ROCK REVIEW 1969-1972

When I was 13 years old I bought my first record player, 24 Carat Purple was my first LP but soon followed by albums from The Sweet, Dutch pride Golden Earring, Black Sabbath and again Deep Purple with Made In Japan. I have always loved their dynamic live sound and their extended soli and instrumental improvisations on stage. Listening/watching to this DVD you can enjoy different TV live footage from Deep Purple (although half of the tracking list is also on the DVD Live In Concert 1972/73), especially the very long version of Mandrake Root (1970 TV) makes this DVD already worth buying: a dynamic, very propulsive climate, halfway Jon Lord delivers Keith Emerson inspired 'stage antics' on his Hammond organ and Ritchie Blackmore turned out to be a second coming of Jimi Hendrix, very exciting live footage, that's why I have added this DVD to the Prog Archives site! To me the live material from 1970 sounds as a bridge to Made In Japan, more raw but their is the thrilling embryonal great interplay between Blackmore/Gillan and Blackmore/Lord that would mature to an ultimate level on the great Made In Japan live 2-LP. AN INTERESTING DVD!
