What I love about shows like this is that it makes me fall in love with a catalogue of music all over again.
Rainbow my favourite band of all time.
Favourite album is, (and always has been), Long Live Rock N Roll. Much more consistent than Rising, despite Rising having Stargazer.
Least favourite, Bent out of Shape. Even though it’s my least favourite, there’s still some great songs in there, but it also contains some guff. (The Snowman).
Wild Card - Stranger in us All. A second look masterpiece, forgotten at the time given the era it was made in, but has aged exceptionally well.
Stranger in us all is fantastic and probably my favorite rainbow album start to finish
I agree with Pardo, the best Rainbow lineup is on Rising. It's perfect.
1. Rising
2. Down to Earth
...
7. Bent Out of Shape
8. Stranger in Us All
WC: Live in Munich 1977
1. Rising
2. Long live rock n roll
3. Down to earth
4. Bent out of shape
5. Richie Blackmores Rainbow
6. Difficult to cure
7. Straight between the eyes
8. Stranger in us all
Ditto!
Simon will be delighted at the Burnley result today.
1,Rising
2,Down to Earth it's Martin Popoff's favourite Rainbow album I think it is massively underrated.
Great video guys! One of the best heavy rock bands for me with a very strong catalogue. First album(s)I bought were the first two packaged together in a gatefold sleeve. Great value I think it was only £3.50 or something like that.
Favourite two -
Ritchie Blackmore`s Rainbow and Rising
Least favourite -
Straight Between the Eyes and Difficult to Cure (needless to say both good albums that I`d never part with!)
Wildcard - well not so much the album as a whole and I`m talking `Bent Out of Shape` but I always loved the two singles `Street of Dreams` and `Can`t Let You Go` (stunning rhythm section in CLYG!) I bought the 12" black vinyl of `Can`t Let You Go` which sounds fantastic and on the B side is a very lively and rocking live version of `All Night Long`. Recommended!
Meant to mention the fact that I love Blackmore`s Night and have seen them live wearing full on Renaissance garb! (Me that is obviously they wear it all the time!)
Favorites:
1. Down to Earth
2. Rising
I like the Dio years the most, but I think DtE is the best album.
Least:
1. Difficult to Cure (not in Turner's register and it shows)
Wild Card:
Stranger in Us All (I know a lot of people don't like it, but I would rank it 3rd or 4th)
Not a massive fan of Rainbow but I enjoyed this show as always. I own "Rising" and "Down To Earth" on vinyl and a superb compilation "Catch The Rainbow: The Anthology" on CD. This CD is a double with both discs exceeding 75 minutes and CD1 includes almost all of "Rising". "Stargazer" is indeed one of the greatest melodic hard rock songs of all time.
You three together are hilarious.
Rising and Long live rock n roll are my favorites by a big margin.
Great show again lads.
Another great UK Connection.
I found this harder than it should have been. Initially it would be a slam dunk Long Live Rock n Roll and Rising as favourites, but something went wrong. I haven't listened to Rainbow properly for a few years and pretty much dismissed the JLT era other than a few songs and had never heard the Dougie album.
What I found was that, other than Long Live which was my first proper album, was that a lot of the albums I liked half or more of and my relationship with Rising had become complicated.
I know it's a classic. But, cycling to work with Cozy Powell playing the same drum pattern for 5 minutes with the crash cymbal on the 4 mad me wish A Light in the Black was shorter. On the upside loved funky Rainbow (not just the debut), and a lot of Difficult to Cure. Which had some heavier stuff on it.
Really great show lads, many thanks. Saw Rainbow at the Whitley Bay Ice Rink in 1983, my lower body became frozen but the top half remained warm enough to witness Richie throw a Strat copy into the crowd after playing it for the encore. There was a bit of a tussle as two fans both claimed it but was resolved by a punch in the face! What memories, and the tour had the ‘’Difficult to Cure’ posters etc. but I think it was the ‘Bent out of Shape’ album that had been released?
