Second best Rainbow album, after "Rising". The same line up and track list from two first band's album.

Very classic hard-rock live album from it's era. Musicians are great, songs are in much longer versions, than on studio albums. You can listen for minutes and minutes of live solos, what is really great. I think that Rainbow best studio album ( and line-up) is "Rising", there are many songs from it with extended versions. Songs are different, very melodic, Blackmore's guitar is good and Dio's voice became better and better with every album.

Just two moments are on the band side - album isn't focused enough, even with many hard and energetic moments, it looks a bit bulky. And the sound quality isn't good enough ( though at the standard of it's time).

If you like classic melodic hard rock with excellent vocal and strong guitar , just take it! One of strong live recordings of it's time and style.
