Album Description

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.

4 out of 5 stars This album captured the group at their finest.......2007-02-15

Every line-up of the Richie Blackmore group Rainbow had their own special songs and styles, but it was the Ronnie James Dio fronted version that was the most memorable. This album captured the group at their finest. Dio vocals are thunderous and powerful, and Blackmore is equally as divine. Richie hogs the spotlight from time to time with his endulgent fretwork. Although only eight songs are listed on this double CD set, a lot of them are medlies of some of their most memoriable hits.

4 out of 5 stars excellent.......2007-01-27

This release is much better than I expected in all espects. The sound and picture quality is very good. The xtras are a real hoot, a couple interviews with past band members and three promotional videos (all looked to be shot on the same day) that are a very nice addition. RB, as we find out, barely makes the show after being released from jail in Austria, thus making the band very late taking the stage, even Dio alludes to it during the show (..the late hour. The band's setlist is short but has many long performances and Blackmore's guitar is on fire, he really kicks out the jams here. The rest of the band is very tight. I was a bit worried that the 1977 performance would be dark, grainy and sound poor, but you gotta hand it to the German crew, they did a masterful job getting this set down on film. Good job. Feel safe in making this purchase.

3 out of 5 stars Uneven..........2007-01-27

Indeed, after listening carefully to this release, I have to say that "Live in Munich" is uneven at best, if not plainly disappointing. Being a major Rainbow fan (especially Dio era), I eagerly expected this to be far and beyond the "Live in Germany 76" album, which, regardless of what critics might say, is a great set. Even more so now! Now I understand why Rainbow scholars kept saying that the "Rising" lineup was the best one!

I never fully agreed with that since "Long Live R n' R" is my favorite Rainbow album, although I could probably aknowlege that "Rising" is their strongest album. But after listening to this...well...First: we only get one new song, the title track of the (at the time) upcoming release, but the tradeoff is not a good one, `cause we lose "Stargazer", without a doubt, the crown jewel of Rainbow's catalog. The rest of the songs are the same, although the length of the versions varies greatly, "Mistreated" being dramatically shorter (some 6 minutes shorter than the version off "Germany `76") and "Still am sad" dramatically longer (surpassing the 25 minute mark).

That being said, I feel that the new versions lack the punch of the previous release, and I'm not quite sure why: I mean, the backbone of the band (Blackmore-Dio-Powell) is the same, the songs are the same...the new guys...well yeah, they're new, but it's hard for me to accept that just `cause of new bass and keyboard players a band can lose so much strength but...apparently it can...and additionally, the show had sound flaws! During "Do you close your eyes", Dio's microphone goes dead after the solo, so an entire verse goes instrumental. You can faintly hear him, but for all intents and purposes, the song gets screwed up.

This release's biggest disappointment (other than the set list...but we knew that one going in...) it's that it fails to offer anything really worthy of recognition. Why, instead of playing 25 minute versions of some songs, not include a few of the many other shorter ones in Rainbow's catalog, such as "Run With the Wolf"? And no, I'm not counting the rather loose jam they have with "Starstruck" (one of my favorite Rainbow songs), which is absolutely dreadful as far as I'm concerned. What? That this is supposed to be symphonic rock, you say? Oh, rubbish!!! No wonder why punk got so big! Am I being too harsh? Being a huge fan, I asked myself that question but...in the end, I remembered that, until listening to "Germany `76", I didn't really like "Stargazer". That record smoked, this one doesn't.

Bottom line: if you, like me, are a Rainbow freak, you'll probably want to pick this one up. If not, and you're a looking for an introduction to live Rainbow, my advice is to stick with the "Germany `76" set, or the recently released individual concerts from that German tour. Pity...

5 out of 5 stars Blackmore, Powell & Dio At Their Best.......2007-01-06

This is a fantastic show. I've had unofficial copies of this show for years and they truly did a great job on the transfer. The bonus videos are a major plus too. This is Rainbow at their peak with Ronnie Dio and the late great Cozy Powell on drums. I still get chills when I hear the live version of Catch The Rainbow. It really shows how versatile Dio could be at times. Cozy tears it up and his drum solo is amazing to say the least. The only downside IMO is Blackmore breaking his guitar at the end of the show. He should've just left those types of antics to The Who. Buy it, it's well worth it!

5 out of 5 stars Great sound.......2006-11-07

The cd's have great sound.The only thing that I'm not happy with is that some of what Dio says between songs is cut out in order to fit the concert on 2 cd's.Some of the things that Dio says in between songs is
very inspirational and he treats the audience with such respect that it's
nice to hear a vocalist do that.The one example that I can think of is
between Kill the King and Mistreated.Other than that,great cd.

    All across America on a Sunday morning, visit a real Southern Gospel Baptist Church. This is what you are going to hear. This group has been together since the early 40's (not the original members, however). This will get you going. If you feel you need some Churching Up, listen to this, man. Remember, with the Lord all things are possible EXCEPT failure!
