Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Rising and Long Live Rock'n'Roll = all searchable, all classics.
After RJD leaves the band = dud.

'Kill the King' sounds to me like a template for Dickenson era Iron Maiden.

The synths on Stargazer sound an awful like Kashmir in melody and timbre. Still an awesome song. RB on fire and RJD bringing it as always. My eyes are bleeedan

^ it's kind of a curious fact that three versions of that song charted in the US from '78 to '80: first by Head East, then Rainbow, then Cherie & Marie Currie - none of which was the original version

The Rock Family Trees on Deep Purple is on youtube and is a must watch, Ian Gillan and Jon Lord were quite the raconteurs.

my favorite thing is when a band has a separate wikipedia entry & one of those colored bar charts just for past & current members <3thank you based richie blackmore https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rainbow_band_members

I like how inside the gatefold for the '70s live album there's a itemized breakdown <of all the gear> they used on those shows,

DON: Rock'n'Roll had become something of a spectator sport by the late '70s, and we really weren't there for it. Spending six months of time and money--like Rainbow did--on a backdrop to distract the audience from the performers they'd paid to see was a no-go in Eagleland.
GLENN: I cleaned some weed on that Rainbow live LP one time and just couldn't get over that those dweebs listed all their equipment on the cover, with nary a Joe Walsh with a chainsaw or bathtubs full of Budweiser or primo West Coast Real Estate to be found! There's 'Rock'n'Roll' and then there's "Rock-and-fuckin'-Roll", you know?
DON: Well, yeah.

According to that gear list, Rainbow had 3 synths, 3 basses and two clavinets onstage, but no guitars?!?(Unless two of the basses are misidentified, I've never heard of a "Telecaster bass")
― Halfway there but for you, Monday, 2 August 2021 16:07 (two years ago) link
There was a Telecaster bass, mostly made in the late '60s I think. Didn't Dusty Hill play one?
― Josefa, Monday, 2 August 2021 16:20 (two years ago) link
Tele bass produced 1968-1979 (and of course reissues years later)
― Josefa, Monday, 2 August 2021 16:24 (two years ago) link
The mystery remains - were Blackmore's guitars too sacred to be listed with the rest of the group's equipment?
― Halfway there but for you, Monday, 2 August 2021 16:34 (two years ago) link
has he ever played anything but a Strat?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 2 August 2021 16:53 (two years ago) link
Blackmore played a 335 with a bigsby up through the early Deep Purple stuff.
