I was there April 6th 1974 Ontario, CA California Jam. I was 15 so I had to buy my older brother & His girlfriend a ticket so I could go. We left after Purple since it was getting late.
Thank you, Rick and Pete for this show. I am a live show guy I work in the live show entertainment business,.Your covering three of my favorite bands the Allman Brothers, Deep Purple, and Jimi Hendrix I couldn’t be more happy to watch these shows and listen to you guys break down these live records.
I was at the Knebworth show on 22 June 1985. Weirdly, I'm wearing the t shirt I bought at the gig, as I type. Even after almost 40 years, it still fits. The full line up was (from the bottom up): Alaska Mountain Mama's Boys Blackfoot UFO Meatloaf Scorpions Deep Purple My biggest memories of that day is it being the wettest "Mid Summer Day" in over 300 years. It started raining just as Alaska came on stage at about 11.30am and finally stopped raining when we were waiting to leave the car park at about half past midnight. My other memory is more of a nightmare. The toilets were like medieval plague pits. Some nights, I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking about them. Other than that, a fun day.
Some more cool stuff: Aachen 1970, Perks And Tit (San Diego 74), Rotterdam Ahoy 2000, Newcastle 2001, Wollongong 2001, Hong Kong 2001, The BBC Sessions 1968-70, Now What Live Tapes and Infinite Live Recordings.
I think it's pretty special. Over time I started to notice magical moments... probably the reason they chose those particular recordings. The title is great to.
I love Rick’s enthusiasm. Always great to see him on SoT. A question: Man, why were Purple playing at Hofstra in 1973 when Nassau Coliseum opened in early 1972? I guess they were playing at only the Felt Forum at the same time - but three days. Maybe they couldn’t sell out really big places in or near the city at that time.
Mark III Live in London is fucking awesome. The Mark III live sets are probably my favorite overall. I found Live In London on cassette at some hole in the wall mess of store sometime around 1989. I never saw any other copy of it until it got reissued on CD.
Great show, I had no clue on how extensive their live catalog really was. As a reference, the very first Purple album that I ever bought was Made in Japan (1972). Will have to checkout some of the others now.
Great show . Yea I got along some of the Deep Purple of the day the 70s period. 68 Inglewood CD as well, 96 Olympia CD and stuff. And one Joe Lynn Turner show in Poland cassette and well the big selection you guys have great to see and watch. TC
Great show guys! You shed a lot of light on some of the recordings that I have been hesitant about(Graz 1975, Paris 1975, Long Beach 1976) A show that I've loved for years that I've only seen on DVD is the Perihelion concert. My brother gave that DVD to me for my birthday 19 years ago and I love it.
The 69 concert was probably at the Great Western Forum which is located in Inglewood, CA. Very close to LA. My favorite archival releases are Graz 1975 and Paris 1975.
I left bootlegs off because that's it's own list. These are my 10 favorite in order. 1. STOCKHOLM "70 2. LONG BEACH '71 3. In Concert 1970 4. Made In Japan 5. Copenhagen 1972 6. In Concert 1972 7. Live In London 8. Paris 75 9. Graz 75 10. Live At The Olympia 96
Live in Inglewood 68 its the first available I think Gillan first ive in Amsterdam 69 Scandanavian Nights in 1970 as well Live in Graz are amazing, like live in Paris, last ones both 1975
Stockholm 1970 is the one for me In Concert 1970/1972 these were recorded for BBC Radio, the first on in the studio, with a dj talking between songs. Probably why the audience is a little subdued in parts, especially 1970 Coverdale broke his mic stand right at the start which is why it's "hinged" on California Jam Missing Space Vol I&II (Made in Germany) Perks And Tit San Diego Sports Arena on 9 April 1974 Perfect Strangers (Live) From the Battle Rages on Tour there are a few great bootlegs but proper recordings: Knock the Truckin' (Turin, Italy and Kassel Germany) and In Your Trousers (Stockholm) Come Hell or High Water - Ritchie wanted early shows filming because of Gillan's propensity to have vocal issues and the water was meant for a camerman. Ritchie wanted no camermen on stage
Interesting Notes. Randy California and Chris Cross both played with them during the early/mid 70s replacing Blackmore due his illness Next one can be heard on a CD bonus of a Japan concert in 75. During that tour Glenn Hughes get asked in an Interview (US interviewer) if he will describle their music as Heavy Metal? He didnt know that word and was very confused about that term. Its an US term; english back than may described these type of music as High enery rock, perhaps heavy rock, or hard rock or Progressive rock Dont miss the117db concert in London 72, live at the Rainbow Theatre
@@gordy3714 Not that I know of, there maybe a bootleg out there, but if you have Graz or Paris the set list will be similar, but yes it would be nice to have that Saarbrucken show, but I have to say Burn and the Gypsy on both Graz an Paris, Blackmore is on fire, as are the rest of the boys.
