RAINBOW – Since You Been Gone; The Best Of Rainbow (2014)

*

Yes, “Since You Been Gone : The Best Of Rainbow” is yet another Ritchie Blackmore’s RAINBOW greatest hits collection for this 2014.
But it’s a nice way to have the best Rainbow tunes into one single cd in a remastered form.

Unlike other releases of this kind, the good thing about “Since You Been Gone : The Best Of Rainbow” is that it covers the entire band’s career, from their earlier, unique style of medieval hard rock featuring the immortal ‘elf’ Ronnie James Dio and the fantastic drumming of Cozy Powell, to the more commercial melodic rock of the ’80s with shouters Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner at the mic.

Essentially, “Since You Been Gone : The Best Of Rainbow” bring to us the best of both worlds, the really rocking Rainbow and the more melodious, radio-friendly.
It’s great to see included the live version of “All Night Long” recorded at Donnington, taken from rarely heard vinyl All Night Long : An Introduction to Rainbow.

Of course the disc features every song you want to enjoy from this great band; “Stargazer”, “Long Live Rock ‘N’ Roll”, “Gates Of Babylon”, “Man On The Silver Mountain”, “I Surrender”, “Street Of Dreams”, and definitely, “Since You Been Gone”.
Long Live Rainbow.
