Not so much a Rainbow “reunion” as a review of Ritchie’s rock career. Almost an even split of Purple and Rainbow songs. Great singer though. He’s got a real future.
there are some great clips on you tube – the band is really good ! and the singer is amazing!
now I know why blackmore did what he did , he wanted to play songs the older guys just could not sing properly anymore –
Joe lynn turner still has a solid voice , but no way he pulls off child in time like Ronnie romero , this kid is amazing-
