Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - Live in Birmingham 2016
Review by Gary Hill
This live album from the new incarnation of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow is a solid set. It's also the companion to the video I reviewed in the last issue of Music Street Journal. I think this performance is vital and really manages to do a great job of capturing the Rainbow magic. Chilean born Ronnie Romero is the lead singer here. He really is quite capable. He's not Ronnie James Dio (in my opinion the best singer Rainbow ever had) but he actually comes pretty close.