Great fun, great details, great band, great show guys 🙏🏼
Though Difficult To Cure and Down To Earth are my favorites I feel they both would have done better if the non-LP songs Jealous Lover on Difficult
and Bad Girl on DTE. both killer tracks! and I'm looking forward to Favorite and Least Favorite show! already have a few ideas!
Fantastic show, totally lifted my spirit today.
My favourite Rainbow albums have been the same since 1979 , namely
Rising and
Down to Earth,
though Long live Rock & Roll and the first album are a very close second.
Least favourites I was going to just say the Memories in Rock 1 & 2 and Live in Birmingham sets, however if picking the studio albums I'd have to go
Straight Between the Eyes
Bent out of Shape
I quite like Difficult to Cure, despite the keyboard sound Don Airey gets on the title track, and it contains one of my favourite, on first hearing wtf are they doing songs that Rainbow did in Magic. Just love that one.
You could also swap various tracks from both SBTE and BooS and get a cracking heavy rock album and an ok AORish album. Agree with Steven about JLT's Rescue You, had it on tape and played it to death back in the day, along with the self titled Fiona album that I bought because it also had Bobby Messano on it and lets face it the cover was appealing at age 23 🤨.
So on to Wild Card - Had Final Vinyl been better sequenced it could have been that - and n.b. the JLT live tracks were from the live video they did that was one of the very first VHS videos I ever bought.
Live in Germany or any of the three standalone sets that made it up and/or Munich 1977 (recorded a few weeks before I attended my first ever gig that remains my all time favourite (though Uli Roth at Leeds last week made a valiant effort to topple it) - Rainbow at the Rainbow 1977.
However I'll plump for Catch the Rainbow - The Anthology, that has just about all the best songs from the albums up to 84 although I'd have preferred Lost in Holywood over All Night Long to be honest, and the live Tearing out my Heart due to the soloing at the end.
And talking of JLT live there are a couple of releases like Boston 1981 and Live in Japan 84, as well as a well circulated Cardiff 83 radio broadcast and the aforementioned Live between the Eyes from San Antonio '82 on video.
Favourite and least favouite title tracks - gonna be difficult as the first theree that came into my head without properly thinking about any are all from the same band, viz Deep Purple, and you could have all 5 by them with at least one being a least favourite 🤓
Great stuff Terry. Cheers!
I'm absolutely shocked that nobody included Slaves&Masters as a wild card choice as it was basically a Rainbow album with Jon Lord and Ian Paice in the band.
and the most important piece, it has Joe Lynn Turner on vocals
I gotta saulute you guys you got some great British rainbow refrences in with the theme tune zippy impression and a rod Jane and fucking Freddie shout out.excellent episode if I had to do a Richie top 3 of all time I’d go in rock, rising and machine head 👍
1. Ritchie blackmore’s rainbow
2. Rising
3. Long live rock ‘n’ roll
4. Down to earth
Great shows and great number of views gentlemen ❤
I really enjoy these videos , keep it up. My Favourite Rainbow albums, 1. Rising
2. Down to Earth
3. Long Live Rock n Roll
4. Richie Blackmores Rainbow
I came into Rainbow right at the start - saw them multiple times on most tours. 2 favourites: rising & down to earth - least favourites … difficult to cure (vocals strained) & between the eyes (the production). Wild card - the live in Germany box set with three complete shows that make up the Live in Germany (excluding Munich for some reason - probably because my cousin was there LOL)
LOL Simon and Steven trolling Pete to high heaven while he slips out for a moment.
I do know what the John Parr banter is all about since I actually did go and watch the episode where it all started, and subsequently peed my pants laughing 😂
Two of my favorites are Rising and Straight Between The Eyes, even though LLRNR does contain my fav and second fav Rainbow songs in Gates of Babylon and Kill the King.
Least favorite is Difficult To Cure - and yes, I'll only give the one.
