Eventually
Graham Bonnet was selected to become the new Rainbow vocalist, replacing Ronnie
Dio.
The
band was still looking for a bass player and Bonnet was reported to have said;
"what
the hell’s going on here, why don’t we get Rog to do it, it would be much
better."
Thus
the new line-up of Rainbow was finalised and recorded the album 'Down To Earth'
and once again the band was back on the road to promote its latest release.
Below
are all the dates known from this period.
If
a show, in part or full has been released on one or more bootlegs these are
listed in green.
All
interesting facts and anecdotes are in italics.