Good Show, Great Topic. But I am surprised neither of you mentioned the 4 DVD collection "Around The World Live" that came out 15-20 years ago. (My failing eyes can't make out the year.) 3 full concerts included (1995 Bombay Calling, 1999 Total Abandon, 2002 Live At The NEC plus a documentary)
Slight correction...Come Hell Or High Water (Birmingham NEC -October 16th 1993), wasn't Ritchie's last show with DP. He quit a few shows later, on November 17th 1993 - Helsinki. The Inglewood concert in 1968, supporting Cream, was the tour they got kicked off because Ritchie was upstaging Eric Clapton. True story.
@@gordy3714 No, at this concert he didn't appear on stage till the song was halfway through. Then he wandered over and threw water at someone. I was at the show and witnessed it. Check out the UA-cam video, Highway Star - Come Hell Or High Water.
@@CB-xr1eg I've seen it but there is footage later on at another concert where he puts his guitar down and cites Ians unprofessional behavior for walking off.
My first Hard Rock album I had was Made in Japan... my older brother gave it to me. Then I bought some more. The Mark II is very enjoyable as is the Mark III.

Hush, Child In Time and Wring That Neck from Concerto were on a comp called Powerhouse - the first posthumous release after the first split. I played that record constantly.
Thank you very much. I always enjoy working with Pete. He is a good person inside and out. I am grateful for his friendship. He has good taste "IN ROCK" music.
There was also Mk III The Final Concerts which was a double CD from the Graz, Paris and Saabrucken gigs, as featured on Made In Europe, which came out prior to the individual Graz and Paris shows.
Pete, Please tell me you have the Made in Japan box set with all 3 complete shows including all the encores!!! It was released in 2014. I bought the 3 disc set that came out in 1993, but noticed they took a couple songs off the sets as they were released on the original MIJ, but that 2014 releases it so killer, and comes with a reprint of the tour program. I have all of what you guys showed us, and would like one official release with JLT on vocals. I have a boot with good quality, but need an official one. Also that 1993 tour that Rick showed was originally released in a 4 disc box set titled Live In Europe with a show from Stuttgard and the NEC, the last couple shows with Ritchie. It was released in 2006.
Great collection of live purple - there was also a History, Hits and Highlights 68-76 DVD that came out in 2009 with a lot of live footage on from places like the Bilzen festival in 1969, mk1 performing on High Hefner's Playboy tv show and their perfomance on Germany's Beat Club/ Rockpalast doing No No No The three songs from the concerto recording were also originally released on the album 'Powerhouse' in the late 70s on which there was a live Black Night from Tokyo that was also on 24 carat purple and two at that point unreleased tracks Painted Horse and Cry Free. In the Absence of Pink - the Knebwrth live CD was a recording by the BBC - when I heard it on the radio I'm sure that Under the Gun was broadcast, however it doesnt feature on the album and wikipedia says it wasnt recorded so I may have just imagined it. Also the Live Encounter DVD has Ian Gillan singing with a throat infection - not his greatest hour to be honest- not to mention the version of Child in Time on the BBC 1970/72 set where he doesnt manage to hit those notes - the 72 set was recently released separately. There's also a few You Tube shows from the Infinite tour - live at the BBC and live from Helfest that are pretty good too. Not forgetting the 'now what live tapes' and 'infinite live recordings volume 1'. That Satriani set that Pete held up is, I believe , a bootleg - as I have the same one. They also officially released a couple of sets of bootlegs from the mk 2 reunion and Steve Morse era and there were the Deep Purple Appreciation Society's Sonic Zoom releases of some of their1970s boots. Tons of live purple to enjoy and as Pete says each one gives you something a little bit different, especially those wth Blackmore on. Have to say apart from MiJ and MiE (on which many of the songs are apparently from Saarbrucken though they've never released the Saarbrucken show yet despite there being teasers that it would come out as a MiE deluxe set - maybe they mixed parts of each of those three concerts together to make the best versions of the live MK3 songs?) my favourites are the BBC 70/72, Graz and Paris 75 - and Long Beach 71 and 76.
The CD version of Come Hell or High Water from Japan is killer Pete …. He plays a beautiful slide guitar on the solo in Child in Time , so different than anything else he has ever played on that track … highly recommended if you haven’t heard it , I feel he’s almost always playing his best when he’s leaving or someone new just joined the band!
i had the king biscuit hour from 76 long beach. i found a lot of it unlistenable due to glenn hughes vocal histrionics. espessialy on " georgia on my mind ". other than that cd. just brilliant performances.
That Knebworth show, (they did headline) was the ONLY UK date of the Perfect Strangers reunion tour. Gillan was not happy about that. One date in their home country. Neither was I, so I didn't go.