1. Rising
2. Stranger In Us All ( underrated album as Doogie White) also great video concert from this tour! My best record from 1995 along with AC DC, Satyricon and Queen!
Can't wait to dive into this video Pete. Rainbow is one of my top favorite bands and love to hear your opinions on their best stuff. For me I'm a big fan of the JLT material and rank it higher than Dio
and Bonnet.
Entertaining show as usual guys. Great discussion of a great band
I remember Kerrang! giving Stranger In Us All 5 Ks in their review. They said, "This is the kind of music our magazine was made for."
That review has always stuck in my head.
They did put out a Live In Japan album that was from their last show in 1984 just as the DEEP PURPLE reunion was getting started, I have a copy of the CD I ordered as an import a couple of years ago and some of the tracks ended up on final vinyl in 1986.
That's an awesome show featuring some Bent Out Of Shape deep cuts that sound great live, Fire Dance specially. I like how fast and heavy that performance of Spotlight Kid is too, the band can barely catch up with Ritchie's frenetic playing on that one.
Evening guys.
Stephen just got the Blue Oyster Cult book loving it.
Now we need Uncle Simon in a Martin Popoff book.
Thanks Jono! And yes, indeed we do!
Great comment from SR that applies to so many bands, do I just listen to this because some of their other stuff is great, but this really isn't by a long way. I also wonder whether I sometimes "like" stuff just because someone else has said I should, but then that can make you persevere with music that you do eventually get into.
Great win today Simon (watching Saturday)
Down To Earth was the first album I ever bought (I was twelve) - still my favourite Rainbow album.
Good show gents. Looking forward to the title tracks show!
Thanks George!
1 Rising
2 Down to Earth
7 Straight Between the Eyes
8 Bent out of Shape.
Wild card Stranger in us All
Being from Motherwell, Scotland, gotta support my fellow Steelman Dougie White!
Saw Rainbow 1976 Liverpool Empire with Stretch support.
Incredible.
I’m early for this but here goes…
#1 Favorite - Rising
#2 Favorite - Down To Earth
#2 Least Favorite - Bent Out Of Shape
#1. Least Favorite - Stranger In Us All
Wild Card - I actually have two and they are Finyl Vinyl and Straight Between The Eyes.
I enjoy all the Rainbow albums very much. There isn’t one that I absolutely don’t like at all, just like lots of folks, I love certain albums more than others. I do wonder what more they could’ve done with Graham Bonnet as the singer. I enjoy all 4 singers, though.
As ever guys very entertaining here and not a bad album in sight The Ranking The Obscure vote:
1 Rising - Just Pure brilliance from start to finish
2. Long Live Rock N Roll although never been a fan of Rainbow Eyes Like the song but does not fit on the album The Shed is a killer track
3. Bent out of Shape Its still good even though its a least Favourite
4 Stranger To Us All some highlights but a bit meh !
Wild Card Difficult to Cure ; so many great tracks Spotlight Kid being my top song
Down to earth is my favorite Rainbow album
Wildcard:
- Black Masquerade, live DVD from Düsseldorf in 1995. Very good live performance with Doogie in fine form.
Favourites:
- Rising
- Stranger in Us All
Least favourites:
- Bent Out of Shape
- Difficult to Cure
The big problem with choosing here, was that to me the best albums stands mostly on 2-3 songs that are absolutely excellent. And the rest of the album varies between disappoting and very good. So these songs stands on the shoulders of the rest of the album. For my four favourite contenders that means: Rising: Stargazer and Light in the Black - Long Live Rock'n'Roll: Gates of Babylon, Kill the King - Down to Earth: Eyes of the World, Lost in Hollywood - Stranger in Us All: Ariel, Black Masquerade. But those albums also include Do You Close Your Eyes, Long Live Rock'n'Roll, No Time to Lose and Stand and Fight...
Congratulations Simon from a lifelong Owl!
