Rainbow "Memories In Rock" gigs / new music

Glasgow 2017 is heavily featured on MIR2, if I recall correctly

At the time, I was a bit let down by what I thought was a somewhat inferior audio mix compared to MIR. Martin Pullan did both albums

I was a bit disappointed that in the Romera era they never played “Ariel” (co-written by Candice) or other songs from “The Stranger In Us All” and it’s a shame that they never tried “The Gates of Babylon” live.

(Btw. I’m listening right now to Live in Santiago 1996)

Yeah, Birmingham was a good show, I think mainly because we could hear all these songs again that we’d been missing. Also, the place was packed and everyone was singing along to every song, so at least for me, you kind of forget how it was performed. Although I remember thinking Ronnie Romero was a really good singer, and even better in 2019.