The 1968 live recording comes from a pro video that has deteriorated badly but the audio was still half decent, legend said Hendrix went straight backstage to meet Ricardo after the show, and Clapton had them dropped from the tour next day. The three Deep Purple live tracks from the Sept 69 show on royal albert hall was already available on Powerhouse in 1978 , first album to be released after the break up Deep Purple - Live And Rare is one of the so many half butchered editions of the 1970 stockholm show originally released in 1989 as Scandinavian Nights... the EDEL release with the dvd is the only one in proper order with all in between song banter Deep Purple in COncert was released in 1970... the cd version had one extra track and the show was re released a couple of years ago with an extra track from the rehearsals and all the inbetween song banter as Machine Head live, The 1971 show is incomplete, there is a complete double cd bootleg doing the rounds, no idea why they didnt release the full show Live in London was a BBC in COncert recording to promote Burn Before Graz and Paris we had in 93/94 the Mark 3 Final Concerts double album that functioned as a extended version of MAde In Europe, with tracks unavailable elsewhere. Deep Purple - In The Absence Of Pink - Knebworth 85 even thou double album misses a couple of tracks, available on the bootleg version Two of the shows that were recorded for Come Hell Or High Water were released in 2006 as Deep Purple - Live In Europe, 1993 (Stuttgard and Sheffield) and later both shows were released as separate sets.... Those Germany 1993 shows are some badass shows by the way... one taper got them all and they are amazing ricardo fests A lot of really nice sounding boots from the Satch shows... but no official releases, except the one track on Gillans Inn
also what about the Deep Purple - The Bootleg Series 1984 - 2000 box and the Deep Purple - The Bootleg Series 1984 - 2000 box? Some badass 1984 / 1985 and 1987 shows i=on the first box and some incredibke versons of FOOLS on the 2000 shows
In Concert was released in the UK on the back of the success of the Deepest Purple compilation, and the sessions were recorded for radio in front of a small audience, which is why the audience is a little subdued. BBC recordings of that era are often better than official releases. There was also an earlier UK release called Powerhouse which had some outtakes and live performances, including the three from the 1969 Concerto show. I was at Knebworth in 1985. Not the greatest show the band ever played, but the greatest show I've ever seen, and a better performance than the Australian show that was released on DVD.
C’mon Pete ! Live in London was released in 82 , on Purple records …. To me it is the very best of the not Made in Japan live Purple albums , much prefer the original vinyl over the cd reissue, there was a good reason they left off Space Truckin’
Nobody's Perfect is awesome, to me anyway. Three tracks at least, Child in Time, Lazy and Smoke on the Water, rival their MiJ counterparts. Highway Star and Strange King of Woman draw level with theirs. The new songs sound powerful. Woman from Tokyo and Black Night aren't all that impressive, both sounding a bit uncommitted, and the short version of Space Truckin' feels incomplete, but Hush makes up for those slight disappointments.
Made in Japan, Made in Europe and Live at California 1974 are my favorite Deep Purple live albums! I can mimic the opening guitar riff to Smoke on the Water using my voice by singing it! Pretty cool, huh?
Agree with your first 2 but I can't listen to Cal Jam '74. The sound is awful, especially Coverdale's vocals. It sounds like he's gargling mouthwash or something, I have the DVD but never watch it.
With the California Jam Purple were a bigger selling band than ELP (in fact, in '73 and '74 they sold more abums than anyone, invlufing Zeppelin) but Ritchie only wanted to go on just as the sun is setting, and therefore ELP had to close despite expecting to go on before Purple. Plus, the typically mischievous Blackmore wanted to make a statement by blowing up his amps, making it impossible for ELP to top them. Coverdale has said that when he joined Purple he chose to use a boom mic stand rather than a straight one to be different. Another interesting bit of information about the California Jam is that Coverdale had a $1 million royalty cheque in his back pocket while onstage, which was a massive amount in 1974. I do prefer Live In London album, not just because the mix is better but I think Ritchie plays better on it. There is a two CD version of Nobody's Perfect (and it's remastered), and includes great versions of Bad Attitude and Dead Or Alive (Ritchie is fantastic on that!). I was at Birmingham for that Come Hell Or High Water, at the front. Travelled 300 miles and was gutted Ritchie was being silly (as he did when I saw them in '87, when the band had to play Smoke On The Water without him,). However, he does play as one great solos at times (he's got some fire on Lazy). Agree with Pete about not liking David and Glenn singing Mark II material, it's as if they are performing reluctantly. I was also at the Concerto in '99 and no one in the audience knew Ronnie was going to also be performing, plus Gillan did some some solo material, as did Jon. It was a very emotional night, my favourite Purple gig. They did Child In Time again in 2002 and Gillan hit all the screams and got a standing ovation. Def Leppard's Joe Elliott was there that night and has commented on being blown away by Gillan's performance. Live At The Olympia '96 was the first live release with Steve Morse, from the Purpendicular tour. Even.has a horn section on a couple of songs. Great set list.
Saw them in 85 on the Perfect strangers tour then again a few years ago with morse. Great both times. It would be worth doing a whole show on Blackmores assholery lol. Great player but what a raging prick!
