NOTES:

The concert has been released under such titles as Epilogue – Rising Arrow-047, Still I’m Sad – Rising Arrow-008, Triumph & Tragedy – Rising Arrow-014, and Silence Prayer – Tarantura TCDRAINBOW-6-1,2 (part of the Giboshi box set).

The recording used here is a fantastic Mr. Peach source recorded very close to the stage and is a dynamic, well balanced excellent source that is a phenomenal listen. There is a very small amount of tape hiss in quiet parts but does not interfere and very little interference around the recorder.

The recording starts a full ten minutes before the concert begins, the two SE tracks at the beginning are actually music being played over the PA system, the first is Hendrix’s Highway Chile and the second is Jethro Tull’s Bungle in the Jungle and a quiet conversation can be heard.

The scan of the ticket stub on the inside gatefold says row A, if that is indeed the first row and where Mr. Peach recorded from is very interesting. After reviewing the KISS Crazy Killer Whales title I had to dig out my KISSOLOGY Vol. 1 set to watch the Budokan 1977 concert and there are many clear shots of the audience in the front row and was wondering how it would be possible to change tapes without being seen.

The crowd is very quiet for Dorothy’s introduction until the “….we must be over the rainbow” and they cheer in anticipation. After the brief instrumental warm up the band launches into Kill The King, although the band is playing very well the song has a relaxed feel.

Ronnie’s says the band is glad to be back at the Budokan to end the “Trials and Tribulations” and introduces Ritchie’s solo that leads to Mistreated, his solo is augmented by David Stones keyboards that give it a heavy feel, the crowd claps in unison with Cozy’s bass drum stomps at the beginning and there are a couple of girls shouting “Ritchie”.

His solo is begins kind of trippy as he plays not a flurry of notes but  very slow and at times almost Hendrix like, of course the crowd claps along with him but there is no tension in the air and Blackmore plays a somber version of the track.

Ritchie can be heard tuning his guitar between songs, it is obvious he takes the next song seriously and Ronnie gives the regular introduction speech about guessing the next song. I enjoy the Greensleeves solo spot, as with most of the shows on this tour he begins almost ho down style and this version is very gentle.

Again as the band starts 16th Century Greensleeves the relaxed feel is still there, obviously the band is winding down after another successful tour, Ronnie is in strong voice and has no problem hitting the high notes as he sings “Higher…..Higher” with conviction. Ronnie introduces a gentleman to speak to the audience and lead them in a silent prayer for Sapporo and for a minute the large crowd goes quiet, such a huge contrast to American audiences who would take the time to shout and cheer. If anyone knows what the prayer was for please leave a comments as I would be interested in knowing. At its conclusion the audience cheers and Ronnie’s introduction to the next song is simple, “Catch The Rainbow”.
