Tha's cool. I find that Rainbow's live recordings are even better than their studio masterpieces. There are some excellent rainbow boots in circulation.

What's wierd about that release? Has the same setlist as "Live in Germany" and almost the same as "On Stage".

I'll like to see a live album from the last Dio days or from the Graham Bonnet days.
