After noticing that the site did not reference Tarantura’s release of Peach’s recording for the December 13th show at Fukuoka, I’m not sure about its reliability. I obtained the dates from the 1976 tour from Ritchie Blackmore’s site, http://www.ritchieblackmore.info/, which seemed to suggest these shows took place. Now the stage is set for what could hopefully be a revelation for Rainbow collectors. Only time will tell.

If they in fact did occur and Mr Peach did tape them it would prove exciting news to Rainbow fans as no other recordings have surface for those dates.

Based on my research, these were the dates Rainbow played on their 1976 tour:

02.12.1976 Sports Centre Tokyo Japan
04.12.1976 Shi Kokaido Nagoya Japan
05.12.1976 Koseinenkin-Kaikan Osaka Japan On Stage recordings
06.12.1976 Budokan Tokyo Japan On Stage recordings
07.12.1976 Shi Kokaido Nagoya Japan
08.12.1976 Koseinenkin-Kaikan Osaka Japan
09.12.1976 Koseinenkin-Kaikan Osaka Japan On Stage recordings
10.12.1976 Kyotokaikan Kyoto Japan
13.12.1976 Kyuden-Kinen-Taiikukan Fukuoka Japan
14.12.1976 Ken Taiikukan Hiroshima Japan
16.12.1976 Budokan Tokyo Japan 1st show at 3.00pm
16.12.1976 Budokan Tokyo Japan 2nd show at night

From what I can see, we can expect 4 more releases from this tour of shows we’ve yet to hear. Unless I either missed some releases or don’t have the tour dates right, the 2 you mention, as well as the December 4 and 6 shows, remain.

Do you have different info about there being only 2 shows left?

This new title has none of that and, as Hager and Ledman have remarked, is another stunning Peach recording. The consistancy of his ability to capture these concerts is umparralled. The version of Mistreated is excellent, at times it seems as if Blackmore is chomping at the bit to just explode, the interaction between the whole band is intense and after listening to Cozy’s fills there are no signs of weariness you might expect being so close to the end of the tour. As the Hager states the Still I’m Sad is particularily enjoyable with the band getting into some almost funky rhythm patterns before Blackmore slows the whole piece down. After looking over the titles I have from this tour and the dates played I see only two shows left that have not been relased with Peach recordings, Dec 8 Osaka and Dec 16 Tokyo late show. Hopefully we will see those will see releases in 2011. This title must be played loud for maximum enjoyment !

Thanks to Mr. Peach and Tarantura for capturing this moment. I think I’ll play it a 5th time now….
