“Transmission Impossible” series compiles on three CD’s very good radio broadcast from giant bands from the 70s / 80s. This new triple disc box set collection brings together previously unreleased live recordings made during Ritchie Blackmore’s RAINBOW glory days, all of which come from FM Radio broadcasts transmitted between 1980 and 1983.
First up, DISC ONE houses the band’s superb show in Tokyo, Japan on 9th May, 1980, recorded at the famous Buddokan venue. Featuring Graham Bonnet at the mic and Cozy Powell hitting the drums, Rainbow performs many songs. Sound quality is fine.
On DISC TWO we come forward a year, and feature their dynamic show recorded at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston on May 7th 1981. Joe Lynn Turner is already the vocalist in the band, sound quality is excellent for a FM broadcast.
The set concludes on DISC THREE with Rainbow’s explosive show recorded at the Convention Centre in San Antonio, Texas, on August 18th 1982, shortly after the group released the penultimate album prior to their original split, April ‘82’s Straight Between The Eyes. Sound quality is excellent.