Blackmore would never play riffs/solos the same way live? Hendrix is the 'poster child' of this. Can't wait for the next episode featuring live Hendrix recordings - although how you gonna touch Band Of Gypsys (especially the full/expanded shows)? Freedom: Atlanta Pop Festival from 1970 is a good one. Live In Maui (the 'real' Rainbow Bridge concert) is tremendous. Of course Woodstock... I know this will get hard core Purple (and especially no-Blackmore-no-Purple) fans riled but my fave live Purple is This Time Around - Live In Tokyo '75. As we all know Bolin wasn't always ready to go live due to his drug issues but there's some great stuff here. Special shout out for Graz 1975 too on the Blackmore side. I think the Purple/Bolin stuff is so special to me since his stint with the band was so short (and the resulting music so different) - and to me CTTB is one of THE great 70's rock albums...For early live Purple how 'bout BBC Sessions 1968-1970? For live Purple/Morse I'd go with Live At The Olympia '96. I don't usually go for symphonies playing on rock albums but In Concert With The London Symphony Orchestra/Live In Verona (With Orchestra) are pretty good too. So is To The Rising Sun (In Tokyo)
Nothing wrong at all with your favorite live album. We all have our own likes. Come Taste The Band is in my top 3 Purple albums and that Live In Tokyo 75 show is killer. Good stuff and nice write up.
@@wolf1977can you read or listen?? Pete mentions the Dead around. 3:52 in regards to improv (maybe you can tell him it’s also a Deep Purple episode) and your own comment mentions Hendrix being the “poster child” for improv yet the Dead started a year before Are You Experienced was even released.. I won’t even go into Jazz guitar improv .. no way did you almost have it, in fact you couldn’t have missed any wider..😂😂
Hi, Pete...I don't mean to be a whiny-bag here, but Rick's first choice...he just said "this one," and did not give the name of the album...sigh...can you please post a list below of both of your selections? I'm going through my vast collection of live Deep Purple recordings and want to make sure that I have all that you mentioned during the show...mind you, I'm only 11:47 into it, so...just sayin'. Thanks!
@@seaoftranquilityprog no problem, bud. I have the majority of the albums you guys mentioned, but there's a couple I'm missing. Can't have enough live Purple stuff! Thanks!
It's a shame they didn't do Spacetruckin on the Live in Stockholm album thar would have made all of the long ones on the same album. But they did remaster side 2 off In Concert but not side one. But the Strange Kind of Woman off the 3rd night in in Tokyo is better than the one from the 2nd night which they put on the Made in Japan album. 👍
Other than teenage girls and middle aged white women, who wants to go see a band play songs note for note live, sounding just like the studio versions? never understood it, why bother going to a concert when it sounds the same as sitting in your living room?? Btw- they were called the Los Angeles Lakers not the Inglewood Lakers - same venue ..
I'm glad you guys mentioned them playing to more of a heavy metal crowd and getting their respect. Saw Michael Schenker Group at Hell fest and it was the same to me. Most those people didn't know who they were but once they hit song 2-3 crowd was getting into it and by the end the realized they saw something great and Schenker was on it. The UFO songs were awesome as usual even with Romero being lazy not singing all the correct lyrics. Great to see shit like that.
I was there April 6th 1974 Ontario, CA California Jam. I was 15 so I had to buy my older brother & His girlfriend a ticket so I could go. We left after Purple since it was getting late.
Rick. Pete. I totally enjoyed. Man, what a collection by you both Thx again for your time 👍💯
It's always a good day whenever Pete talks about Deep Purple! Again I say, I love Rick's enthusiasm in these videos!
My absolute favorites are "Live in Stuttgart 1993" and "Live in Rome 2013". Both shows are absolute fantastic. Try them and you will enjoy for sure.
The live era I want to hear more of is Mark II 1969-1970. Those performances are always crazy.
BBC Sessions 1968-70 is good for early live
Thank you, Rick and Pete for this show. I am a live show guy I work in the live show entertainment business,.Your covering three of my favorite bands the Allman Brothers, Deep Purple, and Jimi Hendrix I couldn’t be more happy to watch these shows and listen to you guys break down these live records.
I was at the Knebworth show on 22 June 1985. Weirdly, I'm wearing the t shirt I bought at the gig, as I type. Even after almost 40 years, it still fits. The full line up was (from the bottom up):
Alaska
Mountain
Mama's Boys
Blackfoot
UFO

My biggest memories of that day is it being the wettest "Mid Summer Day" in over 300 years. It started raining just as Alaska came on stage at about 11.30am and finally stopped raining when we were waiting to leave the car park at about half past midnight.

I was at the hofstra university show
a fantastic tour through the live material.... 😃💙👍👍
Graz is a firm favourite with me. Thanks for the comprehensive and knowledgable overview.
Rick and Pete, I share your immense enthusiasm for Purple! Great show ❤
Great show! Very thorough and informative about DP's live catalog.
Paris was stunning
I love "Nobody's perfect", but It's the only Deep Purple cd I had in my youth. Great show, thank you both!
I think it's pretty special. Over time I started to notice magical moments... probably the reason they chose those particular recordings. The title is great to.
1. Made in Japan
2. Made in Europe
3. In Concert 1980 (Recorded 1970 and 1972)
4. Scandinavian Nights (Live In Stockholm 1970)
5. Cal Jam ‘74
Men after my own heart. Have all those. Love the band.
Amazing collection guys 🤘🤘
I love Rick’s enthusiasm. Always great to see him on SoT.

