Long Live Rock & Roll - Rainbow

| | Comments (0)

Another really great album from Rainbow. Not as great as Rising, but a very solid, very good rock album in it's own right (even if it has god-awful cover art). There's another "spectacle" song here, that being Gates of Babylon. Also, Kill the King is a wonderful concert opener, I wish Dio still played that one, and the concert staple "Long Live Rock & Roll" is here. It's the last album with Dio, and for most the end of Rainbow. The music made later was a conscious effort to be more commercial, more "radio friendly", and as such, Dio left.
