Deep Purple - Live in Concert 72/73 Review

The color footage of '73, is worth the price alone. Watching (and listening) to the #1 band in the world (1973 and 1974) in it's prime, is simply priceless.

This is like a DVD Greatest Hits collection.

Highway Star is a great opener with singer Ian Gillan yelling at somebody in the front row and then hitting them with the microphone stand. Strange Kind of Woman is next and shows why Gillan was the "Elvis Presley" of hard rock singers! Great guitar and vocal dueling! Child in Time follows and is just marvelous with some wonderful and long intense solos. Next up is The Mule, featuring drummer Ian Paice doing a great solo and there's more of a prominent bass guitar sound from Roger Glover. Actually, the bass wasn't even in the mix on the first three songs, but through a great re-mastering job they've somehow, amazingly brought out some of Glover's bass overtones. Still, how could Danish TV have forgotten to put the bass in the mix, oh yeah, it's TV, not radio.

IT SEEMS MOST PEOPLE ARE FINDING A PROBLEM WITH THE DVD AT THE END OF THE MULE. Not a big deal, because I usually skip ahead to the next track during the drum solo anyway. But, if you love your drum solos you should buy the EMI import version (which works fine) or send your copy back to Eagle Rock Entertainment for a proper working disc. Here's the address that was given to me...

Eagle Rock Entertainment
22 West 38th Street
7th Floor

Next, are a couple more from Machine Head, Lazy and Space Truckin, showing off keyboardist Jon Lord and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Actually the whole band is shown off nicely throughout the entire show up to this point. Then comes the three encore numbers, Fireball (amazing), Little Richard's Lucille (rock and roll shot into the cosmos) and DP's only #1 hit, Black Night. What a powerful ending to the concert.

The next footage comes from 1973 (in color) and has the classic Smoke On The Water, but edited. Plus, you get another version of Strange Kind of Woman and Space Truckin' also edited. It's cool to compare the two, because DP doesn't play their music with a "Connect the dots" approach. So it's a real eye opener. I remember this (25 minute color) footage from the summer of '73. I recall when it originally aired on a show called "In Concert" I believe. I thought the band had changed so much, but were still great. This DVD will be something I treasure for the rest of my life.

If you are new to hard rock and you've collected Led Zeppelin's recent dvd release, then you owe it to yourself to pick up this dvd. The release of these concerts is an important day in rock music history. Hopefully kids will finally get a taste of something besides Zeppelin and Sabbath. Love long DEEP PURPLE!

PS: A friend of mine was at this very 1972 show (from Denmark) and said it was the best show he ever saw! He also thought it was more powerful being there in person, of course, so he suggested to turn it up nice and LOUD and you'll be fine. It brought back great memories of seeing the world's biggest band.

Slip back in time and enjoy!
