16 Announcement 

As far as I can see this show is not currently on the tracker however I'm sure it must have been at some stage as it's a popular show and is probably best known for appearing on the roio "A Light In The Black", of which I have three different versions and in differing sound quality. 

Anyway onto this particular recording of that same show as mentioned above. What can I say other than I am totally blown away by it. 

If you love, or even like, Rainbow’s 1976-78 material, you MUST grab this version from Tarantura entitled "Ave Maria" and which the recording is taken directly from Mr Peaches Master tapes. 

This audience recording is quite frankly stunning in quality. The recording is deep, powerful, and balanced. 

I know rating sound on recordings on such as these is very subjective and is very much in the ears of the listener, but I am going to say that the sound on this show is absolutely as good as it gets for an audiece recording so 10/10 or Ex+/Sup.
