About the Band
Rainbow were a heavy metal band who included Black Sabbath vocalist, Ronnie James Dio and deep purple guitarist Ritchie blackmore. The latter founded the band in 1975 and they went on to release many albums and gain many fans. They have had many lineup changes through the years and between 1984 and 1993 the band were on hiatus.
About the DVD
Live in Munich 1977 was released in 2006. It was recorded on October 20th 1977 and was originally filmed to be broadcast on the "Rockpalast" show on german television. The lineup at the time featured Ronnie James Dio on vocals, Ritchie Blackmoore on guitar, Cozy Powell on drums, Bob Daisley on bass and David Stone on keyboards.
So how is the DVD?
I watched this at a friends house and i loved what i saw. It was a mindblowing DVD and i did really enjoy it. They put on a great show and as i wasn't lucky enough to see them live (although my dad has!) i think this is the next best thing. The songs are awesome and Ronnie James Dio was my favourite out of the Rainbow Vocalists. The sound and picture quality were great, especially the sound and it was very enjoyable to watch. They put on a great, energetic performance with a great atmosphere from both audience and band. This DVD definately shows ainbow at their best!
To conclude
This DVD is great and shows a great performance by a great band. I would definitely reccomend this to any fan of hard rock or heavy metal. Go out and grab a copy now. I'm certainly going to be borrowing it off my mate!