For me perm any two of the first three albums according to my mood. They are all a clear cut above the rest. Never the same after Ronnie left, but nonetheless still a great band in all incarnations.
I'll also add that for me the artwork for Rising is the greatest ever in the entire history of music!
Also for Simon again, if you get the chance check out the Buxton Opera House, cracking little venue. Saw Blackmore's Night there twice.
Highly recommend 'Black Masquerade - Live in Rockpalast' from 1995. Sensational performance from Ritchie and Dougie's vocals are superb. The 'Stranger In Us All' tracks sound so much better live. 👍
The solo on Lady of The Lake is immense.
I'm sat here absolutely stunned that Steven put Bent Out Of Shape in his bottom two and chose JLT Rescue You as his Wild Card! I'm a huge JLT fan and I bought Rescue You when it was a new release. I couldn't force myself to get through it back then and I still cringe a bit trying to push through it now. The album is toothless and I feel somewhat relieved that these songs didn't end up on the next Rainbow album instead of Ritchie rejoining Purple. Shaking my head in disbelief. Ok, I'm over it (not really). Yngwie's Odyssey is the best thing JLT ever did bro.
My list is:
Two Favorite: Long Live Rock and Roll, Bent Out of Shape (It's moody, melodic, and very catchy. I've always loved it.)
Least Favorite: Rainbow: On Stage (The biggest thing I dislike about RJD is his insistence on doing medleys. Where's Stargazer!!!),
Stranger in Us All (I like three of the songs but, the rest is a little on the forgettable side for me)
WIld Card: Slaves and Masters (This is a really good JLT era Rainbow album. I don't think it's the best of them though.)
Rainbow Rising, Long Live Rock `N` Roll & Ritchie Blackmore`s Rainbow
My favorite Albums
On the subject of title tracks there's those albums that don't have a title track but you get goosebumps because the title appears in the lyrics of a great track on the album. Not to mention albums whose title track is on a different album, e.g. Houses of the Holy.
1. Rising
2. Long live rock'n'roll
3. Bent out of shape
4. Ritchie Blackmore"s Rainbow
5. Straight Between the eyes, Down to earth
6 . Difficult to cure, Stranger in us all.
For me all the Rainbow albums are great, a total classic and strong discography.

Looks like I'll need to find a Huntly beer to even up the rivalry Kenny!
Hey! Simon's got my Elder t-shirt! Nice 👌
Best version of stargazer is on the monsters of rock 1980 album. Bonnet does a great job but the blackmore solo is sublime 🙂

I came into Rainbow during Straight Between The Eyes (High School for me) and worked my way backwards. I have a soft spot for that record. I’d already gotten into DP and have always been a huge Ritchie fan.
That being said, I never went beyond Bent Out of Shape, and for Hard Rock, the earlier albums are definitely superior. Rainbow is often forgotten, and suffered from too many lineup changes over the years, but produced some amazing music
Good show Gents

As an aside about Dougie White's career, I think his best stuff was with the Cornerstone albums. If you haven't heard them, they're well worth a listen
Yes they are! He's also great on that Demon's Eye album too.
@seaoftranquilityprog I really like both of the Demon's Eye albums. The Midnight Blue album from way back also worth a spin
Great to hear about the Rainbow albums I didn't buy because Blackmore totally ripped my knitting with "On Stage" and the show of absolute wankery at the Apollo in 1977.
And to think Ronnie James back in the late 50s started out not as a singer but as a bass player. He gradually made his way to the microphone in a couple of bands until he settled into Ronnie Dio & the Prophets from 1961-1967 where they basically did the music of the music of the time helping to prove he was capable of handling any kind of music that came his way.
Favourite : Rising and Long Live Rock ‘N’ Roll. Least favourite (but still great albums, love all the Rainbow albums): Difficult To Cure and Stranger In Us All. Wild Card: Live In Nuremburg (Their best live album)
Only the Brits will appreciate the opening minute. Everybody else will be like "huh?".
