Rainbow: Detroit ’75. Ford Auditorium, Detroit, USA. 18.11.75

 

Description

 

UPLOADER NOTES:

“1st gen cassette from the JEMS archives. This one captures the original 1st lineup of Rainbow touring in support of their debut album.  This particular friend of JEMS made this recording using "J"s Sony TC-153SD deck and is also indirectly responsible for a good portion of the JEMS master recordings made in and around the Detroit area from 75-77 since it was their advent mic used here that 'J' would borrow to record with during this time period. There has also been a lot of misinformation floating around concerning the date of this show. It happened on the 18th not the 20th or 21st as has been perpetuated throughout the years. This copy comes directly from the taper almost right after the show happened with this date written on the tapes/j-cards. We have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this date so unless a definative piece of proof like a newspaper ad/review or ticket stub refuting this date can be brought forth, this is the date the show took place. We also assume this is the same source recording as has been circulated through the years and not some new source but the hardcore fans can sort that out afterwards.”

 

You can check the poster from the tour HERE to double check real date.

 

This show happened very early on Rainbow’s life, the sound quality is average with slight cut towards end due to tape flip on Catch the Rainbow, also cut in middle due to tape change over  A light in the dark,
