Rainbow - Live In Dusseldorf 1976 - LP

Release Date: June 26, 2026

First-time-ever vinyl release — 3LP black vinyl in widespine sleeve, newly mastered by Andy Pearce & Matt Wortham (UK import)

First time ever vinyl release for this incredible live concert from Rainbow's debut world tour, documenting one of the band's first ever shows in Europe, at Düsseldorf Philipshalle on 27th September 1976. When Rainbow finally landed in Europe for their debut live shows there, it was on the back of both 'Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow' and 'Rainbow Rising' having charted, so the band were playing sold out venues — with a lineup of Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Cozy Powell, Jimmy Bain and Tony Carey.

Recorded on the band's Rainbow Rising tour in 1976, this show features pure rock classics such as "Stargazer" and "Man on the Silver Mountain." Previously only available on CD pressings made 20 years ago, nearly 50 years on the recording makes its debut on vinyl with newly mastered audio.
