The off-on Deep Purple reunion was finally agreed and Rainbow played their final shows in Japan in March 1984, including a special one with orchestral arrangements for "Difficult To Cure", Blackmore's Beethoven party-piece (the show was filmed and issued in part in Japan but nowhere else). It is generally felt that originally Blackmore was to do an album and a tour and then return to Rainbow, certainly this is what Joe Lynn Turner was told. Instead it wasn't until 1993 that Rainbow reconvened, after Blackmore quit Deep Purple for the second time.
