The title is somehow misleading because the DVD features live performances from two sets - live at a TV studio in 1970 and live at a concert in 1972. If that "1969-72" was meant to show the yearspan of the songs covered in this selection, it is again not correct because "Mandrake Root" was originally recorded in 1968 for the album "Shades Of Deep Purple".

Still, this is a worthy video selection of live performances from the peak of Mark II line-up. Comments from various journalists, musicians and producers are concise and placed between the songs, so none of them is interrupted. Performances are excellent and nicely captured with camera. Apart from all-time rock classics known to anyone remotely interested in rock music, the inclusion of extended jamming of "Mandrake Root" and "Wring That Nack" from the first two albums are real treat for fans. Highly recommended visual experience.

PERSONAL RATING: 3/5

P. A. RATING: 4/5
