour supporting their 'Rising' album. It's a raw, energetic performance that showcases the band's powerful live sound.
- The concert was recorded on September 25, 1976, at the Kölner Sporthalle in Cologne, Germany.
- This release documents a period when Rainbow featured Ronnie James Dio on vocals, a lineup highly regarded by fans.
- The album was released in 2006, many years after the performance date, as part of a larger reissue campaign of Rainbow's back catalog.
Rainbow were a hard rock band that emerged from the ashes of Deep Purple and Elf. They were known for their soaring vocals, Ritchie Blackmore's guitar heroics, and a blend of blues-rock and heavy metal.
