Absolutely stunning digitally remixed and remastered six CD box set featuring three complete live shows by this Classic Rock band, recorded live in Germany in 1976 during their first world tour. The band, at this stage, featured Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Cozy Powel and Tony Carey. Although each of the three shows (from September 25, 27 and 28) have the same setlist, the performances are electrifying and fresh. Each of the shows are two CD sets that are packaged in gatefold miniature LP sleeves with similar colorful artwork. All three two disc sets are packaged in an attractive slipcase. Featuring 'Kill The King', 'Still I'm Sad', 'Catch The Rainbow' and more. 26 tracks total (two of the shows feature nine tracks, one show features eight). VAP. 2006.

Rainbow was formed by Ritchie Blackmore in 1975 after he left Deep Purple at the height of their fame. They were instantly successful and released a string of hit albums, with an ever changing line-up between 1975 and 1983, when Blackmore broke up the group to join the re-formed Deep Purple. This concert from their European tour in 1977 features the line-up responsible for the "Long Live Rock ’n’ Roll" album released later that year, including vocalist Ronnie James Dio and drummer Cozy Powell. Blackmore had to be smuggled out of Austria after trouble with the police at a gig two nights earlier and was very late arriving in Munich, all of which seemed to inspire both the band and the audience to create a truly remarkable gig.
