Graham introduces the guys in the band that is followed by what is listed as guitar solo, it is really a solo by Ritchie and Don Airey that is incredible, they follow each other note for note in a Medieval style that is jovial and upbeat, they then break into the equally upbeat Since You Been Gone. Little does he know that the music of Rainbow needs no translation, the audience clap along with the slow blues, Blackmore responds with a nice and tasty solo, the outro solo is even better, playing a catch me if you can with the rest of the band of which they oblige him stupendously. It’s funny to hear Graham’s intro to Love’s No Friend, he talks very slow, it is his first concert in Japan and is obviously trying his best to communicate. One would expect a bit of rust but the band is extremely well prepared and turns in a relaxed performance for the first night in Japan. Both recordings share virtually the same content and begin with Pomp and Circumstance into Countdown into Dorothy’s Rainbow intro into Eyes Of The World.
