In 2017 legendary gutiarist Ritchie Blackmore made one of the least expected moves of his career. No, he didn’t teach a giraffe to ride a unicycle…I don’t know if anyone has done that before. What I meant was: he reformed rock icons Rainbow, placing himself back on lead guitar duties.
After a few live dates and sub-sequential live blu-ray, fans were unsure of any new music from Rainbow…until now. The live album ‘Memories In Rock II’ will feature the brand new song ‘Waiting For A Sign’. This is the band’s first new track since 1996.
‘Memories In Rock II’ will be released as a double CD set and contains songs by both Rainbow and Deep Purple. This also includes never before seen backstage videos, and interviews.
