Deep Purple, or rather probably their record label, tried to emulate the runaway success Made In Japan was with this album.

It is difficult to find a greater contrast between two live albums. Made In Japan was well over the top and a sparkling bottle of champagne. Made In Europe is only a decent bottle of white wine. The music here is faultless, but not particular well delivered. It feels like the rot has set in and I am saying this with the greatest possible respect for Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale. David Coverdale's vocals on the soon-to-be the much missed Ronnie James Dio's own anthem Mistreated is excellent and worthy the whole album alone. Burn too is excellent. The rest is like stale white wine. If feels like the cork has destroyed the rest of this bottle/live album. In short, this is a good live album with no fizz, but nothing more than that. It does not raise my blood pressure in any way or form, so I leave it like this.

3 stars (barely)
