LIVE IN CALIFORNIA 74

Excellent Mark III concert promoting their latest album Burn in USA, April 1974. Performance is powerful, high-energy heavy rocking. Lord and Blackmore have their solo parts with on-stage acrobatics and mistreatment of their instruments, which culminated in Blackmore's setting fire to the Marshall speakers! The film is nicely shot from different angles (including bird-eye view from a zeppelin flying over), so the watching experience is much like in-theatre. The music set consisted of songs from their perhaps best albums, Machine Head and Burn. A worthy video that should be part of any heavy rock (and heavy prog) video collection.

PERSONAL RATING: 3/5
