I was there 40 years ago standing in 6 inches of mud, at front left wearing platform shoes. After the concert when I tried to walk away the soles of my shoes got left behind in the mud! I went home with only the tops of the shoes and bare feet. In 1000 years time some archeologist will dig the soles out of the mud and wonder what kind of shoes we were wearing!

Ritchie Blackmore had Mr Bonnet in mind for future projects as far back as the late 60's after hearing him on the radio singing Only One Woman when he was in a band called the Marbles. I think that was written in the biography of Mr. Blackmore......
@Willie_McBride3 жыл бұрын
@@stormbringercoming8105 TRUE STORY!!! And very well articulated. Ritchie grew weary of vocalists in short order. He got tired of RJD and his writing style ( The whole Good vs. Evil/ Mythological heroes themes that permeated most Dio songs). Then he got tired of Bonnet getting more hype than he did, so he was gone, brought in Joe Lynn Turner... who while a very different style than either Dio, or Bonnet, had a great rock n roll voice of his own. And while Cozy Powell lasted a while as the drummer, other great rock drummers (See Rondinelli, Bobby for example) ended up leaving of their own accord because Blackmore was just such a megalomaniac. Ironically, Blackmore ended up the last 15 years or so making music with his wife Candace Knight, ( calling the duo Blackmore’s Knight) playing... wait for it... ‘Medieval’ style folk rock. Maybe it was meant to be all along, huh, Rich! Lol!!!

@Preston McDonald Halford had a mullet back then. Udo was suffering Male Pattern Baldness and had long hair before he shaved it off. Ozzy only shaved his head in order to avoid touring until it had grown back. Bonnet had short hair, in an actual hairstyle. Which I repeat, wasn't acceptable in a metal band back then. Only Proggers could be forgiven it. And Rainbow weren't Prog.

Yes, this is surely great, the line up speaks for itself, but I can´t help it, Ronnie James Dio was perhaps not the easiest singer/frontman to replace. On the record Down to earth, Bonnet sings great, more than great, but I still miss the Great Ronnie James Dio here. Graham Bonnet was amazing on the studio album, but as a frontman and his stage presence, not like Dio or Doogie White, for that matter. But around this period, Rainbow actually had their top period, at least in popularity. But of course it´s great, it´s Rainbow we are talking about, can´t be other than great, really great!
