Music DVD Review: Rainbow - Live In Munich 1977 - Page 4

Live In Munich 1977 captures one of the era's best heavy metal bands at the height of their power. Ritchie Blackmore appeared completely rejuvenated by his new band, and he gave one of his finest performances that you will ever see on film. The short setlist was a slight disappointment, but the overall show was remarkable. I would have preferred to see some of the longer performances shortened in favor of a few more songs, especially from the Rising album - you just can't omit "Stargazer". Rainbow fans, do not hesitate on this one.

Set List
1. Kill the King
2. Mistreated
3. Sixteenth Century Greensleeves
4. Catch the Rainbow
5. Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
6. Man on the Silver Mountain
7. Still I'm Sad
8. Do You Close Your Eyes

Performance 8/10
Production 7/10
