	Those songs weren't played.....and were only done once or twice or not at all with Ronnie. The DVD's already out are bootlegs. John

	When I saw Rainbow with Dio in 1987 (front row seats!), they played "Stargazer" and "A Light in the Black" back to back just like on the LP. It was mindblowing.

	COMMENT \| Er... posted by : DEATH GRIND 10/25/2005 8:31:14 PM