From a massive purple fan❤
We NEED an official live release of the Joe Lynn Turner era. It is about time!
Great show, I had no clue on how extensive their live catalog really was. As a reference, the very first Purple album that I ever bought was Made in Japan (1972). Will have to checkout some of the others now.
awesome thanks to both of you for a great show
I love your t-shirts guys
Great show . Yea I got along some of the Deep Purple of the day the 70s period. 68 Inglewood CD as well, 96 Olympia CD and stuff. And one Joe Lynn Turner show in Poland cassette and well the big selection you guys have great to see and watch. TC
Great show guys! You shed a lot of light on some of the recordings that I have been hesitant about(Graz 1975, Paris 1975, Long Beach 1976)
A show that I've loved for years that I've only seen on DVD is the Perihelion concert. My brother gave that DVD to me for my birthday 19 years ago and I love it.
Another great video with Rick.😃👍
Don’t forget at the Sydney show in ‘84 that George Harrison came on stage and did Little Richard’s Lucille with the band, not sure of its on the CD
The 69 concert was probably at the Great Western Forum which is located in Inglewood, CA. Very close to LA. My favorite archival releases are Graz 1975 and Paris 1975.
Graz is very good IMO. Long Beach 1976 is another great one
My favorite live show with Steve morse is from the nec on the around the world box set when john lord is joined on stage by don airey.
In the absence of pink is tremendous- perfect strangers tour at knebworth. Sound is incredible
I left bootlegs off because that's it's own list. These are my 10 favorite in order.
1. STOCKHOLM "70
2. LONG BEACH '71
3. In Concert 1970
4. Made In Japan
5. Copenhagen 1972
6. In Concert 1972
7. Live In London
8. Paris 75
9. Graz 75
10. Live At The Olympia 96
Live in Inglewood 68 its the first available I think
Gillan first ive in Amsterdam 69
Scandanavian Nights in 1970 as well Live in Graz are amazing, like live in Paris, last ones both 1975
Stockholm 1970 is the one for me
In Concert 1970/1972 these were recorded for BBC Radio, the first on in the studio, with a dj talking between songs. Probably why the audience is a little subdued in parts, especially 1970
Coverdale broke his mic stand right at the start which is why it's "hinged" on California Jam
Missing
Space Vol I&II (Made in Germany)
Perks And Tit San Diego Sports Arena on 9 April 1974
Perfect Strangers (Live)
From the Battle Rages on Tour there are a few great bootlegs but proper recordings: Knock the Truckin' (Turin, Italy and Kassel Germany) and In Your Trousers (Stockholm)
Come Hell or High Water - Ritchie wanted early shows filming because of Gillan's propensity to have vocal issues and the water was meant for a camerman. Ritchie wanted no camermen on stage
I love Jon Lords organ solo on Mandrake Root off the Aachen Space concert.
Interesting Notes.
Randy California and Chris Cross both played with them during the early/mid 70s replacing Blackmore due his illness
Next one can be heard on a CD bonus of a Japan concert in 75. During that tour Glenn Hughes get asked in an Interview (US interviewer) if he will describle their music as Heavy Metal? He didnt know that word and was very confused about that term. Its an US term; english back than may described these type of music as High enery rock, perhaps heavy rock, or hard rock or Progressive rock
Dont miss the117db concert in London 72, live at the Rainbow Theatre
Live in Graz and live in Paris are tremendous, Blackmore is on fire, Gypsy is stunning, on both performances.
Do you know if they released the Saarbrucken concert which was part of the Made in Europe set.
@@gordy3714 Not that I know of, there maybe a bootleg out there, but if you have Graz or Paris the set list will be similar, but yes it would be nice to have that Saarbrucken show, but I have to say Burn and the Gypsy on both Graz an Paris, Blackmore is on fire, as are the rest of the boys.
@@clivesilver463 Do you know which song or songs you were on the Saarbrucken concert that were on Made in Europe.
@@gordy3714 Mistreated, is from Germany Saarbrucken, Stormbringer from Graz, Burn is Graz, lady double dealer is Paris and You Fool No One is Paris.
@@clivesilver463 👍
Good Show, Great Topic. But I am surprised neither of you mentioned the 4 DVD collection "Around The World Live" that came out 15-20 years ago. (My failing eyes can't make out the year.) 3 full concerts included (1995 Bombay Calling, 1999 Total Abandon, 2002 Live At The NEC plus a documentary)
I have it, but didn’t pull out any of my dvds
Slight correction...Come Hell Or High Water (Birmingham NEC -October 16th 1993), wasn't Ritchie's last show with DP.
He quit a few shows later, on November 17th 1993 - Helsinki.
The Inglewood concert in 1968, supporting Cream, was the tour they got kicked off because Ritchie was upstaging Eric Clapton. True story.
Thanks!!
Is that when he puts his guitar down and walks off stage.
@@gordy3714 No, at this concert he didn't appear on stage till the song was halfway through. Then he wandered over and threw water at someone. I was at the show and witnessed it. Check out the UA-cam video, Highway Star - Come Hell Or High Water.