I saw Blackmores' NIght years ago & it was a cracking gig. Candace was great but it was nice to see Ritchie was happy. He strapped on the Strat for one song & ripped off one of the best solos I ever heard from him...
Say what you want about John Parr. That debut album was awesome for this 13 year old at the time of its release.
Young’s Double Chocolate Stout is the da bomb! So is RBR🤘 Sticking with studio lps - Fav 1: Rising; Fav 2: Bent Out of Shape. Least Fav 1: Stranger In Us All; Least Fav 2: Difficult to Cure.
One of the first bands that got me into Rock and Metal, bought Rising on a tape whilst on Holiday and that's always been my No.1
2nd favourite is probably Down to Earth for consistency, the 2 least listened too are The Debut & Stranger in us all.
Wildcard is Live in Munich which is a brilliant album, but I would also add the Hughes Turner Project albums.
Great shirt Mr. Reid. They are the opening act for Tool at Madison Square Garden next month.
Yes, delighted to see them getting that slot. Hopefully wins them a host of new followers.
Favorites: Rising, Long Live Rock And Roll
Least Favorites: Stranger In Us All, Bent Out Of Shape (both are still pretty good.)
Wild Card: Down To Earth.
1. Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
2. Rainbow Rising

Saw them 1981 along with Def Leppard. Still have the Ticket.
Wow. Both those groups in 8️⃣1️⃣. Smoking. Nice 👍
@@garyjoyce2160 Yeah that's true.
Down to Earth was a great album, would be 3 or 4 on my list
@@markkaminski4496 I like only Eyes of the World from this Album.
@@theomoor8513 Eyes of the World and Lost in Hollywood are great tracks also All Night Long , only so so was Since You've Been Gone.. Bonnet was a great addition, pity did not stay around for at least another album was better than Turner he turned them into more of a radio friendly band still some ok tracks but DTE had more variety.
Some great points made
Total agree on album covers Stephen,Difficult To Cure and Bent Out of Shape ok but nothing really jumps out.
First 3 irreplaceable.
Love Ronnie Romero which makes me think was it just Ritchie tired but so disappointed in the direction they went.
Fav- Rising. Straight Between the Eyes
Least Fav- Stranger In Us All

My two favorites are:
1. Rising

1. Rising
2. RB’s 🌈
Least: Bent Out of Shape
WC: Stranger In Us All
Wow next assignment bloody difficult to say the least but will give it a go 😂
(2) favorites (at the risk of following the pack) : 1) Rising 2) Long Live Rock and Roll.
Least favorites (in no order) : Difficult to Cure / Straight Between the Eyes.
Wild card : Down to Earth
I love the Street of Dreams album. Can’t Let You go is one of my favorite Rainbow Tracks. But, Long Live R&R is my favorite
You guys are a lot more tolerant of the classic bands than I am. I pay for different things from different bands, and when a band fails at giving me any of what I expect, then I cut ‘em loose. I may continue to buy, maybe one or two albums past the fail point, but when it’s obvious the artist in question is having nothing to do with what made them THE SH#T... I’m like Curly Bill, “Well... Bye.”
With that being said, my top albums are the Dio trio. I like the debut album because it sounded more like the Deep Purple I knew and loved than Come Taste the Band. I like Long Live Rock and Roll, but it turned out to be the last album before my official cut off point (even though I did buy the next three that followed). After that, there was some nice music, but not the music I wanted from Rainbow. Rainbow Rising is my favorite, for all the reasons given by all who feel the same way. The emotion of Star Gazer, the badassery of Light in the Black, and Do You Close Your Eyes. And the Frank Frazetta -ness of Tarot woman and Run With The Wolf.
I use Frazetta as an adjective because I bought The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta the same day I bought Rainbow Rising. Leafing through the book wile letting the music play background was a first time experience I can never recapture. Every now and then I try.
well well well
my favorite rainbow album... is Difficult to Cure :^)
but Rising is basically on the same level. With a discography this compact you already mentioned most things I would say about these.
