August 9, 1980 and was famous for its outstanding titled “ON LINE” from its outstanding sound in the past, recorded the upgrade version of the Swedish Malmö performances. By a few years ago that Omoto master of the “ON LINE”, finally released a treasured take that was obtained. Although it is originally sound was good “ON LINE”, the sound of this board is thick and clear, has been recorded in a surprisingly powerful sound, the difference between the sound quality of the already issued is Rekizen. Remastered and not considered sound is close to here in equalization, “ON LINE” “Astrologist” of the same trend of sound quality (Power Gate) clearly different also, in a very powerful and direct sound, is Senryoyakusha I can enjoy the Zurari uniform best live this time of Rainbow. On the day seemed to rain, Graham or referred to in the MC that the rain many times, Don will or playing the “Singing In The Rain” in improvisation at the keyboard solo. Graham is in a good mood, throat of tone is also good, from beginning to end, you let me hear the powerful vocals. Stargazer, which was played and also serves as a rehearsal of the Monsters of Rock is Richie will determine the best condition of Rongusoro. “Catch The Rain … bow”, and “Let’s grab the rain”, what a joke that he had said was interesting, Graham has laughed at out singing of Catch The Rainbow. Thrilling Lost In Hollywood playing the reverse of Hachamecha mode vocals of course, including flashy drumming of Cozy, each person of the installation part has been recorded in great sound like a line recording, the performance of the masterpiece, and impressed it will listened. Suddenly after the Don of solo, show takes Over The Rainbow will will be terminated. Over the 70 minutes is one of the recommended to be able to enjoy the strongest live at the highest sound quality. Upgraded version of the historical name sound source is the appearance!

過去にその抜群のサウンドから「ON LINE」という既発タイトルで有名だった1980年8月9日、スウェーデンのマルモ公演のアップグレード・ヴァージョンを収録。数年前に「ON LINE」の大元マスターということで、入手した秘蔵テイクを遂にリリース。元々音が良かった「ON LINE」ですが、本盤のサウンドは分厚くクリアー、驚くほど力強いサウンドで収録されており、既発との音質の差は歴然です。リマスターやイコライズでここまで音が近くなるとは考えられず、「ON LINE」と同傾向の音質の「Astrologist」(Power Gate)とも明らかに違う、非常にパワフルかつダイレクトなサウンドで、千両役者がずらり揃ったこの時期のレインボーの最高ライブを堪能できます。当日は雨模様だったようで、グラハムが雨のことを何度もMCで言及したり、ドンがキーボードソロで即興で「Singing In The Rain」を弾いたりします。グラハムはご機嫌で、喉の調子も良く、終始、パワフルなボーカルを聴かせてくれます。モンスターズ・オブ・ロックのリハーサルも兼ねて演奏されたStargazerはリッチーが絶好調のロングソロを決めます。「Catch The Rain…bow」、「雨をつかもう」と、自分が言った冗談が面白かったのか、グラハムはCatch The Rainbowの歌いだしで笑ってしまっています。ハチャメチャモードの演奏が逆に痛快なLost In Hollywoodはボーカルは勿論、コージーの派手なドラミングも含め、各人のインストパートがライン録音のように素晴らしい音で録音されており、その圧巻の演奏に、感動して聴き入ってしまいます。ドンのソロの後で突然、Over The Rainbowがかかりショウは終了してしまいます。70分に渡って最強のライブを最高音質で楽しめるお薦めの一枚です。歴史的名音源のアップグレード版が登場です!
