    I am really trying to find the "how do they get that sound?" secret. Because this is almost too good to believe. This is an absolutely incredible reproduction of this legendary song. Tremendous performances from everyone. When you get musicianship as good as this appears to be - the deciding factor is often the vocalist. But she is so good - she has the talent to bring out the brilliance of the original song because she so totally nails it where it counts. Also love the take on the guitar solos - and the players are both good enough to bring off the "extra" improvisations that have been added in. I honestly think this cover is totally 5 bloody star. You can always tell a great cover - because it just wants to make you jump up off your ass and rock out :)

    Ritchie Blackmore´s Rainbow, one of the most underrated bands in history. Except, of course, if you happen to know anything about hard rock music at all. There is a reason why this song was their opener in live shows for four years and literally hundreds of shows. Super cool cover by a super cool band.

    Mr Monterosso is one righteous brother. The way he dives, head first, into his first solo part is pure magic. It would be a Kamikaze effort if you dont balance it out fast. But he sails through it and brings the energy with him, without overfanning the flame, through the whole solo.
    Magic and inspirational.

    I am no music expert, but it seems to me that the essence of a great cover is to capture the feeling, expression and in this case, the power of the original, and make it your own. You have all done this superbly, you have expressed the essence of this great song but also made it your own. It's a truly exceptional version. Most importantly, you all seem to be having great fun. Thank you.
