I actually taped the whole Liverpool show from the following tour but it didn't come
out quite as good as the Manchester '76 show and I was so pissed off at the time that
the only set change was to drop the mighty Stargazer for LLRNR that I scrapped the
rest of the recording and just kept the one track.
With the benefit of nearly 30 years hindsight and knowing about the whole DIME
experience I realise this was somewhat of a petulant act of youth, but I hope this
posting at least provides a nice record of the 2 tours.

I used to love the Free Trade Hall as a venue. Coincidentally, the one and only appearance by Rush has also been posted today- i can only reiterate that this was a special show and i am looking forward to hearing it again. Million thanks are due my good man!

Fantastic - I was at this show - as the taper says - they were excellent - two things stick in my memory - one - was that the stage rainbow didn't quite fit - so they had it sideways a bit, and 2nd, when Ritchie did the smash up the guitar bit - he threw it over the PA stack (still plgged in) and was reaching out to get it when he spotted about 20 guys climbing up to get it and thought better of that and left it - at the end of the gig there were several of these fighting on the main floor for the right to take home a fairly battered strat - great times

Thanks for posting this - I'm looking forward to hearing it

I had a friend who was a roadie with this line-up but Dio and him had words and he was subsequently fired at Dio's insistance. Anyhoo, he told me that Blackmore and Dio had constant ego clashes until one night Blackmore decked Dio during a soundcheck. He told me that Dio had a good shiner. Can anyone confirm that Dio had a blackeye for part of the 76 tour?
