Long Live Rock ’n’ Roll

Rainbow

A high-octane collision of medieval fantasy and stadium-ready hard rock. Dio's thunderous vocals meet Blackmore's lightning-fast neo-classical guitar wizardry.

April 14, 1978 · Polydor

A triumphant and mythic celebration of heavy music that balances aggressive riffs with delicate, medieval-inspired beauty.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive opening riff of the title track that immediately sets a defiant, anthemic tone.
The haunting, delicate flute and string arrangement on 'Rainbow Eyes' that showcases a rare vulnerability.
The heavy, syncopated groove of 'L.A. Connection' that bridges the gap between hard rock and early metal.
