This was a handheld audience shot filmed by one of the best that ever was. In spite of some very challenging conditions - Lividz delivers a really nice shot.
He shot this from the 12th row on the floor - surrounded by several people - so there are almost always heads at the bottom or sides of the picture. He did a great job of quickly panning the camera to another band member when the one he was filming became obstructed. Of course, being down on the floor for a Rainbow show - you had a pretty lively crowd - you definitely get the feeling of being right there in the thick of things.
There are some amazing close up shots throughout the show of Ritchie's guitar playing (fingers and guitar only). Ritchie seems to really enjoy himself at this show.
During "Hey Joe," the words "Hey Joe" are replaced with "OJ" - presumably a reference to OJ Simpson.
Many thanks to Lividz for loaning me his master tape.
Enjoy ~
