This recording captures the first of two Canadian shows from Rainbow’s 1982 tour, held on June 12 at the Auditorium de Verdun in Montreal, Quebec. Following the departure of Don Airey, the band brought in David Rosenthal on keyboards for this North American tour, which served to promote the album *Straight Between the Eyes*. As a new creative direction, the band also incorporated female backing vocalists into their live performances. Vocalist John has fully settled into the band—appearing completely at ease—while Richie himself delivers a high-energy performance, no doubt fueled in part by the need to promote the new album. As a bonus, the release includes nine tracks from a Texas show that took place in August of the same year, sourced from a soundboard (SBD) recording.