@@CB-xr1eg I've seen it but there is footage later on at another concert where he puts his guitar down and cites Ians unprofessional behavior for walking off.
@@gordy3714 AGAIN? Kinda what happened when Hendrix joined Cream onstage. Clapton's ego/confidence must've been pretty fragile back then...
My first Hard Rock album I had was Made in Japan... my older brother gave it to me. Then I bought some more. The Mark II is very enjoyable as is the Mark III.
Great collections.
All reviewed albums are in my collection too.

Hush, Child In Time and Wring That Neck from Concerto were on a comp called Powerhouse - the first posthumous release after the first split. I played that record constantly.
Still got Powerhouse on vinyl, along with When We Rock We Rock...Deep Purple As & Bs, 24 Carat Purple.
Missed Aachen 1970 issued by Sonic Zoom! A great live Record
Just ordered it!
You need to do Joe Bonamassa’s live albums.
You two are great together. Really Really enjoyed this.
Thank you very much. I always enjoy working with Pete. He is a good person inside and out. I am grateful for his friendship. He has good taste "IN ROCK" music.
There was also Mk III The Final Concerts which was a double CD from the Graz, Paris and Saabrucken gigs, as featured on Made In Europe, which came out prior to the individual Graz and Paris shows.
Pete, Please tell me you have the Made in Japan box set with all 3 complete shows including all the encores!!! It was released in 2014. I bought the 3 disc set that came out in 1993, but noticed they took a couple songs off the sets as they were released on the original MIJ, but that 2014 releases it so killer, and comes with a reprint of the tour program. I have all of what you guys showed us, and would like one official release with JLT on vocals. I have a boot with good quality, but need an official one. Also that 1993 tour that Rick showed was originally released in a 4 disc box set titled Live In Europe with a show from Stuttgard and the NEC, the last couple shows with Ritchie. It was released in 2006.
I have Made In Japan Box set. Thanks for sharing about Stuttgard show!
@@ricklabonte6790 Love those 93 shows!!
Great collection of live purple - there was also a History, Hits and Highlights 68-76 DVD that came out in 2009 with a lot of live footage on from places like the Bilzen festival in 1969, mk1 performing on High Hefner's Playboy tv show and their perfomance on Germany's Beat Club/ Rockpalast doing No No No
The three songs from the concerto recording were also originally released on the album 'Powerhouse' in the late 70s on which there was a live Black Night from Tokyo that was also on 24 carat purple and two at that point unreleased tracks Painted Horse and Cry Free.
In the Absence of Pink - the Knebwrth live CD was a recording by the BBC - when I heard it on the radio I'm sure that Under the Gun was broadcast, however it doesnt feature on the album and wikipedia says it wasnt recorded so I may have just imagined it. Also the Live Encounter DVD has Ian Gillan singing with a throat infection - not his greatest hour to be honest- not to mention the version of Child in Time on the BBC 1970/72 set where he doesnt manage to hit those notes - the 72 set was recently released separately.
There's also a few You Tube shows from the Infinite tour - live at the BBC and live from Helfest that are pretty good too.
Not forgetting the 'now what live tapes' and 'infinite live recordings volume 1'.
That Satriani set that Pete held up is, I believe , a bootleg - as I have the same one. They also officially released a couple of sets of bootlegs from the mk 2 reunion and Steve Morse era and there were the Deep Purple Appreciation Society's Sonic Zoom releases of some of their1970s boots.
Tons of live purple to enjoy and as Pete says each one gives you something a little bit different, especially those wth Blackmore on.
Have to say apart from MiJ and MiE (on which many of the songs are apparently from Saarbrucken though they've never released the Saarbrucken show yet despite there being teasers that it would come out as a MiE deluxe set - maybe they mixed parts of each of those three concerts together to make the best versions of the live MK3 songs?) my favourites are the BBC 70/72, Graz and Paris 75 - and Long Beach 71 and 76.
There is a 4 CD box "THe broadcast collection 1968 - 1991"that features a Joe Lynn Turner show from Brazil on 2 discs in pretty good quality
Well my favourite is Live In London. Mistreated is so damn good but the version on California 74 is off the chart.
The CD version of Come Hell or High Water from Japan is killer Pete …. He plays a beautiful slide guitar on the solo in Child in Time , so different than anything else he has ever played on that track … highly recommended if you haven’t heard it , I feel he’s almost always playing his best when he’s leaving or someone new just joined the band!
Was just on Ebay and saw The Lost 1993 concert featuring fhe JLT lineup. Import from Japan
JLT was 1991
@@Rollusify I know that, I'm just telling you the title of the cd.
i have the " made in japan " super deluxe box with the 3 cds plus a cd of odd songs like black night probably encores? very cool.
i had the king biscuit hour from 76 long beach. i found a lot of it unlistenable due to glenn hughes vocal histrionics. espessialy on " georgia on my mind ". other than that cd. just brilliant performances.
Live In Montreux
You miss a few of these Cardboard Things. It's six in total.
In the abcense of pink lift these clouds
That Knebworth show, (they did headline) was the ONLY UK date of the Perfect Strangers reunion tour. Gillan was not happy about that. One date in their home country. Neither was I, so I didn't go.
