Nowadays, Rainbow is often primarily thought of as a group that helped created the "prog metal" genre, as well as introducing the world to the vocal talents of Ronnie James Dio. But what's forgotten is that by the early '80s, Rainbow had transformed into a streamlined, mainstream rock outfit, which enjoyed a fair amount of radio and MTV success. However, the singer on these recordings was not Seņor Dio, but rather, Joe Lynn Turner. And it turns out that Rainbow (and just about anything Ritchie Blackmore-related, for that matter) still has a sizeable following in Europe, as evidenced by the arrival of the 2008 Turner release, Live in Germany. All of the notable Turner-era Rainbow songs are featured here, including such melodic tunes as "I Surrender," "Street of Dreams," and "Stone Cold," as well as the more rocking "Can't Happen Here," "Spotlight Kid," and a cover of Deep Purple's "Burn." Live in Germany certainly proves that Turner can still hit those high notes on the concert stage. Greg Prato, All Music Guide Tracks:
