Loved seeing their classic line-up in the early 70's but Blackmore was a major disappointment. Live, his playing was very ordinary and did not replicate the magic on the band's albums.
I saw Rainbow & Sabbath in the Capitol not too much time in between them, Richie was a Moody fker on stage, smashed his Strat (part of the stage act) the neck launched by the strings, the body launched by the strap int the crowd, i'm not qualified to say who is the better axe, but Tony Iommi was far better to watch and listen to, hard to say which gig i enjoyed more, Sabbath were nuts but I liked the Rainbow songs prolly a little bit more, Cozy Powell, Ronnie James Dio, R. Blackmore, Ozzy, Bill Ward, Geezer & Iommi awesome times. The Capitol being a dive, allowed to stand on the seats and go nuts and previous to this, two x Slade gigs at the Capitol, crowd mayhem with who has to be the best front I have seen, the incomparable Noddy, get yer fkin boots on and get down and get with it, Holder, I go to gigs now, sit down be quiet and just listen to the music basically a misery
