It's been pretty exciting the past couple of years to see Ritchie Blackmore play his first rock shows in two decades with a new incarnation of Rainbow. The past couple of summers he has done a small handful of shows in Germany and the UK. Now Blackmore is planning on releasing a new studio track along with the upcoming Memories in Rock II live Rainbow album of the 2017 shows.
The video above showcases Blackmore and other members of the Rainbow band and crew talking about the experience and how great it has all been and mentions the coming album.
So far no release date details for Memories in Rock II have been mentioned, nor any other details for that matter such as what tracks will be on it or what the new song will be.
Last year Rainbow recorded a couple of studio tracks, but all they were were a rerecording of "I Surrender" and their instrumental version of "Land of Hope and Glory". Personally, I'm hoping that this will be a brand new original song with singer Ronnie Romero howling away on the mic and the band ripping it up in true classic Rainbow fashion. Whether or not that's what we get is a whole other story.
I REALLY hope Rainbow does even one show in the U.S. I will pay any amount of money and travel as much distance as I have to in order to get to that show. Seeing Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow is a once in a lifetime kind of experience and is definitely NOT something you want to miss if you can help it.
