RAINBOW Rising, who perform at The Wharf in Tavistock on January 19, was formed in 1996. Their aim was to recreate the unique Rainbow sound and also capture the visual spectacle that was Rainbow live on stage. The band is made up of a group of musicians who possess not only immense musical talent , but also an almost fanatical interest in the phenomenon that was Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. The band perform live all the classic Rainbow tracks and more besides, drawing from the entire Rainbow back catalogue and featuring the material produced by every legendary line up of the band, from Ronnie James Dio and Graham Bonnet to Joe Lyn Turner. The sheer attention to detail given to the act of recreating the live Rainbow experience is evident in every aspect of the band's performances. From guitar smashing to stunning vocals, thunderous percussion and bass to dazzling keyboards and of course, unmistakeable Blackmore guitar work. Hear the legendary tracks that include All NIght Long, Since You Been Gone, Man of the Silver Mountain, Catch the Rainbow, Temple of the King, Long Live Rock and Roll, Tarot Waman, Stargazer, I Surrender, Gates of Babylon, Can't Let You Go and songs that will have you reminiscing for the days when rock bands truly were awesome.
