Perfect Strangers Live
1984 saw the long-awaited reunion of the classic Deep Purple Mark II line-up of Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Jon Lord and Ian Paice, for the first time since 1973. They recorded a brand new studio album, “Perfect Strangers” and headed out on tour. This show was filmed in Melbourne, Australia and is the only full length concert film of the band at this time. It’s a stunning concert with the band in incendiary form. The setlist mixes then new tracks from the “Perfect Strangers” album with favourites from the early seventies culminating in the brilliant “Smoke On The Water” finale. This is without doubt one of the finest Deep Purple concerts ever filmed and a must have for their legions of fans.
Live At Montreux 1996
By the time Deep Purple rolled into Montreux in July 1996 after six months touring they were delivering a set which was chock full of jaw-dropping musicianship.The group were in town to perform as part of the long-established Montreux Jazz Festival, an event held in the city since the mid-sixties and which has attracted top bands and performers from all areas of popular music - jazz, blues, pop, rock and world.They kick off with the rarely performed classic "Fireball", a hit for the group back in 1971 which they hadn't performed onstage for almost 25 years. Their set also included the classic tracks "Pictures Of Home" and "When A Blind Man Cries" (from "Machine Head"), as well as "Black Night" (their first European hit), "Woman From Tokyo" (from "Who Do We Think We Are") and a blistering version of "Speed King".
In Concert With the London Symphony Orchestra
In 1969 Deep Purple premiered Jon Lord’s groundbreaking “Concerto For Group And Orchestra” at the Royal Albert Hall. Thirty years later, in September 1999, Deep Purple and the London Symphony Orchestra returned to the same venue for the concerto’s second performance. The centrepiece of the concert is of course the concerto itself but it is preceded by a short set of other Jon Lord tracks, songs from Roger Glover’s “Butterfly Ball” (sung by Ronnie James Dio) and Ian Paice’s jazz arrangement of the early Purple classic “Wring That Neck”. Following the concerto are five Deep Purple classics culminating with “Smoke On The Water”.
