Rainbow first world tour and initial success (1975-1978)
Rainbow performing in Munich, Germany, in 1977
Blackmore was unhappy about carrying the Elf line-up along for live performances, and so he fired everybody except Dio shortly after the album was recorded, due to Driscoll's style of drumming and the funky bass playing of Gruber. Blackmore would continue to dictate personnel for the remainder of the band's lifetime, with drummer and former bandmate Ricky Munro remarking "he was very difficult to get on with because you never knew when he would turn around and say 'You're sacked'. ''Blackmore recruited bassist Jimmy Bain, American keyboard player Tony Carey and drummer Cozy Powell, who had previously worked with Jeff Beck and had some solo success. Powell also greatly appealed to Blackmore in their mutual fondness for practical jokes.
This line-up also commenced the first world tour for the band, with the first date in Montreal on 10 November 1975. The centrepiece of the band's live performance was a computer-controlled rainbow including 3,000 lightbulbs, which stretched 40 feet across the stage. A second album, Rising, was recorded in February at Musicland. By the time of the European dates in the summer of 1976, Rainbow's reputation as a blistering live act had been established. The band added Deep Purple's "Mistreated" to their setlist, and song lengths were stretched to include improvisation. Carey recalls rehearsing the material was fairly straightforward, saying "We didn't work anything out, except the structure, the ending ... very free-form, really progressive rock. The album art was designed by American fantasy artist Ken Kelly, who had drawn Tarzan and Conan the Barbarian.
In August 1976, following a gig at Newcastle City Hall, Blackmore decided to fire Carey, believing his playing style to be too complicated for the band. Unable to find a suitable replacement quickly, Carey was quickly reinstated, but as the world tour progressed onto Japan, he found himself regularly being the recipient of Blackmore's pranks and humour. Blackmore subsequently decided that Bain was substandard and fired him in January 1977. The same fate befell Carey shortly after. Blackmore, however, had difficulty finding replacements he liked. On keyboards, after auditioning several high-profile artists, including Vanilla Fudge's Mark Stein, Procol Harum's Matthew Fisher and ex-Curved Air and Roxy Music man Eddie Jobson, Blackmore finally selected Canadian David Stone, from the little-known band Symphonic Slam. For a bass player, Blackmore originally chose Mark Clarke, formerly of Jon Hiseman's Colosseum, Uriah Heep and Tempest, but once in the studio for the next album, Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, Blackmore disliked Clarke's fingerstyle method of playing so much that he fired him on the spot and played bass himself on all but four songs: the album's title track, "Gates of Babylon", "Kill the King", and "Sensitive to Light". Former Widowmaker bassist Bob Daisley was hired to record these tracks, completing the band's next line-up.
After the release and extensive world tour in 1977-78, Blackmore decided that he wanted to take the band in a new commercial direction away from the "sword and sorcery" theme. Dio did not agree with this change and left Rainbow.

Every single personnel at their absolute brilliance. What a line up, unmatched forever.

I've felt this was Rainbow's "Stairway To Heaven." Both classics.

Great performance, Dio and Cozy were amazing.

[@jalkabre5904]

They were, but Blackmore is the highlight of this song then again it is expected.

[@Konaxi]

Those were good times for such masterpieces.

[@space_kat1]

the thing i think i like the most about ritchie's playing (at least during the '70s) was that he knew when to be virtuosic and when to just make noise with his guitar and it just adds so much to the performance

[@acpguitar1516]

it is the 7th of the 2nd 2024 6:24pm. in 16 hours and 35 minutes from now I will have to say goodbye to my best friend of the last 16 years. he has hardly left my side in all that time. he has helped 4 of my children take their first steps in this world. he has been by my side when i have felt my most lonely. listened to me without question, made me laugh, made me cry, made me feel like no matter the mistakes i have made he was there for me. And from the first day i saw him and rescued him from being destroyed as a young stray i have never questioned or regretted a day of our lives together. All the chewed toys of my kids because he liked that type of plastic, all the bins he would tip over and the door frame he destroyed because he liked the that particular bit of wood to chew on. all the times he sat beside me in my car with his head out of the window. all the walks along the beach and through fields. all the nights he slept at my feet on my bed. its strange to think that our time is running out as i listen to this. he has had his last meal, i cant take him for our last walk because he can hardly stand any more. I wont sleep tonight, ill stay by his side. in the morning my children will wake and go out to school and when they return he wont be here. At 11am a stranger is going to come into our home and take him away from us, and ill be at his side with this playing. I love and miss you my friend, Please wait for me when we meet again!!!!

[@space_kat1]

im so sorry, dude. its been 14h since your comment and i cant even begin to imagine the pain and anxiety you must be feeling. just rest assured that you gave him the best life you could and im sure he is very thankful that he had you to take care of him and im sure he wouldnt rather to be close to anyone else in his last moments. im sure you two will meet again at whatever there is in the afterlife 🖤

[@tracycarbone934]

I'm soo sorry!!!💔

[@user-bd8zh3wj3z]

[@nicolasrondon213]

He already catchet the rainbow. By your words I can tell how much you loved eachother. I am sure he returned all the love you gave him since the very first day. Death is just part of the cycle, the last adventure, however, what really matters is how you lived and you gave him the best life he could ever had,. Thanks to you his short journey arround this world was totally worth. My deepests ccondolences

​@@bertiradisch7056 blackmore is way too old nowadays and i believe he has a problem in his hand, cause he clearly cant play fast anymore. its a shame but its the unfortunate truth... however, i think we should cherish the fact that, whether or not we like the stuff he is doing nowadays, at least he's still alive and active, which probably wont last for much longer as he's approaching 80 years old
