If the vocal is isolated, he could re-record it. It depends how much effort they want to put into it. And of course it wouldn't be the same, but it;s one of those equations they might consider given they have film footage of the show, which basically gives it an edge over all the audio-only recordings they have. (And as we all know, some of the greatest "live" releases ever, weren't actually 100% live.)
Same with Earls Court. There are ways to release it even if the sound drops out at times. They can dub in vocals/instruments from another show, re-record vocals etc. I suspect if Rainbow proves to be a financial success we will see some more of these old shows now.[/QUOTE]
Hopefully they'd go the route of using other shows from the period, if certain things need replacing. Newly recorded Roger vocals would stick out horribly, and sound pretty sub par (he still sounds great, but nowhere near as great as in 1977).
