Re: Down to Earth box set


Roger sang backup though to call it singing is a push emoticon
In all honesty the lead vocals weren't particularly good either were they?
Graham Bonnet did a great job on the album but live he tended to shout his way through the show, he was a very powerful singer no doubt but he overdid the shouting IMHO.
Ritchie was a bit sloppy during the tour as well ,it was the start of the decline for his playing that would continue throughout the 80s.Though he did demonstrate enough of that gift to keep it interesting on that tour.I saw the tour at Ingliston in Edinburgh and the show was spectacular, highlights that stick in my mind were Cozys solo and Blackers climbing all over the place smashing guitars. emoticon

Cozy Powell isn't guilty.

Jon Lord said in an interview that Roger can't sing. These recordings show that he was right.

Didn`t he do solo albums where he sang on them?

He did the same extended guitar smash, climbing on top of the PA etc. and throwing stuff into the crowd the following year at Ingliston, although i don`t think the sound/performance was considered as good as previous shows, in fact I think RB said somewhere that Ingliston was a low point of the 1981 tour, and i believe the first night at Edinburgh Playhouse in 1983 was also a bit of a disaster? I played in a band with a guy in the early 90`s who had been on the lighting crew for Rainbow`s gig at Indliston in `81 and he said at one of the sounchecks RB got very stroppy with someone operating a spotlight or something and that the guy in charge of the lighting crew basically said tone it down or we all walk, and RB did calm down, although I believe on the second nigh/day when i attended he didn`t come along to the venue to soundcheck, just let the roadies/techs do it instead?