You need to listen to live at Aachen 1970. Released on the sonic zoom label. Its Jon Lord heaven. Their finest live album hands down.
Best live version Black Nigts
Did anyone mention "Live at the Olympia '96," or did I just miss it?
yes I did. Thanks for checking
@@ricklabonte4144 excellent
The 1968 live recording comes from a pro video that has deteriorated badly but the audio was still half decent, legend said Hendrix went straight backstage to meet Ricardo after the show, and Clapton had them dropped from the tour next day.
The three Deep Purple live tracks from the Sept 69 show on royal albert hall was already available on Powerhouse in 1978 , first album to be released after the break up
Deep Purple - Live And Rare is one of the so many half butchered editions of the 1970 stockholm show originally released in 1989 as Scandinavian Nights... the EDEL release with the dvd is the only one in proper order with all in between song banter
Deep Purple in COncert was released in 1970... the cd version had one extra track and the show was re released a couple of years ago with an extra track from the rehearsals and all the inbetween song banter as Machine Head live,
The 1971 show is incomplete, there is a complete double cd bootleg doing the rounds, no idea why they didnt release the full show
Live in London was a BBC in COncert recording to promote Burn
Before Graz and Paris we had in 93/94 the Mark 3 Final Concerts double album that functioned as a extended version of MAde In Europe, with tracks unavailable elsewhere.
Deep Purple - In The Absence Of Pink - Knebworth 85 even thou double album misses a couple of tracks, available on the bootleg version
Two of the shows that were recorded for Come Hell Or High Water were released in 2006 as Deep Purple - Live In Europe, 1993 (Stuttgard and Sheffield) and later both shows were released as separate sets.... Those Germany 1993 shows are some badass shows by the way... one taper got them all and they are amazing ricardo fests
A lot of really nice sounding boots from the Satch shows... but no official releases, except the one track on Gillans Inn
also what about the Deep Purple - The Bootleg Series 1984 - 2000 box and the Deep Purple - The Bootleg Series 1984 - 2000 box? Some badass 1984 / 1985 and 1987 shows i=on the first box and some incredibke versons of FOOLS on the 2000 shows
And what about the 1971 Montreux show just released as part of the Machine Head box?
In Concert was released in the UK on the back of the success of the Deepest Purple compilation, and the sessions were recorded for radio in front of a small audience, which is why the audience is a little subdued. BBC recordings of that era are often better than official releases. There was also an earlier UK release called Powerhouse which had some outtakes and live performances, including the three from the 1969 Concerto show. I was at Knebworth in 1985. Not the greatest show the band ever played, but the greatest show I've ever seen, and a better performance than the Australian show that was released on DVD.
Could you do a Motörhead one?🤷🏻♂️
Just curious, how many of these CDs are official releases? Anybody know?
C’mon Pete ! Live in London was released in 82 , on Purple records …. To me it is the very best of the not Made in Japan live Purple albums , much prefer the original vinyl over the cd reissue, there was a good reason they left off Space Truckin’
Nobody's Perfect is awesome, to me anyway. Three tracks at least, Child in Time, Lazy and Smoke on the Water, rival their MiJ counterparts. Highway Star and Strange King of Woman draw level with theirs. The new songs sound powerful. Woman from Tokyo and Black Night aren't all that impressive, both sounding a bit uncommitted, and the short version of Space Truckin' feels incomplete, but Hush makes up for those slight disappointments.
Made in Japan, Made in Europe and Live at California 1974 are my favorite Deep Purple live albums! I can mimic the opening guitar riff to Smoke on the Water using my voice by singing it! Pretty cool, huh?
Agree with your first 2 but I can't listen to Cal Jam '74. The sound is awful, especially Coverdale's vocals. It sounds like he's gargling mouthwash or something, I have the DVD but never watch it.
With the California Jam Purple were a bigger selling band than ELP (in fact, in '73 and '74 they sold more abums than anyone, invlufing Zeppelin) but Ritchie only wanted to go on just as the sun is setting, and therefore ELP had to close despite expecting to go on before Purple. Plus, the typically mischievous Blackmore wanted to make a statement by blowing up his amps, making it impossible for ELP to top them.
Coverdale has said that when he joined Purple he chose to use a boom mic stand rather than a straight one to be different. Another interesting bit of information about the California Jam is that Coverdale had a $1 million royalty cheque in his back pocket while onstage, which was a massive amount in 1974.
I do prefer Live In London album, not just because the mix is better but I think Ritchie plays better on it.
There is a two CD version of Nobody's Perfect (and it's remastered), and includes great versions of Bad Attitude and Dead Or Alive (Ritchie is fantastic on that!).
I was at Birmingham for that Come Hell Or High Water, at the front. Travelled 300 miles and was gutted Ritchie was being silly (as he did when I saw them in '87, when the band had to play Smoke On The Water without him,). However, he does play as one great solos at times (he's got some fire on Lazy).
Agree with Pete about not liking David and Glenn singing Mark II material, it's as if they are performing reluctantly.
