During the early 1980s, Rainbow's management Thames Talent had co-ordinated attempts to reform Deep Purple Mark II. By April 1984, Blackmore and Glover had committed to the reunion, and Rainbow was disbanded. A then-final Rainbow album, ''[[Finyl Vinyl]]'', was released in 1986. A double live album covering the band's whole history, it also includes three stray studio B-sides, "Weiss Heim" ("All Night Long" B-side), "Bad Girl" ("Since You Been Gone" B-side), and "Jealous Lover" ("Can't Happen Here" B-side).

In 1988, after joining the band [[Impelliteri]], Graham Bonnet covered "Since You Been Gone" on the group's debut album, ''[[Stand In Line]]''.

In 1993, Blackmore left Deep Purple again due to "creative differences" with other members, and reformed Rainbow with all-new members featuring Scottish singer [[Doogie White]]. The band released ''[[Stranger in Us All]]'' in 1995, and embarked on a lengthy world tour.

The tour proved successful, and the show in [[Düsseldorf]], Germany, was professionally filmed for the ''[[Rockpalast]]'' TV show. This show, initially heavily bootlegged (and considered by many collectors to be the best Rainbow bootleg of the era), was officially released by [[Eagle Records]] on CD and DVD as ''Black Masquerade'' in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DBNWAZ6/ |title=Black Masquerade by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow |website=Amazon.co.uk |access-date=24 January 2016}}</ref> The live shows featured frequent changes in set lists, and musical improvisations that proved popular with bootleggers and many shows are still traded over a decade later.

However, Blackmore turned his attention to his long-time musical passion, Renaissance and medieval music. Rainbow was put on hold once again after playing its final concert in Esbjerg, Denmark in 1997. Blackmore, together with his partner [[Candice Night]] as vocalist then formed the Renaissance-influenced [[Blackmore's Night]]. Around the same time as production of ''Stranger in Us All'' (1995), they were already gearing up their debut album ''[[Shadow of the Moon]]'' (1997).<ref>{{cite web |title=Stranger in Us All |publisher=allmusic |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/r347818 |first=Bret |last=Adams |date=26 February 2011}}</ref>
