Title: Skip This One
Review: Rainbow's 'On Stage' is to me one of the weakest live alnums I've ever heard, especially cosidering it comes from the era when great live albums were plentiful. First off the mixing is dreadful;Blackmore's guitar is drowned out by the keyboards throughout. It also suffers from the same problem as Deep Purple's equally boring 'Made In Japan',possibly one of the most overrated live albums ever, in that the long extended versions of the tunes just meander, not going anywhere. If you want the line-up with Dio,stick with the superior studio albums. I think the were much better and more concise with Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner. This one's for completists only.
