SPOTLIGHT KID / Rainbow

[thierry1026]

Better than actual compact discs

[Rat5alad]

the keyboard solo is too cool

[VH1ClassicRocks]

¡¡MASTERPIECE ¡¡

[TJDG1]

brilliant the one true version of this track.

[PlanetHorrordotNet]

I wish Ritchie would reunited with Rainbow, in any form. The world needs new Rainbow material.

[HeavyfkngMetal]

One part of the solo seems to consist of a part from a piece of classical music, does anyone know which song that is?

I´m talking about the part that starts in 2:35

[OxygenChrist]

I think Richie wrote that himself, but he was inspired by tha classical stuff when he did it.

One of Rainbows best songs!

[wedge173]

@HeavyfkngMetal the whole song is a classical piece

[misteraytch]

Jet to Jet came out on an Alcatrazz album in '83; this came out in '81. Blackmore would be the first to admit stealing a lick, but he did not do it this time, apparently...

[mersccs72]

I love that song, his voice is amaizing

[queenninja]

Remind me in Singapore during Expo time when UNWANTED played this song...Arrow Dragon

[MrEnginehead]

one of my all times faves...still have the vinyl in the garage

[orlandosierra]

Awesome song, solo, classic... What was the first song on this album, Can't Happen Here? It's been over 20 years since I had this vinyl, my first guess was that Spotlight Kid was the first song on this side. Very trivial but worth a discussion. I actually was turned on to Rainbow during the JLT era being 40 yrs old. They are classic just like the Dio era. JLT was definitely more fem...

[Doobie1975]

The first song on the "Difficult to Cure" album was "I Surrender", this song totally kicks ass

[DontTalkToStrangers1]

pretty amazing solo

[fightinginheaven]

I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!!

[spawnofwheezedog]

Damn, Jet to Jet was one of my favorite Yngwie tunes, too bad it's basically stolen...

[slycordinator]

Do you say the same thing about Ritchie and the DP song "Black Night"? He stole the riff from "Summertime" by Ricky Nelson.

[SankaraChe]

Woa!! Thanks man!!! Love the filming of the old LP Player and the Record!!! Brings back memories!!! =) Thanks!!!

[Doobie1975]

Was this the last Rainbow album to be released on the Polydor label?

[LeonidasKerkyra1967]

Rainbow all time classic, one of the best Ritchies' solo ever, unforgetable moment...

[lostatc]

fuckin classic

[Doobie1975]

This is my favorite Joe Lynn Turner-Rainbow song and it's the only Turner era Rainbow song that holds up to the Dio era classics

[SirIronHeart]

Don Airey's keyboard solo in this song is sick!

[maghole]

maybe its the other way around?

[sjackso2]

This is similar to "A light in the Black," which is probably the most epic Rainbow song next to "Stargazer." I have the 2-disk anthology and I didn't think I'd like anything on the second (non-Dio) disk, but this and a few others were awesome.

[Varvara10]

all night long cant let u go this one cant happen here stone cold i surrner are the only good non dio songs

[fksfksfnuu]

i love richi's rainbow...

[pillon85]

Rainbow is so underrated :( ...

[tamapalagi]

Add April Wine to the list of underrated.

[romaneeto]

Joe Lynn Turner has one of the best voices hands down. I would place him as one of the most underrated lead singers of a hard rock band of all time. Think about it....

[klbax63]

BAD ASS GUITAR SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dannymarx123]

this reminds me of being a kid when my dad played it on record! i remember the red bit turning in the middle lmao

[cosmo411]

what is that strange plastic disk? and that what looks like a metal beam right over it? its way too big to be a cd, gotta be like what 12"?

seriously I wish I had all my old rock viynals, to me they sound better still

[powerproduc]

yeaaaaaaaaa RAINBOW

[Doobie1975]

Great killer classic, definitely one of Rainbow's most underrated classics!
