KevB Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1467369856' post='3083129'] Blackmore's barnet is astounding - he's 71....I reckon there's a few horses missing their manes somewhere....! [/quote] If you look at Rainbow photo's from the mid 70's then Blackmore's hair when DP reformed in 1984 it's clear there's been some serious intervention! Mind you Joe Lynn Turner wore a syrup through the whole of his Rainbow tenure and no one spotted a thing. Then - it's all going a bit 'shredded wheat' isn't it?

spongebob Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wowzers! Not so much wash 'n' go, more wash 'n' it miraculously grew back a different texture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Re the Barnet. It was done in the early days of Rainbow. According to Colin Hart`s excellent book "A Hart life," they all clocked it and gave each other knowing glances but no one mentioned it. He would have sacked them had they most likely.

Misdee Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I went to see Rainbow at the first ever Monsters Of Rock at Donnington in 1980 (!). That was the era of Graham Bonnett as singer and Roger Glover on bass, although I would have to say that the Dio/Daisley lineup was Rainbow's finest hour. L.A. Connection is still one of my all time favourite play- along tracks at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Mate of mine and his missus went to the Brum show, and reckoned it was very good. That said, they did opt for the £150 a ticket "VIP" option, which as well as front row centre seats included a pre-show meal plus unlimited free beer so it could just be the latter speaking......

72deluxe Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 My ticket was nowhere near that! £60 for one opposite the stage, great for filming with a powerful zoom. Sadly my row featured people who wanted to get drinks and go to the toilet all through the gig so lots of standing up and sitting down again. Why not just take a hip flask and be done with it?

bertbass Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Wouldn't get a lot of wee in a hip flask I'd of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72deluxe Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Would have tasted like blended whisky either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
