Suddenly there was the child voice of Judy Garland talking about a rainbow rainbow rainbow.....BAAAM !!! INFERNO!!! Out of fuckin nowhere 'Rainbow' was there ...including Ritchie completely under fire !! They started with something that I couldn't reconize because Iwas frightened to death !!

I missed seeing Toney play as they had replaced him for Long Live, Rock n Roll. I was 15 years old, this was an incredible day, got to see Cozy drum. Amazing. Nobody wanted them to stop playing. Remember hearing Ritchie jamming on his own before the crowd came in.Couldnt wait to get to our seat. About 40 years ago, still feels like it happened yesterday. Went home and tried jamming the tunes on my Hammond M3 like Toney did on the On Stage album. Turned up my stereo full blast so I could re-experience the concert. What a memory!

[@JamesSchmidt713]

The main riff in Stargazer, along with the vast majority of everything else Blackmore has written, has had such a massive influence on everything rock/metal guitar that came after it. People often talk about the best/most influential guitar players of all time, you always see the usuals, EVH, SRV, Randy Rhodes, etc. in the conversation, but to me it's truly mindblowing how often Richie Blackmore is overlooked/not mentioned in the discussion. Because if not for him, so many other songs that people absolutely love wouldnt even exist. Dio's vocals combined with Blackmores composition/writing skills made Rainbow something so incredibly special. Once Dio left Rainbow, they were never even close to the same ever again in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Graham Bonnet did a great job filling Dio's shoes and had terrific vocals, but it just wasn't the same. Something about that Dio/Blackmore duo was just so special. So grateful we're able to have these recordings from this period of Rainbow to go back and listen to.

High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water Nine years worth of breakin' my back There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard See how he glides, why he's lighter than air? Oh I see his face! Where is your star? Is it far, is it far, is it far? When do we leave? I believe, yes, I believe In the heat and the rain With whips and chains To see him fly So many die We build a tower of stone With our flesh and bone Just to see him fly But don't know why Now where do we go? Hot wind, moving fast across the desert We feel that our time has arrived The world spins, while we put his dream together A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky Oh I see his face! Where is your star? Is it far, is it far, is it far? When do we leave? Hey, I believe, I believe In the heat and the rain With whips and chains Just to see him fly Too many die We build a tower of stone With our flesh and bone To see him fly But we don't know why Ooh, now where do we go All eyes see the figure of the wizard As he climbs to the top of the world No sound, as he falls instead of rising Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand Oh I see his face! Where was your star? Was it far, was it far When did we leave? We believed, we believed, we believed In heat and rain With the whips and chains To see him fly So many died We built a tower of stone With our flesh and bone To see him fly But why In all the rain With all the chains Did so many die Just to see him fly Look at my flesh and bone Now, look, look, look, look, Look at his tower of stone I see a rainbow rising Look there, on the horizon And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home Time is standing still He gave back my will Ooh ooh ooh ooh Going home I'm going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is leaving here But it's not home But it's not home Ooh Take me back He gave me back my will Ooh ooh ooh ooh Going home I'm going home My eyes are bleeding And my heart is leaving here But it's not home But it's not home Ooh Take me back, take me back Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh
