Love this band, just awesome throughout the years. Dio's years being the best.

[ridderjameson]

I love every Rainbow lineup. Brilliant band. Rainbow's an all time favorite for me.

DP's made In Japan and Rainbow's On Stage - 2 great bands at their freaking best.
Incredible musicians at their peak with Ritchie at the heart of it all.

My favourite band of all time.
The first time I saw Rainbow in 1979 changed my life .
Ritchie was awesome and 40 odd years later he still is .
Quite simply the greatest guitarist of all time

I was 12 in 1978 and a friend of mine in school lent me rainbow rising...one day I will give it him back 🤘🤘

[stuartmenziesfarrant]

Graham was born to sing with Rainbow, his voice is perfect for hard rock…I guess he knows that now!

[gavinsolomon]

Saw them on the Down to Earth tour, in Leicester, 1980. Absolutely superb, from beginning to end. I'll never forget that night.

[gurgisjones]

I followed all the transitions of Rainbow "real time" between On Stage and Difficult to Cure. It was always a surprise to get a new album and see changes to the lineup. This was all before the internet, so even album releases were a mystery. I'd be walking in the record store and see a new album, and go "Whoa", and grab it.

[stevehalling]

Bent out of shape is such a good album, my world came to an end when they announced that it would be the last one 😥

[dennismeans]

Love Rainbow. All eras are great. Dio, Bonnet and Turner. Stargazer, eyes of the world and eyes of fire - awesome

[aidanlynn]

The definitive Rainbow doc imo, thank you to whoever put this together!

[barnstone]

The live version of Catch The Rainbow on the 76 tour is a masterpiece.

[chrisbenson]

More than anything, this made me reconnect with how much I love Joe Lynn Turner. What a talent and a true classy guy.

[tommyseibel]

When i was a kid and started playing the guitar rainbow was the holy grail for me. I was ( and still be) a huge ritchie blackmore fan, he was my idol but heard him before only with deep purple. First song i heard him with rainbow was kill the king from on stage. What a impact for a 11 years old hard rock guitar studend🤘 rainbow was the blueprint for all power metal, neoclassical and nwobh bands

[klasseact]

"Man on the silver mountain" was atleast 10 yrs ahead of it's time, really listen to that...NOTHING sounded like THAT in 1975❗️❗️

[eden]

Joe Lynn Turner is such a wonderful talented gifted songwriter...besides being a legendary voice of melodic rock... Ritchie loved writing with him - incredible chemistry they had together! Thank you!!!

This is the band that defines my entire existence, spirituality and the way of approaching several issues in everyday life, no matter how weird it seems to you, reading right now my comment. And it started when I caught myself crying while listening to the musical beauty entitled as "THE TEMPLE OF THE KING", on a radio show. A father dedicated it to his new-born son. Sadly, this remarkable recording was performed live only few times. Nevertheless, it was one of the most touching moments of my life. To be honest with you, it still is. And will always be, until my final days.

[jamiemoll]

If you never heard or saw these interviews this was a good explanation for why Rainbow was amazing and why it failed to hold the same status as Deep Purple. It was to original for people to accept things that are new. Which Ritchie always had new everything because he destroyed everything from his guitar to relationships. If you are younger and never heard the band you should definitely listen to every album for all the real magic of rock!

[RUDI-UK]

I was only three when my older brother brought the Rising album into our home, not long after it was released. He played it non stop. Now that I'm approaching 50 I can honesty say that it's influence throughout my life has never dwindled. Thank you Ritchie, Ronnie, Tony, Cozy and Jimmy for enriching this commenter's existence.

Whoever did the subtitles deserves a special mention. My personal favourite is where Dougie White refers to Joe Lynn Turner (at 58.21) and the subtitle says "Julen Tunnel". That is priceless.
