The Victoria inn Swindon - March 2000

Reviews Rainbow Rising at: The Victoria Inn Swindon


This was one gig I was looking forward to as it was Rainbow Rising's first Swindon appearance, The Vic was less than full but judging by the reaction of those who turned out it won't be their last!

The Band played most of the Dio era songs and with a keyboard player of the class of Tor Underseth in the Band , they were spot on. The Graham Bonnet hits "all night long,", "since you've been gone" also got a great reaction from the crowd, but it was "Eyes of the world" from the 'Down To Earth' album, that really got the full treatment, Bass player, Tony Speakman assures me that songs from the Joe Lynn Turner era will get an airing next time they play in Swindon, lets hope it is not to long!
