Gloss and realism of sound, the balance of even sound pressure and isolation feeling, as in ’36 before the audience recording is the level that said that ideal (of course pitch accurate).

RAINBOWの「RISING」リリースに伴う1976年ヨーロッパツアーより、10月13日のパリ公演を100分以上に渡り、高音質オーディエンス録音で収録した「PARIS RISING」は、各種の既発を大きく上回る優良なサウンドから、前回のギフト・リリース時にも「通常リリースされて当然のクオリティ」と、ファンから大きな評価と支持を与えられました。その「PARIS RISING」が、是非聴きたいという皆さんのリクエストにお応えして、再度のギフト・リリース決定! 未聴の方はこの期間限定のチャンスで、ぜひ本作をゲットしてください!

本音源はヨーロッパのコレクター間でも特に名を知られた人物から特別に提供された、極上のオーディエンス・ソースを元にしています(その人物いわく「カセット・マスターよりダイレクトにコピーされたもの。この公演に関して、これ以上の音質はあり得ない」というお墨付きのヴィンテージ音源です)。
ライヴ前半はやや入力が強く、ノイジーな感触も感じられますが、音の鮮度や広がり感は素晴らしく、聴く者全てにマスター・クオリティを確信させるはず。音のツヤと臨場感、さらに音圧と分離感のバランスも、36年前のオーディエンス録音としては理想的といえるレベル(もちろんピッチも正確)です。
テープの経年劣化を(多少ではあるものの)感じる部分もありますが、高域も無理なくはっきりと出力されており、熱心なRAINBOWマニアならば繰り返し楽しめる録音だと断言します。

ほとんど全てのライヴで神がかった名演の数々を繰り広げた’76年のRAINBOWライヴでも、この日はマニア間からも評価の高い演奏が実現した日。爆発的な「Kill The King」でのオープニングから、情念溢れる「Mistreated」と、バンドの5人全員が一丸となった珠玉のパフォーマンスは聴き応え満点です! 特にロニーのヴォーカルは絶好調の一言。魂をしぼり出すような「Mistreated」での絶唱や、めくるめくドラマを聴き手の中に描き出す「Sixteenth Century Greensleeves」など、この日の大活躍ぶりは枚挙に暇がありません。
ロニーの歌唱に触発されたかのように、リッチーもコントロールの効いた見事なソロを披露。コージーも二人に負けじとパワフルなドラミングを聴かせます。ロニーとリッチー、そしてコージーの放つ演奏が見事に融合した「Catch The Rainbow」の圧倒的パフォーマンスには、どんなRAINBOWファンも魅了されてしまうでしょう!
勢いづいたバンドのスポンテニアスなムードは、随所でこの日ならではのポジティブな演奏に結びついています。「Man On The Silver Mountain」のイントロではお約束の「Lazy」に続いて、リッチーが何と「Smoke On The Water」のリフも披露し、オーディエンスを沸騰させています。さらに「Stargazer」の曲紹介では、ロニーがリッチーのギターに合わせ、即興で歌いながらイントロダクションを行います。また海外マニアの間でも論じられているとおり、この日の「Stargazer」イントロのキーボードソロはトニー・カーレイのプレイが秀逸で、彼のアグレッシッヴなプレイがひときわ印象的です。ここも本作の大きな聴き所と言えるでしょう。
約10分の大熱演となった「Stargazer」からは、間髪入れずリッチーの鋭いリフから「Still I’m Sad」がスタート! 同曲の中盤ではもちろんコージーのドラムソロも、安定した迫力あるサウンドで収録しています。
アンコールの「Do You Close Your Eyes」も当然ながら大迫力。イントロからギターの音色がリアルなのも嬉しく、ハイライトのギタークラッシュではキーボードソロの後ろで「ガシャーン!」という破壊音もダイナミックに響いてきます。

オープニングから最後まで、太く厚いド迫力サウンドで収録された演奏とライヴ・ドキュメントは、RAINBOWマニアならずとも聴き逃せません。ギフト・タイトルといのが勿体無いくらいの優良音源を、未聴の皆さんには今度こそお楽しみいただきたいと思います!