Difficult to Cure just has the songs to back up their 80s melodic rock ambitions, which I think are missing from the next two. Straight Between the Eyes has some cool hard rockers, but the more melodic stuff falls flat.
Least favorites are easily Bent out of Shape and Stranger in us all. Couldnt really get into them.
Mine are 1. Rising. 2. Long Live Rock & Roll. 3. Rainbow. 4. Down To Earth. 5. Straight Between The Eyes. 6. Stranger In Us All.
My favorites
Rainbow Rising
Long live rock n roll
DOWN TO Earth

Least favorite
Bent out of shape
Stranger in us all
Pete have you ever tried Fat Heads, Bumbleberry? Great blueberry beer! Love the show. Love Blackmores Rainbow!
Favourite: everything with Dio
Least favourite: everything with Joe Lynn Turner
Wild card: Down to Earth
They could've replaced "Mistreated" with "Temple of the King" as far as I'm concerned. I would've loved a live version of that by Dio. So, Pete, if you have them, where would you rank the four "Legacy Releases" among the Live Albums (Nürnberg, Düsseldorf and Köln from 1976 and Munich from 1977)? I listen to those more than "Live in Germany", to be honest. I actually like Munich most even though it too lacks "Stargazer".
Great show, never quite sure whether Stranger in us all even classed as a Rainbow album, but would be my easy way out as more to the bottom , my other would be Straight Between The Eyes, although if they had moved the song Eyes of fires to the opening rather than Death Alley Driver I might have a different view. Very different decision. Especially when you consider the likes of Fire Dance on Bent Out of shape? and Can't Happen Here from Difficult to Cure?
Glad to see Steven made it along to Slay for Elder as well, hope he enjoyed, and less so the false fire alarm that had us chucked out and curtailing the set by the time they came on.
For this assignment- fairly easy to select 1 Long Live Rock N Roll 2 Rising
Least favourite- Difficult to Cure- some good strong song on here but plummeted in my estimation over the years, not really keen on the need for these instrumentals. Same with Bent out of Shape couple of really good strong numbers, and again meh instrumental inclusions. This isn't an anti JLT thing, as always found him a gracious class act when interviews surface. I know many were aghast at him replacing GB and there was a sense at the time of sell-out and decline, though did catch them at Ingliston on the DtC tour with Rose Tattoo in support. But this was same venue with GB on vocals on Down to Earth and I recall fewer grumblings about the commercial route then.
Outlier- I've avoided the obvious live album scenario. The others I'm all genuinely fond of, but going for the debut. In part due to being RB and Elf in essence, production not ideal, I like the feel of it though, but clearly not the heavy rock classic that was going to follow. But Man on Silver Mountain just a tad slow on the tempo and not quite menacing enough though fantastic song. 16th century Greensleeves almost feels the same, just a bit turgid but hinting at what a great song it would be. I love the instrumental version of Still I'm Sad- I love the melody line of Blackmore here and how it soars, driven by the drums and percussion
Elder were outstanding Gary. Loved it!!
I remember the two live tracks ‘Stranded’ & ‘All Night Long’ and being primed for a definitive JLT era live album. Final Vinyl fell between several stools.
1. Rising
2. Ritchie Blackmore’s
3. Long Live R&R
4. Bent Put of Shape
5. Straight Between the Eyes
6. Down to Earth
7. Difficult to Cure
8. Stranger
Nurenberg, Koln and Düsseldorf CDs although hard to find are fantastic
Nuremberg 1977 ?? I was there. The day after Lynyrd Skynyrd plane plane crash.
@@hansg.8557 they are from 76
I was really hoping someone's wild card would be "Slaves & Masters."
My wild card…… Slaves and Masters. To me a Rainbow album for sure and a great one. Turners great on it and it’s pure Rainbow. Who could fill in better for Powell and Carey better than Paice and Lord.
