Live in Munich

A slight improvement on an already-must-have DVD
There's not a lot of information on Amazon or the web in general about this new edition of Rainbow's Live In Munich DVD, so I thought I'd provide some. The ONLY difference between the original 2006 release and this new 2013 version is the addition of the 11-minute original '76 special (for US TV?) "Rainbow Over Texas '76". This is an EXTREMELY welcome addition, as the special, as grainy as it may be, has bits of footage of Rainbow performing "Stargazer", and, this is the big one, "A Light in the Black"!!! Wow! Almost certainly the only surviving video footage of those songs being played live. The special also has some exclusive interviews with Ritchie and Ronnie. All in all, it's definitely worth seeking out the newer version over the original if you're buying it for the first time, and if you already have the original one, well, you have to ask yourself, how big of a Rainbow fan am I? For me, for 10 bucks it was a no-brainer, and I'm really glad I got the new one. The DVD...

Really like this dvd, it captures Rainbow at an important point in their career.Video quality is limited because of the technology of the day.Great set by Rainbow.I saw them live six times and was always enamored by their style.This dvd is a time capsule of that era.