I was also at the Concerto in '99 and no one in the audience knew Ronnie was going to also be performing, plus Gillan did some some solo material, as did Jon. It was a very emotional night, my favourite Purple gig.
They did Child In Time again in 2002 and Gillan hit all the screams and got a standing ovation. Def Leppard's Joe Elliott was there that night and has commented on being blown away by Gillan's performance.
Live At The Olympia '96 was the first live release with Steve Morse, from the Purpendicular tour. Even.has a horn section on a couple of songs. Great set list.
Thanks for sharing that.
Saw them in 85 on the Perfect strangers tour then again a few years ago with morse. Great both times. It would be worth doing a whole show on Blackmores assholery lol. Great player but what a raging prick!
Blackmore would never play riffs/solos the same way live? Hendrix is the 'poster child' of this. Can't wait for the next episode featuring live Hendrix recordings - although how you gonna touch Band Of Gypsys (especially the full/expanded shows)? Freedom: Atlanta Pop Festival from 1970 is a good one. Live In Maui (the 'real' Rainbow Bridge concert) is tremendous. Of course Woodstock...
I know this will get hard core Purple (and especially no-Blackmore-no-Purple) fans riled but my fave live Purple is This Time Around - Live In Tokyo '75. As we all know Bolin wasn't always ready to go live due to his drug issues but there's some great stuff here. Special shout out for Graz 1975 too on the Blackmore side. I think the Purple/Bolin stuff is so special to me since his stint with the band was so short (and the resulting music so different) - and to me CTTB is one of THE great 70's rock albums...For early live Purple how 'bout BBC Sessions 1968-1970? For live Purple/Morse I'd go with Live At The Olympia '96. I don't usually go for symphonies playing on rock albums but In Concert With The London Symphony Orchestra/Live In Verona (With Orchestra) are pretty good too. So is To The Rising Sun (In Tokyo)
Grateful Dead’s first show was 1965… you almost had it …
@@rick063092 This is the Deep Purple episode...🤷♂Who's talking about the first Grateful Dead show here?
Nothing wrong at all with your favorite live album. We all have our own likes. Come Taste The Band is in my top 3 Purple albums and that Live In Tokyo 75 show is killer. Good stuff and nice write up.
@rick063092 Grateful Dead is not Deep Purple but you almost had it!
@@wolf1977can you read or listen?? Pete mentions the Dead around. 3:52 in regards to improv (maybe you can tell him it’s also a Deep Purple episode) and your own comment mentions Hendrix being the “poster child” for improv yet the Dead started a year before Are You Experienced was even released.. I won’t even go into Jazz guitar improv .. no way did you almost have it, in fact you couldn’t have missed any wider..😂😂
The Who have a ton of Live Shit, too.
I agree. We plan to tackle The Who at some point.
@@ricklabonte6790 Oh, very good. I'll look for it. Thanks, Rick.
Hi, Pete...I don't mean to be a whiny-bag here, but Rick's first choice...he just said "this one," and did not give the name of the album...sigh...can you please post a list below of both of your selections? I'm going through my vast collection of live Deep Purple recordings and want to make sure that I have all that you mentioned during the show...mind you, I'm only 11:47 into it, so...just sayin'. Thanks!
I don't have a printed list Patrick....
The first one we spoke about was the 1968 Inglewood show featuring the Mk1 line-up.
@@seaoftranquilityprog no problem, bud. I have the majority of the albums you guys mentioned, but there's a couple I'm missing. Can't have enough live Purple stuff! Thanks!
@@seaoftranquilityprog the one I was curious about was Rick's first choice, after the Inglewood show. Thanks.
@patrickmurphy4297 sorry about that. "This one" was Comcerto For Group and Orchestra- Deep Purple (1969)
Wasn't the difference between the 70s and 90s that Richie wanted to leave in the 70s and was basically fired in the 90s?
It's a shame they didn't do Spacetruckin on the Live in Stockholm album thar would have made all of the long ones on the same album.
But they did remaster side 2 off In Concert but not side one.
But the Strange Kind of Woman off the 3rd night in in Tokyo is better than the one from the 2nd night which they put on the Made in Japan album. 👍
Other than teenage girls and middle aged white women, who wants to go see a band play songs note for note live, sounding just like the studio versions? never understood it, why bother going to a concert when it sounds the same as sitting in your living room?? Btw- they were called the Los Angeles Lakers not the Inglewood Lakers - same venue ..
Graz is great because it has the least amount of Hughes' yelping. I love his singing, but that shit was so annoying.
I'm glad you guys mentioned them playing to more of a heavy metal crowd and getting their respect. Saw Michael Schenker Group at Hell fest and it was the same to me. Most those people didn't know who they were but once they hit song 2-3 crowd was getting into it and by the end the realized they saw something great and Schenker was on it. The UFO songs were awesome as usual even with Romero being lazy not singing all the correct lyrics. Great to see shit like that.
Japan/Europe untouched
Deep Purple {in Hell… “Into the Fire”..} = the heaviest Deep Purple album live ever. Bootleg
Its not a concert, its a live sample made by fans
