Triple colored vinyl LP pressing. Rainbow was formed by Ritchie Blackmore in 1975 after he left Deep Purple at the height of their fame. With Rainbow, he was no less successful and they released a string of hit albums in changing line-ups until Blackmore broke up the group to join the reformed Deep Purple. Live In Munich 1977 features the line-up including vocalist Ronnie James Dio and drummer Cozy Powell.

But this only seemed to give the band additional motivation to perform a truly remarkable concert.
