In the late 70's Rainbow played in Indianapolis and Ritchies guitar destroying bit went over quite well as most didn't know this was part of the show at the time. I just remember when he was done beating on the guitar, him taking that busted up guitar with half a neck and shoving it into one of the stacks and left it feeding back ouit of control.
It always makes me wonder, that compilation pieces like this, they must have the whole or near as damn it, show on video somewhere, but where the F*** is it? And why can't they put it out for the fans to see?
One small disappointment: no guitar solo from Ritchie, but a guitar destruction. It seems that what will remains from Ritchie is more his usual to destroy his guitars than to play it.

Houston crowds are notorious for only getting into a show during the last song. I suppose it's the humidity down here.

A light in the Black is an amazing song, I would have loved to see & hear more footage of this rarity than to see Ritchie smashing his guitar
