Ritchie after he quit Deep Purple in 1993 and then reformed Rainbow and released the Stranger In Us All album in 1995 unfortunately took a 'wrong turning' musically speaking with forming Blackmore's Night although the first album would have been a curiosity if he had strapped the Strat back on and returned to 'hard rock' format with the release of another 6 or 7 Rainbow albums but he then wasted 25 years playing renaissance music and then belatedly in 2016-17 reformed Rainbow for a couple of live albums which showed everyone that his glory days of the 1970s & 1980s were well and truly over.
