I was always partial to Blackmores original Rainbow, using Dio's lyrics.
Greensleeves being a favourite.

Rainbow are the best band I ever saw that I didn't like before the gig if that makes sense. Monsters of Rock, they were bloody epic

Oh yes monsters of rock at Donington 1980. I was 15 and got the *******ing of my life when my old man found out where I'd been!!

Well I wasn't lying completely. I was still camping!

After he passed away I couldn't listen to any of his work for some time, then I saw him again on telly. I forget the details and it was recorded not long before he passed away but I realised that his legacy will remain and one hopes that future generations will tap into his genius.
Shall follow your recommendations and report back!

Emotional well being warning. Beware of the ending. I handled it...just about, but I know a couple of people who cried buckets.

P.S. I went to see Rufus Wainwright at Buxton a couple of years ago. He had a relationship with Lorca Cohen - Leonard’s daughter - and they produced a daughter who I imagine will unavoidably be blessed with genius. The RW concert happened to be almost exactly a year after Leonard’s death and he sang a medley of Leonard’s songs culminating in ‘Hallelujah’. Magic!

Ah, if we ever get rid of this pestilence currently blighting the world 'Hallelujah' will be on permanent repeat in our household!!
