Well, the most recent reunion rumor involves some sort of incarnation of the once-mighty Rainbow, but under the moniker, Over The Rainbow. Here’s the lineup…
Over The Rainbow is:
Vocals: Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow 1980-1984)
Keyboards: Tony Carey (Rainbow 1975-1978)
Drums: Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow 1980-1983)
Bass: Greg Smith (Rainbow 1994-1997)
Guitar: Jurgen (“J.R.”) Blackmore
That last one is Ritchie’s son, who could give some legitimacy to this project, if you ask me. I don’t think I’ve heard anyhting J.L. Turner has done since those Rainbow days, but I quite liked his presence in Rainbow at the time. Of course, I was also in middle school. But who can deny the power of “Street of Dreams”? Well, probably many of you…but I think it’s a great one, perhaps even ‘classic’. Take a listen…
